Tells me I should have bought stock in companies who manufacture web cams. I am not sure it tells me anything about magic aside from the fact that technology is catching up with an art that has often been performed behind closed doors or for the paying public. Now you can simply load up a...

Yo guys....c'mon pick up the phone, get a conference call with all involved and hash this out. I think the impression is being given that there is some confusion even amongst the team at T11 and other individuals speaking on behalf of Steve as to what is even being done about this. My...

clarrus, I think it is important to stick to what is actually taught in the DVD instead of what is possible outside of the teachings and learned from other sleight of hand and CIB routines. That same scrutiny has been applied to other CIB effects so it should be equally applied here to this...

Thanks Clarrus. My question was really aimed at seeing if you could push the coin through the front of the bottle instead of the back and just watch the coin slide down the front side of the bottle instead of the back where the view is a bit obscured by the refraction of the water through the...

Can the coin be put through the bottle anywhere? Top, front, sides, bottom? Or does it have to be pushed through the back of the bottle? Does the coin have to fall or can you simple press it right through the bottle and show the coin appearing right where you put it through the bottle? I am...

I think this is a good idea if they book was laid out in a fashion that stayed coherent given the diversity of the artists involved here. Then again I am perfectly happy with Aaron, Lee, and Matheiu's newsletters that pop into my inbox from time to time. There really is so much out there already...

I would like to know more about this organization before considering joining it. So hopefully Daniel can stop by here now that he is an artist associated with this site and let us know if he intends to move forward with this endeavor and what the goals of this organization are going to be. I...

Aron, You will have to forgive my lack of comprehension here. You say you showed your "simple transposition" to Justin a few weeks ago right? Yet it has been said a few times that Justin has been working this routine for a bit longer than a few weeks? Correct me if I am wrong there. I also...

You can stick to speaking for yourself when you are going to make comments like this. I honestly find this way of thinking one of the biggest problems in magic today. To each his own I suppose... --Jim

Exactly. Likewise after lobbying alongside you for Steve's effect that entire ordeal has really changed my outlook on magic that is out there. I am much more apprehensive about new effects these days regardless of who releases them. I have to agree with you yet again entirely here Joshua...

Are you 100% certain of this information? I would think that the change is a very integral part of the routine itself. I would rather not see speculation misinterpreted as fact leading up to this release. Again though the idea of tearing up an indifferent card to reveal their chosen card as...

Ty, I don't know that it has to be better than Torn in all actuality. It is different than Torn in the handling by quite a bit. What I like the most about Torn is that the card is immediately handed out in a natural fashion after it is restored. The difference here is that I have seen the...

That reply wasn't directed at your post. It was directed at the quote listed in the top of my post. --Jim

4 years active Air Force combat communications unit, deployed to Iraq for a year total over two years. Thanks for the thread it is important to remember those who gave their lives and put their lives on the line for our country. If you want to do some real magic bring our boys and girls home...

Here's an idea: If something sucks in your opinion and you have the drive to see it different then do something about it. Complaining is useless without a solution. There are some threads I read and others I completely ignore. If the topic is interesting it will usually stay on the first page...

It doesn't exist. In any Russian Roulette routine there is some form of danger. Unless you plan on pointing the staple gun at a tomato there is going to be an inherent risk involved. --Jim

Just out of sheer curiosity how old are you? Your original post seems more like self-reflection more than it does a summarization on the current state of magic. I find it pretty humorous that you feel there are basic sleights that every magician should know, as if 'magicians' could all be...

The con is that method hunters, such as yourself, will be disappointed there is a simple method to making this work and look like real magic. Sucks doesn't it? No, there is no perfect trick but Blindside and y2john happened to like the creative genius they saw in Matt's effect and reviewed it as...

Ditto on that. I am not trying to antagonize you here Andy but I am honestly surprised there have been no reviews on E, the Cafe, T11, or TMW regarding your CIB. I would really like to see a well thought out and comprehensive review done by someone other than the creator of the effect. I have...

In all honesty and with respect to Steve Dusheck, any and all reference to Digital Dissolve should be removed from this site at this point. Leaving a product page up with the "Temporarily Unavailable" is misleading unless you plan to reissue this product without Steve's permission to use his...
