Hie, I have seen many of you guys posting videos of yourselves performing market-available routines. Anyone with their own card illusions?
By performing someone elses routine, you learn techniques and showmanship. However with the basic knowledge of sleights and a little creativity you can create your own.
I believe they can be very strong routines for you, because when you create the illusion, the patter, and you study the flaws, you will be absolutely comfortable with it.
Plus, it helps develop your creativity, and its free. ;)
