I love Coins Across

Oh I hate those. Every now and then, I get one and it makes me legitimately mad because you read 2 paragraphs to figure out the name of the effect, and another 2 just to try and see what it does, only to realize that it's just an old effect. I'd say I get one or 2 subjects every month, but once...

Thanks for the help Josh!

No, I'm more so talking about taking an effect that already uses a very specific gimmick that is already sold and actually taking the idea and simply adapting it to another look, customizing it to fit you specifically, just for your own performances. Like, for example, replacing the Odyssey...

Just to further justify it, we kinda use clickbait in our performance. A strong opener to draw them in moving on into a relatively unrelated show, and linking it all up at the end? Show-bait. Only difference is that people are going to expect the show after the opener.

Oh wow. That's crazy expensive. I'll let you know if I think of anything else!

I honestly did think that it used IET. I just said it to continue the discussion. Yigel Miseka invented loops. He also invented T2. I don't think it was completely unreasonable for me to confuse the 2.

My bad. I assumed it would use the same thing as loops.

A lot of the actual sleights in Card College 1 & 2 would have been covered in the Royal Road, which you already have, and a few of the other books you mentioned. Card College goes much further in depth, but the other books do have a lot more info in them collectively. I would go with the latter...

I doubt you ca get it much smaller than the plush toy itself. Try squishing one of them, you won't get to bend it up too much. You might want to use something like a pipe cleaner (the wire thing) instead. You wont collapse it too much, but it'll be looser than the beams (though I think a piece...

I've never made one but... Better than a slinky, just buy a spring. You can find them at hardware stores, or online if you really can't. Get one that can fit (you probably want one that isn't too hard to pull apart, but is still reasonably strong). Not sure how you would go about making one. I...

I mean technically Yigel Mesika's T2 uses EIT so it isn't too big of a difference given that one is competing with the other for top of the market right now.

What he said. Also, if you don't have a card clip, put the deck in the box, then put it on a flat surface. Then stack a ton of heavy books on top (the first one that is directly on the box should be a hardcover). It'll take longer than a card clip, but if you let it be for a few days, your deck...

I tried switching the weather to cancel school so I wouldn't have to do all my work tonight ... Didn't work lol I'm out for this one. Good luck everyone!

A lot of products are on the market that use a gimmick or a tool that you cannot create at home easily and/or cheaply. For that reason, they are are always sold as completed pieces. However, what if someone wanted to create their own own personal version for self-use. Take Odyssey for example...

To be fair though, the Gold standards aren't classic bikes. But yea, you're 100% right here.

There isn't too much of a difference. They are all produced by Bicycle and use the same stock. The design is the only thing that changes. Perhaps the Auroras or Archangels are Q1 quality, but Bikes are already high enough quality where there the difference is negligible. So besides design, not...

This documentary sounds pretty cool. Are you going to release it, and if so, where?

I've heard that "The Prestige" and "The Illusionist" are really good. There was also a movie that was recently put out called "Sleight", which is about a young magician who uses sleight of hand to save his sister or something. I haven't seen any of them though. Though given the amount of...

I saw a clip from this just by running across it on YouTube (I think it was this). Without the context, I was so confused about what it was about. Thanks for finding the original!
