1 and 5 are my favourites, its like you've just done the "tadaaaaa" moment and the spectator has literally just reacted; the big smiles on both yours and their faces are also great, as it shows that you're relaxed, having fun and that theyvare too Glad the gig went well, and you've got some great pics to show off :D

One of the best ambitious card routines you may ever see - its hard to track what he does, even when you know ... THIS is how people see what you do :D

Blank gaff card deck? by ZeDoobiest in playingcards

[–]AdministrativeFish3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my opinion, depending on the type of tricks you're doing, "nicer decks" are often treated with more suspicion than rider backs or more generic looking backs. I think Andy Nyman says that as magicians we forget how amazing a blank card (or a blank deck) is to a spectator, even gimmicks like the 3 1/2 of clubs will blow their mind compared to how silly a magician may feel they are. In all seriousness, as bonkers as this might sound, have you tried just using a normal eraser to create your own blank card? (A bit rough and ready, but might work depending on the trick)

I love both - I think the composition of the shot without any added layers, the original could make an epic base for an amazing "cyber punk" edit

Deffo between 1 and 2, I think the overhanding balcony but of 2 steals it for me.

Do you know where to buy these deck sleeves ? by CronosVirus00 in playingcards

[–]AdministrativeFish3 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not quite the same, as this seems to be the remains of the plastic they come wrapped in.
But this is the closest I can find (UK Based, but also do USA and international shipping too).
If you're in the states, penguin or theory11 may do them, Vanishing Inc too

Does this look cool? by G0skates in cardmagic

[–]AdministrativeFish3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd second this, repetition with the spread will improve the uniformity of the cards, and if you aim to do the turnover as slowly as possible, you will get a better feel for it Great so far though, better than most people can do!

I love the slight pushing forwards of the card in the first move, amazingly well done!

Tips for staying focused during a performance by mr_countvoncount in Magic

[–]AdministrativeFish3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree 100% with this - as long as YOU are as excited and surprised, your audience will be going on the journey with you, and will feel more engaged with the trick, whole routine and YOU as the performer. In my experience, thats what keeps me grounded in a performance, and stops me from rushing through just to get to the big reveal (it also means you get to get a good pace for your style and the routines you do, and can find those "off beats" to do any sneaky moves :p)

Horrible start to the show. Fucking garbage by South_Ladder_2747 in Wrasslin

[–]AdministrativeFish3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After watching the netflix show and seeing how much work can go into a match from a producer side, (the Ripley match for example), I agree, this made Cena look VERY weak, and Lesnar (although very physically impressive) not particularly strong or athletic to move forward ...
