    Too Much, Just Right, or Not Enough?

    Anything that has no or little reset! For walk-around you don't want to have too much of a set-up between groups, and you don't want to have pockets full of gaffs to sort through. Harry Lorayne's "Close-Up Card Magic" is a full book of effects done with a regular deck of cards! There are...

    First Birthday Gig!

    Ah, jrobarts. The Vanishing Bandanna is the effect that uses a BANANA! Haha, it's chock full of funny moments and great for laughter. Good thought on the arm trick as a closer, I like to use it as "Before I do any Magic, I need to fully stretch. Here, you guys can do the stretch with me"...

    First Birthday Gig!

    Hey guys, I got called on Sunday and asked if I would do some magic for a birthday party (I've been passing out business cards every chance I get.) So, I'll be doing a 20-25 minute show, and balloon animals. The range of ages are 2 - 11 with a couple of teenagers and the parents. So...

    Paperclipped - Weighing My Options

    I'd say don't perform anything for them for a while. It's easy to burn through a lot of material fast working with the same audience. Make them want it, and your reactions will improve ten-fold. That's just my two-cents :)

    Blind Practice Session - Constructive Comments Welcomed!

    Hey Josh, I really like your stuff. On your shuffle, push the cards perfectly flush until the last millisecond, then do the move. This will make it look 100% smoother and clean. Watch the preview of Jason's Push-Through :)

    4-5 min. stage performance

    Tarbell's Cards Across with Envelopes is a killer, and can be done on stage with a lot of interaction. Juan does a Cards Across that he showed at Magic*Con that KILLED!! Which is simple, and mostly presentation. Rising Cards. Just to let you know, John Carney does a one cup routine with a...

    Contracts?

    Dan Harlan has a nice packet on Scripting, Routine, and business in which he goes over a LOT of stuff in only about 10 pages. He has his contract in there along with his tips on how you should advertise yourself. It's really an amazing packet, it's called "More than Magic" by Dan Harlan. You...

    Jason England's Bottom Deal Demo

    He shows all the cards in a ribbon spread, you see no aces in the cards. So, it would be easier to put them on the bottom un-noticed that putting them on the top, yes? So, they're all bottom deals.

    What are your top magic effects? MIRACLES

    Meh, I recall buying a 'magic kit' for 50 cents to challenge my presention skillz. A lot of it was just stupid, but it had a two card monte that I could do something with, and it fooled some people. I'm not saying that was 'strong' magic, just a little story. A good, well thought out Ambitious...

    What are your top magic effects? MIRACLES

    All magic is strong magic, if performed correctly.

    Are these books the original ones?

    Why would you get Card Control? It's a lot of advanced stuff not really suitable for the beginner. I would switch it out for "Close-Up Card Magic" by Harry Lorayne. AMAZING book, and all of the stuff can be done with a spectators shuffled borrowed deck. You've got a lot of material there. Have...

    Making fun of a volunteer to get a laugh. Worth It?

    I agree on both sides of the spectrum, but you can't be overly harsh on a spectator just to get a laugh. Take a look at Gazzo. He makes fun of spectators in a hardcore way, and gets huge audience reaction. BUT, he tells of a time that a biker decided he didn't like getting made fun of and threw...

    t11.bulletin - Cannibal Cards by Michael Hankins

    Mehar, This isn't the place for dissecting or analyzing an effect. I find it rather disrespectful that you would post your theories/ideas on how the effect is accomplished in the same same thread that is announcing the new effect! I suggest you edit your post.

    Where should I start with mentalism?

    If you're spectators are getting bored with the 'Pick a card, lose it, find it routine" then you're performing for the same spectators way too much, or you haven't found great card material. I'd pick up Harry Loryane's "Up-Close Card Magic" and study that. As for mentalism, it's not really my...

    Strong Magic, Or Seriously Silly?

    Strong Magic is AMAZING. HOWEVER! If you're planning on doing a lot of children work, Seriously Silly is a must have. It is really an amazing book, and I know all of these guys are recommending Strong Magic because they've read it and appreciated it. I've read and appreciated both books, and...
