    Rob Bauer's TTT?

    It's actually Ron Bauer and I think you could find the manuscript for it on elmwood magic or a few other websites.

    forcing card applications ?

    Paul Green has a DVD entirely on The Classic Force. Also a bit of advice. When they/if they pick the forced card.. You NEED to act like they either picked a random card or the wrong card. (This was advice from David Williamson.)

    Where can I find this?

    Looks like a classic stage effect that's been around for years.

    problem with no solution!

    Find a new audience, preferably people that don't go to your school or won't see you ever again. This pretty much fixes the problem 100%. You do a routine/effect for somebody sitting at the park, then move on with your day. They move on with theirs as well. win/win situation (plus you still get...

    David Blaine Real or Magic Discussion.

    The cards across bit is an old Tamariz and even older ploy. Really, if you think about it. You'll start to figure it out.

    Need Advice on Attracting a Crowd/Busking

    Sounds like a bad idea for a restaurant performer because in MOST of them you don't want to get in their way. Which is why most restaurant performers go from table to table. If I were you, I would busk at some other place. Like a park or a shopping center.

    Advice needed on social anxiety.

    Depends on how bad you have it. Usually it's going to be something that you're going to have to live with and just take baby steps to over come. But if it's a really big problem than I'd suggest you try to speak to a therapist or doctor about it and work out a way to over slowly over come it.

    want a good gimmick ?

    I will say this. VAPR does look interesting. Though I am awaiting seeing videos of people and some other magicians over use the crap out of it. "Look I vanished your coin and a puff of smoke appeared. IT'S MAGICAL.." etc etc.

    want a good gimmick ?

    Which is why I suggested something simple. IE: an odd backed card or a db backer/face card. Easy to ring in and easy to ring out, also they have lasted the tests of time. I could sit here all day naming some of the Legends who have used said gimmicks all day but it would most likely fall of deaf...

    want a good gimmick ?

    To be fair, I don't really see the point of all these "smoke" gimmicks. Sure you can do a "mysterious" color changing deck with them, but other than that people are smart and will come to conclusion that you had some device shoot puffs of smoke. As for a gimmick.. It really depends on exactly...

    Searching for a mentor

    I was more going with the fact that somebody can offer better advice when they've actually done this for a living, rather than a guy who said he read about this or that in a book. like for example how you've actually MET some of the "top" guys in person and spoken to them (had first hand...

    Tricks that would be appropriate for a grand stage

    Bad idea, very bad idea. You ever see those auditions on X-Factor or that other singing show that alludes me at this moment. You ever wonder why a good half of those people end up looking like complete fools on live TV in front of MILLIONS if not more people? Because they listened to their...

    Searching for a mentor

    I am going to say this. You need to be very very selective of who you listen to. Just because some local guy says he's been doing magic for years and wants to take you under his wing. Doesn't mean he actually knows what he is doing. Now for Example if you meet somebody who says they were an...

    Learn to fly under the radar.

    One other point I forgot to mention is the idea of giving spectators check marks in their mind. Rather than when you have them shuffle cards and going "You shuffled." "You did this and that". Instead stop them in the middle of shuffle and act like they might have prevented you from continuing...

    Learn to fly under the radar.

    I was recently watching David Williamson's Penguin lecture and he mentions that the best way to impress laymen and magicians is to simply fly under the radar. He gave a really good example of how when Bill Malone moved to Florida after spending years under the wings of Ed Marlo. He would go to...

    Restaurant gig Help?

    If they already have live music, then why would they want to hire another entertainer? Seems kind of redundant to me. You want to check out places that DON'T have entertainment already.

    Pitching for tips?

    Typically you don't perform for tips when you are at an actual gig. Simply due to the fact that you already got paid to perform. Though working at a restaurant can be something else and this whole topic has way too many sides of the argument. So all I would suggest is that you decide for...

    Gaff System

    How long ago did he mention leaving E and going to Murphy's Magic? If I am going to assume anything, I'll probably take a guess that they this on the shelf for a few months to a year.

    Gaff System

    If the new trailer shows more of the actual effects with the gaffs then I may check them out (though this won't happen till a year or so later, Just a personal thing.) and less of the "We are so awesome, let's pat ourselves on the back." type of trailer. (which is what I agree with Craig on. It...

    Gaff System

    I'm saying that not everybody buys artifice cards. While, I understand that their target market are teenagers who constantly buy all the new custom decks and not people who simply buy their decks at Costco or decks that look normal. I am just stating that if they are made only for the specific...
