I know that I can learn this on labelled, let's get that out to start with. But I want to develop my routines, understand the art and work from there. I don't know if saying methods I think will work here would count as exposure since I'm not actually talking about how a trick is done just a principal that can allow creativity. If it's not kosher to talk about here can you PM me methods, I know how to "reseal" glass pop up lids, I'm looking to "reseal" coke bottles, etc for an effect.

When you get fifty posts, you will have access to Secret Sessions, a forum where things like this can be discussed.
What if the Hokey Pokey really IS what it's all about?
My neighbor rang my doorbell at 2:30 a.m. this morning, can you believe that, 2:30 a.m.!? Lucky for him I was still up playing my drums. |

Play around with it a bit. When you hit 50, share what you have learned in the Secret forum.
Really, I am delighted that you are so enthusiastic, but I want to caution you to get several tricks learned well before you try to develop too many new things. I know that I spent about a year with all sorts of knowledge about how the tricks are done and couldn't really perform a single one. Don't let that be you! Pick a trick, learn it well. Find a way to make it your own. Know when, where, and how you can perform it. Then go out and actually do the trick. Have a reason available for not doing another, just in case people ask for more. Something like "sorry, one is for fun, but if I do more that's a show and I would expect to get paid." When you can do several tricks well, you will be able to innovate more. If you want to remove a drinks lid without breaking the seal, there are ways. Probably fairly easy. But what's the point? If it is just to tamper with products, that isn't very useful. If it is to create a moment of wonder, be sure you have all the other aspects of your trick in place, too. The mechanics of a trick are less important than the presentation of it. Much less. But they do have to be solid for the trick to work. -Patrick |

It's definitely to create an impossible moment of wonder, I work mostly with cards I think I've said enough saying that. Simplicity is key and you're right, I currently do ambitious card routines, colour changes, false shuffles, ,controls, cuts and forces that I can work with improving presentation, mostly slights. I still need to learn to cull, palm properly and some of the advanced stuff but I practice daily. I also work with post its, bands, clips, anything around. I tend to pick items up and think what I can do with them. I love impossible location tricks, this OP was intended with the means of providing an impossible location. Well, if nothing else I guess this counts for one more post
