The patter, presentation, and plot are mine. If I found out where the method was originally contrived I would credit that individual as well where and if necessary. I would research my method and plot to check the originality of it before sharing it with another magician. I have no obligation to...

That is insane! Great detail and nice work you got done there =) --Jim

Direct from Kaufman: "Books are in process at the printer now. We are looking for a mid to late February ship date." Jan 17, 2008 Then this post on Genii: "No deadline on the pre-pub yet, and slight delays with both books, and New Jinx is now at a different printer." Feb 01, 2008 I...

Been a busy weekend sorry for getting in late on the discussion here :( When I first started out I learned by books and through personal instruction from "that uncle" who knew a few tricks. This was quite a long time ago and well before there were videos to teach sleights that were as widely...

Many of you may know Wayne Hoffman from the TV show Phenomenon. He also happens to live nearby where I live so this story made the local news this morning. This story is for those of you who feel you have trouble finding that moment to perform or for someone who just enjoys a great story that...

Greg, While I can see you put a great deal of effort into this essay it covers entirely too much and goes in too many directions to really have a decent discussion on any one thing you brought up. You could have written a very well thought out essay entirely on misdirection or sleight of...

If that is your style and it suits you then it is what it is. It is not really much different than guys who do strolling or restaurant magic. Most of the time I do 2-3 effects for a particular group, then do 2-3 different effects for another group. I let the magic do it's job at that point...

It was quite a bit cheaper when the US dollar was a bit stronger than it currently is. I am waiting it out until the dollar comes back around because I think it is close to double what it used to be right now. --Jim

White and nerdy....

This was originally in the "About this video" section: 1. IT WILL BE RELEASED LATER THIS YEAR 2. IT IS NOT A GIMMICK; ANY TWO CARDS FROM ANY DECK CAN BE USED 3. KEEP WATCHING It has since been removed. How about we stop discussing how it's done in a public forum now? Thanks.

Steerpike is a Forum Kung Fu teacher. If you ever are in need of some forum kung fu just PM him to ask for guidance. --Jim

Unless you are a serious card enthusiast or card collector I would say your $100 could be better spent elsewhere considering your are just starting out. Personally if I was your friend I wouldn't try and sell you a deck of Jerry's knowing you were a beginner....it's like buying a Schoolcraft of...

Troy just so you know...there are no 'hoods' in Canada, only igloos and hockey. That was RebelAce getting into character to save face for his American friends =) j/k before any Canadians and people in Minnesota get upset about living in igloos and keeping hockey alive for the rest of us to...

Very nice work Sean. I would definitely recommend this to be stickied at the top of this forum for all to reference down the road, provided it continues to be updated. --Jim

I would rather have their compilations on an 8-track. Seriously though, books take an incredibly long time to put together and get everything just right. Not saying it wouldn't be worth their time but I just don't see it as a fit here. Given the 1-on-1's are eventually going to pile up to...

I know of at least two people who said this, one of them I actually believe. Would it be right to tell people you have come up with a similar way of doing the same effect? Sure why not? Would it be right to tell people how you did it? No I personally think that is completely underhanded and...

Echo....echo....echo.... As far as I can tell his friend didn't expose the method by which he accomplished his interpretation of the change. In fact he says several times in other videos that he is against exposure completely and recommends learning directly from the original creators. Novel...

Considering I am quite a bit older than you I guess you can forget about being too old. I started at a younger age than you but I didn't take it seriously until I was older than you are now by about 10 years. I would take how long most people say they have been in magic with a grain of salt...

That guy has some great videos and I love the fact that he credits the artists he has learned from or been inspired by in the video notes. --Jim

Shane, I wish you well man. You have always been a positive person around here and contributed quite a bit to making things around here better. I am sure the decision didn't come easily but I am also sure that you know what is best for you. Take care bud and remember magic is always going...
