I think any method for any trick would still require some misdirection. Most of the work for my trick is covered when you pass the deck from one hand to another. Personally I prefer my method to Madison's because its more convincing from the beginning because I show them the first card in my...

You're right. Madison does use a modified card for his effect. I called mine impromptu because I always keep my deck in order, I'll make sure I adjust my wording in the future. If you've seen Madison's effect he does it with a table. His handling makes it very difficult to do entirely in...

You are right, Gone is Madison's effect that gave me the idea. However, my version is meant to be entirely in the hands and doesn't need a table like M's. Not that his NEEDS a table but it helps. But I guess you are right that the effect is literally the same thing as Gone. I couldn't see that...

Just wanted to know if this effect sounds familiar to anyone. If not, I plan to publish the effect as my own with the title 'Stubborn'. Basic description of the effect (note that everything happens in the performers hands unless stated otherwise): The performer spreads through a face up deck to...

I like your method for practicing and shanging up when you use the bottom deal and when to top deal. The way I practiced when learning was to use only 2 cards and bottom deal, then use 3 cards, then 4 and 5.... you get it. It helped me subconsciously understand the move and learn how much...

Sorry, I'm in a rush and couldn't read all the advice you've already been given or see how much progress you have made. I am going to share with you my own personal way for achieving the bottom deal. I discovered this method completely uninfluenced, aside from seeing the end effect of the move...

Thanks. I'll give them a try

I recently purchased and downloaded a few Jason England videos but cannot watch them on my Android phone. It says there is no application to view the file. Has anyone else had this problem and found a solution? Any help is appreciated, thank you! Cheers! - Jake

Thank you all for your thoughts and contributions! I'm starting to wonder if a new name/label will be coming around for (street)magicians. I know a lot of people who dislike the magician title but don't know what else to call themselves. This has become a very interesting discussion and I'm...

I love how Madison puts off a serious and gloomy vibe 99% of the time but that 1% when he does something stupid for stupids sake makes me love him even more. -Jake

I did want to start something a bit different and I think it will get there soon. But the idea of being "someone who does card tricks" is too bland to get any interest, "deception artist" is somewhat pretentious, and "magician" has become too cheesy and cartoonish. "Doing card tricks" vs...

Hey everyone, my names Jake and I wanted to start a REALLY GENERAL discussion. I've been into the world of magic for about 5 years now and a lot of my thoughts have changed over these years. When I first started I had an obsession with learning how everything was done, then I was all about...

I sent you a PM. I've been doing the trick for a while. Hope I can help

That's what I thought it would be. Do you know of anyplace that would sell a gimmick like that? I know he revealed quite a few tricks, the biddle trick, here then there, french kiss, and the raven being a few of them. But he did help me get a foothold to start magic and get through performance...

If anyone is familiar with the How to Disturb Reality youtube channel would you happen to know what the name of the trick is in his intro where one card seems to be on fire and is "burning" into another card? I have been trying to at least find the name but I cant get anything on it.

I really like the effect. its pretty clever.

It shouldn't be a problem. If it does then you may have to adjust your grips when handling the cards. I had the same issue a few years back.

I realise that this is not the thread I thought it was.

Ok. That helped a lot. Thanks you guys

You guys totally lost me with the Mexico and Sombrero thing.
