    Quality vs quantity

    When performing casually for strangers I will only show them 2-3 effects and then hand them two business cards - one for them and one for a friend who may have a need for entertainment. Sure you may only land one gig out of handing out 20 business cards; however that one gig could lead to others...

    What's a trick you hate doing but your audience loves?

    If you like crazy man's handcuffs look into my mentor's Twistration Effect on the Wire - Ed Ellis. Same move and principle yet their focus is on the ring and not your fingers.

    What tricks make your audience say "do that again!"?

    For me it is also card to mouth and crazy man's handcuffs. Like David mentioned though...generally it is when you have fooled them or caught them off guard so bad they "have" to know when the magic happens and want a second try at it :) I usually refrain and do something similar. For example...

    List of Effects that Leave your Spectator With a Souvenir

    Hey Everyone, I wanted to get a good list going of effects that leave your spectator with a souvenir that they actually keep. These types of effects leave a lasting impression and they are very powerful. Signed cards and Anniversary Walts are common. Stargazer leaves them with a star rubber...

    Gig Prep

    I absolutely use this same method of a flip up lid to hide my set show list. It mentally keeps me moving and in order and on time. :) I know that sounds very amateurish; however, the more pros I talk to...they do the same thing. Whether it is a notecard with tape or just a small post it note.

    Being Creepy?

    I've heard that magicians are "creeps" many, many times. I think some magicians who have in fact crossed the line a time or two while hitting on the hot girl in the group with magic have ruined it for the rest of us. As mentioned, a lot of magicians do NOT know how to read their audience or...

    Sleight club members

    I don't claim to know Madison nor have I ever had the urge to purchase something from him. It's a shame that you do tend to see so many posts though of people never receiving their products or hearing back from him for long periods of time.

    Nerves

    First of all, congratulations on your win(s). Secondly, Nerves can get the best of you, even for people like me who have been performing for 18 years straight. It's just our bodies reaction to adrenaline and/or our thought process of "What if something goes wrong?" The bodies reaction can be...

    Ready to go professional

    For me it started out as a hobby and me entertaining my classroom of students at school. I would also just entertain/perform for my friends and family. Then parents started calling me to see if I could be "hired" for birthday parties. I started out only charging between $50.00-$100.00 as I began...

    Strongest Card trick?

    Honestly people love my sloppy triumph routine. They just cant wrap their heads around it. Ha. So easy yet so so powerful. Also, keep in mind the strength of any card routine is the acting, patter, interaction with the spectator, etc. I've seen some people devastate a crowd with an effect and...

    VIDEO EDITOR

    Are you running Windows or Mac? Just remember: Nobody says it "has" to look like a movie trailer with sweet transitions and effects. Just basic features is all you will need. On a Mac I know most of you will bash me for this, but iMovie or Final Cut works perfectly fine.

    Best place to buy the invisible deck?

    Interesting, because I was just with Joe, the owner, at a convention and he is the one who sprays all of the gaffed decks and owns the business Haines House of Cards. Did you try calling them perhaps to see if they have any? I know his daughter quit the business and she was the original sprayer...

    Best place to buy the invisible deck?

    Best place to get Invisible Decks is Haines House of Cards in Cincinnati, OH. I believe they are the ones who stock Penguin if I am not mistaken. Shipping to you is always going to be a hassle though. If it's always too expensive you could try to make your own which isn't too bad using the...

    Where to buy?

    Do you have any Pat Catans or JoAnn Fabric Stores around? Anything like this, or Fabric stores as CWhite mentioned will have more than what you'll need. They just wont have the edge stitched yet. Plenty of colors and styles to choose from.

    Book Tests

    Gatsby is very easy and you can focus on your presentation. For the price it's a great effect. Mix it in with two other chapter books and magicians force Gatsby and then go into your presentation. Talk about how most chapter books contain over 100,000 words in them and it would be near...

    Gatsby Book Test

    I do not believe this is a new method at all, but just a new book published utilizing this old method. I have been using the same version with a few other chapter books that use the exact same method for the past 18 years. If its identical which I believe it is....this is something all of you...
