    Where you perform it. Street magic is on the street, usually standing. Restaurant magic is, well, at a restaurant...usually at a table. Standing vs table will affect SOME tricks.

    Would you change your performance for Females/Males?

    If you are referring me purchasing Art of Magic, I didn't. What happened was I was thinking of ways I could altar how I perform various tricks, and French Kiss came out of Here Then There before I ever knew of French Kiss. I just called it a variation on Here Then There that I could use on...

    Which Deck of Cards Should I Buy?

    Your choice, really. If you are just starting, I'd say go with standard bikes. They cost less and work great. That way, if you don't stick with it, you'll not regret paying extra for something you won't continue. If you wanna jump into custom decks and pay extra for the quality, go with...

    Need to know about Tally-Ho Viper's...

    Vipers are the only Ellusionist black deck I wouldn't recommend. I find that the black ink on them chip a LOT more and a LOT sooner than the others. If you wanna go black deck, I'd say go with a different one. Tigers are the same stock and finish. Black Ghosts are a bit thinner. Shadow Masters...
