    Having spectator pick a card from a face up deck

    So I was learning Revolution #9 by Aaron Fisher from The Paper Engine. For those of you who don't know effect, you spread the deck face up for the spectator to choose their card. My question is, do you think that having them choose a face up card loses some of the magic compared to them...

    Preparation - In Front of Audience

    After watching the video of David Blaine's performance, it got me thinking: How do you set up the deck for the next trick in front of spectators? Blaine seems to keep connecting with his audience through humor and patter in between tricks. He is super good at controlling his audience. Do you...
