That's a really ignorant statement, you can't make sweeping generalisations like that, especially not without anything to back up your statement and with pitiful spelling and grammar. Different situations may call for a different move. E.g. if I want to control a single card to the top without...

I'd agree that what Dan and Dave do is really stretching the term magic and card manipulation is a more accurate description of it. I'd say some of their effects are effective with a magical presentation (I find Hoffzy Osbourne comes across as very magical when presented properly) although it...

I agree on the over counting, you draw so much attention to the top cards that it causes suspicion. After the second count I was getting a bit irritated and also starting to suspect they might not be the aces. You've done nothing to make the audience suspect that the situation has changed...

You're hardly even writing in English, as somebody else said we appreciate that English might not be you're first language (I certainly hope it isn't) but your post just doesn't make any sense.

When i'm performing casually for friends I don't have a set routine but I try to make the spectators feel that there's a clear progression heading towards a definite ending. I usually finish with either Out of this world or Triumph, I find that anything else performed after these is going to...

I find that my hand looks more natural if I bend the card quite a bit, you shouldn't try and keep the card flat, it will look very awkward. I'd recommend holding the card in a palm while watching TV, listening to music etc. Just keep putting it in a palm position, when you start to feel a bit...

We don't 'deserve' to know anything about it, they have no obligation to tell us anything. But really why would you even care? You have some major issues if you're getting worked up about a magic company not revealing information about a product/ feature as soon as you'd like.

Why do you care if it's a pass? It's obviously deceptive as you were unable to tell what's happening. What's the chance of a spectator working out what you're doing?When done properly this pass is burnable,

I'm not sure why this is even being discussed, i'm almost certain this didn't happen. Ramo D. has frequently shown himself to be an arrogant liar who quickly turns offensive as soon as anyone disagrees with him, he contributes nothing to the forums.

I'm almost certain that your performance is the problem, as it often is for beginners. Every time you perform you should have the undivided attention of the entire audience. If you get responses where people claim they know how you did it (and they obviously don't) or make guesses at the...

This is completely stupid, every time psychokinesis has been scientifically tested it fails. You can't control stuff with your mind, get over it.

If you watch the explanations you will notice fairly significant differences. The Cardini change and Pughe's pass both use a very quick motion to snap the card off the deck however they end up in different positions once they've been taken off the top of the deck. I believe Pughe's pass has...

That was a great post, you've made some very interesting points. It's easy to say that originality doesn't matter to laymen but this probably isn't true. It might be more accurate to say that it doesn't matter to a small amount of laymen who have no experience of magic although this probably...

As somebody else mentioned, the myth that we use only 10% of our brains is completely untrue, there's absolutely no evidence to support it and overwhelming evidence to show that we use almost all (if not all) of our brains. Please do some research before making these stupid claims. As for...

There's some good points and some bad points about it. It's an interesting variation on the Collectors plot, it's nice to see something a bit different. The Duck change was performed very well and there was some nice moves in the vanish sequence. Your pass is fairly good. This is not...

It's kind of cool but I can't see myself ever using it. I find most snap change variations to be almost useless in the real world. As soon as you've got more than 2 or 3 people watching it's not going to work. If you want to control a card from second to bottom there's endless ways of doing...

I'm really tempted to go, i'd love to see a Dan and Dave lecture. If train tickets are reasonably priced i'll probably go.

Anything from DM is always nice. I don't really want anything from Chris Kenner because most of it will be on the TOOC DVD's, i'd rather just wait and buy it all together. I'd really like to see some more from Jason England, maybe on palming or the Classic pass.

I've never performed street magic and I don't plan to. I perform for people I meet in Coffee shops, bars, clubs, cafes etc. I like to know that the person really wants to see the magic and I like to have some time to try and get to know them a bit as well. If i'm sitting round practicing...

I live in the UK so I have to stay up till about 5 in the morning if I want to wait for a release. Here's a suggestion, buy the product the next day. Tbh you sound very whiney.
