Just some of my favorite stuff!

Not into it at all, can´t even mix a pack when playing some game, which is rare.

Nevertheless the videos are amazing, how do you start learning to do such stuff?

No such thing as Magic.

Work your way up. Did you try Buckeye? It's pretty advance, but not impossible to do.

When I was younger, yes.

Nah, I have one of those intriguing things called a life.

Everyone has a hobby of their own, you know--childish, stupid, whatever.

Yeah, I'm well aware that it would be called a hobby and that maybe people would like to fit such a thing into their life.

What I should have said is: I have a fulfilling enough life, and as such, do not need to perform tricks/illusions/whatever you want to call them.

Fair play to the people that enjoy it, keep on shufflin'.

Hobby or profession. More and more young magicians are making their own DVD's and earning pretty good money. Places like Ellusionist.com or Penguinmagic.com sells all kinds of stuff and thousands will pay top price for good illusions.

Hell, I had a show of my own and earned some money in high school.

Are you trying to get people to buy stuff from those sites?

No.

Pretty cool.

Thanks for the opinions. All I wanted as I stated in the FIRST post.

Why don't you just upload your mime videos?

I like card tricks.

Hint: If you're doing a Penn and Teller trick, and your card is the 3 of clubs, they made it that card.

Penn and Teller are great. It's tricky!

bar tricks(bets)?!!! hey bet you a dollar that I can stand on one finger longer than you can stand on your head (do a headstand) ever seen that one done some dude tries to do a drunken headstand and you just lean over and step on your finger..lol)!!!!!!!!!!!!!
