    Do you have another hobby?

    Watching films and making films. That's about it really. Apart from the magic i mean.

    Reverse Engineering... Another Crazy Thought

    But you're giving the creator the money to be able to perform his "idea". That's the morality in question, not the fact that you don't need to pay because you are aware of the methods taught. You are paying out of respect for the work the artists has put into creating an...

    Ambitious Card - 'what sleights do you use?'

    Well maybe you've gotten that because you didn't misdirect properly, or your sleights weren't up to scratch. Even the most brilliant magicians can be fooled with their own creations. It's not about encountering extremely clever spectators or even those that are aware of certain magical...

    Ambitious Card - 'what sleights do you use?'

    Not a single person i've ever performed for knew what a double lift was...and of course its a method, what else is it? It's not automatic. The DL is not obvious since so many people are fooled by it. Plus you could always use Kostya Kimlat's Undercover Switch for a fairer handling of an ACR...

    Family Ties

    My step-dad and aunt are always happy to be mystified. They're about the only people but why is it so important? I feel performing for strangers is much more fulfilling and test me out as a performer much more.

    Misdirection DVDs?

    John Carney's Video of Secrets contains routines and in depth information on the misdirection used. That's about the only dvd/video i can think of. Books are the real gold for psychology in magic. Card College Vol 2 has plenty of presentational aspects. The Ascanio book mentioned. And of course...

    Triple Thought Revelation

    Ambitious Card - 'what sleights do you use?'

    But they miss the moment! That's my point! With a dl, one of the important pictures you place in the spectator's mind is the image of their card being inserted into the deck and without any movements or time lapses, arriving back at the top. Not - card goes in middle, i was asked a question...

    Must have DVD card magic ?

    Lennart Green's Green Magic set, Zenneth Kok's The Zenneth Code, maybe Oz Pearlman's stuff.

    Ambitious Card - 'what sleights do you use?'

    Why not just combine different techniques rather than relying solely on one? If your pass is even slightly off or detected, would you use other techniques or do a different trick? Plus your actions should dictate everything you do and make it natural. You turn the card over onto the deck to...

    How to Project?

    If there's a group of people, talk to the person furtherest (is that a word? get out of my head!) away from you and make sure they hear you. If they do, the rest do as well. From David Stone's DVD.

    A little help...

    Rope, rope, rope! Sanders or Stone if you have either of those. Card trick that play large, like boomeranging cards in the air, or a fireworks multi-selection routine. Check out Ricky Jay's routine on YT. Simple mentalist stuff perhaps.

    Fun Night = Live Performances = Video

    A bit much of the talking but the performances were great, both for our viewing pleasure and your own magical development. Thanks for that.

    Think Back...

    I think with me, it had a lot to do with gambling and the way it has been portrayed in our society. There have always been many films, books and characters that glamorised the idea of cheating with cards. Now it is interesting that most of what i remember seeing wasn't really magic, it was more...

    "Granted"

    To be fair, if Michael Ammar gave ME a deck of Bikes, i would have to enroll myself into a mental institution after suffering a breakdown.

    Hospital Magic :: Help!

    Sanders' Fiber Optics should play well for any number of people methinks. Card stuff like Chicago Opener and Oil/Waters are always great. Plus a bit of coinage.

    Face Up Forcing

    Right, sorry for being unclear. Basically i wanted to force a face up card but without me actually seeing what the card is. If that makes sense. I think i've worked out a way now so don't worry too much. Thanks for the help

    Face Up Forcing

    Just a quick question. Let's assume I have a four of a kind face up with four face down cards interweaving each one. If they are the four kings for example, it would like something like: KrKrKrKr. r for Random/Indifferent card. Now what i want to do is force one of the face up cards...
