I also think it's quite dangerous to have a prop that can't be inspected, I suppose a stripper could be fanned to look at although with handling it could be worked out, but the invisible and svengali can't even have the cards spread.
Welcome to the art, Anthony. You have much to learn.

I also understand that it's ok to say no. A no every now and again would be like a drop in the ocean, but if you do say no, that person of group of people will always have that thought in the back of their mind that you couldn't do the effect if they were to shuffle, and it could be days, months or years later, but they will probably tell someone about your performance, and with the exagerations and distortions that change the memory over time, would you rather they tell of this mind bending effect, or this effect that they extreamly underplay.
If the magician just wants bookings that's ok, I'm only human, I have bills to pay, but I'd like to think we all would love to have our performances exagerated over and over into a crazy/ impossable effect, rather than be remembered as that magician that almost got caught.
Again, just my input. I'm not arguing, I'm just enjoying what other's think on this subjuct, I got a very thought provoking message from Demitri. I'd love to hear from some more people.
