Time flies by, When you stare at me, For this answer, Listen close to any David Blaine parody. (Watch, watch, watch...) Why I exist, No one knows. As time goes by, Your memory of me goes. But we'll meet again soon, Luckily, Cause without me, You'd go crazy. (Dream) I can be a film, A dream...

This is such a semantic aarguement that it doesnt really matter, but I feel the need to settle it anyways. "Misdirection" vs "Direction" are actually essentially just named differently because they are focussing on 2 separate parts of the same thing. Misdirection/Direction are used to get...

...You open with one of your strongest pieces? :S Cheers

I'll do this..

You have to understand that being a magician is a very unique things. People will always remember the first magician they saw, because its such a moment for them. Magic is a powerfull tool; the ability to suspend disbilief is something we dont quickly forget. So no matter what the talent or...

I think this is a phase we all sort of go through, and come out of. I feel that whether the technique is complicated or not really isnt an issue, so long as it looks natural. What we have to make sure we do is that the presentation makes it feel simple though. I feel that we should try to use...

I disagree. I've personally got a lot of points as to why I think he's fake. I dont think Mark is a laymen, he's for sure a card magician, and he's alright at what he does. That said, there's a lack in continuity in some of his videos between his ability to handle cards. I think he's an...

Obviously it's invisible.. It's not really a move. You're just shuffling a certain card to the top; there's nothing to be hidden. That said, for this to work as a control, they must be convinced that there's no way you can have control of their card. Personally, I dont think a single riffle...

Every so often I feel like my thumbs or fingertips are a little smoother then I'd like them when it comes to dealing with cards, so I know where you're coming from. Personally, when this happens, I just rub my hands on my jeans a little bit and it seems to fix the problem..

Actually, I live in Quebec. Northern Canada.. Not exactly humid or really hot around here. Dont sweat much at all either. I just work my cards pretty hard. Constant toying with them and putting them in pockets defs doesnt help, but oh well. There's a reason I've got bricks upon bricks of...

Woah! Woah! I think people are missing the point here... YOUR CARDS LAST YOU A MONTH?!?!?! WHERE CAN I BUY THEM?? Honestly, I wreck decks of cards in a couple days at best... I just have a drawer of all old cards, and any time i think up some effect that involves cutting cards, I create...

Thanks for the reply, and compliments. It means a lot... I've actually spent a lot of time studying Chevrier's stuff (check out my other videos to see my work on his stuff). Which addition are you talking about though? The one after after the asciano spread? That's just a weird little thing...

Recently I posted this video: http://media.theory11.com/3315-Invisible-Palm-Applications Its something I've been working on for a while, and I was just wondering if anyone has any additions or ideas to add to it. I'm liking it so far, but I'm just wondering what other people's thoughts on...

Can you open in quicktime? Quicktime Pro has a convert to .mov option...

Something I filmed nearly 2 years ago that you may enjoy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=infpIRExOAw

Something interesting that is semi-on topic here is that when messing around with a deck of cards, I've noticed (and I've heard some pros talking about this same fact) that playing with a red deck of cards actually attracts more attention then toying with a blue deck. So if you're standing...

I have often been called a move monkey; I learn hard moves and I work hard on making them clean. I learn hard moves for, seemingly, the sake of learning hard moves. On several occasions, this had led to discussions with people who are firmly set in the point of view that what you're performing...

Why are more people not reading Tony's blog! ARGH! http://www.doublefacers.com/2008/11/lesson-1-visual-noise/ Go look at that, its similar to what youre talking about. Then come back. Read the rest of his blog while you're at it. Cheers, Lucas

Good point Zach. I think it would serve EVERYONE here to read Darwin Ortiz's Strong Magic. He talks about this EXACT issue in his chapter about kicker effects. If it doesnt add to the effect, it takes away from it. Also, I'm surprised no one has mentioned BoxBack (Tomo Maeda) found in 5x5...
