    Favorite Magician

    If we're not just talking about living magicians, how about the greatest Canadian magician of them all, Dai Vernon.

    GoPro

    I might be wrong, but I thought the OP was asking about a "kit" for video production, rather than the magic itself? Am I right Hanleysmagic?

    Best way to practice magic?

    The limit is really however much or little you want to do. Don't beat yourself up if you don't find much time to practice one day, and don't worry if you become so engrossed that you pull an all-nighter every now and then. Worrying about how much or little you're practicing turns it into work...

    Best way to practice magic?

    I could write a whole book on this. In fact I might at some point. Let me give you some bare-bones bullet points for now, though. 1. Decide on your goals. Be specific and write each goal down in one sentence. If you can't write them in one sentence then you haven't got the goal clear in your...

    Where can I learn some Psychological forces?

    I'm afraid this isn't really true, Isaac, apart from the fact that things aren't quite as instant as they appear on TV. Just as a matter of my own interest, though, I'd love to know why you think that NLP is involved. So Isaac, where did you get this information from? Did you read it somewhere...

    Card Shot

    That's not how Private works on YouTube. You'll want to make it Unlisted instead.

    How to improve Single Card Straddle Pass? Advices?

    It's fine, it's serviceable, and it would get the job done. If you're looking for perfection, however, there are a couple of points that could be improved. There is visible tension in your hands, especially your right hand. Also, the left thumb lying on the top of the deck is a dead giveaway...

    Hit the Road

    I'd recommend watching the whole DVD because there's some other good stuff on it. If, however, your time is too valuable, specifically more valuable than $12, then use that quantity of money to purchase Lee Asher's Sex Sells booklet, in which Yo is taught in an easy-to-find format.

    Suggested material on Slydini?

    I would start with The Annotated Magic of Slydini. There are two different versions (three if you count the original non-annotated one), so be careful, though. The one you want is the 2001 L&L republishing which has Slydini's notes as dictated to Gene Matsuura. A cursory Googling reveals it's...

    FAKE bicycle standard cards

    First off, I highly doubt that this is a fake deck. Bicycles are so numerous and cheap that it's unlikely that there would be any benefit to a potential counterfeiter. Second off, I understand that the box sometimes varies depending on the type of customer the USPCC is selling to (whether they...

    Well spotted! I meant business card. Apologies!

    The linking...

    My favourite linking effect is Joshua Quinn's Conjunction, where you tear a single ungaffed playing card into two linked "rings". It's just beautiful, and more so because it's pretty much real. Actually, my real favourite is Ian Rowland's variation in which he's somehow created a paper ring and...

    Understanding different strengths of magic tricks

    Sorry for any confusion but my comments weren't specifically aimed at Darwin Ortiz. I was speaking more generally about an undercurrent which flows through a lot of magic theory teaching. Whether people are right or wrong about their observations of "layperson thinking" is kind of irrelevant...

    Understanding different strengths of magic tricks

    I would agree with that, but maybe a more useful way to put it would be that we think differently from non-magicians. It's a subtle difference, but, I think, an important one. My point is that the onus is on us to alter our thinking in order to build empathy for the people we're working with and...

    Understanding different strengths of magic tricks

    While all of the recommendations are definitely worth reading, I'd like to chip in with a note of caution. When magicians start pontificating on "the way laypeople think", I feel a bit sad. Laypeople aren't, as a group, a different species, a recently discovered tribe or developmentally...

    Push-off vs Strike second deal.

    Seconded! (Ha ha ha...) If you want spectators to be able to burn your hands during a gambling demo, then a push-off second can look deceptive even with a face-up top card. When performed well, the second card looks like it just melts through the top one. Check out Richard Turner's work for the...

    I quit magic for a while but should I continue?

    I have to echo Craig and Christopher here. There's no reason to definitely choose one or the other. I know that, at the moment, the few years it will take to get your maths (I'm from the UK, we don't say "math" here) degree seems like a lifetime, but it will fly past a lot quicker than you can...
