    Why so few IBM members as of the past few years?

    For me, the problem is the lack of iBM rings in my area. They simply dont exist. The price is too steep to just get a magazine. I have only ever seen a couple other magicians in the area, so starting one is mostly out of the question. Tis life. L

    Nail Clippers by Dan and Dave?

    Really, when it comes down to it, these things are cool (as far as nail clippers go.) They are related to magic in that it is important to keep your hands properly groomed when you are a performer. Is this a random thing to find on a magic website? Yes. Should you be surprised to see that on...

    Acta Deceptio: What is Most Important in a Trick?

    When performing for someone, there is a lot to think about. Until you are fairly well seasoned, it is easy to get really nervous when you show someone your magic. That said, what is the most important thing to remember when you perform? Is it simple all about your technical skills? Is it your...

    Dan and Dave Smoke&Mirror//V6's color

    This is a photo of them too. It is all about light. Until you have these in hand, nobody can guess as to exactly how dark they are. Patiently waiting. L

    How do *you* spring cards?

    I taught myself to spring off of the front before I ever saw any instruction on another method. I use tension between my thumb and my middle finger, with my first and ring fingers acting as guides. I use (Gasp! How Terrible!) the diagonal of the card to spring, meaning I spring the cards from...

    Acta Deceptio: What Have You Done with Magic?

    Every one of us in this forum can do a card trick or two. We can all trick someone. My question tonight is this - So what? What have you accomplished with your magic? I am not talking about your $4 Million stage show. I am not talking about the time you make Jennifer Aniston marvel at your magik...

    Acta Deceptio - Why Do We Not Believe?

    But is there a way to get the feeling again of when you believed? Can an illusion so amaze you that even though you may know the method it simply does not matter? What do you think? L

    Ambitious card routine

    There was no effort made to offend you Domokun. My earlier statement was simply aimed at giving actual, meaningful criticism to Nick. Upon re-reading your post, I do see that you did not specifically say that Nick's ACR was not visual, though your post seems to lean that way. My second comment...

    Ambitious card routine

    Not bad Nick. A couple specifics for you that will hopefully make a difference. 1. On your second cycle (the one using the sleight with the same mechanics as Brad Christian's one handed pass) you flashed. You didn't so much flash the spectators card as you did the secret to the move. Most...

    White Centurions???

    Hardly a $200 deck when they don't sell for $200, except on the rare occasion that an uninformed individual runs across one. They typically go for much less. Check eBay to see what's not selling. L

    Acta Deceptio - Why Do We Not Believe?

    Acta Deceptio - Why Do We Not Believe?

    The first magic trick I ever saw, a Disney Land magican pulling a peice of rope from my ear, was real. I knew it then. I can think of nothing in my memory that would betray what he did as anything but real. If I saw the same trick today, there is nothing that could convince me that it was real...
