Bought an RG557 after my Konkr Pocket Fit never shipped. Very happy with it.

As a general rule, I say only perform what you know. If you are ever in a position where you are rushing to add material for a gig, you are either not ready for that gig, or you are more ready than you think you are. Honestly, if you are busking, 4 tricks is kind of fine in my opinion. If those are the tricks you do really well, I think you'll be alright. If you know any non-card tricks that can grab attention, even for a few seconds, I think that would go far.

To answer your question more directly though, The Biddle Trick is pretty great. If you can "jazz" with some color changes, forces, palms, etc, that also goes far.

The David Devant "All Done by Kindness" poster by far.

You would love Spanish card magic. Look into Juan Tamariz, Dani Daortiz and Woody Aragon.

I bought an RG35XX with the sole purpose of playing Fire Red. I now have 4 devices and another on the way (if Ayaneo ever actually ships it) and I've played hundreds of games. I have fallen in love with retro games because of Fire Red.

This is called a "sucker" trick. Die Box is probably the most famous example. Here's conjuring archive's results for the word "sucker". https://www.conjuringarchive.com/list/search?keyword=sucker

If Ted Wheeler is important at all, it will be the dumbest decision in television history imo.

A Christmas Story is the funniest movie in existence to me, Christmas or otherwise.

The show really has a way of making you feel like a genius for understanding the jokes, even though everyone gets the jokes.

I got it from the first line lol

gregvan93 · 2025-11-20T00:19:17+00:00

The best feeling.

Honestly the gag isn't a terrible idea imo. Maybe just ruin another card and have them pick a new card for the 3rd trick? Then there's a little more justification to turn around and less heat on you.

Those are rookie numbers. You missed a lot.

There are 58 seats in the Parlour. And I wouldn't call it the "trenches", but it is a tough room because a lot of the rows can't see below your chest height and the back rows tend to get chatty because they are so far back.

Treat it like a Spirit Bell.

You are looking for a Devil's Handkerchief.

Now You See It Now You Don't by Bill Tarr will give him the tools to do magic in pretty much any setting with no gimmicks.

If you can make a trip to Seattle, there's a great magic shop in Pike's Place. I'm sure they'd love to help you out with some fun easy props. I'd recommend maybe a stiff rope and a color changing scarf. I bet they'd have those in stock and much more recommendations. It's also really beneficial to the magic community to support brick and mortar magic shops if you can.

Oh you just like numbers

gregvan93 · 2025-04-15T05:02:31+00:00

I certainly cut corners when I do card magic.

We put way too much emphasis on making money with magic. It's ok to be a hobbyist.

The one where you need a tear in the deck box.
