    Imagination

    OH, I got one - maybe you could have a card selected...then shuffle cards face up into face down...and then when you spread them - nothing happens. The deck is just a mess...I bet it would fool magicians. How about this one - you pretend to take someone's nose, like when they were a...

    Why do YOU perform?

    Not that I am surprised, but this thread is a real eye opener to the kind of people attached to magic and this forum. Tommy Wonder, in his second Book of Wonder, starts off the book by telling a story about magic as a women. I wish I was not on the road right now, so I could be more accurate...

    Imagination

    You want crazy imagination? I want to be able to walk into a room full of people...snap my fingers...and everyone in the room starts barfing - once that is over - I snap my fingers again and they are all instantly naked and the barf is cleaned up. I then have everyone think of a card - I...

    The most amazing trick...

    Thanks everyone - I am really glad you liked it - I was inspired to write it after visiting a magic shop...and found the ego's overwhelming. One of the kids behind the counter was performing a demo from Richard Sander's a new effect by him, and while people were watching, some guy felt it...

    The most amazing trick...

    the devil pulled was convincing the world he didn’t exist! I always liked that quote, and I hoped the subject got your attention - as I really want you to read my post. What you are about to read speaks ot the the changes that have occurred in magic over the past years – it used to be in...

    Magic as a Job

    I did magic for 8 years full time and used it to pay my way through College and University, I continue to do it 3 years later on the side...and it has helped me build my career...as both jobs I have connected with the companies, because of magic. Presently, I am a Finacial Advisor, but I do...

    Weekly Debates Finished...

    Hey Dylan - NEVER hated you - and I did love when you posted something from the mind/heart that provoked thought - weekly debate didn't do that - but now that it's out of the way...I am sure you will think of 100 great topics for you to discuss and ask people about...but now instead of a weekly...

    The Weekly Debate: #4 (Revised)

    Dylan - not accusing you of "stealing" or "plagerism" - I just accused you of being the between man - actually...maybe for now on, I can just PM you all the post I want to make - and you can post them for me? Every thread has a purpose - most of them are about information requests, the rest...

    Push Off Double Tutorial

    Thanks for being so kind Liquid - and for responding. I am not of the school of thought to, "not do something because it is too hard" - so don't mistake me for one of those guys. However, I do consider efficiency and practicality. Moreover, I have seen Josh miss on his attempt on a push off...

    Great Debater of The Week: Should we have one?

    I think it is because it acts as a form of thread bumping...all this clutter! I have seen good threads get pushed deep into the abyss, but the dumping of useless topics. If the organization was a bit better - or old threads got cast into a library/reserve section - then it wouldn't be such an...

    The Weekly Debate: #4 (Revised)

    Again Dylan - you are acting as a GO between...I love Steerpike's thoughts, but would rather have them attached to his name, than yours...but if he is okay with you representing his ideas...that is between you and him. Honestly Dylan - I am glad you are posting, but once again, YOUR...

    Torrents vs Selling

    Thanks Aria.SA - you nailed it, I just extended it - really...I am not going to say I haven't been given anything free...however, when I have - I REALLY appreciated it more, because it is NOT the standard. I know magic is expensive, but it's odd that some guy will download 100 vids...and not...

    Push Off Double Tutorial

    I hope you don't take this as disrepect Liquidsn, or a knock on your ability, as I really enjoy your blog, and it is obvious you put much effort into you magic and have a great mind about magic - I also agree with much of what you say about magic. I just wanted to talk about the weaknesses of...

    Torrents vs Selling

    Here is the thing - you pay for things that have NO value, but to the purchaser. Jerry's Nuggets for example, we all know aren't "WORTH" 150 bucks...but they are, because people are willing to pay for the right to own them and bid that price. Moreover, we pay the extra money beyond the...

    Great Debater of The Week: Should we have one?

    Your likert scale isn't exactly fair...having people not care is neutral in the formula...but really...imagine if the question was posed for your audience...DO you want me to continue doing magic? If you got a "I don't care"....that shouldn't be taken lightly...I think people be...

    The Weekly Debate: #4 (Revised)

    Why would be PM them to you, when we could just create a thread ourselves? Honestly? I find it funny how you are trying to be a go between for the posters and their topics. How about...the forum goes back to normal - people post topics, and we can dicuss them. If you have a good topic to...

    The Weekly Debate: #4 (Revised)

    I don't hate you... Nevertheless, what I do hate is the empty string of topics that have empty room for growth...then an arbitrary "winner"...as if everyone else's posts are worthy of praise. I thought in the last debate, there were a few others worth a nod. Lastly, maybe take more than...

    The Weekly Debate: #4 (Revised)

    Haha - you can do magic and have no social skills...you honestly believe every magician has social graces - a large part of this forum is a perfect example on the opposite! "You have to like going up and talking to people"...ummm, half right...the other half? They have to like talking to...
