Thanks! The effect itself looks good to me, but it's not what I was searching for. I want the card to reappear somewhere completely different, preferably a few feet distance to the performer.

I haven't found any video material on this, so I don't know what it looks like. Can you point me towards a video? Thanks a lot for all the suggestions on the colour change; I like a lot of what I've seen. Any pointers on where to learn them? The move at 1:10 seems to be a Srecko Howard pop out...

Hi everyone, Several things I hope you can help me on: 1. What's your favorite colour change? It would be great if you could give me several suggestions in different categories, e.g. instant, impromptu, most visual, most impossible looking etc. 2. Is there a method to get a...

"They observe the way people think, and the many ways in which they don't." This is my favorite sentence in the paragraph. Although I was sold when a non-magician acknowledged that magicians in fact do have to work hard . . . By the way: Is it possible that Terry Pratchett has a magic...

In the last pages of the book "Good Omens" by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman, they had the opportunity to write a bit about each other. This is an excerpt of Terry Pratchett's opinion on Gaiman, where he delves into details on what makes a good magician (or conjuror, as he says): "Well, [Neil...

It's not really a magical thing, but for me it's without a doubt Steve Forte's Gambling Protection Series.

Those who know me won't be surprised ... One of the few times Steve Forte appears in front of a camera: I chose this short film sequence because, though gambling demonstrations are hardly rare today, you rarely see the actual sleights executed in such a flawless manner; the center deal...

Christopher, good to see you're not gone for good! :)

Funny you should mention him. I'm sure you're familiar with his opinion concerning his own skill compared to Erdnase: "I am better than Erdnase." Somehow I like the Google Translate version more: "There is nothing better looking than me." That and the fact that Wednesday Game Night can be on...

Reading through @010rusty's old posts has put me into quite a goofbally mood, so, with his kind permission, let me present to you a new edition of Wednesday Game Night. Today's aim: Take your favorite magic quotes through a few stages of Google Translate and post the end result. I'll go ahead...

I agree, it's sad that he's gone. He was an invaluable "resource" to this forum, quite apart from his being a great person.

It's great to hear these stories from you, Justin! When you have time, it would be great if you could share a few more stories of T11 and your experiences with it. Same goes for everyone: I'm in story-listening mood. Feel free to share any good/funny/touching story concerning these forums you...

I don't know about you, but reading 010Rusty's post made me nostalgic. Problem: I haven't been here long enough to be nostalgic about anything. So I'm curious. To all the old-timers, please, tell me a story! Who used to frequent the forums, what was their mark? Any "traditions" that have been...

I'd disagree, but I'm in too good a mood to argue :) Your post has been really heartwarming, and I've recognized myself more than once in your words. Thank you for sharing your story! Bon apétit and happy forumiversity!

Thanks for the encouraging words :D

Glad I could be of service.

Now that's just cruel. In my mind, I'd already peopled this forum with strange creatures from mystical worlds, having their own subculture ... (sigh) Well, I guess I'll just have to rewrite my conspiracy theories to fit this new development ...

Ok, just goes to show how well versed I am in magic. I'm sorry for my rather flippant comment earlier.

1) I've been practicing with cards for ~14 months, but started practicing magic per se about 3 months ago, so I'm still a newbie. 2) Summer last year I watched Richard Turner's performance on Penn and Teller Fool Us. This got me interested in card cheating, an interest that has only been growing...

So that's the real lure for getting Elite membership ...
