    Best MisDirection Tools, Tips, and Tricks?

    Hey, just a quick pointer - if people are going to burn you like that, you don't have to perform for them. Magic is a gift, you don't always have to give it away freely whenever. You can choose who you perform for :)

    Deal Practice Contraption

    Dude, I love your ingenuity and willingness to go out and make whatever you need to make something work. Every time I see it it makes me smile.

    hahaha that's great! Is that kinda the same idea we were talking about in a DM a while back?

    Need opinions on back design

    I've gotta say, I really love the red and green ones. For the green deck, is the subtle nod to Erdnase intentional?

    1 Card Switch

    Justify it by saying you're putting it there for them to sign it.

    Advice on Pen/Sharpie Switching

    It's pretty simple. Just put the regular sharpie away in your pocket after they sign a card. Then, when you pull it back out, just grab the dead sharpie. You're overcomplicating things a little :)

    1 Card Switch

    I would cop the gimmick to the bottom, and place the full card "on the bottom" after the cop. Avoiding too much exposure, if you do this with some careful thumb placement, you can appear to show the full card. Take it off with a wrist kill and stick the deck in your pocket or something. Sorry...

    Cipher

    dude. Just read their mind or do some sort of cold reading. One easy idea have them say words (i.e. for their passcode ask them to say 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9) and "react" to their body behavior or whatever. Then, you can "make it harder" by having you say the words, not them, and then, just narrow...

    Duplicate signature from an audience member

    That JM effect is indeed a fun "duplication" method. It's also on one of the bold project volumes if you have those.

    Help learning a trick...

    Hehe! :D (That's what I was thinking as I was watching it too) Oh and newmagician353, I might recommend looking into an invisible deck. It's a totally different effect, but it's something you might find interesting. It's a good trick for new magicians too.

    Duplicate signature from an audience member

    Although the Now You See Me movies aren't necessarily the most accurate when it comes to magic, there are actually some interesting duplicate signed card ideas there... most are unrealistic but still interesting... just something to consider.

    Need opinions on back design

    Is it possible for you to make a single post with all of the variations of the design you've made it would make comparisons a lot easier for me :) Clicking between pages of a thread is fine, but it's hard to make comparisons in that way.

    And that's what I meant by a bunch of exceptions :)

    YouTube Magicians

    Exposing - revealing effects that aren't yours Teaching - your own effects There are a bunch of exceptions and such to those^, but that's my 10 word opinion

    Magic trading?

    I'm totally against trading tricks - unless they are the full products of the individuals trading them. Trading tricks you've gotten from another source or magician is totally disrespectful to them - taking their intellectual property away and essentially stealing from them.
