    Close-Up Standing Ovation

    Let me rephrase. Harry at no point asks for the ovation. He simply wants people to remain standing because standing up for a couple of minutes is easier than trying to keep your arm aloft for a couple of minutes. After all, that's what legs are for. The audience get the idea to applaud on...

    Close-Up Standing Ovation

    You're severely underestimating the power of subtlety. While simultaneously overestimating the average person's knowledge of stagecraft. How do you know? Does this work for you on the cruises? I'll take your word for it. But this is not a one-size-fits-all idea. Way too easy to come...

    Close-Up Standing Ovation

    Do you ask for a tip by complaining about how you never get one? Because he doesn't ask for the ovation. He asks them to remain standing to visually prove that he has named every single person in the audience. There's no possibility of claiming that he missed someone. The sight of it is...

    Close-Up Standing Ovation

    Some may interpret that as emotional blackmail. Just saying. If you really want a standing O, you have to facilitate it. Harry Lorrayne is also an expert in mnemonic devices. One sly tactic he used to use was to get the names of everyone in the audience and say, "When I call your name...

    Is Cardistry recognizable?

    For what it's worth, I appreciate the vote of confidence. I know I can be difficult to work with, but that doesn't mean I don't care. I've decided not to bother with this particular thread after this. Max and Andrei repeatedly insist that my advice is bad/too negative, but they've never...

    Is Cardistry recognizable?

    So none of the stuff I posted contained ideas? Didn't you just get done saying a few minutes ago that you liked the proposed business plan for aspiring pro flourishers? Did that not count for some reason? At this point I'm half-tempted to just copy-paste a bunch of Courage Wolf memes just...

    Is Cardistry recognizable?

    Every time I say to do something in this thread, it got labeled as negative. That I wasn't being optimistic. That if people just believe in themselves, good things will come to them. I'm using hyperbole and humor to make a point. I can't believe I had to explain that just now. I could not...

    Is Cardistry recognizable?

    I guess not. This explains a lot. I was under the impression that you were a professional performer. Since your fans have declared rather overt contempt for me as a mentalist I figured I would quit preaching and see if I could get a professional to talk shop and discuss the ins and outs...

    Close-Up Standing Ovation

    A standing O at a restaurant will happen on occasion. But if I were eating out and a table stood up and started wildly cheering, I wouldn't be thinking, "Wow, I want the guy with the cards at my table!" I'd be thinking, "Time for the bartender to cut them off, I think." If a magician comes to...

    Is Cardistry recognizable?

    Wait, what? Dude, you've been at this for years. Are you actually telling me that you couldn't draft a new business plan if you had to? That can't be right. On the first page I gave one, or at least the skeleton of one. Look, I'll quote it right here so you don't have to dig for it: And...

    Is Cardistry recognizable?

    Let's assume that Mr. Serling would be standing by to explain everything to you in monologue format. I'm going to choose to ignore the catty remark. Let's start with the YouTube channel. What would go up on it? Webcam videos? Live videos? Montages? Make a promo. And send it to who...

    the most versitile sleight you know

    Perhaps more accurately labeled a utility, but I still consider it a non-negotiable part of the professional's toolbox. I've used it in most of my paid shows until recently.

    Is Cardistry recognizable?

    I love you too. Okay, let's try this from a different angle. Let's try a thought experiment. Let's say you wake up one morning to find the reset button was hit on your career. You retain all of your skills, but you no longer have any connections, gigs lined up, and only the savings from a...

    Jumbo Coins

    That might require some more digging. Don't believe I've come across one of those before.

    No mention of the key card? None at all? Shame.
