Beans25 that's really clever! I never would have thought to do that

Great post! I assume your personal preference wouldn't be to use Bicycle Pro Poker Peeks, as they do alter the face of the cards. I'm sure your sentiments are shared by others in the industry as well. Personally I would imagine that if I used those in a routine that the suspicion would be higher...

Yeah, that's generally what I do too. I don't like to though. The Blue Crown blog explains my sentiments better that I can: "If an audience sees you pull out a different deck of cards each time you do a trick, they’re not going to think, “Wow, what a great magician!” They’re going to think, “I...

I love theory11's custom decks and I always have. I feel like as far as quality goes they always push the boundaries. They always look and feel great. I think the magic world needs a deck of cards that takes a step forward functionally as well. Jason England, Darwin Ortiz and others talk...

Fan through the cards, find the aces and put them on top of the deck. Don't make a big deal of it just do it. Then shuffle the deck a couple of times retaining the 4 aces on top, execute one or two of the false cuts taught in the book and your set. You'll be surprised at how much they'll let you...

Maybe I should change the word I used from "commenting" to "reviewing" because I can see my meaning wasn't clear. If I taught my effect "Unbuttoned" to a group of magicians in a lecture I don't see any problem in mentioning that "Unbuttoned" is also on the Wire. If they like what they learned...

I sent you a PM

I noticed that the number is written the wrong direction. Is there a reason for that? If you look at a card from the back side it should be backwards right?

I can understand what everyone is saying. Somebody could totally sabotage an effect without even knowing the method and that is not fair. My question is about those who the creator has taught the effect to free of charge, outside of the Wire. Is it worth it to deny them the privilege of...

What is your creative process? After looking at your Wire contributions it looks like you have improved on classic principles and made them your own. Where do you find your inspiration?

It is very funny. I love your comics they are sooooo true!!! Keep it up:) (Comics do read from left to right top to bottom though)

I don't mean to be rude but I would bet that the Si Stebbins stack is used more. It's been made more readily available. I'm also curious on the applications of Mneumonica

Jay Ose false cut is nice as well.

If I'm not mistaken "Psychological Subtleties" by Banachek covers aspects of persuasion. I was actually thinking about purchasing that book. Does anybody have any more info on it?

Veeser concept is one that could be used in place of an Elmsley count

Ref4m is probably the most practicle TNR out there. I know that there was a trick called the less than one card trick as well that is pretty nice as well.

I must have missed it, how is the winner determined? Is it like a raffle and every point is a different ticket?

There is a lot of good stuff in Spanish out there. Much of what Juan Tamariz and Dani Daortiz have published are only in Spanish. If I could get my hands on their stuff I could have enough for a life time. While we're on the subject I really love that they have not released much of this...

I know what you mean, the reactions never get old!

Harary is a wonderful creator of illusions. From my understanding Harary is known for his creativity. It is well known that he has created illusions for many popular bands and musicians. Haray has actually created some of the illusions that Copperfield has used such as the sawing in 9 illusion...
