I acknowledge that his response was somewhat immature, but this 'trick' is truly the biggest pile of excrement to have come out in a long time. I can understand his frustration.

Yeah I actually pulled my eye right out of my head, and it rolled onto my cheek. It got me great reactions from the spectators though, so it was worth it, and it only took 2 months in hospital to fix. ACTUAL. LOL. Seriously though, needing glasses because of thread? Are you high? The need to...

This community is a part of the problem I'm afraid. That and YouTube. What people do is they sit down with a DVD.....and they practice sleight of hand for hours, days, weeks, months, years. They then are faced with a huge problem. No matter how hard you practice, no matter how good you are at a...

Quoted for so much ****ing truth it actually hurts. My thoughts exactly. "I always bite through balloons" because that's less ****ing fishy, lol. Please. When I blow up a balloon my saliva always ends up outside the balloon. And when I ram a phone into a balloon I can only show you the -top-...

Look fact is, if you guys haven't had an orgasm over a deck of cards there's something very wrong with all of you. ;-)

There's a compilation of all the volumes of Huggard's stuff going for about 18 bucks on Amazon. It's absolute gold.

LOL. Sure the performance needs work on this effect, but I don't think that was the point of your video, I'm assuming you wanted to show people the effect. To be honest I thought this was going to be the usual drivel that tends to get thrown up here, but as the core idea for an effect this was...

Frankly this is a great effect and a real worker, and Aaron Fisher is a breath of fresh air from all these sleight focused, trick's speak for themselves type DVDs. What he teaches you isn't just the trick, but almost all of the basics as to how to be a good performer and an effective...

Look if you aren't willing to spend more on the shipping than you are on the cards, then you're just not magical enough to be here. ;)

Well in response to my somewhat scathing comments regarding the demo video for this effect, Cameron sent me over a free copy of Driven and some of his other effects (which I will review when I've had a chance to practice them enough to perform them. Early indications are though, this guy...

I think that's caused by the fact that most magicians put themselves in the awesome category, despite the fact that they can't answer the question. My attitude is, if you can't explain to someone how you construct your act to make your magic hard hitting and knock people's socks off in simple...

I agree with every sentiment in your post, but nothing in your post tells anyone how to make an effect their own, or how to convince someone that something is awesome. What third level thinking do you use in your magic to convince people of the above?

What the above guy said. This is totally different. It's totally impromptu. I got this a while back and let it rip on a friend of mine with his deck of cards. (I did tell him I intended to destroy one) and it blew him away completely. This is a really strong, original effect that works live...

I'm not saying I'm not going to get it, lol, I was just wondering if he gave the Strike Change some credit somewhere?

They came through alright. I'm willing to suspend my disbelief so to speak.

There are just simply some things that you cannot do with sleight of hand alone, and thus need a gimmick to do. If you don't like gimmicks then you're restricting what you can perform, and for me, and I use both gimmicks and slieght of hand depending on the demands of the effect, the key...

You can do a double color change with the strike change method. As I said, I'm going to get this anyway because the handling is so smoothe and the deck changes are ridiculous. I'm not saying it is the strike change, but I believe that the mechanics of the move are indeed based on the Strike...

It's not my fault I haven't seen the effect. Its yours, because you don't believe that your effect would withstand the scrutany of someone watching a demo video. Fact is, the sort of person that's going to watch a demo 50 times isn't going to buy it, and people like me aren't going to buy it...

There's more to it than just an emotional hook. The whole thing has to work, from the second you say hello to the second you say goodbye. To use a topical example, look at David Blaine. He rolls up to someone, with a bit of an awkward weird manner, seeming a bit nervous, eyes invariably covered...

Er..... I have a -huge- problem here. You could do this effect using the exact same method as the -strike change- by Aaron Fisher, all that seems to have been added is a spin that covers the initial move.....which I admit is cool, and the guys performance is amazing, but I'm somewhat sus as...
