Ok so I saw the trailer for "Bottled" by Taiwan Ben on Murphy's YouTube Channel. In the trailer it says "An impromptu street miracle". However, Murphy's also states something about a gimmick in one of the comments. So which is it. Because if this is impromptu, this is ridiculously good. I...

Just curious to know if you guys prefer angle palms over the classic palm, or vice versa, and in which scenarios you prefer one over the other. Also, what are your favorite angle palms? Personally, I like using a bit of both. I prefer cops when I am hiding a card, or when I need to ditch it...

Alright, time for a nice old discussion. I feel like we haven't had one in a while. So I've been experimenting again. I'm looking through some gimmicks, creating a few with half baked ideas to see if they work, etc. I'm wondering how you guys would answer to this, because I know the answers...

Could someone direct me to where I should look for magic books in the public domain? Also, what books are available? I've been hunting for a week around the internet, and either I've been looking in the wrong places, or just not seeing it. -Maaz

Hey guys, So I have decided to buy some impromptu ring magic to compliment Odyssey. I am currently deciding between Divorce by Justin Miller & Reflex by Patrick Kun. They are pretty similar for a few moves, but I feel like I'm getting more out of Divorce? At the same time, I think Reflex fits...

What is an index, and where can I learn about one/find one? From what I understand, it has all the cards in a deck, and you can easily find and palm one off, from your pocket or something? I've only just run across it a couple times now and am super interested.

So about a year ago, I was practicing my coin through table, the one with the lapping coin vanish. I then thought "this is a very powerful utility one can use for many things" (Ok, so I probably didn't say those words exactly... or at all, idk?). Anyways, I then realized that in a walk around...

Anyone know any good books, dvd, or something with a lot of Ring Magic? Preferably ring magic requiring one ring, or. I purchased Odyssey, and now am super excited about ring magic. Specifically I'm looking for some EDCs or impromptu stuff I can do already with the Ungimmicked Odyssey Ring...

So I have heard multiple magicians talk about Rubik's cube magic, downgrading it as if it isn't a real form of magic, and I can;t understand why. Their reasoning is that "Oh well, the effect is the method." or for the effects that do something different "The effect is made to look plausible."...

You guys know that patter a lot of people use when they perform a trick where they find the card that revolves around temperature? The one where the magician "will find your card because it is warmer than the rest of the deck, because it has been handled a bit by [the spectator]" and so on...

Hey guys. So I recently had a really weird idea about making a couple gaff cards super slick to do certain moves. Specifically, I was looking at a home made blank, and noticed that sometimes it would stick too much to the card below it while I did a top change, which was a serious problem (I...

Hey guys. So I felt a need to go back and revise my top palms, so I went into the Royal Road and started reading through the palming section. I noticed something kind of weird, at least to me. Whenever I was focusing on getting the palms, it seemed like it was super unnatural, and kept landing a...

So long story short, I basically used math and some common givens to "prove" that we can all mathematically be seagulls (or anything else for that matter) if we eat water that has a ton of cornstarch dissolved in it with a fork (in a hypothetical world). Everyone I have told this too has...

Hey guys! I am making a show roughly 30 min long for a pretty nice public place with a lot of people. However, I have a ton of questions. Just to help you guys help me, here is a general overview of what it might look like. I plan to add more to this. (These are all with patter). The timings...

Sometimes when I start performing a trick, something clicks off in my head and I forget my steps that I normally take. I thus have to improvise. The performance normally ends up going, but my brain is yelling "AHHHHH" the whole time. Am I the only one that this happens to? If so... uh... Have...

So I am super interested in Odyssey. It is blowing my mind. However, as someone who likes to adapt a trick to my style the fullest, I have to know, is it adaptable? Like, can I adapt it to do more than what is shown in the DVD, or is it just one of those tricks where I can more or less do it...

So before I even got into magic, I saw a video by DisturbReality teaching a trick called Pulse. Though I have long since abandoned his channel (because A. His videos aren't even good or correct most of the time, and B. He falls under the category of Exposers out there, not to mention C. I found...

So I have an idea for a routine where I essentially switch out one card for another as I speak. The card I am switching in cannot be in the deck, and the card I am switching out cannot be left in the deck. What's the best place for me to look? I was thinking of basically doing a 2 handed switch...

Do you guys think its ok to skip small parts in books? Like for example, I don't want to spend 1/2 an hour reading "The Overhand Shuffle" section in the Royal Road, so I've kind of been avoiding it whenever I pick up the Royal Road (I'm still reading through it, along with a couple other books)...

So I've been seeing a lot of close friends and family recently, and I was told it was illegal to perform on the streets. So 3 questions: Would it be illegal to actually perform on the street, in a mall, in a park, or in an open commercial center (like a large complex or area with a ton of...
