    Researching Magic - How do you get sources?

    You might like to check this out. I don't really know how much stuff you can do on their site, I think a decent enough amount, but if you can visit them you would certainly be able to learn an awful lot. http://www.conjuringarts.org/ Tom

    An open challenge

    Incidentally, check out his billiard ball stuff which I believe is floating around on youtube. It's mad. EDIT - Here's the link for convenience http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TkEsf92IM90 It takes a while to get started but stick with it and you'll be floored. Tom

    Misdirection

    I can't believe what I'm reading. Misdirection is by no means a tool used by those who lack skill, it's incredibly important. Quite simply you couldn't be more wrong, though i think I know why you guys have these opinions. That is true Namie, but what you have just given an example of is not...

    Do a search on youtube for Peter Marvey's manipulation act on World's Greatest Magic. He does it much better than I ever could. Tom

    Misdirection

    The example the first poster gave is a terrible example of misdirection, in fact it's not even misdirection. Misdirection IS incredibly important as many of you are saying, but it's not what many of you are saying. Good misdirection leaves the spectator with the impression that they were...

    I am looking for a new effect - Please help me out.

    Why is everyone suggesting single tricks, with a few notable exceptions almost none of them are worth the money. I would go for a book myself with lots of material for you to look through or at least a DVD with multiple tricks. Bill Malone 'On The Loose' for example is a fantastic series and...

    For my English GCSE...

    Hey Sam, From a guy who's been there and done a presentation for GCSE English (although the topic was chosen for me) I would say skip the performance, it probably won't get you any more marks on top of the presentation and it will waste time, let's face it, you have 15-20 minutes to tick all...

    Downloading Illegally

    I am completely against it. However, I did once download a copy of a DVD I had already paid for because of a delay that meant I wouldn't get it before I went up on holiday. Personally I think that's alright though if horribly impatient on my part. Tom

    Books vs DVDs

    Both media have their advantages and disadvantages. I personally just buy the material I'm interested in, whether it's taught on a DVD or in a book never comes into it for me. As it happens I haven't bought a DVD in ages simply because nothing has interested me, and yet the next thing I have my...

    Cull or Pass

    I would go for a variation on the cull by Marlo/Jennings known as the convincing control/immediate bottom placement. I give two names because it is Jennings' move, but it's credited to Marlo in most places. Tom

    The Invisible Palm

    My personal favourite is Bill Malone's version, it's very similar to Larry Jennings' version except for hte last card, Bill's method for which is amazing, the check out hte cards on the table, the card goes on the deck, palmed off, it has disappeared and the hands are empty and yet the cards...

    Sad but funny

    If you simply look at it as some kid mouthing off about good magic books then I can understand why you didn't enjoy it. But that's not the point of this video, by exaggerating examples of the kind of thing youtube magicians tend to do, he shows you how ridiculous these guys really are. It's a...

    Sad but funny

    If anyone needs any more proof that it's a joke (as if the content of the video alone wasn't enough) just look at the tags on the video, 'funny' 'stupid' etc. or even look at his account type 'comedian'. Man, if some of you didn't take magic so seriously and get angry so easily you might...

    (Another) Sandwich Routine

    That was very nicely put together and really smooth, I mean really really smooth. Nicely done. Tom

    Death to the Double Undercut // 1-on-1

    I agree, but you've missed the point. The reason so many people are getting upset with this 1 on 1 is that T11 will sell a glorified double undercut but nowhere on this site does it even mention one of the many great books or DVDs made by other people that would be a far more helpful for a...

    Death to the Double Undercut // 1-on-1

    I was going to write a post, but then I saw that creeper had already taken the words right out of my mouth. Buy this cut if you must, though I personally can't see why anyone would have a problem with the double undercut that's no reason for me to tell others they don't need this. What I will...

    S&M with no DDs on - Take a look!

    I think they look better without the DD, but I still wouldn't buy them if they were removed. Tom
