    Creating a character?

    Just saying...non-professional and non-working magicians also need to go through the trouble of creating a unique character and striving not to look ''too mainstream'' or like a copy. And we have to do it to elevate our performance... Just saying...:-) :-) :-)

    Magicians' Party in AGT This Year?

    Well, I have never closely followed AGT (for, well, obvious reasons) and so, the only way I would discover magicians and their acts on AGT is through there performance videos. Through those videos, I even got to know many magicians whom I admire today. If not for those AGT videos, I would have...

    The Top Change:-Um...why?

    Does the card for the top change need to be pushed off sideways or downwards or 'it doesn't matter-do what you feel comfortable with'? PS:-Thanks...the help I'm getting here is really top-notch.

    Packets

    It is a sweet idea and I do it when I want to just understand the basic moves rather than having to stop and pick cards up halfway everytime. It's rather like the small adjustments we make...instead of usinf a finger to twirl a packet, we use our chins to achieve that necessary bit of extra...

    Great. I palmed a card. Now what?

    Mate, get RRTCM, loads of great ideas there. That is one of the good points of RRTCM actually...sleights, er...not so much? But the ideas are really sweet. Also, check out YT videos man! Those have some great ideas! You already know a palm...so there's no danger of you ''mis-learning'' from YT...

    Where Can I Learn This?

    Check out Chris Ramsay's bad magic video, street magic edition tho...that has some spt comments for this guys to listen too. I dunno why people call out on those videos of Chris. Admittedly, I might have been happier if he did more 'Reacting to Demon Magic' that 'Bad Magic'...but that guy can...

    The Top Change:-Um...why?

    Should we change the grip of the card when doing the sleight tho? I mean, RRTCM says that in the beginning the card is held between the middle finger and thumb. But at the end (after the change) if I follow all its instructions really well, the card gets held in between index finger and thumb...

    The Top Change:-Um...why?

    Also also also...is it really that much of a sin in a double change to pull back the card to be changed with thumb?

    The Top Change:-Um...why?

    Hold on...I am not asking 'why' the top change should be perfected and used... I am asking... In RRTCM, they have said to keep the index finger at the outer longer edge of the deck instead of the normal dealer's grip to prevent 'overlapping'...what sort of overlapping? Also, are we supposed to...

    Magic Theft

    The unfortunate thing here is, that most popular magicians today perform others' effects, with permission, but...well...the creator in question remains anonymous... Aaah...the bitter world...

    Magic Theft

    I understand what you mean. I did say it is wrong. But not legally speaking. Exactly. Hmmm...I see...this will actually make for wonderful food for thought to be honest... See...this is what I like abt these forums and these topics...they make you think beyond questions like "Is my pass...

    How can I get to cardistry???pls help

    Ah India...the place where a standard Bicycle deck is 700 Rs... Don't worry, it's actually okay for me to say so...I am an Indian :-) But...card quality doesn't really matter in cardistry. I mean, it will matter if you have a poop deck or a new one...but other than that I have never seen a...

    New and Need Help/Guidance

    I started magic when I was 8. Now am 14. Hand size will never matter that much. First off, you can use bridge sized decks...if not possible, just do what I always do. Whenever I see an effect, or a cardistry move that stumps me, I always aske myself, "Well, if he can do it, why can't I? What is...

    Things that I always wonder about

    In that logic, I cannot help but think that then, a real magician would not do ANYTHING at all, because then, THEY WOULD BE BREAKING THE INTERNATIONAL STATUE OF SECRECY!!! If you notice anyone doing anything like that, please report the matter at once. The offender shall be asked to appear...
