Well my name is Jim Walker, I'm from northeastern PA.
I'm not really too much into magic (although I wish I could be; and maybe I will be soon?)
But I mainly do webdesign and hosting stuff, and I'm big into drawing and art.

Anyway, I hope I can stick around with you guys and eventualy contribute something

Thanks for having me!

Hi Jim and welcome to TM

Welcome

Thanks for the welcome Stephen and dat8962

Welcome to TM......what type of magic catches your eye?

Oh wow!
This is a question I can kinda answer

I love close up magic, I love things that can afterwards be examined by the person your doing the trick on afterwards. I also love the effect that Scoth and Soda has, although I know its simple, I still like it.

I also love card tricks that are not over done with fancy shuffles and that extreme card manipulation stuff. I mean sure, its cool and really amazing but I know I would never be able to do it or even keep track of what is going on.

With card tricks I like when people use that snap technique and then their card appears. I like a lot of straight foraward stuff that still elaves a nice impression.

And thanks for the welcome agian

hello and welcome to TM jim

Welcome to TM. Grab yourself a deck of cards and learning.

Thanks alot agian guys for the welcome

I just purchased Oz Pearlmen's Snap and Rengade videos odd their site and I'm trying to get them down.
I have a question I'm not sure if I can ask or not, but here it goes:
Any tips for DL? or Double cut force?
Just curious, and yes I thin ki'm going to buy Born to Perform as soon as I can

Thanks a lot!

when i DL i usually do a pinky break below the 2 cards that im going to oick up and when i do i use my middle finger to sligghtly bend the 2 cards thus making it hard to see that there are 2 cards

Hope that piece of advice was at least somewhat helpful but as I am a noob, it might be dumb.

oops! Isn't that exposure Very naughty

oops ...the mods can edit it

As for the DL.....many tips, but the best one I can give is practice, patience, and persistance......many of the moves I use are modified to suit my needs and dexterity, so they do not have to be done "a specific way"

I too like the scotch and soda, yes it is simple, but remeber..............


Never be afraid of simple......it is often a myth that complicated means better. It is all about the effect the spectator gets, not the good feeling the performer gets having done something complex.
