    Just to be clear, are you talking about the "Two-Handed Shift" (the classic pass), or the "Erdnase Shift, Two Hands"?

    Nobody likes magic

    I don't know what it means, but it can't be good. You know that expression, "as well-dressed as a magician"? No, me neither.

    The unknown fan ( Please help ! )

    It's called the Three-Sixty Fan, a move by Naoki Ogi. You can find it in the book New Magic of Japan by Phil Goldstein & Richard Kaufman.

    Difference between revealing and teaching?

    Yes. And, if they wouldn't, it's no great loss to the art.

    I'm sorry, I don't understand the question. Could you explain what you mean using different words please?

    Bottom deal resources

    It is! You heard correctly. My advice would be to study these resources in this order: 1. Jason England - The Bottom Deal download. This will give you all you need to get started and enough knowledge to start developing a bottom deal technique that suits you. To be honest, you could stop here...

    Bottom deal resources

    In my opinion, there are two possible answers to this. It depends on what your goal is. Do you want to become an expert in the bottom deal or do you just want to learn how to execute one to a reasonably deceptive standard?

    Creating an act

    The answer to your question is very much dependent on where this act is going to be performed. Are you expecting to perform on stage at a comedy club, walk-around at a party, as a headliner in a theatre show, busking on the street or somewhere else? Each type of performance venue brings its own...

    David Blaine?

    Just a point on that. Wouldn't you say that, possibly, the dividing line between magic and mentalism is more down to approach to performance than to effect selection? For example, I'd say that when Uri Geller bends a spoon, it's mentalism, when David Williamson does it, it's magic, and when Neo...

    T.G. Murphy Deck Flip Half-Pass

    It seems to be just a matter of getting a bit of air under the top card. So, a simple and repeatable way of doing this would be to push the card off slightly, about the width of the border. Then it's just practice!

    This is Dynamo

    I'm not the biggest Dynamo fan, but I think that maybe putting his success down purely to "who he knows" doesn't tell the whole story. He and his manager put the hours in networking, making sure they were in the right place at the right time performing to the right people and developing a style...

    One hand fan?

    Nicholas's references are correct (Paul Harris's Art of Astonishment Volume 1 or Jeff McBride's The Art of Card Manipulation Volume 3). I was just correcting the commonly-held belief that Paul Harris invented the move.

    One hand fan?

    Just for the sake of accuracy, the move is actually Randy Holt's.

    Cardini Change

    "George Pughe's Pass" was first published in the Kaufman & Greenberg 1994 expanded edition of John Northern Hilliard's Greater Magic. Dorian Rhodell then popularised it on his DVD Avenue. In this original form, it had also been published as the "Wow Control" by Oliver Macia on the DVD Control...

    Pen/Pencil/Sharpie Switches

    Shoot Ogawa has a DVD on wand manipulation including productions, vanishes and changes. I don't own it myself, but I saw him lecture on some of the material and the moves could certainly be adapted to other long thin objects such as pens or straws. In that vein, I imagine that if you research...

    Biggest Wallet= Best Magician?

    Exactly. Hand those off the shelf props to someone like Dave Williamson or Greg Wilson and there would be no doubt about their ability. This is the point. You can't buy a truly magical act. You can buy the props to perform that act, and maybe enough instructions to muddle through it at a...

    Biggest Wallet= Best Magician?

    This is definitely an issue. In my opinion, the root cause is our inability to convey a sense of magical process to our audiences. When a miraculous effect occurs with no apparent cause apart from "magic", a sensible lay audience will leap to the most obvious (and often correct) conclusion which...

    Deep Question about Magic

    In aesthetics, or the philosophy of art, there is no generally agreed-upon definition of "art". Most definitions that have been attempted either exclude too much or include too much. For example, if a definition includes the idea of the application of physical craft, like painting or sculpting...
