    // Official 1-on-1 Discussion Thread \\

    One thread is better than hundreds the same, seriously. Now before it spirals into arguements and flaming... I'd like to see a few flourishes, not tons though. More cool everyday stuff like redline. Sleights, with suggested applications. I think the key is a balance. One week a sleight...

    Hard Hitting? Completely impromptu?

    Seriously always listen to (well read...) what praetoritevong has to say. His advice and ideas are very solid. It's about performance, when I first started, Dr Daley's last trick got reactions like 'wow' and 'cool'. I recently started doing this trick again and it now gets (sorry for...

    What's Your Favorite Deck?

    For magic I have never strayed from bikes, and I'm pretty sure I never will. Bikes :D Flourishing... I practise with bikes mainly because I get bricks of them, but I love Guardians and Wynns, in equal measure right now. Both look Just amazing and handle really well. I've used a friends...

    "Wait... Do that again!"

    I don't know about anyone else, but I've recently made the decision to stop just doing whatever trick I feel like and work with a routine, normally 2-3 tricks, no more. Same pretty much all the time. I always just say: 'here's something else that's cool..' or start the trick as they finish...

    Does Originality Exist?

    It is natural that over time originality in creativity becomes harder. Things get repeated or are similar to other ideas or whatever. But that's just how it is, and that helps to push the boundries of creativity. But, no, I don't think creativity is dead. Freezer Burn, Cinders PWF are all fresh...

    Magic and Martial Arts : A Valuable Comparison (Long)

    Very good and interesting read, well thought out with some strong and sensible points there. I myself have a Black Belt in Judo and cannot remember my life before Judo, and I like the comparrisons you draw. I'm not going to try and reiterate your points as I don't think I could, but I hope...

    Everyday cards

    Nah... It did :P Just to reiterate a point... Bikes, I live in England and just buy a brick of them. Cheap, look cool but not to 'snazzy' and feel good. -S♠

    Power Word Fall - Presentation

    Nice idea mate. I reckon it could be very cool, and now I think about it, I might try this when I get PWF... If you made the object fall the first time and then got them to say fall second time round... Just an off shoot of your idea... I like the holding the hand and 'believe ideas too...

    RIOT performed by dR+Review

    Ok, youtube isn't even working for me, so I haven't seen the video. But... I have read every post in this thread. Read Blink's post, he makes the point perfectly, try not to be a complete copy but inspiration is fine. And also I'm sorry but the amount of flourishing videos that look exactly...

    Angle Zero Performance

    Praetoritevong, as per usual, great posts. Not evetything will work all the time, as has already been said. Remember to gear your performance towards your audience, as ayli said, different tricks. I have never performed Angle Zero, to anyone. The reason for this is that I think if your...
