International Magic.
Don't waste your time with Davenports. They rarely have anything in stock, and if they do you'll pay heavily for it :)

You dont need any of the extra shuffles it is all for show. The trick is self is so simple it can be adapted to any performer.

It is taught in detail on my STEP SYSTEM dvd.

It is something I still use all the time.

Well done young man!

A fantastic achievement and you have just discovered why many of us spend so much time, money and effort in perfecting our performance. THE BUZZ!

Now that you have tasted it you will want it all the more.

What's important now is to reflect on how the evening went and what could have been done better. What could you do different next time?

Hands on experience is the harshest environment and you will learn all sorts of things such as routining, audience management and good,effective patter.

So glad it went well for you and that you have broken your magical cherry! :D
