When I first started in magic I like many others started off in cards only and was doing all the basics like a ACR or the Biddle trick or w/e it was. Well two years later I am officially tired of cards, I have not given up on them or anything and I believe that great tricks are always being released but it just wasn't getting the reactions as I truly had hoped. Maybe it was my expectations or my patter or presentation but everyone had said that everything was well done but it left their mind within a few minutes.
That's when I got into mentalism, it's just imo the best type of magic second to money magic, here's why. I never always carried my cards with me and when I did the tricks like I said before the reactions never lasted because they always knew that it was sleight of hand or a neat little gimmick. Most of the tricks I now do require almost nothing or can be picked up right there. I started maybe a few months ago and everybody and I truly mean everybody always ask me to do tricks to them. Most of my stuff is from Luke Jermay such as Skullduggery, 3510, and some others. I also picked up Technique and practicing at making sure I don't get "caught."
So basically I want to hear the voice of some magicians on what is your favorite type of magic, whether it be close-up, street, stage, cards, money, mentalism or w/e else there is. So tell us what it is, why, and your favorite effect.
Mine is mentalism obviously, basically because of the wow factor I receive with it, and Touching on Hoy. More detailed would be nice but I already told you why so voice your opinion. Also I never claim to have psychic powers like those of Hydrick or Gellar, I simply say that the mind is a powerful tool with the right person.
Thanks for reading and posting, sorry if this was already posted but it's good to bring back old posts when so much can change.
