If he says there is no gimmick and there is a gimmick he is going to look like a horse's rear end after releasing this. I very seriously doubt he is going to blow smoke up our rear ends considering he has no history of doing this. How about we wait until it is released before passing...

Congrats Kevin! Enjoy your call and let us know how it went. I am sure there will be plenty to talk about =) --Jim

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 Most impossible looking change I have ever seen with no gimmick involved. --Jim

They tried that here with Lee Asher's Witness release and people were bickering left and right because the entire routine from start to finish isn't shown. It was probably the method hunters making the most noise but I remember clearly there were quite a few people complaining that a certain...

Sounds like Iron Chef but for magic =) Sounds like a neat idea to try someday. --Jim

Awesome review Sean! If I hadn't already pre-ordered my copy from Kaufman I would have ordered it immediately after reading this thorough review giving detail on every effect within the book. I will let you know which are my favorites when I am done crawling through it =) --Jim

Actually that wasn't pointed at you....not sure why you thought it was. --Jim

Performance DVD is an excellent idea to give with a book or notes. At the very least it shows the timing of sleights and movements which can be very hard to pickup from printed effects. Eventually you figure out the timing but it takes a few flubs before it sinks in =) You could also include...

Anytime. I would really be interested in hearing how this goes. If you get a chance down the road drop me a PM or kick this thread back up to give us all an update =) To the peanut gallery acting as useless as ever: Yes there is more than cards, yet I see your suggestion strangely absent. I...

Nopers. I want to see original thoughts that are your own. What I don't want to see is half-baked ideas or a trick that is 10% different than a trick that came out a year ago. Generally speaking notes are cheap and there isn't much lost when you buy a crappy set of notes. The risk you run is...

Because your internet provider dynamically assigns IP addresses to their clients there is no way for you to prevent this without going iinto a business class agreement which gives you a static IP address. In all honesty your IP shouldn't be changing that quickly because there is a lease on each...

I would want to see original and creative thinking on effects that have been time tested on real world audiences for an extensive period of time. If you or anyone else is contemplating releasing notes you can ask yourself one simple question before releasing them: "Would you buy these...

A similar topic came up on the Magic Cafe awhile back regarding a guy who wanted to teach the basics such as color changes and the like. It didn't go too well mostly because the guy had very little experience in magic to begin with and because many felt that he had no right to teach the effects...

Sounds good Paul thanks =) --Jim

Is anyone seriously surprised that someone performed this the very next day after learning it? I am glad you got a good reaction. Personally I think you got lucky or your audience wasn't quite as scrutinizing as most are these days. Not bashing you in all honesty, I just think you made a...

I am assuming backpalming is in the first volume? I decided to creep over to the edge of the roof without jumping off and mix in about 20% of my time dedicated to manipulation and getting a few more sleights down. Jeff is certainly my first choice to learn this from so I might dive in. --Jim

I am sure many are interested in the turnaround time on something as in-depth and involved as this type of video training. From the time you requested your first video how long did it take to get it into your hands? Thanks. --Jim

Seeing as you need to use your hands to perform Stop, no you can't perform them both at the same exact time. Back to back certainly, which is well covered in the video. --Jim

My wife is a nurse (RN) and it fooled her. I didn't do the full performance but just a test so the entire scene wasn't even set and she was still fooled. She has been in nursing for the past 5 years so take that for what it's worth. Given the tips that Wayne and Danny both offer I think this...

The movie is approximately 956Mb so you are going to need a DVD burner and the applicable type of blank DVD's you can use with your burner in order to copy it. --Jim
