Magic Tricks

This download was incredible, to say the least. You are literally learning from a man who knows his stuff. The most amazing thing is that he challenges the viewer to embrace the true notion of being a performer, and to be creative in his own right. I have tried many of his effects, and especially Isabella's Star, and boy, does this hit! He even said that he strives for moments of true astonishment, no backflips, no yells, but rather a quiet moment of astonishment, where the person is speechless due to the impossibility of the effect. From experience with these effects, I can say that the reactions are not the main point, but rather the presentation, and through that, the connection that can be established with other people, with complete strangers. He was right in saying that with this kind of mentality, you will go out and start myths, and legends. These effects are only a small fraction of what a true mentalist can do: the stars are the limit. To be able to cause an event of mystery is one thing, but to be mystery itself... Well... That's an entire new level.
Very well taught, thorough, with good explanations. Of course, it will take practice, and indeed it will not work every time at first, but once you get it down, it becomes seamless. Like Peter said, when the worst happens and you fail.... There... That's the worst, no big deal. It's not going to ruin your career. Just move on. Then again, this is something out of this world, thus you cannot fail. A true magician and mentalist keeps and open mind, and works to inspire others. When odds are against you, use your "magic" and turn the tables. This is your chance for incredible things. Embrace the magic of this world and go out there and change the lives of others.
