    Tryin to learn the Human Crazy Straw

    You know, I didn't know if it was true, but I *knew* he must've done it. Though I have no experience with the Human Crazy Straw. I second emailing him if you have questions about stuff hes done, he's normally super helpful and points you in the right direction.

    Omni Deck Standing Summer Switch

    A deck in a pocket normally works fine for me. I like a 2 hand deck switch, where you reach into both pockets at the same time, ditch one deck grab the other, and come out with a pen or something all during patter I really like that deck switch by @obrienmagic , sorry I can't remember the name...

    Odessey Ring Magic

    Did you buy it here from TXI? If so, go here https://www.theory11.com/account/refills or go to your name in the top right corner, hover over it to open the drop down menu, go to refills. There you can buy a refill for 20 bucks, gets you a brand new ring in whatever size you want. If you didn't...

    Pick a Card, and any other patter you avoid

    I think I phrased that wrong. What I meant was obviously stating something as if it happened when it didn't. I don't see a point to it. If I wanna make it look like the card's in the center of the deck with a tilt, the audience can see that, I don't need to restate it with a straight up lie for...

    Complete newbie

    If you're going with card magic, that's pretty much where I'd start. The Royal Road is a great place to learn some very interesting but basic moves and tricks. If you want some more "all around" magic, I recommend Mark Wilson's complete course - it has things ranging from card tricks, to money...

    California

    Yeah guys, stay safe! That earthquake sounds insane. This is actually a super interesting question. It would probably have to be someone that does a bit of "crazy" magic that isn't just a run of the mill magician, but fits alongside Houdini's stuff. Someone who does some weird things verging...

    California

    He would never lower himself to such standards to accept a virtual nobody when compared to him to open his show. He's much too famous and too good of an entertainer to do such a thing, he'd scoff at the mere mention of the idea. Jibrizy would obviously have his own show. More like whodini amirite.

    Pick a Card, and any other patter you avoid

    I kinda hate directly lying to the spectators. I also hate saying things and pointing out stuff that obviously happened, because it just makes it seems suspicious, slieght or not. "Let's put the card in the center of the deck.", and after following to do so "TRUE OR FALSE?" THE CARD WHICH YOU...

    Reboot it

    Breaking the Magician's Code: Magic's Biggest Secrets Finally Revealed Only instead of the Masked Magician and a full crew of people, it's actually just Penn and Teller on a stage (with a film crew of course), and they still keep ethics in mind. Also, it's almost like a "P&T: BS" version...

    Overhand shuffle... no look

    Honestly, it's just practice. Practice the exact same moves, but look at the packet so you know your doing it right. Then slowly stop looking at it. Eventually, you'll tart using the muscle memory over the actual visual connection. You can just feel it. If not, then maybe use a larger break and...

    Help with a science project on distraction and attention

    It's not a card trick, but if you can learn Paper Balls Over the Head, it's probably a good way to go. It's an easy trick where the entire audience is in on it apart from the one person you call up to the audience. However, it's pretty hard to pull off well, because you really need to be able to...

    This trick is too small for a BIG STAGE?

    Is the ring clearly visible from the back of the audience? If so, then go ahead with it. I've never performed from a stage, but in my own experience, ring routines are best when done up close. Even taking a few steps too many back kind of ruins them, they become hard to see and hard to engage...

    Over acting in magic ads

    People act weird when there's a camera ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I don't doubt it has something to do with the fact that it's a group of teenage guys watching a magic trick, and magic is seen as somewhat lame at times. Just wants to try and be funny for his friends I guess Doesn't look like the performer...

    BGT Banning Card Magic

    Yea, but every notable singer sounds and performs differently. Card tricks have this weird habit of just being grouped together as one thing, even when they're different.

    BGT Banning Card Magic

    I think the problem falls down to 2 things: A) There are probably too many magicians. With magic, most of our material is at its core shared with that of other magicians. The preliminary judges (and then even the ones we see on TV) and the crew all have to go through thousands of auditions a...

    Advice needed: what is best slight to pretending to turn coin over but switching it out?

    So like a standard shuttle pass? As your talking, turn over the left hand but naturally close your fingers over the coin, whilst mimicking placing the coin in the right hand. Turn the right hand face up to meet the first hand and then drop the left hand.
