Will you guys ever do a "battle" in flourishing? (Meaning Dan vs. Dave)

How do you get your creativity?

Do you practiced to music? If so, what do you practice to?

What are your absolut (hehe pun intented) FAVORITE cards?

Will you guys release any new material flourish-wise in the next few years?

Some people might know about your new project "Improv". What are some things that will be included? Also, just to clarify, it is a set of notes, right?

1.Do you think there is a limit to what card flourishing can become? Our body can only be used to so many ways.
2.Who do you think is gonna be the big hit in the future in terms of flourishing?
3.If you can fight anyone who would it be?
4.Will there be one day where all flourishes are made?

What magic is best for school? (Most people on these forums are in highschool/college so this comes up a lot). More specifically, for performing for a class of about 20 or 30... A reply would be greatly appreciated by many!

I have a lot of questions so I thought I'd condense most of it into the following:
Mac or PC?
*macough*
Mario or Luigi?
Manual or automatic?
Classical or metal?
MySpace or Facebook?
McCain or Obama?
Beamer or Benz?
Paper or Plastic?
Hummer or Prius?
Joe Torri or Joe the Plumber?
For here or to go?
Debit or credit?
Gimmicked or impromptu?
Chick flick with a stunning girl you barely know or action film with your best guy friends?
Math or English?
Blonde or brunette?
"Bring it on!" or "Take the easy way out..."?
Pull a prank or dodge a prank?
Vanilla or chocolate?
Summer or winter?
Talk or text?

Smoke and Mirror decks for me embodies a certain timeless elegance. Do you feel that this represents and/or augments your performance style?

To what degree do you guys think the choice of performance deck can help your performance - choosing a deck that suits your style, presentation, setting and of course which feels great for example?

Certain sections of the community disliked double D's (on the cards). How much do critics affect your products, both positive and negative?

On a less serious note, what do you guys think of Double D's? :p

If you could adopt a third Buck, who would it be?

The earth has been hit by a comet, and only one deck of cards remain. You two, Chris Kenner, Wayne Houchin, and Lee Asher are the only surviving humans and decide to fight over the cards. Who gets the cards, and why?

Do you guys have regular jobs? Besides theory11 royalties and your site. I know you mentioned other jobs way back on the Magic Broadcast interview.
