The exposure on sites is extremely sensitive. Because tipping just the right details will ultimately lead to the exposure, so instead of avalanching best for all members to be aware of the circumstances. Ever watch a video and try to figure out how the trick works and stuff, admit it. We ALL do...

Probably on an unconscious level, your hands will automatically release at the same time over the course of a few years of practicing the corner grip and releasing with the thumb. But remember there are more than one way to get distance off the spring. Hand following technique and understanding...

Not really sure how releasing them at the same time is possible. The propulsion must come from something, if you're releasing at the same time it just becomes a flat drop really. There's gotta be a snap in the launching of the cards in order to get ANY distance at all. Hot shot cuts and long...

Best to let the thumb release first. The reason for this is the learning process is easier and you can learn springs faster. With launching with the thumb you can kind of use your stomach as a cushion if you should happen to mess up, the cards will head towards you and not away from you. De'vo...

Hahha.. "I think I just crapped myself" award? Kinda got a ring to it.

Of course magicians and people with skilled eyes will always notice more things than a laymen and react more to the little details of moves executed. I usually stay away from the buck style cause it focuses too much on impressing the community rather than impressing the laymen. What can you...

Make a fan, ask the closet person to you if that fan is juggling. The biggest miss conception is that XCM will detract from the act of magic. In reality if only adds to it. It shows your creditability as a performer and "master" of your art. It's hard to take a person who's fumbling with...

Not exactly pretty, or worth while. But if you really want to learn it Jeff Mcbride's Art of Card Manipulation has it in Volume 3. Get the Lepaul Spread down first and experiment with different positionings for the thumb.

Work smarter not harder will also apply here.

I like the fan back design way better than circles. Do a six packet display cut and you'll see what I mean. Giant fans look WAY better with this deck as well and perching displays can look at lot more complex as well with these types of backs. Blue is my favorite cause under some lighting it...

I'm not sure if it's an absolutism to say, "Learn Everything in Both Hands" be reasonable with it. One-handed cuts are givens, always good to learn in both hands. Personally I think it's a waste of time to learn fans in both hands both ways both directions the only reason why this would be...

Probably best to stick with the original Daryl method anyway. In a routine you might get confused and accidentally bring out the card for a hotshot cut when you didn't mean to if you use some other cut like vertical spin, thumb cut, or scissor cut(which is what Dante King uses and calls the...

Fanning powder? Any time is a really good time, you'll definitely notice differences when you apply powder, don't think this is an instance restore to a brand new deck, cause it's not. Fanning powder makes the sliding of card against card a little rougher but smoothly so the deck acts as unit...

Although this is a hobby and whatever you do with your hobby should be your business, but I'll have you know a lot of magician get their stuff criticized extremely too. "You shouldn't use that patter, why you performing this effect it's pointless cause it came from ______. Stop copying David...

The problem is that, no one is willing to step outside of a their bubble and give themselves some variety every once in a while. While calling everyone: "n00b" isn't exactly in good taste, I will agree that people are narrow minded and aren't open to new ideas and tend to want to have everything...

The thing that I'm worried is I'm not being clear in trying to help Longman out here. Making people laugh wasn't part of my agenda in this post, I'll save those for other posts where dancing midgets and girls leaning to take a sip from a handicap water fountain are present in discussion. Since...

I'm not talking about the LOL. I'm asking why did he laugh at the statement. "Proper alignment comes from being able to get your fingers to stretch in such an awkward fashion." I don't find anything humorous in this statement at all. I'm pretty sure everyone in the forums knows what LOL stands...

I don't get it, your going to have to explain this one to me.

For practicing. A place where dropping cards isn't a problem, some place with carpet and stuff. Music is always good as it provides inspiration but mix it up from time to time something you could dance to is music I always practice to. Practice everyday, at least 10 solid minutes is enough to...

What is the secondary format that is acceptable and would be the most helpful before I go and use a format that's hard for the T11 to handle? I know Quicktime is preferred, but that's unavailable to me at the moment.
