    Do the Bucks have good magic?

    You're forgetting the System and a bunch of other stuff they've come out with. Their magic may be flashy, but they do stress that that's their brand. (read the booklet in the Trilogy.) they point out that they don't expect you to go out and perform these tricks, but to take away sleights, ideas...

    My point exactly :)

    Open Source Magic

    Well if it works, then I'm extremely pleased about it, but understand that there is no legal requirement for Youtube to remove them. :)

    Open Source Magic

    You cannot copyright a trick. You can only copyright written word, video images, other images, etc. You can't copyright a routine on stage, or a way of performing something, which is what a magic trick amounts to. (Otherwise you'd have some joker copyrighting a performance of Hamlet.) The...

    Open Source Magic

    You can't copyright a trick. That's the biggest incorrect idea in magic. You can copyright text or video, but not a trick. The only weapon against exposure is respect and secrecy. I could go out and smash a tutorial for something tomorrow and claim I came up with independently and didn't...

    Portal from Andthensome question

    The trick here is to listen to what Dave says, lol. He says take everything below their selection and dump it, no more no less. If you have too many cards loaded on top the card isn't going to pop out no matter what you do, as the weight of the cards will restrict the move rather than the weight...

    Advocate by d+M

    This goes back to the point that this is not the be all and end all of card magic. You need to be a good performer to pull this off. If you can't perform with it, don't use it otherwise you'll get busted and ruin it for everyone else, lol.

    The Advocate - A Detailed Review

    I would like to stress that the Advocacte on its own isn't the be all and end all of card magic tools. Key to its use is performance. Don't get me wrong, it is a fantastic piece of magic 'technology' and is amazingly useful, but you can perform with it badly and you will get busted. You know the...

    Bicycle New Era Deck - 100% plastic

    And boy you can tell. Good luck trying to fan these bad boys, its like putting together a stack of unlubricated condoms and trying to separate them with 2 fingers. Yet miraculously they manage to slide all over the place. Drop a card on the deck and you have a mini routine. It will land there...

    Color Blind created by ME!

    Man they're just ragging on you. Whenever someone produces or attempts to produce something that didn't come from an established artist it's always 'crap' according to this forum. Personally I thought it was alright, and with some polishing and some stuff added it'll be a nice routine. Sure may...

    Voting Open: Created Sandwich Effect

    Yeah I still don't understand what the heck is going on, but the trick is awesome. lol. It's one of those that doesn't need patter. You flick a card into the air, catch it behind your back and its sandwiched between the 2 cards picked by the spectator. Enough said. That's dope, lol. Bees...

    Panic - Aaron Fisher

    Last time I did a review of one of his effects, I said he was becoming my favorite Theory 11 artist. This effect seals the deal. He is officially my favorite Theory 11 artist, because this **** works. It shouldn't, lol. It really shouldn't work. When I first saw the gaff I...

    So this has never happened... need some help

    I think it's a game their playing. They took those cards out of one deck and burnt them. Since then every time someone complains about it they take a set of cards out of another deck to replace the ones from the first deck and send them to the person, and so the cycle continues.

    True Astonishment... The Sequel

    Buying is for the weak. Real men just steal what they want. MWa ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Now that's a silly post. This set does look truly awesome though, but I'm glad it's not out for a while, lol. Otherwise I think my brain would melt. I will be getting it though. lol.

    The GOAT change?

    Yeah and all of that side there is nothing intrinsically difficult or unreliable about the goat change. It is knacky and takes practice, but it's such a powerful effect, you either think it's worth the time or its not. If you have to ask the question then you are already not sure if you're going...

    Tivo 2.0 and a pointless illusion

    I don't think it's so much a short cut as a desire to end with one card..... The problem is it looks whack. Lol.

    How long should a deck of cards last?

    If you practice a lot 2.5 weeks sounds about right to me. I don't have hugely sweaty hands but at the moment I'm putting in about 4-5 hours a day trying to figure out how to perform again with 2 immobile fingers. Lol. The fact is, cards are made of card, which are in essance a bunch of fibers...

    To all the young and hopefulls out there

    This is the absolute truth. The split second someone spends doing an effect looks effortless and magical because of the hundreds and thousands of hours spent practicing. There's a saying in martial arts. "The only difference between a beginner and a master is a million repetitions." That's...

    Change!

    Personally I think its all a scam. In part because he admits the first one was a camera trick, then there was another one which is clearly a gaffed card, then another one....blah blah blah. It has generated an awful lot of heat though, and everyone is massively interested in it, which is the...

    Autograph + TNR =

    This is ridiculous. People are pulling this apart without seeing it being performed. What a joke. I saw someone do a signed, multiple card tear up with all cards going to orange on stage, and it got a fantastic reaction. (Literally he had 5 people on stage, including a friend of mine.) The fact...
