LOL Dude, you just earned my respect, we need more people like you :-P

Spring them, bend them the other way, and then some fans and flourishes.

Right... And you think because a bunch of magicians will decide to ban YouTube, the whole world will stop watching those videos. Anyway, I don't get it. Yeah, it is a nuisance, but mothing more. These are just a bunch of snotty, lonely 14 years old who think that by doing magic videos they'll...

Yeah, go for Dangerous vol 1, it's really good, and most of the tricks are not so hard, and more importantly, they have a lot of impact. Angle Zero is the best, I think, and it is probably also the easiest.

If I'm not mistaken, in Ninja 1 Brad clearly said that the invisible pass technique was handed down to him, but he doesn't remember by who. So yeah, maybe it's not very professional to do a DVD and not check who to credit, but it's not like he takes credit to himself. And I like Brad, he's...

Oh come on! Just stop complaining, sit on your bottom, and practice. I have really small hands, and it's very hard for me... I actually curse D&D daily, cause it's so hard to get their flourishes done with my sort of hands. But I don't give up. It might take me years to do them smoothly, but I...

My first flourish, I guess, was the Charlier cut. But if you mean the more fancy sort of flourishes, then it is the Flash Drei with Impossible Stack Close from the Xtreme Beginnerz DVD. Back then I thought it was impossible... A short while after that I met the Trilogy :-P.

Look, guys, you don't have to take what I've said literally... I don't really do routines like that, and I didn't mean he should do a routine where the card just appear in different place. Patter and rhythm is always needed and that goes without saying, I just tried to stress the point that an...

Of course not... I've seen laymen impressed by a neatly done simple riffle shuffle :-P.

Well, I cannot agree with you more, it's just that what you're doing is complaining as well... It's a worthy cause, but you can't change people just by posting "well, grow up!" in the forum. Or, I dunno, maybe you can, I still prefer trying to set an exmaple and let others follow if they want...

Oh yeah, I remember the first couple of times I performed, even to people who are not totally strangers but not so close to me either... My hands shook like mad and I had to come up with all sorts of excuses ("Jee, it's reslly cold here, isn't it?"). A nice DVD to get some simple tricks is...

What sort of question is that? As long as it is interesting and varied. If you do an ACR with 8 moves, and all 8 are the card going from middle to top, it will be boring. But if the first time it appears on the top, the second time on the buttom, third time in your pocket, fourth time with a...

I fail to see why the topic title is "what happened to magicians?", and this is because I fail to see why someone should call this boy a magician. So chill down, guys, he's just a stupid little kid who thinks magic is easy and who really need to get out and talk to girls more often. That's all...

Ace of Hearts. Yes, it's cliche, but nevertheless...

There's a story about David Copperfield showing his pockets empty when he was attacked by two thieves, hiding all his valuables with his magic skills :-) It sure is useful to be a magician :-P Anyway, great article, thank you for sharing!

Look, dude, it is visible that you are really trying to help and discuss ideas... But your presentation of your ideas is simply horrible, and you tend to agitate people rather than interest them in an academic discussion. Maybe you do your magic without talking, but on Theory11 forum topics I've...

Wait a sec, since when do people accept other people as friends by their magic skills? You could be an amazing card magician but a terrible friend, vice versa, or you can be both, it doesn't matter. The "creators", as you call them, are human beings just like me and you, and I don't think any...

When I see someone saying that Youtube will destroy magic, my first and foremost reaction is "What the heck?!"... Cause really, magic exists for hundreds, even thousands of years, do you really think something relatively new like Youtube is going to be the downfall of magic? Come on, it's like...

Nothing wrong about Brad's version, it's one of my favourites as well. The handling is very easy, and the patter sells the trick brilliantly.

Flourishes, especially really complicated flourishes. As Daniel Madison said, after people see you do a couple of D&D flourishes, they won't be really amazed from the fact that you can control a card to the top. But that doesn't mean flourishes ruin magic, it just means that flourishes are a...
