I think you understood my response the way I intended it to be read. In that sense, I couldn't agree more with you. That was my point when I said "Magic books are such a thing of the past which is sad." As a High School English Teacher I notice every day that people want to take the easy...

Read my latest edited post.

This is what youtube says about copywritten material: ::EDIT:: After much searching I stumbled upon this e-mail (which by the way, youtube has no real contact e-mail for problems. They make you go around to all kinds of loops in order to have a simple issue resolved)...

I am not sure about this or not, but if we flood youtube with complaint e-mails for exposure of a trick, wont they take it off? I'm not sure but think that it would violate the copyright laws maybe? I will check into it. If I find out more information on it I will let you all know. It is...

Didn't I say that already? :D

My opinion on Youtube is simple. Don't expose a trick that costs money! Simple double lifts and such things you can look up at the local library. Magic books are such a thing of the past which is sad. I notice it everyday at my work, where my students do not want to read anything. They want...

The transpo in my opinion is not only harder to do, but much more elegant. I like the look of just dropping the cards and in a blink of an eye the card has changed. I still can't get it down completely yet to where it is all in one single motion (which I have worked on it for a while) which is...

Regardless of the trick he was looking for. If you are interested, Check out Mathieu Bich's Eject.

Blaine's book Mysterious Stranger is very good. It also has a few refrences to other books that you can check out as well. I also enjoyed Houdini on magic. It has excerpts from his actual writings as well as many tricks and escapes.

So far my favorite has been the S.W.E Shift. Chris has some great tips for advanced handeling. Well worth the money.

It has already been said several times, but, it all depends on what your personal preference is. I like using a thinker card stock for flourishes, but not so much for tricks. I also like the cards to stay smooth. If you're going for durability and smoothness I would recommend DB Lions. They...

I would like to see the trick G used on D+M. :)

No worries. I was a little confused by your post. But it was good anyway, it allowed me to get a few things off my chest as well.

I do like them. I think it is funny though that when I do tricks with a deck from T11 or E that they are "Trick Cards". Even though most of the original Bicycle decks are the ones that are mostly Gaffed. The original ghosts are very smooth, which I like. I hope these ones are just as...

They were sold out here for a while and I had to buy the 1st edditions off ebay. I loved the way they felt, I was a little weirded out by the D's though. I felt the same way about Blaine's Lion decks too. Regardless, I loved how smooth they are and the bends in them do not last as long as...

First of all why do I feel like I am getting attacked? Second, I think forced may have been the wrong word to use. But I don't neccissarily take it back. I simply ment that it helps magicians think more outside of the box. If a layman has seen an effect exposed before, then they will not...

He has a point at the end. It is forcing magicians to come up with better tricks and get rid of some of the oldies. I am reminded of tricks, especially the ones using trick decks like invisible deck, svengali, and blizzard. Interesting.

From what I was told, those who pre-orderd before October 9th will recieve a free deck of Guardians. Because of shipping problems from France, I think all the shipments were delayed a week.

I don't even think that many people are even going to watch it. How many people checked out the DB: Dive of Death Special? Not many. I haven't even heard anything on the television about this yet. In fact, the first time I heard about it was on here. However, bottom line, exposure is...
