Why not say the F word while you're at it?

Just kidding but the reason we dont is because we have leechers come on here looking for secrets. Some techniques are guarded secrets and just because a layperson cant do we dont neccesarily want to give them insight into the techniques that are still used

People generally think p******* is an ancient method that is no longer used so by us keeping it that way we can expoit it

We want to be careful about keeping methods secret.. its for the same reason we say TT and not Tea Total as that would completely give out game away. And also why we refer to Inner Terrestrials as I.T !!

Come on--you're contradicting yourself. We can't be telling everyone about the Tea Total technique.

I blatantly make fun of p****** in my close up routine. People ALWAYS go for my hand, so you can't tell me that it's some ancient technique. Granted, when the find it's not there, they go for the sleeves--now THAT'S foolish. No one does that anymore...

than why you do p****** as part of a routine... not stopping at that point when they can find it

Erm, I don't actually p*** anything. But when they see a stiff hand "taking a card" off the deck to the right, I could cram an elephant in my left back pocket because all the heat is on the right hand--without a card in it. I can choose to ditch their card in the back pocket for a transposition or ditch the deck for a vanish and they'd swear they saw the deck in full view the whole time. It's almost embarrasingly simple, but not once have I been called out on it.

Thats fair enough Rob but do you never ever use the p*** anymore?

I personally love the sleight

Can anybody please help me? I'm having terrible problems controlling my streetmagic- I can't walk down a street without turning into a pub.
