    Presentation Lectures

    Check John Lovick and Whit Haydn's Penguin Lectures. They have some great insight into acting and presentation.

    Cups and Balls--Cups Penetration

    It can look absolutely terrible, but if you practise until you get the timing perfect and you don't make a big deal of it, almost performing it on an offbeat, it can work great. Just do it and move on before the audience get a chance to reconstruct it in their minds, and it becomes a startling...

    From Card Sharp to Magician?

    In the cases of both John Scarne and Daniel Madison, I think we might want to consider the possibility that they've taken some quantity of artistic licence with their claims!

    From Card Sharp to Magician?

    Off the top of my head I can think of Tony Giorgio and Gazzo. I imagine there are many more, though.

    'The Pass': the weird and difficult variants

    No. There are several. Of course there's the Charlier Pass, but in nineteenth-century books like Sachs' Sleight of Hand, Hoffman's Modern Magic or Robert-Houdin's Secrets of Conjuring and Magic you'll find several alternative one-hand shifts. If you go through old magazines like the Sphinx and...

    Are you sure? I don't think it is. It's taught on Dan & Dave's The System DVD.

    'The Pass': the weird and difficult variants

    Yes I do. Some good resources for pass variants are: 1. The Expert at the Card Table by S W Erdnase 2. Expert Card Technique by Jean Hugard & Frederick Braue 3. Magic Without Apparatus by Camille Gaultier 4. The Amateur Magician's Handbook by Henry Hay 5. Modern Magic by Professor Hoffman 6...

    Cardistry music

    Take some time to have a look round Soundcloud. Find a few up-and-coming artists that are making music that you like and are releasing it for free on there. Message them and tell them that you like their music and you're going to download it and use it as the soundtrack to a cardistry video...

    New Website Help (I need the community)

    At the moment, I don't really think you've given us enough information to judge. However, here are my thoughts from what you've said. At the moment, Kardistry.com is the goto place for cardistry tutorials. If you're going to post tutorials as well then your site needs to be different from, or...

    Dubstep for manipulation?

    I'm not sure what you mean by "accepted", so sorry if these don't fit your criteria, but you could try Mala & Coki (either individually, or together as Digital Mystiks), Loefah or Von D. If these are too chilled for your liking, then maybe you could try Dead Exit or Benga.

    I have a fear I need to get over

    Structure your routine in such a way that you throw suspicion onto something else other than the prop, and in such a way that they admit that they don't suspect the prop. Using the Invisible Deck as an example, you could say something like, "So the card you named was freely chosen, you didn't...

    double turnover, last ditch effort

    Your problem is that you're gripping the cards too tightly, then. Your right thumb should barely be touching the card. In fact, you could get away without using the thumb at all, just using your index finger and gravity to turn the card over.

    double turnover, last ditch effort

    I understand your concern, and I certainly agree that exposure should be discouraged. In this, case, though, I don't think this qualifies as harmful exposure. In my opinion, any non-magician reading this thread won't be any more able to reconstruct a magic trick than they would just from hearing...

    double turnover, last ditch effort

    1. Drag the double to the side. 2. Tilt the left side of the deck downwards until the double and the deck are forming a V shape, with the point of the V where the deck meets your fingers. 3. Lift your right thumb away from the double. 4. Use your index finger to flip the double onto the top of...

    Fake tv magic: Angel or demon ?

    Definitely agree when it comes to people like Criss Angel who already have their TV show, money and fans. However, I reckon that if young magicians making YouTube videos could display some sort of certification which declares that their performances meet certain standards then that could very...

    Fake tv magic: Angel or demon ?

    The same reason that people feel obliged to avoid exposure. If enough magicians got behind the idea, and maybe even created some sort of certification system, then, over time, the community of magicians would shift their practices in the right direction. Of course, there would always be "Masked...

    Fake tv magic: Angel or demon ?

    Maybe it's about time that those of us who want magic to be held to higher standards created something akin to the "Dogme 95" rules for film-making. In other words, a clear, unambiguous checklist, adherence to which could become a gold standard for performing magic for a camera. Off the top of...

    Sleight of hand excercises

    Yes I did read it. You said: So, I took that to mean that you think the same as BlindDeception. Regarding books, he said "I personally hate them", so I inferred that you also are claiming to "hate them". I took "I don't like learning from books" as meaning that you dislike books as "dislike"...

    New Website Design

    Overall, the design is relatively clean and clear, and I really like the choice of image on the landing page, but I do have some suggestions for improvement. 1. You're trying to sell yourself, so you need to make it as easy as possible for your clients to book you. Therefore, I would make the...
