I thnk the "and then I woke up..." part was edited out somehow? :D

13 Steps to Mentalism Anything by Banachek The Mind Mysteries Series by Osterlind 22 Blows to the Head - Jay Sankey These are a fantastic place to start.

Check on MJM, they have a nice DVD called "40 Ways to Force a Card" or something similar.

With the proper convincers, anything is possible. I've wanted to perform this as well, but I don't have the cash or the skills to create it... guess I need to find a carpenter... :)

As long as you change 7 things about the picture it becomes an "artistic interpretation" and thus you're good. :)

As promised, a quick overview of the most used or readily available NLE software packages on the market today. AVID Media Composer - $4,995 (Windows, Mac OSX) This is THE editing package. All the little gadgets and extra software plug-ins like ScriptSync make this software package the...

When making a video you definitely need a camera. But what type of camera should you choose? There are a million brands and a million features that you may know and some you may not know. This primer will help you cut through the muck and help you decide what type of camera is best for you...

Depends on what your definition of mid range is. You can get a cheap MiniDV camera for about 400 bucks, or you can get a Canon HD cam for abour 3500 bucks.. so a mid range camera would be about 1500? Canon XL1 or GL2?

Respect should be given until it is lost.

They clump because of the finish, but the finish is excellent for DLing because of that. As for shipping time, the USPS was prbably backed up because of the Holiday weekend. I got mine in 5 days in Iraq.

Yeah, Avid is probably Holywood standard... but for the mid range video production industry, everywhere I've worked used FCP.

I’ve seen a slew of really bad video’s coming out lately, and some of them are even video’s I’ve purchased to learn from. As I’ve done quite a bit of video production in the past, I figured I would share my knowledge in hopes that it will improve the quality of video’s I see online and that I...

I do a rubix cube bit where I let them screw it up and I fix it in under 5 mins. Pretty easy really when you know the tricks... but for some reason I just couldn't get it right that day.. glad I didn't bet money on it. Not too horrible really, but I was embarassed.

True, but at least it was the most interesting and intense discussion I've seen on this board yet. I'm just happy that there is finally an outlet to discuss these things without having Nazi mods ruin all the fun. :)

I agree that Ellusionist has put a large emphasis on the pass, I mean one of their video's is basically dedicated to it, Ninja 1 or 2, I can't remember... and it does deserve its own DVD due to the complexity of the move and how difficult it is to actually pull off. I do use a crimp for...

Wow, who knew that a single sleight would cause so much controversy and discussion? I am a firm believer in misdirection during the pass, it makes it easier to accomplish and due to the nature of the move, it is fast... and to be honest, I don't think I'll ever be able to have it completely...

I see both of you guy's points. The pass can be used as a single move that causes an effect to be done if you want. Placing the card in the middle and *bam* its on top without any other moves. I also see the point that you can control the card using any other method you'd like in order to...

I use the ACR as an example due to the fact that pretty much everyone knows the routine, and knows many methods to achieve the routine. I agree with you on pretty much all of your points except that effect should dictate the method. There are many ways to accomplish the same effect with many...

Guess I have to break it down Barney style for you... 1. I don't do ACR's, and passing the card to the top does give you a lot of options, such as a top palm in order to allow the deck to be shuffled by the spectator and then yourself. It is one of the best convincers you can do because as...

Nice work, I've been thinking about picking this up and probably will now.
