Hello everyone,

I recently got started with Rick Merrill's FABULOUS coin and Sharpie stuff.  I'm a long ways away from competition-caliber, but I thought the first part that I do have down might be enjoyable to watch.  It's certainly fun to perform!

Hello everyone,

I've been working on a pocket Wild Coin sequence with patter that is both relevant and interesting.

This is what I've got so far, and I'm pretty happy with the patter, but the moves and timing could definitely use more work.

Any thoughts for how to improve the routine even more?

Hello everyone,

Too often I find myself speaking quickly and quite a bit.  I am trying to slow down what I do for a more meaningful and magical performance.

The below Hanging Coins rendition is a little different than my typical style, and I hope it is more engaging.

I'm working on really making what I don't say and do weigh as much as what I do speak and do.

Hey guys,

I've taken Ponta's 3 Fly handling, and am playing around with some little tweaks here and there...it's still a work in progress:

I hope you enjoy!

Thanks Don, some excellent points in there that should keep me busy for a while!

Your thoughts on audience direction, attention, and presentation are super valuable!

Thanks, I'll definitely check out the link.
No doubt I can do better on my speaking.
Cheers,

Thank you, Mr. Asher!

That's high praise, coming from you.

Hello all,

I posted a Thunderbird video several months ago.  Since then, I've become a little more familiar with the handling.

In an effort to do something fun, I've taken inspiration from another awesome Lee Asher creation-- the Ambitous Explosion, and paired its concept with the barehanded Ace production.

This is still a work in progress, but I hope you have fun watching the one card from the air explode into four!

He'll Don,
Warcraft was a a example of the ornate fantasy theme I am a fan of.  I'll steer clear of anything too similar and will be sure to stay original, in the sense that the ideas come from me,
Cheers

Hello Don,
I've been doing some more work with trying to emulate the traditional court style.
Below is a tentative (rough draft) work of a new idea and style:


Thoughts?

Hello Don,
I really appreciate the insight you have been giving my designs!

I suppose I could always add the black lines to the courts manually, but it'll be lots of revising.

I really wanted to create a deck that was intricate and detailed, hence the suits and the small lines on the courts.  The faces thing was a fun addition, but ultimately nonessential.

I do enjoy your idea of contemporary courts, however now that school ha started for me, I'm not sure how much time I will have to create a new design.

Of course, my current one is in dire need of change as well, so I guess I have two routes, both of which will take considerable time.

Thank you all the same,
Owen

Hello Don,
Here's another slight adjustment, with the suits tacked on as well.
Getting there?

@Don Boyer

Hello, I used a new template on the Kings.  I hope this can alleviate the muu-muu problem?
