Bingo! Where is this man's prize?! Seriously it wasn't even funny. I am not a huge fan of either of them. If Angel wants to impress people perhaps he could just perform magic and let it speak for itself instead of dogging other magicians. --Jim

Pretty disappointing the way this all went down and the owner of the store is getting hate mail over this. An apology to Morgan would be in order as well, not sure why his name was ever mentioned in the first place. Sorry man, I call it like I see it. --Jim

One of the best DVD sets I have ever bought, period. Josh's column is one of the main reasons that I bought a subscription to Magic magazine. --Jim

I went through at least that many decks while learning it on my own without any instruction. The best advice I can give you is don't force the cards into the faro, making contact at a slight angle without forcing it. You shouldn't have to push the decks into each other until they are separated...

Jason Messina stated that the method was original, it does use gimmicks, it will come with the gimmicks to perform it and it will be $35. If you think you know the method and it is unoriginal I suggest you challenge his statement directly on the Cafe or contact him through the astonishment...

Spot on... Then again summer school might be more attractive because you will have more audience members to practice on when you repeat the course you flunked because you were doing magic during class instead of paying attention =) All depends on which side of the coin is more attractive...

When I was learning to faro shuffle I went through about 4 decks in a few weeks. When I am not trying something new I would say a deck lasts at least a month bearing in mind I am not a flourisher and only do card magic. I have also given away a number of decks to people I perform for on...

I wrote this review over at Elmwood Magic the other day: http://www.elmwoodmagic.com/?nd=reviews&search_realsku=3294&search_keywords=fordisplay If you want a clip that just goes around your cards and looks fancy but does nothing more you can go with the E card clips. --Jim

Stephen you are quite wise sir and said it much better than I could have after having about 8 tabs open on various things I was working on. The last thing I expected was someone to post a link from these forums that would do something like that to my browser. Hey there is a first time for...

Marc DeSouza's Shapeshifter and Danny Garcia's Ego change are my two favorite to perform but probably not the two I use the most. Side jog change and Erdnase I probably use more often than not. Shapeshifter and Ego Change always garner better reactions though when used as a finisher whereas I...

Wait until you have to open task manager to shut down your browser because it locks your browser from closing as well. Thanks dude you just made it to the ignore list on the forum. --Jim

Haha! My copy is at home and I couldn't remember if it was you or Peter who reviewed it but I even remember someone else reviewing something and calling it "Dan Army Bad".....you know it's bad when you have an adjective named after you.... --Jim

Tommy Wonder - Books of Wonder vs. Visions of Wonder. Now I don't own Visions of Wonder I only own the books. I am still reading the books but I plan to buy the DVD's simply to watch Tommy perform and make me feel like a little kid watching his style and presentation of the wonderful routines...

This was reviewed in Magic Magazine's January edition and man....I was reading the review one morning while drinking coffee and let me tell you, coffee through the nose is painful. Seriously anyone reading this stay away from it at all costs. --Jim

You want originality? Here is a fine example of it: http://media.theory11.com/1034-Andrei%27s-THE%27ME --Jim

Digital Dissolve - Theory11 ($44.95) Found here: http://www.theory11.com/tricks/digital-dissolve.php Nick Trost's Subtle Card Creations Vol. 1 ($40.00 releases early March) can get it here...

Actually I would want to hear "I have done my homework" because if I know for a fact you are doing something that has already been done by someone else I would be sure to let you know about it. I am sure quite a few people would like to hear "I have done my homework". There are plenty of people...

Or you could just learn 5 tricks and master them. You could gradually master 300 tricks and always be OK performing all of them or really sink everything into mastering just 5 effects and really putting together a nice plot and storyline around each of those effects. Hey, we all like to...

I am practicing performing..... --Jim

I think it is admirable you are interested in helping other magicians. I would just advise some caution that you do it knowing full well that someone might jump you for teaching material that people should otherwise be learning from the original source. I can understand why you think it...
