    Magic Shops in Rhode Island and Boston

    If I remember correctly, the last time I went to the one in Newport it was more of a joke shop then a magic shop. I think there might be a Brick and Mortar magic shop in Mass. and there is definitely a Hank Lee's somewhere up there. I would suggest checking those out if you have the time to...

    Magic Shops in Rhode Island and Boston

    I live in Warwick, Rhode Island. It's only about 15 minutes from Providence. There really aren't many magic shops in Rhode Island. There are a couple in Mass. but most are a good hour away or more. Hope that helps. Matt Mello

    Honestly, not being great with sleights won't hold you back. Mentalism isn't usually about sleights. If you have a good performance style then you'll be fine. A lot of mentalism is building up something simple to make it look extremely difficult. Although, some things will take practice it is...

    Yea, I never present it as "psychic" as I don't believe in them and therefore wouldn't wish to promote it. I more or less talk about a psychic and me trying to duplicate what they do using my own methods. It more varies on the situation. If I get someone that I know believes in psychics, I...

    Very nice performance. It's weird watching other people perform effects I've created. But at the same time I'm glad that people are getting use out of it. More recently I've been performing it with more of a psychic flair. Rather then memorize the pack, I just turn away, I have them look at...

    So, now that people have had a chance to play around with this, I would love to hear the reactions you guys are getting and what you think of it now that you've had a chance to work with it in the real world. Some real world reviews would be great. Matt Mello

    Tips

    I've performed in restaurants for YEARS. Whenever I borrow a bill and give it back to them, they RARELY hand it back to me and tell me to keep it. It makes sense that it would work, but it just hasn't for me. The tips appreciated sign is, again, a form of begging which I don't like. Not sure...

    Tips

    No problem man, its the reason I posted this topic. I hoped the routine would help people to make more money doing what they do. It works for me. So, try it out and let everyone know what you think of it, and you'll see how much your tips improve. Matt Mello p.s. I would recommend doing this...

    Tips

    Tumbleweed, I used to do something similar. But, I found that I got WAY more tips using the routine I described above. Some people won't see you put the money away and some people might assume it's just money you keep in your pocket. Another thing I used to do was have a bunch of cash in...

    Tips

    Hey guys, I haven't really seen a thread that was devoted to getting tips. If you work in a restaurant venue like I do, then you understand that tips are very important. I was wondering how most of you go about letting people know that you accept tips? I think just saying, "I accept tips", is...

    The deck has to be cut, you cannot memorize the entire pack. But, the other packet IS used for a nice surprise ending which isn't shown on the demo, Its used in a way that gives the illusion that you memorized the whole thing. And no, you can't shuffle the entire deck. You can legitimately...

    I actually have sat there and set this up in front of the spectators. But, I was talking to them for awhile when I was doing it. The actual setup takes about a minute, but once you are set, you can use it over and over as it instantly resets itself at the end of the effect. If you do...

    Sinful, Feel free to wait for more reviews then make your decision. If you own any of my previous mental material then you'll know that I only release things that are practical and working. Everything I've released are things that I have performed and perfected for years...ie...

    First off, I'd like to thank those who have enjoyed this effect. It's a great way to accomplish a classic effect. A couple things you should know about this effect. It doesn't used marked cards, it isn't a memorized stack, there are no printed up crib sheets. There is basically NO WAY to be...

    Books on performing

    You can also check out Derren Brown's Absolute Magic. Great book. Out of Print. I have an extra copy of it. But, it's expensive. Contact me if you'd be interested in buying it. Matt Mello

    I think the barcode thing would be more of a prediction. But yes it could be done. I had thought about trying something with soda caps. You know how some of the caps have numbers printed on the inside of them? The effect would be this. You would be drinking from the soda. You offer to teach the...
