Touché my friend...

And a lot of tricks become impromptu if you learn how to routine properly. And a good spread cull never hurt anyone either...

I would also strongly recommend the fasdiu notes, both volumes. You can get them directly from Paul Cummins himself at http://fasdiu.com/

Well RikAllen.... If your job as a magician is not as an entertainer, what would you call it? Certainly you want your audience to be amazed, in awe and wonderment, no? All those things fall under the entertainment category in my opinion. Maybe you would prefer the art category, but magic exists...

"For those who believe, no explanation is necessary; for those who do not, none will suffice." I don't bother trying to alter anyone's beliefs with my magic...in my opinion, that's just plain old manipulation. I prefer do go the way of the professionals ala Osterlind and Banachek and explain...

In my opinion, it's extremely hard to give a review without some sort of bias. Every magician comes to the table with his own preconceived ideas as to how the DVDs could have improved. All you need to do is recognize the facts: lots of gimmicks used, limited presentational ideas, ect. And the...

JB, what would you say is your greatest achievement, and what do you want to leave as a legacy to the magical community?

Classic Pass (with cover) Side Steal (as taught in CC) Orbit Control

I am almost positive that can be found in "The Complete works of Derrick Dingle" under the title "rollover aces"

Ace of Spades...

I really liked it. Thanks for sharing this.

I do the classic pass with my right fingers. this will eliminate any finger flash especially if you are appearing to simply square the deck, riffle, or dribble (just naming off some common covers used) In my opinion the best looking passes are the ones where the left fingers do not move at all...

Very smooth. It's a thing of beauty when you get to see a pass this nice. I'm a pass man myself, so I know all the hours you've spent polishing the move. Your efforts have not been in vain.

Until you learn to handle situations like this, stick to doing something I and many other magicians swear by. FORCE EVERY CARD. If you miss the force (assuming you're doing a classic) you still have a key you can cull under the spread and have them replace their card anywhere. If you don't want...

Split Spades Lions are the best cards I've ever handled, hands down!

Either way, analyze your routines and have a reason for every move you make. Misdirection is very powerful. Use it to your advantage. And if you perform standing, you could try those lines out.

Magical Thoughts on Angles This is an important topic in magic that I couldn't resist giving my take on. So here it is. Do angles really play a major role in close up magic? Yes, but I believe that their worrisome nature can be overcome with simpler (not necessarily easier) sleights and...
