    gambling soh (stacking)

    I think it's highly unlikely anybody would notice. As far as I'm aware, pickup stacking is still a relatively popular method of cheating at cards today, and if the "technique" flies by gamblers, we can safely assume that no one in the audience will detect it, either. Quite the opposite; I doubt...

    Magic Words

    This is exactly the question I'd been aiming for. Why does your magic happen? Does the magic illustrate a story you're telling? Does the magic "just happen -- dunno why"?

    Gambling Sleight of Hand

    Thanks for sharing, Joey, amazing work as always. I especially like your full deck control. Am I mistaken, or did you post another handling of that technique some months back? I remember being absolutely perplexed by it back then already.

    Saturday Night Contest - Variety Box!

    I'd love to own these deck: Thanks for this opportunity! And by the way, nice new picture, Casey! :-)

    Magic Words

    If you don't use a magic word, what do you do to "make the magic happen"? Do you use a wand (or impromptu wand-ersatz)? Do you tap the top card or snap your fingers (sorry, Liderc)? Or do you simply show the result of the magic, without any "excuse" for it to have happened?

    Marc DeSouza Lecture - Thursday Night at 7:00

    I couldn't believe it, but after looking at his profile I see you're completely correct. @RealityOne, thanks for notifying us! It'll be one o'clock in the morning here in Germany, but my sleep schedule's completely messed up anyway, so what the heck. See you there!

    Extraordinary Moments and Bias in Magic

    I disagree with this premise. If I understand you correctly, you're saying that in Ken Weber's (author of MU) opinion everything termed "magic" should consist solely of Extraordinary Moments, with no Tricks or Puzzles. That's not what Ken Weber says. On page 41-42 (of the revised edition) he...

    Michael, would you mind giving your 2p on the original question as well? I'd be very interested to hear your thoughts on the matter.

    This is truly hilarious!

    Congrats for making even such a "muggle" into a believer :) Thanks for the story, it was very entertaining!

    This is truly hilarious!

    Fantastic, thanks for the reply! :-)

    This is truly hilarious!

    Oh my goodness, this is so good! I really want to believe that reaction was real; can somebody please put my mind at ease?

    World Tour Magic

    Did I mention that this is insane? It depends on how you count, but I got a final count of 58 props / tricks in there. Thank you so much for taking the time! To stay in the spirit of the original question, since which of these props would you take around the world, considering you have to pack...

    Derren Brown Clones

    I'll add to this that this also holds true when performing as "psychic". I remember WitchDocIsIn recommending this to somebody who wanted to start doing séances: Be knowledgable about it. People who do believe in this stuff will come to your show, expecting it to be "the real deal", not just...

    Puzzles and Great Magic Performances

    I'm a sucker (pun intended) for cheating demos done expertly by people who know what they're talking about. In that spirit, may I present to you: Steve Forte. Turns out, I'm also a sucker for impossible and masterfully executed card magic (original as well) and hilarious shows with a...

    Magic Movies

    I haven't watched it myself, so correct me if I'm wrong. When the protagonists are entering the magic castle, don't you see Jason England performing a card trick for some people there? More specifically, the 21 card trick?

    Continuing Magic

    As somebody who regularly annoys his friends with words no sane person would even want to know, I can relate. Personally, I like to watch YouTube videos if I'm not making any progress with a particular sleight after practicing it from the book. Many YouTubers are very skilled...

    Continuing Magic

    Darwin Ortiz will argue that it's better to buy one book at a time -- see his essay "Next Book Syndrome" in Magic In Mind. @MohanaMisra I've started with Derren Brown's book, and already I can see a lot of your words shining through (or his words shining through in your posts?
