    Beginner (or rather re-beginner question)

    You're right. They are exactly the same move. I suppose that Hugard and Braue wanted to emphasise the double use for the technique. Either that or they had a bit of an off-day when editing that section.

    New in magic

    What country in Europe are you from? Royal Road is available from any magic dealer, from general online booksellers like Amazon, from Lybrary.com as a basic PDF or from ConjuringArts.org as a nicer-looking PDF. Card College is, again, available from any magic dealer, from Amazon, or as a PDF...

    New in magic

    Royal Road has been the standard beginner text for about half a century, and you won't find many decent card workers who haven't studied it to some extent. And, as magic books go, it's pretty inexpensive, so there's no reason not to pick it up. There's another contender for best beginner text...

    Help with card swapping

    It's certainly possible to achieve this. If you're working from a table, look into hand mucking techniques, which is a category of moves used by card cheaters to switch cards in play. Tony Giorgio has a lot of work on this area on his Ultimate Work DVDs, as does Richard Turner on his...

    Similar books or dvd's

    What you're looking for is sometimes called "bizarre magic", but you may also want to look into the concept of "Urban Shamanism" which a few people on this forum might be able to discuss with you if you're interested in investigating further. I would like to point out, though, that even simple...

    Best DVD

    Not that I know of. However, if you were willing to risk the murky depths of the arcane art of reading, then you could get the Tarbell course (now available as a PDF from Conjuring Arts) and be set for life.

    Tips on one coin routines?

    This is great advice. I would also add, can you tell us the story of your routine? Is that story dramatically interesting or is it just, "Once upon a time there was a coin which disappeared and then appeared again. And then did that again a few times. The End."

    Pass

    Hoffman? Do you mean Herrmann or Hofzinser...or is there a Hoffman pass that I don't know about? EDIT: Just did some Googling and found a couple of references to the Hoffman pass. It seems that Brad Christian misnamed the Herrmann pass on his Ninja 1 DVD. EDIT 2: After more research, it turns...

    Hello Everyone. New blog in the mix.

    I think you would have got a better response if you had pitched this blog differently. You said: "So, what I set out to do, is create a blog to answer all the worthy questions some magicians must have." That sounds as if you already have all the answers. Instead, you could have said: "So...

    Feeling Discouraged-Need Advice

    Just to be clear, I'm not saying that you shouldn't ask for help. I'm just suggesting how you could make those requests for help more effective. Imagine it from the other point of view. If someone was asking you for help, what attributes would they need to display in order to encourage you to...

    Feeling Discouraged-Need Advice

    Yes it is fair. And, in my opinion, asking that question reveals the exact reason why you're not getting the help you want. You seem to feel as if you somehow have a right to other people's time and expertise. You don't. If anyone helps you then that's above and beyond the call of duty and...

    Feeling Discouraged-Need Advice

    Honest and constructive feedback is incredibly difficult to come by in any creative pursuit. You're asking people (generally strangers) to do you a favour for which you won't necessarily be grateful. If someone criticizes your work, they don't know how you're going to react, so it's much easier...

    Performing in the UK ?

    You don't need any specific performance licence or anything like that, but you will need to be registered either as a company or as self-employed (possibly both, depending on how you structure your business) for tax purposes. Does that answer your question?

    Performing in the UK ?

    What sort of context do you want to perform in (on the street, in restaurants, in comedy clubs, etc.)?

    Books...

    If you're on top of all the material in the books you already own, I'd recommend getting into some Vernon material (Stars of Magic, Early Vernon, Select Secrets, Inner Card Trilogy, Ultimate Secrets of Card Magic, etc.).

    Pass

    It's hard to go into specifics without seeing your pass but here are a few common issues: 1. Don't try and go fast until you've done a few thousand reps of your pass and it feels like a single smooth and natural movement, not two jerky movements. 2. Remember you're not trying to fool yourself...

    Question about sleights ?

    Get Card College Volume 1, The Royal Road to Card Magic and/or Born to Perform Card Magic. Any one of those will set you on the right path.

    The best pass?

    Really, when you get down to it, provided you learn your technique from a relatively competent source, it doesn't matter what book, download or DVD you choose. What makes a difference is how much, and how intelligently, you practise. If it's a choice between spending half an hour reading forum...
