    Trilogy or Be Kind Change

    While you never explicitly stated you were a beginner, you DID say this: That statement, also happening to be your first post, made me assume that you were. Of course, I apologize for the (careless) assumption. Either way, I still stand by the previous comment (minus any possible...

    Card spinning on Deck

    It's the Padiddle move, from Jerry Cestkowski's Encyclopedia of Playing Card Flourishes.

    Trilogy or Be Kind Change

    Skip them both. Neither are of any usefulness to a beginner such as yourself. Go read Card College 1 or Royal Road to Card Magic.

    Cannibal :: Complete Review

    DVD's more expensive because you have to pay for the physical materials, such as the box, the actual DVD, and the artwork of the case that comes with the box.

    Gambling Demo's.

    Adding to the list, Road Hustler was a great read about the psychology of grifters - might be of some interest to you. Paul Wilson, I believe, has a gambling demo somewhere on YouTube that was somewhat interesting to watch. He and Darwin Ortiz have nice ones, I'd suggest finding videos of them...

    Saturday Night Contest - Traditional Card Lotto!

    Beat you to it. But somebody beat us both to the punch. Wish there'd be another SNC that requires some sort of skill or work without a guessing game feel to it.

    Saturday Night Contest - Traditional Card Lotto!

    Queen of Hearts.

    Help Us Stop Magic Piracy

    And why do you suppose things like murder and rape are illegal? Your phrasing has only supported JButterfield's argument further.

    Help Us Stop Magic Piracy

    What's funny is that you quoted him, thereby posting the link AGAIN. And the site's been around a long time, from what I hear. Although I'm sure JB and countless others have tried talking to those guys.

    first dvd for cardistry

    A couple of points I want to make: It's the journey, not the destination. A quick search through the threads on the Cardistry section will prove their are hundreds asking the same question. Get Genesis v1. On the subject of stealing flourishes... OMG Andrei revealed De'vo's methods of...

    Dealing with Skeptics.

    Yeah. It's one thing to be funny occasionally with your friends, another to be comedic in front of a crowd. But it's a place to start, and that'll work. Thanks for the help, RDChopper.

    Dealing with Skeptics.

    This made my day. Steerpike (or anyone else, for that matter), could you please list any recommendations for books on comedy to start with? I know experience is the best teacher, but surely there must be books that'll help at the onset.

    Help with the Diagonal Palm Shift (EATCT)

    Not quite. It is the first publication of the DPS that most people use, however, I would never go as far as saying that the written explanation in there is the best. I, personally, don't see a correlation between the bottom palm and DPS in terms of learning one first, as far as mechanics...

    Help with the Diagonal Palm Shift (EATCT)

    Fair enough, I had trouble for a bit at first too. I was merely weary based on what I saw of his palming. To the OP, here's one tip you should remember when you're in the beginning stages of doing the DPS: The hand providing shade (the one that's also actually holding onto the deck) should...

    Dealing with Skeptics.

    This seems counter-intuitive to my experiences, but I guess that's possible. Any heckler problems I've had are with "alpha males" who like to feel "in control" of the situation at all times (even amongst their male peers). But then again, I only regularly see one other magician these days, so...

    Top Change

    It's funny you mention this, I recently listened to this as well as their discussion on the pass. It was amazingly simple to follow, although it was a bit tiring at times. As a side-note, the Musgrave and Erickson talks are very enlightening. Worthwhile discussions for any serious student of...

    Good Recommendations for Sandwich Tricks

    As one will soon discover in their quest for finding sandwich tricks, the majority of them all have 2-3 different types of loads at most. That being said, you're probably best off with a good presentation and a basic load with the top card being the selection (controlled via your method of...

    Help with the Diagonal Palm Shift (EATCT)

    A quick note on John Carney: While John Carney is a great performer with nicely structured effects, his palming SUCKS. I found a couple of videos of him palming (I think it was dan and dave who have clips of them all in their on-demand section) and he flashed on EVERY ONE. I HIGHLY...

    Draven Reviews: Death Toll by Bruce Ballon

    Just my $0.02: I never take anybody seriously as a young performer if they're doing something "spooky" or "mysterious". It kind of kills it because it never goes with their image.
