    In need for help ;(

    Beat me to it - Marlo's Tilt is probably the easiest control out there for that, it shouldn't be a problem at all.

    Why do some spectators insist on messing with you?

    Is it bad that I've set up a situation for this to intentionally happen? Somebody was heckling me and I really couldn't deal with it anymore - so I just had someone pick a card and top changed it before I showed him. Maybe a little bit mean... but it got him to stop talking when the rest of the...

    Mark Wilson course authentic autograph?

    I do agree with you, but if I'm being entirely honest, my skills, experience, and knowledge weren't enough to carry a full stage show - that's simply not my style haha! I did try my best to do "bigger" tricks though. That's just what I'd do if I wanted to do my normal close up illusions, but it...

    Why do some spectators insist on messing with you?

    I've said this tons of times on the forums, but the easiest out of all is simply to just use a double backer. Keep it somewhere - in the box, in your wallet, etc. and if you screw up, just run through the deck doing the whole "I don't see it anywhere thing" and cut/cull it to the top. Just do a...

    Mark Wilson course authentic autograph?

    I don't know anything about that book, but if close up magic is what you do best, just see if you can find a way for them to rig up a projector and camera to see you perform :) I've done that before and it went amazingly actually!

    Dimension

    You could walk around with it all day, you'd just need to keep a couple small things on you. I'm making the trick sound worse than it is, it's just not my style :) It's really cool and ingenious though - it looks great.

    Dimension

    I got Dimension, hoping as I bought the trick that the method wasn't what I thought it was. But, of course it was :P I honestly won't ever perform it (this goes back to our gimmick discussion from earlier) but it is a hyper-visual effect. You will need to get some things to perform it though...

    thank you

    Remember doing a trick but can't recall the name

    Just use another glide :) Also, I think it's based off another trick in Royal Road, called "Designed for Laughter" if my memory is correct.

    Any bilingual magicians out there?

    I haven't had too much experience with performing in another language, but last summer, when I was on a cruise in the Mediterranean, I had an experience I'll never forget. The cruise was filled with people of basically ethnicity and background - seeing as it was going through Europe. So, the...

    Need opinions on back design

    Wow! I actually really like that back design! I enjoyed a lot at first, and the more I looked at it, the better it got. The subtle and understated intricacies are really nice! Please don't make this deck borderless, but thin borders are indeed much preferable to thicker ones. I'm not sure how I...

    GREEN RAREBIT VALUE?

    Normally, the only way for you to get Green Rarebits is if you literally go to their restaurant, and spend $100+ on your meal. (It comes as a bonus.) So, $100 is essentially the price of these cards (but you get some food in return :P) I don't know if it's necessarily worth it to buy, but the...

    Review & What's Next?

    Welcome! I'm glad to see you've joined our little group here on T11! I personally have no idea what T11's next big thing will be, but I'm as excited as you. I can also vouch for the fact that Monarchs are some amazing cards to play around with - I really enjoy mine. The different colors have...

    How does misdirection work

    I agree with most of what's been said above, and I'd like to add a bit of my thoughts too. Misdirection is a very powerful tactic, but I almost feel that it isn't named very accurately. It's almost more of a redirection than misdirection, you move their focus, but don't get rid of it entirely...

    Sealed Deck in Mnemonica Order

    I know several other decks that come in Mnemonica stack, but none that are bicycle or tally hos, sorry... If you're willing to look at other decks though, I do have some suggestions.

    Camera Frame vs Real Life

    You might want to try something like what Ellusionist did with this: http://www.ellusionist.com/fly-by-geraint-clarke.html I remember watching this trailer and being surprised by how candid Geraint was, it left a positive impression on me. This honestly might be the best way you can release a...

    Cards with what card it is on the back

    Hey Maaz.... you beat me to it again haha! Sorry, I had other stuff to take care of before I responded. However, I'd second what he has said - I was even gonna link you to that last discussion! The gold kings and the black kings by ellusionist are marked fully, but the red kings are not - they...
