    History of Famous 21 card trick?

    I was teaching math last year and I wanted to show my kids this, but I couldn't find the mathematical reasoning behind it.

    "Specialty Decks" and Laymen Perception

    I've been using the Eco deck quite a bit lately and whenever I do a trick with them, people think they're some sort of special deck that's haunted or something... With cards with pretty regular faces, I very rarily get and weird reactions. I often get "Those look cool" for cards like guardians...

    Theory11, Ellusionist or Penguin magic?

    What do you mean by worthy? Personally, Penguin, while cheap, isn't the best thing for magic. T11 and even E are more like online Brick and Mortar shops trying to do good things with magic while Penguin really is like a Wal-mart for Magic.

    Will magic change the way your friends think about you?

    Don't worry about it... just don't be like, "Hey, you wanna see a trick?" and force it in people's faces. No one will think it's nerdy... just be natural about it and be yourself. People I know often find my magic just a cool thing I do like people that play guitar or can draw. It's a...

    Comparison in Performance

    Don't take it so personally... It's just a result of how well Blaine and Angel have marketed themselves. I get it all the time myself and I try my best to make a joke of it (usually just saying I'm better). But it's like, if a high school basketball player shows you something cool, someone...

    Must Have Card Gimmicks

    I never liked Wow. Does it look cool? Absolutely, but I never understood the idea of the plastic card holder. It always seemed illogical to me for someone, specifically a magician to carry it around. Personally, I always liked Distortion a lot more. I don't perform it often, but when I do...

    Must Have Card Gimmicks

    You do not know the mileage you can get out of a double backer.

    Ideas for trick

    It's the idea that's the hardest part... Method is really irrelevant. Once you think up a good idea, eventually you will find a method for it - even if the method sucks.

    Ideas for trick

    I've seen someone do this before... I think. At least something similar. Glenn West is the magician's name.

    What control's do you use?

    - The Pass - Clip Shift - Double Undercut - Cull Those get me through the day.

    I am in a bit of trouble here

    You will need to use your translator, but I think that Control would be a good one to do if you know it.

    Deck in Sobe bottle

    Is there an effect related to this or does it just look cool?

    SEPTEMBER 2009: That Feeling of Wonder

    I'm a big wrestling fan and I feel that the worlds of magic and wrestling kind of share something in that we are aware the both create an illusion, but there's this suspension of belief when we watch it. The greatest thing I ever saw in a wrestling match was Ric Flair's retirement match...

    Justification

    I know I've had a lot of discussion about Torn and Restored effects here, even with people that have created great ones... Glenn West comes to mind... and it makes you wodner why you would rip a card up simply just to put it back together? Same goes with sandwich effects. I've always had...

    The Disappointment of Being A Magician...

    I think there's a level of amazement in knowing the secrets of magic, as well as any other art. In music, the pop formula has gotten somewhat repetitive. In film, romantic comedies just always end with people in love. And in magic, we get used to being amazed. For me, with a lot of art I'm...

    ever forget to check your pockets on laundey day?

    I wash bills quite often, but I haven't washed a deck yet. Do you really find it worth it to make your own Invisible decks? I did it a few times and found that buying an ID off of penguin was cheaper. I would spray about 2 decks with one can and a deck is usually about 4 dollars so, I found...

    Identity Presentation

    I just picked up "Identity" by Richard Sanders and really love the concept of the effect. What's great about it is that you can a strangers' name appear on the card. However, I primarily don't perform for strangers and was wondering if anyone has come up with alternate presentations for the...

    "Just Cut to the Chase!"

    These people, personally, I think are people who don't want to see a trick... They aren't interested in being fooled and just want to see something. I'm not going to say work on your patter. You already have and that's good. You've worked on it and worked on a character, which, I think, is...

    Doing magic while being under the influence?

    I've seen drunken magic before from someone I think of a pretty bad performer... needless to say, it wasn't pretty.
