    Totally Out of Control - Better left unreplicated?

    Yes it should. So why don't you just sell the book? I've never had any problems learning from it. See, so why make a DVD if it's already a book which you could have just stocked on your shelves and shared with everyone. Is it possibly because you know that a load of people are going to buy...

    Multiple Shifts

    Try Steve Draun's 'Tabled Multiple Shift' found in 'Secrets Draun from Underground'. A rather overlooked book. You do have to cut the deck, but the order remains intact as the cutting is false. Tom

    Biddle Trick

    I found a method for showing all 5 cards face up then vanishing the chosen card fairly without having to cop anything or whatever. The thing is, it uses a gimmicked card, which I then have to carry on me all the time I want to perform the trick. In addition to that the point where you remove the...

    Cups And Balls

    Paul Gertner's is much overlooked I think, but I love it. Tom

    I have been contacted by "Britain's Got Talent".

    Looks like they're looking for some better magic acts this year after the rather unfortunate acts last year... Tom

    Submersion vs Riot

    I don't get submersion... I mean, what's the point in the effect? Nothing particulalry interesting happens. It would be far better if the two cards stopped with one card between them which was a selection or something like that, but two cards just moving through the pack is not that exciting...

    False Shuffle

    Try Ackerman's Advanced Card Control Series Volume... oh man... 5? Might be a different volume, but the one you want is helpfully entitled 'False Shuffles' and covers all manner of false shuffles. Herb Zarrow's DVD Herb Zarrow on the Zarrow shuffle is the way to learn the Zarrow shuffle though...

    A different take on RIOT

    I don't know exactly what you mean by this, but if you are trying to suggest that because it's a download instead of a DVD Theory 11 is allowed to just release anything they like, good or bad, then I feel sorry for you. I'm sorry, but if they are going to release anything, whatever medium...

    A different take on RIOT

    Not really. The gimmick is small enough to palm off or cop or whatever and you don't have to attach it to the deck or anything like that. It's nothing like the invisible deck where once it's set up you pretty much can't do anything else. I reckon with some careful routining you could perform...

    A different take on RIOT

    Hey Guys, I know there have already been two reviews of this, maybe even more by the time I finish or some I didn't notice, but they both said more or less the same thing, and that was something I didn't quite agree with. I'm offering my point of view on this effect which you might like to...

    Riot 1-on-1 by Dan Hauss

    I think the basic idea behind Riot is pretty decent, however, there are a couple of things about it that i don't really like. For starters, with the tiniest alteration to the gimmick, clean-up can be made far easier and more convincing. In addition to that, some of the suggested routine makes...

    Kostya Kimlat Lecture Sun 26th

    I bought his notes a year or two ago then got to meet him back in february at a convention. He's a really awesome guy with some genuinely good material. Some of it, especially the triumph routine, is very hard to do, or rather, hard to do well, but if you can do it, it really plays well. You...

    What Is This Trick?

    Erm.... Not how I learnt it. Tom

    New to Magic

    I agree that this is a good idea, but with little/no experience it's not easy to choose the right tricks. Once you've learnt and tried a number of tricks, you get an idea what suits you, then you can start to focus on a specific type of trick that you know you will like from experience. Do...

    Just curious Rik, why do you say 3 or 4? Tom

    Akira Fuji Pass

    Er.... Feras, Howie Schwarzman is still alive... Kinda off topic but I thought I would throw that in there. Tom

    Worth

    There are many sites and many forums out there, all offering different things, don't dedicate yourself to one as you'll miss out. This is even more true of products, if you only ever buy stuff from one publisher you will miss out on more good magic than I care to think about. L&L, Kaufman &...

    New to Magic

    By learning from youtube you have made your job harder as you now will have to try and forget what you've learnt from these people who have no idea what they are talking about and relearn it the proper way. I second Chris' recommendation, but I will also put in a vote for card college by...

    Classic Magic of Larry Jennings

    Why not read the book cover to cover and discover your favourite items yourself. Making up your own mind about stuff is so much more fun than letting other people tell you what's good or bad. Tom

    Worth

    Depends how stupid the person buying it is. I probably wouldn't give you more than $40 for all three items, but then there are undoubtedly people out there who would pay a hell of a lot more. Tom
