    "Labeling" Effects

    I don' think you need perfect transitions either, but you specifically asked how to work Panic into your et as a middle effect, so that was what I was responding to. Kind of confused that you asked for advice specifically on that issue and now you're saying it doesn't matter?

    "Labeling" Effects

    As a middle effect it would be to end your card set and move into your closer that uses something besides cards. Presentation aside for a moment, Panic is strong, I'm sure, but there are definitely effects that in and of themselves are stronger, and they're probably not going to involve playing...

    Wow. Great list of presenters. I think this might have to be my first Magic Con. :)

    The Signed Coin In Can - a problem & a solution

    Interesting to see you bring this up, Wayne. I came to the same conclusion not too long ago myself. I still prefer to use a quarter with a little "extra force," but in my area it leaves behind a mark on certain cans. And for those I just go with a nickel as you suggested. By the way, I...

    Diplopia by Paul Vigil

    I forgot to add in a big tip for workers. This will only make sense if you own the effect. Whenever I'm working with a dupe in my deck, I always use red ones. Whenever I have a card signed to give away (for ACR for example) I always spread the deck face up and tell them "try to pick a red one...

    Videogames becoming art

    But it will. History dictates the exact opposite of what you suggest is inevitable. It can't "never happen" because historically speaking it "always happens." Every art changes with its times and its revolutionaries. Pushed you to begin what though? Post a thread calling for others to do what...

    I.o.u

    I've been there myself, man. One of the first times I watched myself on video performing for real people I was horrified by this incredibly annoying and awkward laugh I used to have when people reacted to the magic. It was just something I had to become conscious of and work to fix just like I...

    I.o.u

    I like the second part of adding in the additional flash to vanish the coin. I'd say that before the first flash though you need at least once convincer of your hands being empty beforehand. Not crazy about the premise of showing a demonstration of what happened "one time your friend wrote you...

    Angel throws a fit.

    Yes, this (pointless) story is over a year old.

    Couples effects

    Have him pick a card and return it to the deck and then have her select his card. Garrett Thomas, B. Smith, Richard Osterlind, and Peter Cassford have some good work on this. Simple effect but for laymen it's a really powerful moment that really brings people together. Twilight Angels is always...

    Videogames becoming art

    I'm not really sure what you're getting at with this thread. Every art form has a style that defines its time. Painting, music, etc.. That's the way it always is. And it stays that way until someone reinvents it. Then that becomes the dominate style for a time. Magic is no different. It's in a...

    On-the-Spot Coin Bender

    Again, spectators do not see the moment the bend is put in, or see the switch. And again, you do not have to use the handling Sheets demos. Regardless, I'm glad you won't be performing it. The less the better. :) Hope you find something you like though.

    Card Tricks for Restaurants

    That's because those are easy-to-follow, simple premise, quick and commercial effects. As someone already said, the others you mentioned fall more into the "magic for magicians" category. They assume people are interested in what you're doing. Which they aren't (at least not at first). With...

    On-the-Spot Coin Bender

    Then your comment concerning the QB2 made no sense because you compared it to the moment the bend is revealed with the Superman coin bend by saying the "Superman coin bend looks cool... you bend the coin at your fingertips just like superman would." If you were referring to the moment the bend...

    Which hand is the object in?

    The product itself I'd give a 10. Difficulty depends on what you're going for though. He teaches a full-proof method which is very easy to do technically, and he teaches some psychological ways to really read tells (more difficult). If you can get reading the tells down you can repeat the effect...

    Biokinesis

    Every laymen knows it's contact lenses but with a good presentation it would slay an audience? Seems your second statement contradicts your first. I have no doubt this could really spook someone out if used correctly. I think most performers, though, would not be able to control themselves from...

    Food magic

    Too bad Dan Hauss's bitten and restored apple effect, Forbidden, isn't on the market anymore. That was a great effect.

    Which hand is the object in?

    Check out Prevaricator by Patrick Redford. He does it as a multi-phased routine, and teaches some great kickers too, like a word revelation, serial number divination with a bill, prediction, etc. Fantastic routine. I use it all the time. Hope that helps. :)
