If what you said is true - then I think that is pretty expensive a set to not doing for a paying audience. Truthfully, my level of magic doesn't change in relation to my audience - unless, I don't want to do my paid work for people for free - I do the exact same strength of magic with the exact...

Solid advice - good to see you back in the forum.

Hey Toby, POW? Position Of Wonder? POV, right? Am I looking at it from a magician's POV? No. I find I am really good at pretending I don't know how it is done, and asking myself, "If I knew NOTHING about magic - how would I think this was done?" I usually end up strengthening my magic...

Thanks Tally-Ho William - back handed comment accepted and approved.

Why did I abandon this? Well - I can't stop magicians from posting on Youtube - those that do it - will still do it - those that don't, they know why it is a bad idea already. It is like telling an adult to not smoke - they know it is bad, but will do it anyways, or make choices not to....no...

Alright - before this topic gets buried - WHY in the hell has nobody brought up my work? The weaknesses of coin magic: http://forums.theory11.com/showthread.php?t=7134&highlight=Morgician Dissecting the Torn and Restored Card...

What I wished they discussed is various methods to get into that position - you would have to walk up to a group or on stage with it in position - thus, nobody gets to examine the deck, making it easy to dismiss that what was there, didn't reallyi vanish - at least when thinking long term...

Disc 3 review!!! Cassanova Inc. This is a sick transposition of two drawing on the back of your business card. I figured it out a few seconds after the performance, but it duped me BAD. It would have totally fooled me, if it weren’t for the “card mixing” to hand the cards out – I think a...

Just a side note - I did BackLash 3 times today for randoms that asked, "Why do you have a deck in your hand". Anyhow - 2 of them FREAKED, the last one said, "I bet you just made me sign the back of another card"! My worry comes to life - the method is too obvious - too perfect theory in...

I will answer that when I am done them all - but just from the outside looking in, think of it this way. You could spent 300 bucks on 9 DVD's, not get a nice wooden box for them and free gimmicks for each set - and NOT have as much fun with the magic on these discs. Is it worth it - yes...

Hi Blahblah - I haven't watched them - I am doing the reviews as I go through them...so you are getting my untainted reaction. I wouldn't say I am disappointed so far, because the magic is fun - but right now, I haven't found anything worth using in my professional work. A few maybes - but...

My three concerns: Your presentation may be overly "heady" for people to follow - and - is what you say the truth - lastly - will people care enough about "science" to see the magic. Wrapping up - we must be careful with what we say, as people see what you do as magic, not science, so...

Disc 2 Review Disc 2 LVL$ This effect is a nice spin off of Leap of Faith (Las Vegas Leaper plot) – with a neat kicker that recalls an opening joke. However, I am not sure how “fool proof” the method is, even though PH talks about this in his Phootenotes. I never saw Leap of Faith as...

Great thoughts Toby - everyone hope you enjoy Disc 2 review.

I will try to use a bit of a softer approach on this one, as I would rather get you thinking, than make you mad or hurt your feelings. So here I go - asking some probing questions: Do you think it hurts the personal feel of having the person's name written on the side of the deck...then...

I was 20 years old when I started magic. Just entering my first year of college, I put down my basketball, even though I was scouted to play division one (at that time a future bench warmer for Syracuse) and picked up a deck of cards. I knew a few tricks here and there, but when I saw Blaine...

The actual effects are given out elsewhere, I think it's hard for kids to want to spend 400 bucks...but harder if they don't know the value. This was my reason. 1. I would spend the 10 bucks for 10 cards, if I had a reason to perform the effect - this could be like Anniversary Waltz, I...

Sinful did a great job letting us know the effects, and what comes in the box – I want to review the strength and usefulness of the effects – from my perspective. Disc 1 Twilight Angels “An angel disappears from one side of a card, and appears beside the other” Seeing this effect...

Love to read it.

sciffdof, I find it interesting that all your points focused on method - and many of your points just comb over the issues. 1. I don't think you should LAYER CONFUSION - but I do find that many times coin magicians are trying to do just that. Even with 1 or 2 gestures - which look so...
