Overall I think it looks pretty good. All I would say is slow down a little. A few of the movements came off a little jerky. Slow and smooth is better. I think you perform the move very well.

Dude, you CANNOT master a move in 5-10 minutes. You can learn how to do it in a few minutes, the move isn't particularly hard, but you cannot master it. I'd recommend The Nowhere Pass or The Illusion Control, both by Aaron Fisher. You can find them in The Paper Engine. Or, what about palming a...

Some of Penn and Teller's stuff is pretty funny. But they contrast it so well with their discussion of serious issues.

Dude, focus on the video first. Make a good video and THEN think of a name.

I like Expert Coin Magic Made Easy by David Roth. It has material for beginners as well as for intermediate and advanced coin workers. Also check out An Extension of Me by Eric Jones. It has alot of his original material for coins, as well as for cards and even a sponge ball routine. If you...

MJM Magic is pretty good. I have had good luck with Penguin Magic as well. But beware, they have TONS of stuff. You have to know what is quality and what is not. Also, I would check out The Learned Pig Project. It's a great online database of books and other items that are in the public domain...

Yes. Word count.

Do you mean placement? What is a placment? Agree with above, a link would help.

I have a sense of humor. Your post was not funny.

Anyone know what's going on with Modern Manipulator? Their site has been parked for a week and the forum is now called "Nebulae."

I hate to say it, but you're age is the biggest problem. It's not fair, but unfortunately it will work against you. Make sure you have your foundations down cold. That will assist you as you move forward. Try and focus on the spectator. Don't make it about you, make it about them. That will make...

Search and Destroy by Aaron Fisher. Totally simple, basically self-working and the magic happens in the spectators hands.

There is a great website for this, www.coinvanish.com. I would learn it from there. It also has great information about the classic palm and the retention vanish. Click on the "Foundations" section.

I can't say Smoke or Rizer are creepy effects. Nothing about either of those effects is creepy to me, unless you PRESENT it right. It's all about the presentation and less about the sleight-of-hand.

Check out Aaron Fisher's podcasts about Technical Creativity. They are available on iTunes.

Fair enough. I respect the fact that you can look on the bright side of all this. However, take this away from the BABOM and look at it in a general context. If you paid money for something and did not get what you paid for, wouldn't you be a little ticked off?

Allen5252: I see your point. I really do. However, can you see where these people are coming from? Put yourself in their position. They paid their money for something, and then did not receive what they paid for. Then when they contacted the company, the response was "other people are happy...

Hey all, T11, thank you for allowing this thread to exist. Let's try and keep this as civil as possible. Now, I didn't purchase a BABOM, but I'm terribly sorry to those of you that were ripped off. Yes, I did say ripped off. For just a second, imagine that this was some other industry. Say you...
