    The Average Joe Magician - A case study in banality...

    Steerpike - very challenging as of lately (or continually) - I find it off putting, perhaps it is just me, that you started to offer vague concepts in your thoughts, then when people ask for clarity, or try to interpret, you stomp on them verbally. You trash on your majority audience, and then...

    The Average Joe Magician - A case study in banality...

    Nice reply - thanks Alex. All makes sense - I can see the value. As for having wealth and artistic integrity...I see few with both...but then again, I see few good magicians...so, this would correlate. Off to make myself a name. Cheers.

    The Average Joe Magician - A case study in banality...

    Hi Steerpike, A few questions: It appears that your measure of "success" is financial outcomes? You may not have stated that, but perhaps alluded to it in the concepts of being "a name desired". However, many talented artists go broke staying close to their beliefs in an art...

    January 2009 :: From One Generation To Another

    I am not sure if it is an "age" thing, as much as it is an appraoch or generational thing. For example, I know a few 15 year olds that study magic like I have...and have done well in close up - however, I know some 15 year olds that are looking for short cuts. Much as in life appraoch...

    Todd Lassen Coins for sale

    Flydini - does this mean you are from Vietnam? Are you talking about pooping on a stick and hiding in underground tunnels, because I don't have time for that kind of play. Your display of (read LACK of) professionalism in promoting your own hack web site is AMAZING. Look at everyone above...

    Share Your Routines

    With the exception of Steerpike...how are these "routines"? A routine should have a theme...not just a list of three tricks you do together...hell...I would even accept - it offers variety of my magic...like, cards, coins, something different... Steerpike was also the only one that...

    Controversies in Magic

    Actually, I condensed the story...the son corrected Mr. James, then his father was the one to tell him off. Either way - a miseducation exists on fact vesus the urban legend of magic history/titles.

    Being Chased

    This is the problem with coin magic - it takes sequences to create confusion, as you are constantly playing the game - "What hand is it in" - when we claim to vanish something, it should look gone...we should not have to do a series of hand washing or displays that look unnatural to "convince"...

    Controversies in Magic

    Hmm...so let me get this right? It sounds like you are saying Limitedtimewarranty (to use your full name) that although magic has many issues - the best way to handle them is to realize they don't exist...or they DO...but the best thing is to do and say nothing about it? Here is the thing -...

    Opener Idea for Coins

    Nate Kranzo has a KILLER way to produce three coins - one from a flamed match, that turns into a coin - then another is lit...your hand flames from a fist...and coin 2 is produced...then after showing his hands empty...he makes a fist...smoke comes out...and coin 3 is produced. Sick.

    Solution For Sweaty Hands

    Okay - two sincere pieces of advice - one you may listen too, the other you may ignore or get upset about. If your hands are sweaty, you are nervous - try using talcum powder or maybe spray an antiperspirant on your palms (I have never tried the latter, but it should work in theory). This...

    Does Coin Magic...

    Give me a break Amazing!! More moronic replies that offer nothing more than a personal attack and an opinion that appears to full of contradictions! IRISHFBFAN1 - I have more people wanting to see coin magic than card magic. I must admit, I do more card magic, routines that is - hmm, this...

    Presentation / Story Teller

    Toby said: I completely agree with that, I also think that I have too many words, so i will try to trim that. You can also trim it if you want ;) About Scripting Magic and Strong Magic, I kinda have a problem with getting material on the house, because Strong Magic which cost around 40$ I...

    Presentation / Story Teller

    Hey Toby - I just caught up with this thread. A few things - we can talk more later, hope you don't see me as coming in to bash on you - just want to point out some things for your growth. Let me know how you feel. First - do you realize that 2CM (which the proper name is "be honest...

    Simple Card Trick to Teach A Friend

    One addition aznofspades - I see people overuse this - let me teach you concept - as they never really teach anything. This is okay once, but in a multifphase effect, there is a point where people say - hey jerkface, you aren't teaching me anything! The reason DB and P and T can use this is...

    Presentation / Story Teller

    Don't agree there Zeanator - sorry, walk around has room for plot and connected messages - straight to the point is a bit to "HA I FOOLED YOU". Now that Toby clarified and I understand your background - I would agree with Steerpike on this one. Especailly considering they were bagging on...
