    Nervous of doing the Pass

    All the focus of these posts seem to be on making your misdirection stronger. This will help, as long as the misdirection appears natural and doesn't exist just for the sake of the pass. When giving tips on the pass, I notice a rigid body motion when both cards touch the deck. Also, much...

    In Which Order

    I personally don't think that is a strong routine - I think good routines offer variety. Doing a once card transpo...then a two card one...that is essentially the same effect done twice in a row. Think about offering a bit more to the routine - perhaps a non-card effect so you can ring in...

    Don't Waste My Time

    Practice to learn - practice in front of a mirror or on camera - show other magicians and/or a close friend (I always showed my girlfriend) - then show small groups that ask to see your magic - then take it to the public...notice I didn't say, "take it to the streets" - take it to a place where...

    Magic Banned at School!

    I think it is the association with gambling, as many high schoolers are playing hold em, due to it's popularity. It is a hard one - doing it for art is a good argument, but how can you promise they won't be used for poker. You should reallly address the reasons the principal gave you - I would...

    Magicians Hating Magicians

    Wow, this topic is picking up steam. A couple points - I don't think magicians hate magicians - I think people hate a$$holes in general. I have found good guys in magic to be good guys in life, and vice versa. How many really jerk magicians turn out to be really great guys? I also...

    Don't Waste My Time

    Let's not turn this into an Angel bashing thing - honestly, pop culture magic has never done wonders for the image of magic and how it is seen. I miss the days of "World's Greatest Magicians" - at least it really was our greatest.

    Don't Waste My Time

    I guess we have had different experiences with audiences in how they see Angel. I have had people show interest in him too...but not as many that don't. I am not sure this is the thread to discuss this - BUT - I think one of the main things that the audiences has to believe when watching TV...

    Don't Waste My Time

    This is exactly the issue - you are asking for "a line" - you aren't approaching someone to say something relevant to cards...you are saying something relevant to life. It is not a line, or a script to get you there...it is being a real person. Life first, magic second. If you were to chat up...

    Don't Waste My Time

    PS - Mike posted the same time as me, but I TOTALLY agree - "Don't open with cards" is one of the BS rules that have developed because people seem to think that card magic is why people hate magic...um, no, Magicians are why people hate magic, because people love card magic (and all other...

    Don't Waste My Time

    This is a sign of the times...so many people doing bad magic that you aren't even getting a chance to show anything at all. Thank you Angel, such a great PR guy that people hate magic more than ever. How few a times have you said, "I am a Magician" and someone thinks that is prestigious? I...

    Art of Astonishment

    Hey Dude, When I was just into magic, I saw some stuff at of PH's book that helped me understand what astonishment was, versus "tricks". I bought those books on the spot. PH's books opened the door, as I realized I could search for truly impossible and magical effects. Those books have...

    Mr. Jane - glad you took the time. Have you read the book Strong Magic? Great book - yet, nothing in that book has not been presented before. It was just organized in one source. Shelter states the book where he gains his points, points that were well organized. Education is the key to...

    Where Are Your Morals Now?

    Yes. Anyone that says different is a liar.

    Hardest card trick...

    That is fine - you never know in this forum, but in my defense - I gave legit answers, but stated the rest just to be sure. Josh Jay actually wrote about "what is the hardest trick" and how that bothered him in Magic magazine...he said it has become a common question, so you can understand my...

    Mr. Jane - You write an essay on not being lazy in magic, but appeared to struggle looking past the medium to see the message of this video? I have been reading your posts, as you have been new to the forums. I have hoped to make our first encounter more pleasant, so have not yet posted in...

    Shelter - these are all valid points. Where can I order that book? Sir FansAlot - Your opinion is moot, and you spelt boring wrong.

    The Oops! Deck

    Why would you want your trick to have the same as another? Not the exact same - but I don't think the Oops deck, and the trick Oops are the same. The word "deck" makes it different. Can you think of anything good which can come of that? Clarity of effect? Actually, there is...

    Hardest card trick...

    Some of Derek Dingle's stuff is hard...and stuff from Ernest Earick's book, by Forces Unseen. Just to name a few...however, it can all be hard if you don't practice. Also, I am not sure why you asked this question, but I want to say - who cares how hard it is. You shouldn't do magic...

    My First Gig

    This is a hard one to advise on, because anything I say will be a piece of a larger tapistry. I guess I will tell you things that I wish someone said to me when I did my first gig. 1 - Don't be nervous, use that nervous energy and turn it into confident energy that shows you love magic...
