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...

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.

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...

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...

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...

I may order nine or ten of them for that price!!! What a deal! Haha I really love your section on exposure...so much I can't wait to meet you one day - and physically show you my appreciation. Douche!

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...

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.

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"...

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 -...

RDChop covered some good stuff - so I will give you my feedback, since requested. Magicman1212 - realize you are still young and learning, so overall - realize, I think you did a good job for where you are at. That being said... Effect selection - your first effect was not a bad choice...

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.

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...

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...

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...

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...

Awesome---love searching my name and finding a "call out". Prove to the masses that you are a good magician! Prove to me (Toby), so I can release or confirm my insecurities about my own magic. HOW dare you challenge us (Toby and the like minded) to strive for better magic!! Listen...

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...

Medifro - hilaroius. TiVo version PIE, haha Anyhow, not bad - it has that Ryan Swiggert Kickback flavour.

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...
