Do you get annoyed with how stupid some of the questions on the forums are and how lazy people are who dont want to do any of their own research?

Yeah I agree. I cant find one review or one copy of anything he's "produced" even on ebay. If his stuff was legit, then I would think big name guys would be seeking this stuff out to do for tv specials or whatnot. Plus, we are magicians and we can generally tell when something is too good...

IMO, if all his stuff is legit, then he could probably be called the BEST close up magician of all time. Ive studied Jennings, vernon, etc, and none of there stuff is as clean as his, even in their own hands. Therefore, i dont think some random guy can just pop up on youtube and be the best...

i agree he stuff is to good to be true. If everything he came up with (which is a lot) was real, he'd be the next BIG name in magic, yet he doesnt sell anything he releases (probably because its not legit). Look at his "Flash" vanish, "Roddity", "360 Color Change", etc. He is practically...

doesnt look like anything too special, but i'd have to see the whole routine to know for sure. I have total faith in JM's material and I LOVE "autograph" and perform it all the time, but this doesnt seem to have that special sauce that JM normally puts into his products

if youre so obsessed with his work, i would think you would do a simple internet or forum search on his published material. Man, people these days are lazy....

is the only real difference between this and the Mind Power deck that the repeat force cards are less obvious? I love and use the MP deck. I just spread it out or fan it and have them look at one, but dont make it obvious, so that they wont look for long.

First, think of the desired effect you want create. Make it simple, straightforward and miraculous. Remember, most specs dont appreciate sleight of hand, they appreciate the EXPERIENCE that your magic creates. If it is confusing, or at least NOT straight forward, that will detract from the...

the secret cardini/ego change is what i use the most. during an offbeat, as soon as you make eye contact, just do the move. also, like someone said above, its pretty easy to get a break over the bottom card as you spread the deck from hand to hand, and flip that card as you square it up...

everything said above is true: practice the force even when you dont need to use it. that will help you develop the timing and confidence be ready with a backup trick if the force fails Green's dvd has some good info on casual ways to keep them from picking the wrong card without them...

an alternative to the DPS is to shuffle the "chosen" card to the bottom (or control it however) and use the gamblers cop as you raise the deck to throw with the right hand. No heat should be on the left hand that naturally falls to your side.

The two places where i found myself saying "WTF is this SERIOUS?" were when I watched Ray Kosby's Impossible Card Magic and some of the effects in BFU. The thing that really got me were the various palm to palm card transfers in BFU. Ive seen them done perfectly, otherwise I wouldnt believe...

its really not exposure. this isnt some patented trick. a basic shuttle pass witht the ring, then get the wallet with the ring hand and load it under or in the wallet as you take it out. You could pick up the wallet w/ empty hands and pretend to dump it out from the inside. If you think that...

advocate duplicate card double backer Xpert Sharpie (doesnt count as cards i guess, but i use it for card effects)

no its not at all.... one of the rules for the "perfect" acaan is that the cards are in view the whole time, and how could you possibly load that selected card that you get from the advocate to the correct position in the deck? if you loaded it to the bottom, you could do a bottom deal at the...

i read an interesting essay regarding the berglas effect, the "perfect" acaan. the essay proposes that the "perfect" acaan cant exist, and that the Berglas Effect's true amazingness is making people RECALL that the effect was perfect and clean. David Berglas is a master performer and audience...

good job thinking of this, and the more i think about it, the more different these moves really are. i just wanted to post the andrus vid since the thinking is almost identical, just executed differently. What do you mean by "push forward"?

not the same, but very similar: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I6xhgXsMkMI which one looks better?;)

my problem with palming is that my fingers arent fat enough to hide all the gaps even with them pressed together, so if i need a one hand top palm, i will lift the deck with my right hand to show it (and my empty hand), and on the way down and turning to the left, palm the card and drop my hand...

awesome review!!!!
