Ah, a good point well made, I hadn't thought of that!

Anyone who wants to communicate clearly and efficiently, anyone who wants to avoid appearing ignorant or lazy, and anyone who values the power and infinite subtlety of language. Spelling properly on the internet is like wearing a suit to an interview. It's not absolutely compulsory, but if you...

OK, here are a couple of areas: In your own description, you said you knew it was sloppy. It may seem obvious, but I would recommend practicing until it's not sloppy. If you know your own shortcomings, then you aren't likely to get any useful help from anyone else, as they will probably just...

From a business point of view, I would have thought that's pretty much the point of SNCs and other promotions.

"Nailing" cards during play is an ancient technique, as is crimping. I think these are the best known methods for marking cards in play. Regarding Blood and The Score, no disrespect to Daniel Madison, but, from what I've seen, they're just rehashes of old marking systems, nothing really original.

I think that should always be done afterwards. You'll have effectively auditioned for them with your performance, but you don't want to be blatantly pushing your services during your act, unless you can somehow make a (good) joke out of it. Otherwise it just lacks class! If you get a chance to...

Cool! Feel free to PM me when you've got something I can see.

You're fourteen? Fair enough then. By the way, is any of your animation or video work available online? I'd genuinely like to see it. That's not sarcastic or some kind of challenge, just in case you interpreted it like that, I've just got what you might call "a professional curiosity" about the...

I didn't think he used a force either, but given that the OP made the video, I imagine he knows the method! EDIT: And another thing. It's definitely not a weak effect. The presentation of said effect could be better, but it's pretty much direct mind reading, which is an extremely powerful effect.

Sorry, you've missed out the bit where you told us why this matters. Yes, of course, if Theory 11 were purporting to teach us After Effects, or to demonstrate their mastery of video production, then using someone else's tutorial would be a bit shoddy. However, the purpose of their output isn't...

As far as I know, that technique is a classic one, and I don't think anyone with a current published work can lay claim to it. Oh, and it's "grammar" and "grammatical". Sorry, I'm a pedant for that kind of thing. Don't mean to be patronising!

Most people think of 7 first. However, a lot is to do with how you ask for the number. If you give them time or motivation to change their mind, if you make them approach it as a challenge, for example, they're likely to go for a different number. If your participant really gets the impression...

Prevention is better than cure, so the best way to deal with rejection is to learn how to minimise it. You won't ever cut it out completely, but it can be reduced hugely. One key point is to gauge your audience before you even approach them. Are they busy, are they in a hurry, and so on. Maybe...

There's also an electric deck, or various other similar forms of gaffed deck, which can be used to achieve this sort of result.

Here are a couple of steps to get more viewers: 1. Decide what your main selling point is. Is there a particular move or trick you do better than anyone else, or have you created something unique? Do you have an interesting and original presentation for a particular trick? Or maybe there's...

Why have you done this? No offence or anything, but, it seems to me that if you don't have many people watching your videos then it's unlikely that many people will be that interested in asking you questions, or what your answers are to them. If you want to encourage more people to watch your...

In a few ways. 1. When someone (eg Brian Tudor, me, or you) puts their image and ideas into a creative work and sells it, they are tacitly offering said content for review and criticism. Every single bit of criticism, whether justified or not, constructive or not, represents a human being's...

Michael, as you've had a couple of anti-rant posts, I thought I'd chip in to redress the balance a little bit. I think you're doing the right thing by posting the links to your rants as new threads. You're clearly entitling them with the word "Rant", so if people don't want to read them then...

Short answer: No. Slightly longer answer: This is a more modern deck, with the all-over design, which is a lot more common. Additionally, the blue barcoded seal tells you that these have been used in play at the casino and resealed, so they will have their corners cut or be drilled.
