Steerpike was banned again. Why? Higher intellect bounces along into the board and we miss the opportunity to actually listen to the important givings, instead opting to burn him at a stake. As Brad Christian once said: "The end result justifies the means." And I respect both Brad and...

heh. I thought Dan was the first guy on the mic, and when he said "daughter"... ":eek:" was my reaction. But things cleared - so: Good Luck Danny Boi! Gustav

Unreal Work is a dvd, and so is Brian Tudor's Card Sharp, which teaches mucking and stacking - but it's all if you're a visual learner, not an auditory learner. Or Olfactory. Or Gustatory. heh. It sounds like my name. Sorry, lost my train of thought. I reccomend Unreal Work, it's cheaply...

Yeah, mine sag sometimes, not for the 'gangsta fashion' look I despise, but because I just hate being constrainted. Gustav

Yet again, two days before Christmas, I was on my T-Bane (underground metro) and I sat down next to two old gentlemen who were wearing Save Darfur shirts over their jackets, so they were probably social workers. I did ultimate transpo and then card to mouth, and they both smiled and patted me...

Psst...the money's close to the tree on the right exit... Now where's my prize? Gustav

hehe. B...M..e-... Wait. No way... Gustav

That's what I was thinking, heck, I'd need one mighty belt to hold up my pants with all those things! I like having my backpack with me :p Or my skipper jacket, depending on the situation! Gustav

Avenue? Is that a Dan and Dave product? Gustav EDIT: wow. Very nively produced, and quite pleasing to watch! I hope it turns out to be good!

I try to carry a video camera in my backpack with me, but normally concerning magic you'll see me with: -A deck or two of Bikes -Wallet with 5&1 transpo gimmick -Two or three duplicates -Sharpie kind of pen (very hard to actually find sharpies in Norway :rolleyes:) Gustav

You should read through Steerpike's latest mega-thread. I'm sure the point has been idealized over. :) Gustav

Benjamin Earls' Thought of Card in Pocket. I take a card out of the deck, and openly, yet subtely, place it in my jacket pocket. I ask for you to think of a playing card. I openly, and cleanly - ergo without palming - remove the card from my pocket. It is your, thought of card. Gustav

It's getting late up here in Oslo, so ill soon hit the sack - I don't quite understand the stance you're taking here, but I'll go with a hunch and say that artistry is a state where the medium is varied, different. Yes, they are all different, from the card worker to the rocket scientist...

Perhaps emotion was not the best choice of diction. Say as if it is a vent through which you express yourself. Your ideals. Gustav

Aehem. When can you call yourself an artist? Is it when you sell your first painting? When you obtain a medal for your antics? Maybe it is when you are given a paid endorsment to perform, or perhaps do it out of free will, for the better of others? I think not. Artistry, to me, is a state...

Ah well. The magic is what the spectator sees, not what the performer does. Ergo, If the spectator thinks you're looking away; Then you're looking away. Gustav

I have the best answer of all time. At least of this thread. I say: "How did you do that?" "Well you know...I get a lot of hand and wrist practice..." *raise eyebrows twice in rapid succesion* That gets a laugh. Gustav

I think Matt nailed it. WIth his finger. No, but really, I think Thom Peterson's Psycho is exactly what you're looking for :) Gustav

Randomwrath is almost right, It will allow you to sure-fire...ly divine any number, no matter how big, that the spectators draw on the sketchpad. You never even see the drawing. But unless you're Chuck Norris or Michael Ammar, you'll be sticking to numbers, not images ;) I have it...

Holy crap. You're back. That's all I'm going to say for now, I'm coming up with an argument for later. Gustav
