Nick, stopping by

[Blindside462]

Hello everyone!

Found this site through the exomagic tinychat room and I like the people and environment. I'm excited to see how we can advance the art of magic. I've been into magic for about 4 years now off and on, a lot more off than on. I finally decided to make a promise to myself to advance myself and to never stop practicing. I still have a lot to learn.

I hope to talk to all of you guys!

What type of magic are you looking to learn first? Whats your favorite pie too?

Right now I'm learning a variety of things. I'm pretty strong into coins, cards, bills, and rubberbands. I'm starting to really like Sean Scott effects. They have a real organic feel the them, like Modosu. And my favorite pie is pumpkin pie!

I actually have performed the effect twice. I barely have time to setup effects like that with work, girlfriend, and other priorities. So as you can tell most, if not all, the effects I do are impromptu and have very little setup. Fraud is one of the most powerful bill effects I have seen today. Now that you mentioned it I'll actually have to redirect myself to using it more often.

Check out Helder Guimaraes'. His is my personal favourite.

YouTube - Helder Guimaraes - Oil & Water

I have modified the handling slightly though, and added a third phase; Yannick Chretien's Reflipped. (13 seconds in)

YouTube - DVD YANNICK CHRETIEN directed by...

Helder's can be found on his DVD "Small Miracles", and Yannick's on his self titled DVD.

If that isn't your style then be sure to check out Malone Meets Marlo Vol. 3, there's a whole load of oil and water techniques on that DVD.

Hope that helps!

Indeed! There's a lot of oil and water techniques on that DVD. Helder's is also completely clean though.
