    Do You Take Care Of Your Image?

    I actually dont think anyone would care. When i lived in the states for a few months i used to see Hugh Jackman walking around almost everyday as well as a bunch of other actors and singers and other people and most of the looked like **** most of the time when they were not doing anything...

    How not to ask for a favor...

    After reading this thread i realised one thing, magicians have become to spoiled. Having someone like Jason England on the forum which is always very nice and helpfull when it comes to answering questions is like having Neil Peart from rush on a forum for drummers or Stephen King on a forum...

    Does anyone ever feel they spend too much $ on magic?

    Yeah Mr.Ortiz is amazing.:) I used to spend way to much money on magic before i read Designing Miracles by Darwin Ortiz. I dont remember exactly what he is saying there but he says something about how most magicians are always looking for the perfect effect and what a waste of time and money...

    Does anyone ever feel they spend too much $ on magic?

    Its easy to get caught up in this kind of habbit. You see a product and think, "Oh this looks so good! Just imagine how good this will make my show" then when you get it you find out that it was pretty awsome, but not as awsome that you first thought so you start to look for the next product...

    How do you practice?

    Hello everyone! Im going through a phase with a lot of practicing of sleights and routines and doing some fine tuning and refinements. I would like to hear, how do you practice? I was reading through Michael Close book Closley guarded secrets and his advice if you want to become really...

    Strike vs get ready DL

    Agreed, the last one looked much more loose and relaxed. Please dont take this the wrong way because your strike Dls were good, but thats just the nature of them. To me, DLs with a break just looks much more loose relaxed and natural. If someone disagrees i would like to hear your thoughts...

    Strike vs get ready DL

    Dont take it the wrong way, thats how all strike DLs looks. Naturally it will have a pause since you have to pick up the cards vs when you have a break and you can just flip it over.

    Strike vs get ready DL

    Thats what im talking about, when the hand contacts the deck it has this smal "pause" when the picking up of the cards are done and there is some tension in that kind of move. If there is a break you just flip the card over.

    Strike vs get ready DL

    A strike or "hit" double lift is where you dont have a break and as you go in you get your two cards and turn them over as one.

    Strike vs get ready DL

    Almost every magician seems to love the Strike or hit style double lifts and most magicians seems to think that it is the way to go in terms of double lifts. After hearing other magicians rave about it for years i decided to learn some strike doubles so i picked up a few sources. After...

    Negativity towards The Pinky count.

    I can agree that it can be a little harder to cover when you have to count many cards because it takes some more strength, but its not hard if you just drop your hand to the side. And how many times do you need to get a break under 10 cards or more? Not that many. Most of the times its...

    Chad Nelson's Classic / Riffle Pass

    I dont know about that. Kens pass is fantastic as is Jason Englands as you can see here on theory11 but they are both very hard to do and we have to keep in mind that it took them 20 - 30 years to get them to look that good. Chads pass is very "Doable" but i agree that they both are better...

    Negativity towards The Pinky count.

    I have always stayed away from The Pinky count until a few weeks ago when they released Jason Englands 1 on 1 on the pinky count. The reason is quit a few well respected magicians have said quit a few negative things about it. Like its "very hard" and "very hard to performe and to cover"...

    I've lost the true value of performing.

    Please go and buy Darwin Ortiz book designing miracles, he has a chapter on this that will point you in the right direction and help you see the problem clearly. Remember that lay people are not trained in sleight of hand so if you do the classic pass or the Super underground master secret...

    Invisible Turnover pass the same as Hermann?

    From what i can remember Darwin Ortiz has some great work on this move called The Ortiz shift, worth to look into if you like the move.

    Your magic plans for the summer?

    So i guess for most people schools out for a few weeks/months and the summer is here which means more free time to spend on your magic. Do you have any plans for your magic for the summer? Books to study, moves to practice? Places to performe? Whats your plan and goals in magic for the summer?

    Pity Magic Isn't as Easy as Music

    If i think that art is when two farts collide, who are you to say im wrong?

    Who should we emulate, exactly?

    From reading throgh the thread i dont think anyone said that all magicians are dated. I dont know i would use the word dated, instead i would say that magic has become very unexciting.
