Some great advice here Johnny!
Mentalism truly is a great thing, especially for adults. That's why I like using peeks instead of having them take out a card in many cases. They believe that they are merely thinking of a card, which makes things much more deceptive. I also find card tricks to work best after another effect, that usually use some common props that are lying around. Otherwise, people may have a tendency to think, "oh a typical card trick". The envelopes are a nice touch. Just wondering if anyone saw the envelopes and asked "you trying to sell us something bro?" Also, do you mind expanding on why you have a deck that can be destroyed while you have one that doesn't for those who may wonder why? I'm assuming that you have tricks that require a full deck or something to that extent. But if you have another reason, I would love to know too

@Albert- hey guys Im Johnny Silver,"wanna buy a watch"-no they never thought i was selling something,lol Yes, I keep a full deck,because I have some effects that require the entire deck. One thing I should include tho is for ALL card tricks,whether its packet or deck tricks, or effects with the deck where the cards can be destroyed, all the decks should be the same. Throughout the entire night I want people to see me using the same type of cards.
@Fin-Sorry, I only discuss magic. I never speak about the Mentalism I do. I only even have 2 videos of me doing mentalism posted and they are old. Its just kinda my thing.... However a great mentalism type effect for magicians is "the Black Envelope" by Eugene Burger. |
