    Weekly Magic Failure?

    I sometimes think that we treat magic as if it's some fragile heirloom which could fall apart if we look at it the wrong way. As a craft and artform it's survived for thousands of years, weathering superstitious fears, religious persecution, systematic exposure, public apathy, terrible...

    Double lift help

    Except for two of them. And on the non-book list, I'd like to add in Greg Wilson's Double Take. Not only one of the best resources for the double lift, but some very good tricks taught too.

    Handling spoilers?

    I'm not sure if that's true. As performers, we get to decide what our audiences will be like. Working different audiences, different rooms and different demographics is a skill you can practice and learn. If you don't take the time to properly gauge who your audience are and mould them into what...

    New Control/Shift Maybe?

    It looks like it could be similar to the Ovette Master Move (also known as the Kelly Bottom Placement). Are you familiar with that move?

    S.W.E shift issue

    If your problem is speed, then that will come with time and lots of practice. How long have you been working on the move? There might be one point you're missing, though. The SWE Shift, as with all of Erdnase's shifts, is executed and made quicker by opposing pressure of the packets being...

    When your Classic Force fails

    There are two parts to my preferred solution to this problem: 1. Execute the classic force so many times that you never miss. Sure, you'll miss a few at the beginning, but the more you try it, the quicker you'll get those misses out of the way. 2. Don't care whether you hit the force or not...

    S.W.E shift issue

    I might be able to help, but I'm not quite clear what your issue is. Can you explain a bit more or, perhaps, post a video?

    Presentation for Deluxe Nest of Wallets

    You mention "logic" a couple of times in your post. Now, when we're trying to make a connection with someone, often logic isn't the most important thing. You can't persuade someone to fall in love with you, or to trust you, or to enjoy spending time with you through logic. Similarly, when you're...

    How to create a stage show?

    You're slightly misunderstanding the point about Dunninger. While Derren Brown might not claim to have supernatural powers (whatever the hell "supernatural" means!), he does imply that he is "real", i.e that he is using a genuine set of skills to achieve the effect of mind reading and mind...

    3 quick questions I would love to have answered

    1. Go back to your fundamentals. Card College, Royal Road, Oz Pearlman's Born to Perform Card Magic, any of the basic sources really. 2. I treat it as if they've said, "That's amazing!" because that's usually what they mean. People know that you're supposed to laugh at comedy, be scared by...

    Recommended card effects?

    I know this isn't the kind of answer you're looking for, but the real truth is the techniques described in books or on DVDs are only a tiny percentage of what makes magic effects powerful. So, the answer is, yes, a colour change is an acceptable effect to perform if you perform it in an...

    S-fans

    Yes, pretty much any basic flourishing or classic card manipulation resource. Off the top of my head, Capaso Casino teaches it on Back to Basics Volume 1, Jeff McBride teaches it on The Art of Card Manipulation Volume 1, Jeff Sheridan teaches it on his manipulation DVDs and Jerry Cestkowski...

    Does The Wire pay off?

    This is how I would calculate it: First off, I'd be fairly confident I could make 3 sales right off the bat to people who want to put the video on a torrent site, or who are just curious. You could increase this to about 10 with a high-quality, memorable and intriguing trailer which represents...

    It's in Art of Astonishment Volume 1. Or Jeff McBride teaches it on The Art of Card Manipulation Volume 3 DVD.

    Where to find a pack of all one card value/suit?

    Yes. A one-way forcing deck is literally a standard deck except every card is the same. You can also buy two-way and four-way forcing decks and probably other combinations too.

    Here's a good two trick routine or combo.

    It would be really useful is if you gave a bit more explanation as to why you think this. What sort of presentation do you use to link these tricks together? What is it about them that makes them work so well together?

    Magic that looks like real magic?

    You're right, making coins go from one hand to another is pointless, but that's just the effect of coins across, it's not necessarily how it should be presented. How about this, for example: "I'll tell you who I find fascinating, probably even more fascinating than magicians. I'll tell you who...

    I'm fascinated by this post. If you find the time to answer some questions for me, feel free to PM me the answers so we don't derail the thread, or you can post them here (or in a new thread) if you prefer to open them up for discussion What do you mean by "mentalism as mentalism"? What do...
