    David Blaine?

    I agree with what you are saying Steerpike. I'm my opinion and you may disagree with me, but I think in terms of methods, mentalism is easier than learning say card or coin sleights. The challenge comes with the presentation and really selling the effect to the audience so the notion that its...

    Present a trick without presentation?

    yes and no. When I'm working on a effect in conjunction to practicing the moves ect I am thinking about a presentation. Usually by the time I have the moves down I will have a rough presentational idea, and I do mean rough. When I'm at that stage I will start performing it in casual...

    David Blaine?

    Although I agree with a lot of what your are saying, I don't fully agree with this. You mentioned Max Maven in a previous post and I have seen him use a deck of cards many times to perform an effect. At an EMC he even gave a talk, using a hindu shuffle force (which is a force I hate mind you)...

    New to Coin Magic

    This book is worth every penny! You can spend that on a coin set for just one effect, this book is a lifetimes knowledge from the best coin worker ever. Buy bobo but I wouldn't use it in the same way as you would Royal Road or something. I see it as more of a encyclopedia, so if you are...

    Editing to Protect the Secret

    So why would you ever consider using such an effect? My point is you should look at the material you want to use, then see how much editing would be needed to make the effect work for tv. If it requires a lot of editing to make it work for tv then its not an effect that should be performed on...

    Editing to Protect the Secret

    This is the hole in the trick the, the repetition. Something like ACR has repetition but its so well hidden that the method flies past the audience. Something like card to pocket has quite blatant repetition especially if the footage can be viewed multiple times, therefore for TV magic there...

    Traveling to Vegas

    I was in vegas a few months ago and I went to see the Penn and Teller show, highly recommend it. I would agree with Derek go to Denny and Lees was a great shop to visit and the guy working there was very friendly.

    Editing to Protect the Secret

    Luis Piedrahita did a great talk at EMC about tv and magic and talks about the use of camera work (not editing, I see the two as separate) to get the best out of an effect on TV. If you watch his performances on youtube, which come from his slot on the Spanish tv show he works on (yes the clips...

    Card Sandwich Performance/tutorial

    I think part of the problem when it comes to not being able to credit ect comes from a lack of experience. I get the sense that a lot of younger guys feel the need to be a creator is greater than being a performer which I think they feel will get the, 'noticed' quicker. Therefore they over...

    Timing with the palm

    The most important part of the palm (whatever palm its is) you have a reason to bring the hands together, it has to be an in-transit action. If you get that right, the timing doesn't come into as much, the move will just pass the audience by, hidden is a off beat moment. Trying something like...

    you don't need visine, i cant get that brand in my country but researched what properties visine had and bought another brand that did the same, and yes you do need 100% cotton. First time i tried it i didn't use 100% because I was stupid and impatient, it felt like I had been punched in the eye...

    you can get the soft vinyl TT at penguin, they give them away free if you order Darwin's Encyclopedia of TT magic (its called something like that) would highly recommend it if your learning TT magic.

    What deck for sleight of hand tricks

    Personally I don't buy into all these 'designer decks'. Since I perform a lot the cost would be to high to keep replacing them. I have used Bikes for years, nothing wrong with them at all. Although recently I have started using Tally Ho's a lot and really like them.

    Card tricks

    Books all the way, you get such good value for your money. Not knowing your skill level, I would echo what steerpike said can't beat Royal Road for value for money in terms of what the book gives you.
