    Asking too much...?

    I believe it depends on the motives. If I had been taking an idle bath one day, and suddenly jumped up and shouted 'Eurika!' (consequently sloshing bathwater over everything nearby) because I had just thought of an effect I would like to be able to perform, asking for help is perfectly...

    Anything close to Stigmata...?

    If you wanted to, you could always just write a prediction on your arm. I've done this before now. And then there's Tagged by Richard Fergusson, in which you write on a spectator's body.

    MTL control by Mystery Mark

    We're magicians, we fool people. I don't really make the card jump from one pile to the other magically ;) And when I said 'go learn from it', I wasn't talking about going out and buying his dvds and studying his material. I was referring to the experience, that many people can be completely...

    MTL control by Mystery Mark

    You don't trust him, because he might use duplicates?!? Does that mean that he isn't a proper magician, because it's not pure sleight of hand, or entirely impromptu? Hell, out of the four card tricks I do with any degree of regularity, two of them use duplicates. Does that mean I'm not a proper...

    Coin Under Watch

    I just wanted to add to this that I have never purchased any material on the coin under watch, I have merely watched (haha, see what I did there?...yes...no...gah, never mind) a couple of videos of people performing it, tried it on a watch on my magician friend's arm a few times then went and...

    Naturalness vs. Visualness

    Naturalness. If you do something that they pay attention to, it is a link in the chain if events that can be reconstructed. If, however, they see the move but don't believe it to be of import, the chain is broken. If you don't draw attention to the transferal of a coin, nobody will remember it...

    Routines - A deeper look...

    I wouldn't say that the biddle trick is a fast trick. You've got three effects in one there, and if it's fast the effect is totally lost on the audience. I'd say it's one of the longer tricks. Sorry, just had to throw that in there :p

    Nyuck...Nyuck...YUCK!

    I have used impromptu stooges once or twice before. However I did it for big groups, sat round tables. I held the deck above the head of the guy at the head of the table, so that everyone could see the bottom card, and then got him to pick someone that he would 'mentally send his card' to. I...

    Is this wrong?

    Hmm, maybe I should revisit that podcast :rolleyes: Still, when I do the pass, my right hand does most of the work. That's what works for me, and therefore that's what I do. Hmm, well as I said, I was merely offering a suggestion as to why the handling of a deck is the way it is. I wasn't...

    In Which Order

    Well guys, how about this? Seeing as different people have different opinions as to the strength of these two tricks, why doesn't somebody actually try performing this set? Think up some patter and actually test it on real people. Seems like a good way to find out whether it works or not to me...

    Is this wrong?

    Aaron Fisher posted an article, or a podcast (I forget which) on the classic pass a while ago, in which he said that the base hand merely supports the deck, whereas the top hand does all the work. After trying it as such, my pass got notably better. And yes, whilst the audience shouldn't...

    Life On The Street: A Buskers Blog

    I would have loved to take you up on this, but I'm going through exams at school at the moment, and the weather is appalling (snow and ice everywhere). Also, I've tried to get a busking license in my area before, and they weren't particularly happy about it (actually, they were downright...

    Is this wrong?

    Actually, if you're doing a pass correctly, the top hand should be doing most of the work. And also, whilst it's true that the base hand does most of the work most of the time, this is a good reason to hold the deck with your weaker hand. Surely, as a magician, the base hand shouldn't be doing...

    In Which Order

    I'm with Morgician on this. I believe that performing one effect followed immediately by the same thing on a larger scale undermines the original effect. The audience will be left with a feeling of 'why waste my time showing me the one card change/vanish/whatever?' All the magic of the first...

    Funny Coin Story

    Yes, but if you were the teacher, would this have made you happy? The fact that you were clearly disrespecting her isn't the best way to go. And am I to assume that this is the same teacher you have complained of confiscating cards and the suchlike off you before. If so, then it's not an...

    Furthering the Art of Magic...

    Whilst this is true, a bigger stone is going to cause a bigger ripple. It's very rare that you're going to get a teacher that hasn't gone through school and passed the exams themselves first. So surely, by getting experience, practice and general magic knowledge, your chances of actually...
