Youtube is what started me in magic. I watched a video the blew me away. On the related videos was a tutorial. The guy doing the tutorial was horrible. But, he did explain the effect. That tutorial motivated me to go purchase some decks of cards and practice the effect. After I got the same...

In magic, the joy of discovery, the anguish of practice, the satisfaction of mastery and the thrill of performance are all undertaken for a single moment. It staggers the mind to think of all the hours of practice that go into a brief, flashing moment in time, where you show your spectator...

hmmm It simply doesn't work. Magic comes from the power of Satan. jk I was performing for a church. And just by chance the month before I was doing the gig I was vacationing down in Branson, MI. One of the magic shops down there just came out with gospel tricks dvd's. 2 volumes. I picked one...

lol Reminds me of the first time I did Angle Zero. As I had a bunch of people drawn in I looked for a cell phone. There was a group of phones on the table behind the girls. But, the one I really wanted to use wasn't there anymore. I grab the guy just walking by me and ask him to open his phone...

my next gig My next gig is at a church. That should be interesting. Watch! With the power of SATAN I make your card rise to the top of the deck....AGAIN.

I completely agree. Trilogy was the first DVD set I ever bought. I made me nautious how hard some of the slieghts are. I got discouraged from it. But, Trilogy has always given me things to strive for. Hozzy Fozzy, Subway, there are some truely beautiful effects that, when performed correctly...

G.o.a.p. Because then their videos would have other people in them.....duh. :) I remember a video on t11 getting crucified. The kid was doing an effect for...no one. Just his lonely web cam. People ate him up...saying just about the same things here....go out and perform for someone...if...

Another one... Another interesting reveal comes from displaying the Queen of Spades. If you look in her right hand you will notice she is "holding" a card. She is holding what looks like a Six of Spades. So for a quick effect. Force the Six of Spades on someone...have them shuffle the cards...

Am I blind or did that trick where the deck vanishes and you left with the four kings magically vanished?

lol http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8tQgHiMGGU This is why I <3 him so much. Its a paradox for a Magician never to tell his secrets. If magicians didn't tell their secrets there would be NO magicians. Granted I don't like the guy, and simply won't watch his show. People will still enjoy...

Hows it going. I saw this message you sent to Chris: hey Chris i recently revisited 5-speed and i just had to tell you how shocking it was to me how you said the odds of the spectator of picking one of the five cards has never happened to you. well 3 out of 5 times it happens to me >.> the...

very helpful! Thank you for your review! I was really curious about the effect. I've been eying it for some time. But, I really couldn't see what was quite going on in their little video presentations. I thought it had to be pretty good being that it was a 20.00 effect vs the fair price of the...

On Demand Something else to check out are some of the On Demands at Dananddave.com That has become my other 1on1 type learning when T11 doesn't get anything new for the week. Or they put on a new trick that I'd have to save some cash up for...lit. :(

well... The only times I've had people "correctly" guess the middle card, was because they knew I did magic. They had seen a bunch of my other card magic. And just by my rep, the girl muttered "well, it SHOULD be the three, but knowing you...its my king of clubs." (sad face) not the reaction I...

hmm. Always the fun part of the 5 speed trick. Most of the time I don't give them a chance to do or say anything. I'll hand them thier original card (which they usually inspect, thinking there is something to that card.) While they are misdirected I simply scoop up the ace and two off the...

indeed but... I agree with you...some of the magic on youtube makes me sick to my stomach. BUT, youtube is what got me started in magic. I saw a trick that blew me away. And because of that one youtube video, Im preforming for people.

you said it I just had the same problem. An Illusionist was coming to town. My mom happened to be working for the theater and over heard something about it. Me mum was just asking for the dates of the show. Some how she told the lady running it that I did magic. The lady instantly wanted to...

pressure problems I think a private forum like THREAD should exist for this trick. I have questions. And I think by asking the question it would be basically telling how to do most of the trick. But, I really need to address it to someone. Because I'm sure the problem will happen again.

:D what a crappy idea for all the people who already picked up vol 1-3 and a manipulation deck for full price. How about a coupon or something for some $ off some other product? :D

materials? Where does one get "flash paper"? Can it be made?
