I'm digging the Bee Stingers. They look amazing.

I agree. You're only on a car ride. Sleep, listen to music, read a normal book like a normal person.

I'm up for it by the way.

They're 2 independent projects. How would that be working on multiple things simultaneously? I really don't understand what point you're trying to make. Not only that, but this unites flourishers and magicians of several communities, which I think is more ambitious.

Those who are more interested in cardistry will do your idea. I don't understand what the big deal is. Timury's idea satisfies magicians and flourishers.

I don't think he's picking the best videos. Any decent magic or cardistry video will be included in the full collaboration video. Am I correct Timury?

I think he's saying that this is not a contest. Any decent magic or cardistry video will be included.

Jerry's advice isn't all bad. I do mostly cuts as well, but I do think that you shouldn't do only cuts, only fans, springs, spreads, etc. It's important to learn everything to be good all around even if it is just the basics. Of course, you should learn what you like and what you think is cool.

I think it's called Cheng's Riser; correct me if I'm wrong.

It's not that you're looking down on them; it's the idea that you're doing something quick and visual for them.

It doesn't matter if you use cards; just make it flashy and attention grabbing. Do a couple of color changes and they will literally think you're God.

In essence we can perform any trick that uses a double lift?

Sounds like fun. I might join you guys next week.

There's nothing wrong with a couple of flourishes; just don't overdo it. Use short stuff as opposed to the more dextrous flourishes like Sybil, etc. Just enough for them to go "Wait that was cool."

My parents were not very supportive during the first year or 2. It was not until I started to get pretty good, taking it seriously and they saw me perform for people that they started to see why I did magic and why I loved it. My relatives though have always been supportive.
