A rant about ranting? Not at all hypocritical. You've made a lot assertions there, Mat. For one, I don't understand how you can make the assertion that tests of a person's character and knowledge are detrimental to everyone. If you have a problem with me, take your own damn advice, and PM me. I...

I hope you can't read my mind! I want to keep it safe! :o

Not exactly... I didn't mind the fact that I couldn't really hear what you were saying, mostly because the sound wasn't great, which is in no way a knock against you - it's a fact of life for most of us who aren't great editors... I think it's more just that, in my personal opinion, you should...

Cheers. Not your fault at all, though, you couldn't have known my intentions. All good, appreciate that :)

Hey buddy, Welcome to the forums! I'm sure you will make some good friends here. There are people who represent a whole range of experiences and performance styles. If I can give you one tip based on your first live performance video, it's to make sure you're clear with your instructions, and...

HL's CUCM was a test - to see if you would take the initiative and do a little bit of research, or, like 95% of would-be magicians, simply want all their material spoon fed to them so they can show off their tricks. It's unfortunate that Casey explained the source. Using what I gave you, it...

Which just goes to show that preference is subjective and supposed feel is often nothing but a mental creation.

Man, Discoverie is so hard to read, but it's entertaining. I can't get used to the S, though.

Casey, I think the point that Robert is trying to make is that it's impossible to nail everything, every time. I remember seeing a video of the late and great Dai Vernon messing up the climax of Cups & Balls. Whilst I know what you mean, I agree with Robert with what I think he was trying to...

Basically what everyone else has said. Unfortunately the move itself is not at all new (I would be surprised if there was a magician who had never used a palm as a control), and it wasn't performed terrifically. But it can definitely be convincing. I would recommend that you look into sources...

Just look at any of "masterillusions" other posts and you will see that he is nothing but an anonymous member without the slightest idea about magic. As such his opinion is essentially worthless. AbjectEvolution, welcome to the world of cardistry and magic! It looks like you're keen to get into...

a) I don't really understand why you're worried about a spectator scrutinising your deck under a microscope whilst under perfect lighting conditions. If this is a real concern for you, I can only suggest that you look at your own performances. b) Perhaps you're using too much ink. Try putting...

Well pointed out. I prefer ducks myself.

Just curious... Since when was "beating the camera" and having an entire class of students looking for a method behind "tricks" considered "magic"? I must have missed something about the performance of magic. I thought the experience meant more than the spectator searching for methods.

Check out HL's CUCM book.

Try it out. It all depends on individual preference. I'm sure every second member here will be more than willing to give you an opinion, but the only one that matters is yours.

You're a bit late to the party Chris... Everyone's packed up, gone home, and that couple who were making out have already had a baby. Not cool.

Oh, I should've mentioned this in my previous post, slightly rude of me - but it was a good review; although I don't have it, I think it's a fair one. :)

Mate, I don't mean to be rude, but are you seriously that lazy? Google search it. It took me 5 seconds max. No, I'm not going to clean your room for you either.
