I'm not going to vote, because I think you're both awesome, but the type of live magic is just too different to weigh it up fairly. Great performances by both of you though.

I voted for the other guy. Whilst I recognize that your routine was more complex and some of the ideas behind the effects were very good, the execution let it down. Just looked like it needed a bit more practice, whereas the slipshot was flawless.

He does go into the advanced handling on the DVD, which is actually a routine that lets you pretty easily go into panic. Or you just have it in your pocket and are set up if you know what I mean and just pull out the deck and begin the trick. I use it as an opener a lot, and as a result I just...

Some plastic Prestige cards from Bycicle. They handle closer to cards than any other plastic cards on the market and they are practically indestructible and completely water proof. It would be good enough if I was going to be stuck there for a year, lol. I can't think of any other deck that...

I was in Vegas over the new year, and I agree with the illustrious CEO of Theory 11. Copperfields show is absolutely jaw dropping. It made my new years day. Kids magic? wth? Anyways, I'd recommend going to see that show.

Evil is allowed to triumph because good men do nothing. That probably doesn't apply to you. You seem to believe that the right to comment, or indeed care about what this represents is limited to those directly involved, even though it clearly affects the entire community. It apparently...

I had a deck of these going spare so I burnt them just to deprive the world of their goodness. (True story involving the misguided use of flash paper) I saw them on site going for $150 for a new deck. That's ridiculous. Lol.

IT may not use dupes and is a very cool effect, but he uses a semi-dupe in the form of the ace of hearts for the ace of diamonds. So effectively a dupe, lol.

I bought Surfaced recently and agree that the Clip shift is a good move, but its just one move. I mean sure the Classic pass etc is all gravy years after the fact, but you don't see people posting threads extolling its virtues. It's just a utility move that you need to know. The Clip shift is...

This attitude really hacks me off. All you're doing is condoning the manifest theft of an idea. This trick was published when the publisher knew that the owner of the effect that the entire thing is based on is was disputing whether he could use it or not. The effect itself is about as inventive...

Yeah....looks like that's what happened. Unless you have extremely compelling proof of that fact (i.e. a contradictory e-mail from Steve Fearson written more recently than this one) then I'm not buying that.

Effects like this intrigue me so I'll probably be picking this up to save myself the likely insanity of not being able to actually figure out how its done without buying it. Lol.

Absolutely my point jt, thank you. The ring trick, moving the card, in fact most of it is seemingly accomplished by the Fearson hookup and a reel. Even the money flying from the table and into his hand can all be accomplished by the Fearson hookup. The only addition is seemingly the reel, and...

This post is directed at no one in particular, this is literally just me venting some anger over this one. I'm sorry but adding a fricking reel to a hook up is not novelty in my view. The hook up is why the effect works at all (and by hook up, purely for the sake of distinction, I'm saying the...

Erdnase's expert at the card table is a great book. The first person that taught me a magic trick told me it is the Bible of card magic and manipulation, and I have seen nothing since on DVD or any other format to convince me otherwise. And if you have never read Erdnase, or Huggard, or any...

It's like asking someone why they juggle. They do it because it looks cool and they find it fun. Lol. I don't flourish because none of that is true for me.

First I would like to say this was the best thread hijack in the history of thread hijacks and secondly I'd like to agree with a certain sentiment in this thread. We can dress up what makes us perform with stuff like, "Smiles" (Maybe we can add rainbows and sunny days to the mix too) or any...

Extreme burn is a good effect, but to be honest.....its laughable really. No moves...no cover....then you perform a move, lol. It's essentially the same effect, just requires something a bit 'extra' which to be honest, doesn't add as much to the trick as you're probably imagining it does. (But...
