I'm inclined to say, probably not. And honestly, I don't think I'd have it any other way. As long as we are still looking for new knowledge, new wisdom, and new ways to better ourselves and our performances, we are accepting that we have not yet reached perfection, and are continuing to...

Odd. Those principles are currently used and have been used all over the world for centuries, by scores of performers in many different fields, for even more unnumerable audiences. And yet, you happen to live in the one place on earth where there are cynical jackasses who are insusceptible to...

That, right there, is the best trick you can ever do for any girl. If you want a slightly more extensive answer, here's what's up. Yes, you love magic. Yes, she's probably somewhat amused and/or entertained by the fact that you like magic. Notice I said "like" there. Truth be told, if you're...

Since you're a first time poster, I'll do the mods a favor and tell you to "Make sure to check out the forum rules here.". I'll let someone else point you to some good books on the subject though, as I don't quite consider myself knowledgeable enough on that to really properly answer it. I have...

Let me start off my third-ing Aaron. Audience control is key here, and really, you're going to have to start learning it eventually if you want to further your magic. These principles will help you not only to positively impact your performance conditions, but will also aid in your misdirection...

The move you are requesting is definitely possible. I'm not sure where you can learn it as I don't have any tutorials on it, but I've been using my own handling as a finisher for one of my routines for quite some time. Essentially, the move looks like an ordinary thumb-fan, with the target card...

On the offchance that I'm actually feeding the trolls here, allow me to reiterate what has been said in this thread, and add my $0.02 to it. As has been clearly stated in this thread (and many, many others), there usually is a reason that spectators will go heckler on you; suddenly, you (a...

The forums do appear to be down, while E's own website is definitely still up. Anyway, I'm sure the guys over there are aware of the problem and fixing it as we speak. That is, if they're not just migrating to a different hosting service or something. [Edit] I just remembered.. Didn't we have...

Thanks for the replies guys. Prae, Thanks for the kind words. I definitely know what you mean when you say that a lot of people seem to focus mostly on getting the hottest new tricks out there. On a slightly related note, I'd personally love to see some more theoretical discussion on these...

Hi, After having spend the majority of the last roughly 18 months learning and improving upon my sleights and tricks, I'm starting to take my first steps upon the next part of this journey. Being rather fond of the theoretical side of things, I want to start focusing more on deception...

I just wanted to chime in here because I think it's a very interesting discussion. Beans25, I agree that to have an intelligent, rational discussion on any subject, it's important to be able to present facts and reliable sources that back up your claims. However, I think that you might be...

Hi, Although there is no official stickied introduction thread, I still figured I'd introduce myself here since I decided to start taking on a more participating role on these boards. Actually, I'm not aware of any "official" introduction tradition here, but I wanted to get it out of the way...
