Performing for laymen vs magicians

Going to put my baby, the routine that I love the most, out there to be judged by the very group of people it was intended to fool... lol... that's you.

So here it is, I hope you find it entertaining:

While I wasnt fooled (dont feel bad, I rarely am) I did enjoy it. You remind me a bit of David Blaine.
    If you are going to show a card palmed in this context, it is better to make it look as bad as you can, and nothing like a genuine palm :wink:
Thanks for posting.

Hey I messed up when I wrote it.... I meant to type "Going to put my baby, the routine that I love the most, out there to be judged by the very group of people it wasn't intended to fool... lol... that's you. "


Yeah... when I re-read it I was like, "OH GOD... here we go." LOL... I'm happy you enjoyed it. Surprised you didn't think my thumb moving the way it does wasn't a tell that I was palming. Hmmmmm... cool.

Glad you enjoyed it and didn't care about the drinking and cursing. For some reason people just focus on that.

oh.... and David Blaine? hahaHA... what about me reminds you of Blaine? Maybe because I was a bit stoned when I performed this that I was sedated. But Blaine? LOL... thanks I guess.

Nice routine, some strong visual moments of magic put together nicely.

Im sure you will or have already got lots of use from the routine

:lol:

This is the sort of thing laymen love, simple to follow visual magic that builds. Great ending with a great givaway. I have been using the signature pop off move for long time. (its great)

Well done.

I liked that bit the best!

I watched a few other of your vids too - that dude is perma-stoned!

Your magic is good too, you've obviously put the time in...
