Im guessing from reading your post this is a question that you are looking for a discussion on? Well I can only answer this from personal experience and the path I have gone down in magic, a path which has sometimes been intentional and sometimes not so much. Currently I am living in Dubai...

How are you controlling the card to the top before you do a Sybil cut?

Very well said Craig.

Don't ask yourself the question how to make people carem you should be asking why should they care? Your taking up peoples time at the end of the day so you have to give them something to care about to warrant you taking their time from them. So in terms of tricks think about how you can...

what tricks do you already perform?

Please don't think I was having a dig at you because I wasn't, there is nothing wrong putting yourself out there and the fact that you are talking and thinking about routines to put together is commendable especially if you are just starting out. My point was (although it may have come across...

I appreciate the reply. I know the TED talk and I can understand what you guys are trying to do with this project, plus I think the charity thing is a very good cause, much respect for you for doing that. My issue is that if I purchase this I feel I am basically buying some very clever...

Ok earlier in the thread you said this was after someone saying there is 'more to the box' which kind of implies that there is....more to the box, as other people are saying. Are you now saying there is actually nothing to keep on the 'DL' because there is nothing more to the box, other than...

I'm not sure about the originality of the effect, but I'm also not sure if its worth exposing the method and name of a very strong move such as the push through shuffle to simply locate a four of a kind. After you have told them about that move and even shown the mechanics of it, any table...

I really hope that the original poster reads and re reads this again. There seems to be a spate of people coming around with the notion that they have the latest and greatest ideas that will change the magic world, without having enough knowledge about the world they are trying to change. I...

What books do you currently own and/or working through at the moment?

There is another quote, "There are times when $149 is more important than a mystery" If I'm going to spend that sort of money on something I think I have the right as a consumer to know exactly what I am getting.

These arn't so much things that I have learned over time, its just how my path in magic went and it has served me (and im sure many others) well. Buy books, start with the fundamentals the foundations of magic Mark Wilson's, Tarbell Course, Card College ect, don't get suckered in by the newest...

Are you talking about the code for the lock? I don't own the box but I'm pretty sure they gave away the code to the lock in one of the marketing photos, if I'm right about that, then that's another non-mystery about the box.

In my opinion these fancy dan and dave flourishes can even detract from the feeling of 'magic' moving more towards just a display of skill rather than 'magical ability'. I'm not saying that I think my audiences believe that what I'm doing is real magic but I do want them to view what im doing...

I completely agree I don't think that using a deck of designer cards add's anything in the same way as using regular cards takes anything away from a performance, as laypeople just see a deck of cards.

My money is on nothing more than the cards and the letter. As for there being 'more mystery' to/inside the box, my guess is it's just metaphorical mystery rather than anything physical.

I can understand your point as I take a lot of pride in my appearance when I'm performing so as you say people see me as professional, slick and invested in who I am and what I do. Do you think that when a lay person see's a deck of designer cards though, they honestly appreciate/understand...

haha worth a shot.

Get me a job please ;)
