A-f**king-men. Christmas is not about getting presents, it's about giving presents and spending time with loved ones. I can honestly say that if I got no presents this year it really wouldn't bother me. This year has been so good for me as I have finally got onto a course to do what I want in...

No probs man, would love to see it with patter to make a comparison. If anything, at least it's a good lesson in how important patter can be. Matt

I never thought any different. Even most 'new' principles have existed in one form or another for years. Whenever I see a trick that fools me, I assume it's an old principle rather than a new one. The last two conventions I attended, the two tricks that fooled me the most were by John Lovick and...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BNbh4p3uZ84&feature=related What a fantastic trick. I'm sure I could come up with a method if I wanted, but right now I'm just enjoying being fooled. I can imagine the effect of this on the spectator would be phenomenal. Matt

Yeah, I second the guy above me, that was way too confusing. Just looked like you were flipping bunches of cards over randomly, not magical at all. Not sure which bits I was meant to notice and which bits were accidental flashes. Patter might have helped, but not sure how you could explain all...

Hmmm.... Magicians will like because it looks like it's hard to do Laymen will think it's lame because it's really obvious what happens...

My rant was not about people not knowing acronyms, it was about people not bothering to find out stuff for themselves. It was more about peoples lack of putting the effort in, just asking other people to do the leg work. What's the point of asking other people what the best tricks are? Why not...

Oh good lord.... that comment made me die a little inside Hey guys, remember the old days where you had to sit down and go through books and stuff to find the tricks YOU thought were good? Aren't you glad that nowadays you can just find out what everyone else doing, copy them and then walk...

Nice idea, here's my list (I've left out the ones I don't do or have no comment on) # Poker Demonstration: 'Harry Lorayne's Poker Deal', from 'Close-up Card Magic'. It's also on ETMCM Vol.1 and I believe it's also in RRTCM under a different name. Ok, I know it's simple and not flashy enough to...

There's a trick in RRTCM called 'A Tipsy Trick' which is the trick that is sold on this site as 'Sloppy Shuffle Triumph' I learned it from Royal Road about twelve years ago and have been doing ever since. Love that trick. So simple yet so deceptive when you get the knack of displaying the...

I have a card signed by Rene Lavand from when i saw him perform and lecture at a magic convention last year. He was awesome. Rev

I don't think they are necessarily biased towards singers/dancers. Don't forget that Terry Fator won it one year with a ventriloquism act. Ok, he was singing as part of it, but he wasn't exactly going to get a recording contract. I think it's not impossible for a magician to win. Kidding...

Yeah, but you have no idea what they look like. Are you telling me you would buy a deck of cards without seeing what they look like? Rev

Some of what? You don't even know what 'they' are yet! Talk about blind loyalty... Still, this is pretty cool thing to do. Props to T11 for keeping the 'community spirit' alive! Rev

I run the amount of cards I need on top of the card then jog shuffle. Or riffle shuffle adding one card to the top. I feel these have an advantage in that the spectator is subtly shown that the top card doesn't stay on top, therefore reinforcing the fact your not controlling it.... Rev

I invented card tricks. No one did magic with cards before i came along. ;) Rev

Pssst, let me tell you a secret.... you can buy tricks and stuff from other places you know... Rev

Well of course he would say that wouldn't he? He's invented this amazing trick so he's hardly going to tell you how it REALLY works! Rev

Why on earth do you have 'Erdnase' in your name when you clearly haven't actually read the book? You've asked a few questions now, the answer to all of which can be found in erdnase...

I think it's probably a new Xtreme version of the Magic Colouring Book that you can do on 'the streets'! The pages will all be black and reverse image or something... Rev
