Bro, you kind of need to wait a bit longer than 5 minutes.

By bizarre - what do you mean? Geek magic? Mind reading? Be a bit more specific in this regard.

No worries. Although I've ordered from American websites before and it's been no hassle. Plus the exchange rate at the moment is pretty sweet too :D.

I am sure others more experienced in this area will be along to help you shortly though. For some relatively simple bizzare stuff in the interim you could always check out here :wink:.

You strike me as a young man who'll be bored with one trick after five minutes. Get a book or a DVD of techniques and it's like Lego, in that you can build your own routine.

Maybe "Born To Perform" would be a seriously good idea.

Unless you can already perform without expensive (or cheap for that matter!) gimmick you shouldn't be buying them in my opinion. They can spice up an existing performance but you can't be a magician just by buying a trick. Get Born to Perform, it's got way more in it than any one expensive trick would get you.

Sorry to be harsh but we've all been down this road (at least I have)! Buying gimmicks seems fun for a while but then you end up with a lot of tricks and no magic...

hi thanks. i get what you mean, but i am starting to get better at skills and not self working magic. e.g art of card manipulation by jeff mcbride.
The back palming productions on there are hard but i can do them all.

Born to perform erm looks good but most of the stuff on there are on jeffs dvd and i have learnt most of them. If there are any more dvd's or differant versions of that dvd please let me no thanks ben.

Get royal road to card magic DVD £51 not too much, 5 dvds well worth the price, and the teaching is 1st class.
