One of my favorite ways to get rid of "bad habits" like these is to learn the move with your other hand. Like I'm left handed, and when I get into a rut where I keep doing a move wrong with my left hand I force myself to do it with my right hand. Naturally it's a bit harder, but it's easy to...

I think what he's saying is that there is a piece of text in an ebook, that he thinks is Madison's, that goes something like this "in the eye of the devil basking in deception" Except there is more to the saying than just what's in quotes, and he wants to know what the whole saying was...

I really hope the routine plays out well. I've got a solid month and a half or practice time, and I plan on getting everything I can out of it. This is also my last 'thing', for lack of a better word this early in the morning, with all of my classmates, so I'm going to try my hardest to make...

I was lined up about a week ago to do a 20-30 minute stage show, though it could go on longer with no problem as long as it does well, at my high school as one of the senior performers for our final senior class meeting in front of 150 or so other students. I have roughly a month and a half to...

I just loaded an avi video into WMM, and played it with no problem on my Windows vista Home basic PC. I don't know what OS your on, and that may make some sort of a difference. However I did come to realize that I can't edit the avi video In WMM Even though it plays. If that's your problem...

It seems this is a common problem today. Refer to this thread for some advice, mine included, though it seems you may of already tried something similar. http://forums.theory11.com/showthread.php?t=25053

Teach him as you yourself were taught. Try not to come off as scolding, or ridiculing the person, but tell him that what he did was not as it should be. Tell him about the art of magic, and how it's not all about doing tricks to try and impress people or show off. Tell him about how great it...

I performed at a local restaurant called Bonnie and Clydes in Ocala Florida. They are closing down for a while to change owners soon, and the new years eve party was sort of their going away party to end the business with. The company paid 200 dollars for me to perform (My first gig, I didn't...

It was five hours, from 9 P.M. till 2 A.M. for a new years eve party at a local restaurant, as gambit said. It wasn't quite five hours though, I guess it was really closer to four hours, as I took a break while a band they hired played, and when they did a champagne toast for new years. I hope...

I posted a thread a few days ago by this same title asking for a little advice for my first gig, which was yesterday. I got a lot of great advice, and took a lot of it to heart. yesterday I did my gig, a five hour mix of strolling and table work from 9 P.M. to 2 A.M., and it went off without a...

You've gotten a lot of good advice so far, and you should try and take what everyone says into consideration. It may seem like quite a bit, but It's all helpful. Just to throw in my two cents, I think the best advice I'd ever gotten when I was rather new to magic was "Your too new to the...

I plan on opening with a coin production and vanish sequence, and ending with a coin to card box to lead into my card part of my routine, so my routine seems to fit pretty well with your advice. I think my only problem may be confidence for the first table or two. I think that once I get a...

I want to start by saying thanks for the advice, and anything anyone else has to say would be eagerly received. I've got a simple coins and cards routine set up, so it's light. The only thing I'm going to need a refill on are napkins, and dupes of a few cards, both of which are going to be...

I finally have my first gig, and let me tell you, I'm excited. More so that I think I've ever been, but I'm terrified. This is my first gig, and even though I've been performing for about three years now, I have no idea as to what I'm getting into, as it's my first time. I was asked to do some...

How should a person go about starting in cardistry? How did you begin in cardistry, what was your first move, or inspiration, and what inspired you to do so many original things in the field? Should cardistry be presented with magic?

I don't have a Facebook account, and really don't feel like making one, so sadly I can't watch it. You wouldn't of happened to upload it anywhere else?

Thanks again for the replies and help. I made another call down to the magic shop, and the owner said he would get his hands on EFX for me, and give me a call when he's got it. That's when I'll be going down (Probably in about two or three weeks) and getting Pretty much everything aforementioned...

First off thanks for all the help so far, and anything that anyone else contributes will be well appreciated as well. The closest magic shop to me is about half an hour drive away, but i called down and talked to the owner whom I know fairly well, and he said he'll see what he can do...

In about a year or so from now our school will be holding it's first talent show. I'll be a senior when this all goes on, and it will be my last year at the school, and I've built a decent reputation as a magician.As such from the day word got out about the talent show people have been asking me...
