Re: About John Ramsay's Pivot Vanish
My only suggestion would be a bend of the thumb at the knuckle. This way the thumb is not flat against the coin. Really just the tip of the thumb is on the coin and acts as a pivot point.

Re: When You Are Asked To "Teach a Trick" At A Gig
First I would teach a self working effect.
Second, my feeling regarding the exposure dilemma is this:
Those that have an interest in magic will pay attention and remember. Those with no interest ,won't. What can be wrong with teaching those with an interest?

Easy answer.
One trick. One trick only.
Pour wine into Elijah's cup. Place cup on table. Say prayer. Open door. Show cup empty.
Everyone in attendance will " get it".

Re: ERDNASE
Scott,
Let me see if I've got this right.
The better YOU are with a deck of cards, the more likely your candidate is Erdnase.
Sorry, but from my point of view any credibility you may have hoped for went out the window with that childish challenge.

"Nit-picking" is what fans and devotes do.
Baseball has its "Hot-stove" league. Football has Monday morning quarterbacks.
When the "nit-picking" stops, Genii magazine can close down.
