aJohnson pretty much summed up what I was going to say too. Buying magic related DVDs on eBay is very common now, bearing in mind the ridiculous shipping expenses large companies like Ellusionist and Theory11 charge if you live abroad, eBay's a useful tool. Nothing illegal about the purchase...

Not certain, but I think the bit you're missing is "because of this, I named the cards...". :) They're a really professional looking deck, and I actually disagree with some people. Don't remove your name. They're not primarily for magic, they're for commercial and advertising use, I'm...

It would be great to be able to buy from a real shop, and talk to pros, etc. If I had the option, I'd probably choose going to the shop itself. However, one obvious advantage the internet possesses over real-life shopping is the ability to quickly compare prices. It's much better to use the...

Agreed. It's like recommending a car for someone. Everyone has their individual needs. Go with whichever deck you want. At the end of the day, it doesn't matter which deck you have, it matters what you do with it. I wish more people would realise this. -Sam H

I disagree with the general consensus here, that you should learn the pass. Not a good idea, in my opinion, and here's why; The pass is very effective, yes, but you have to provide ample misdirection to pull it off. Now someone's gonna yell at me and say something along the lines of "if...

Agreed. Besides, any serious trailer that's edited in what looks like Windows Movie Maker and filmed in an unprepared dining room with shoes laying about cannot be taken seriously - not by me, anyway. -Sam H

Sorry, but why the capitalizing of the first letter of every word? And Cedric, mentalism is always a great option. If you haven't already, I'd recommend learning the Acidus peek. With some strong presentation, it'll kill. Plus, it's basically 100% impromptu. -Sam H

Hey guys, I've always loved the coin matrix effect, and I was wondering which you would recommend? I'd like one that doesn't include gaffed cards or coins please, just a little something that can be performed with any deck of cards, and any coins. Any powerful routines out there...

If anyone drops out, I live in the UK too, and I'm willing to contribute. :) -Sam H

Very nice, I must say. Has this been done before? As in, a card warp so direct and to the point? -Sam H

I have this too, and it really is as good as it sounds. If mentalism's what you're into, then this book will develop and improve your arsenal tenfold. Worth $80? By far. -Sam H

I was thinking along the same lines. I've always wanted one, there are some really beautiful vanishes using pulleys. :) Enjoy. :) - Sam H

I think your avatar is scary as hell. Nah, in all seriousness, I thought the performance was good, it's clear you've put lots of practice in. If you want to make it look even better, I'd suggest; - When you reach the display, pause. Show it off. It's called a display for a reason - so it...

Sounds good. :) Could you provide more details though? For example, what the set is? Cheers man. :) -Sam H

I. Love. Magic. It's true :) -Sam H

Haha, brilliant. Imagine doing that one in the streets... *Watch, as I swallow the half-dollar... And, now, please could you hold out your hands?...* -Sam H

I think the reason people are kicking up a fuss about the fact he's working with E is because he explicitly said the Ultragaff would be his last release with them. Either way, it doesn't bother me. Looks like a promising release. :) -Sam H

Sorry, my mistake. Never mind my post. -Sam H P.S. I thought There Will Be Blood would be quite a deep film, perhaps quite thought-provoking and conceptual. I realised after it wasn't either - but just plain boring. I'm not a fan.

The only thing I can offer for this situation is Kevin Ho's Bob Change. Check it out and you'll see what I mean. -Sam H

I was thinking along the same lines. I haven't logged in for three days and discussion has turned to Theory11 now being a magic-themed television channel. Wow. -Sam H
