Great first post. Maximum Entertainment is an amazingly practical book. Other great theory books are Darwin Ortiz's Strong Magic and Designing Miracles; Tamariz's The Magic Way and The Magic Rainbow; and Darren Brown's Pure Effect and Absolute Magic. Scripting Magic also is amazing. Tommy...

What resources (books, DVDs, Etc.) do you have? Your best bet is to get a subscription to Genii magazine, and look at the "Conjuring" columns from Jim Steinmeyer. There is a searchable index here: http://genii.somee.com. Type in Steinmeyer in the Person blank and all of his columns come...

The best is John Carney: https://carneymagic.com/product/carney-on-ramsay-dvd/ You know that this is a very difficult routine, right?

So, learning off of YouTube isn't the best way to learn. Most of the people who expose magic on YouTube don't have the best technique. Also, a lot of the focus on YouTube is on the hands and that is the exact opposite of where you want your attention as a performer for real people. My...

Mnemonica is amazing for what it is... a memorized deck. The method for memorizing the deck is great and the effects with the stack are wonderful. If you want to learn about memorized decks, check out Simon Aronson's free e-book: Memories are Made of This. Before recommending other books...

I'm glad that the forums have had a positive effect on you. You have definitely had a positive effect on them. Happy forumiversary my friend.

Check out a Hank Ball - works great for color changing scarves.

Mostly recipes for chip and dip.

So... I recommend using standard cards. You can use them regardless of you hand size (Google Mahadi Gilbert). Sometimes, thing are more difficult with a smaller deck. However, if you insist on using smaller cards, get the Bicycle bridge sized decks. That's what I use to teach kids under 10...

I like doing the Mismade Flag or Thumb Tip Blendo for kids. For adults, I use my Thumb Tip for my torn and restored sugar packet or airline napkin. What does the routine you are doing consist of?

Done.

We typically close threads when they have "run their course." I closed the thread because everything that could be said, had been said. @Spaz had explained why he didn't like the top change and others explained why they thought the move had value. We were into the phase of everybody rehashing...

Incorrect. Provide me with a citation to any country's copyright law which provides that. You can't. You are confusing the rules related to the ability to back up certain software and to make personal copies of certain digital media with the ability to make a copy of something and to make...

You start with a hasty generalization because your conclusion is based on just "several people" and you try to extrapolate to everyone. You then provide a characterization based on that generalization (i.e. the "worst move") and insult people who use the moves as "amateurs." Self-proving...

How about 25 years as a lawyer... that has to count for something. That is called fair use doctrine and it only applies to sections of works for academic use. Copying a complete book without permission violates copyright law regardless of who does it. A college paper provides citations for...
