Omega looks awesome. When the effect was initially in development, did you consider simply using a Svengali or reverse Svengali deck (and "Major" cojones) to accomplish the effect? How does Omega address the possible problems inherent with this approach?

1. Outside of mentalism, what are some of your favourite effects you like to perform?
I LOVE RUBIKS CUBE MAGIC, puzzles and optical illusions!
Good Luck Everyone!
What advice do you give new comers to mind reading what books should I read?
1. Do you have a specific process you generally use when you are trying to create original tricks, and if so, what does it look like?
2. How did you, in particular, make a name for yourself in the magic community?
When creating a new effect or reworking an older idea, where do you find your inspiration comes from?
What is your best tip that you would say keeps you the most motivated when working on a new project?
OMEGA deck ;-) thats my babyWhat is your favorite trick of your own creation? Like a favorite child.
What magic book you keep coming back to every now and then?
perform as OFTEN as possible. every chance you get for all types of crowds. in the beginning I did kids birthday parties. you'll learn valuable skills that are universal as an entertainer. also dont underestimate FREE shows. a lot of performers are adverse to this, but really you should take every opportunity to perform in front of a crowd as possible. thats where growth comes from.Hey, Max Major ! How are you spending time in the quarantine ? and, what does it take for an amateur cardician to develop skills to become a professional magician as yourself ?
I'm here! doing my best to answer the ones we did not have time to discuss on instagram. love you guys!Great Live stream guys! Heads up Max said he might go onto this thread and continue to read and answer questions, but if you bought the product and have questions to feel free and send him an instagram DM.
If you had to give OMEGA an honest slogan, what would it be.
If someone told you they were going to spend half of their bank account of OMEGA would you agree or would you try to talk them out of it? (Uhhh.. that’s, uhhh, Totally like a hypothetical situation of course... uhhh... like, I’m not self projecting or anything like that for those wondering!)
I did my first show for a neighbors bday party when i was 14 (the bday child was 6 or 7 i believe) since then i've done 1000's of live shows in every situation imaginable. and i think thats really the key. performing as often as possible. rehearsal and practicing moves will NOT make you a better entertainer. thats a seperate muscle that only gets stronger through actual shows. so get as many reps as possible.How did you get to where you are?
When did you get into magic / how old were you when you started?
1.) Can you share a unique performance/reaction story? The first one that jumps to your mind. Funny, unlikely, heart-warming, anything goes!
2.) What is the story behind Phantasmagoria Vol.1? The production is outstanding, will there be more of it?
Not sure if I answered this one yet, but collaboration is really the key to unlocking great potential in yourself. Find some magic friends you can bounce ideas off of and you'll surprise yourself at how the sum is greater than the partsWhen creating a new effect or reworking an older idea, where do you find your inspiration comes from?
What is your best tip that you would say keeps you the most motivated when working on a new project?
5-6 years - but really it took 23... because its based off of everything i'd learned and experienced prior. nothing happens in isolation.What’s the process behind creating an effect or a gimmick ? How long did it take you for Omega (for example) ?
That is amazing! Keep it up!!AHHHHHH!! lol I joined the live just as it was ending! Congrats @scottbaird ...
I was out delivering food to some folks who can't go out. It's my way of helping out.
I hope everything went smooth!
Cheers!!
