I believe the nickname was for publicity by himself. He did cards, but to my knowledge wasn't "the king".

I don't collect unless they're signed. I appreciate the beauty of some of these cards. But I stick with Tally Ho's and Bicycle. This has nothing to do with spectators being suspicious. Because I don't believe in that. They're just too artsy of decks to go through the wear and tear that I'm bound...

If it makes you feel any better. I understand portuguese about as well as I do Spanish.... I'm sure the rest of us would agree... or a good portion of us. Those that don't agree can actually speak portuguese.

I wouldn't say girls don't like magicians... girls typically don't like antisocial losers that spend every living moment in their cave of a bedroom in front of the webcam with a deck of cards practicing something noone will ever see. They seem to like personality... if you dont have that, youre...

A way that worked for me is actually getting a girlfriend... I don't think magic came up once in order to do that. And also, we've been together for several months now... i havent done any tricks on her... okay, maybe one or two, but they werent magic tricks. :P

I was strictly being sarcastic, considering the thread topic, lol.

I buy effects when I'm inspired. When I know I'll use it. If I need it. If it fits me. And a whole lot of other reasons. Books, I have an infinite list that I try to add to my library whenever I can. Having reference material is very important in my opinion. Just because you aren't...

That actually sounds like a great lecture. Both of them have great minds. They're the kinds of names you'll be hearing in the future as greats. I would definitely drop everything and go... if I weren't practically on the other side of the country.

I don't believe in the saying that impromptu card magic "only goes so far". Proper mastery, execution, and presentation makes card magic, or any magic for that mater limitless. Although if you're using it as a crutch, that's where you're limited. Using anything as a crutch will limit you. Of...

I think mapping out would be the wrong way to word it... Your whole life shouldn't have to be scripted to fit a trick. On the other hand, I think it is great to have a trick in your arsenal to fit any situation that comes up. Then, you're prepared.

I can turn a taco into a musical instrument... but that's beside the point. I just was curious what you meant by your post.

No offense to the Papercrane folks, I have yet to be disappointed by any of their products. I love each and everyone that I own. But TA is not only a collection of incredible effects that you no doubt will you. It's a master class in magic.

True Astonishments... enough questions and click "buy"

^ What? And I'm going to say tacos are yummy, for word count.

This is not the method behind Control... but sounds like something worth playing with to me. The genius of Wayne's work is that his methods tend to often lie IN the box when people are looking outside the box to figure out how it's done.

I was just thinking about an important point that Wayne Houchin made in the Control DVD. He was talking about the necessary build up for Control. It seemed almost as if they milked this effect all evening in order to get the reaction they did. That is how I believe you must go about these...

What else do you have down?

It could just be me and my own personal style. but that seems like over kill. Spin and Control, (not too familiar with Mindbender) fall under those "here, let me try something... not sure if it will work) type of effects, then you proceed to absolutely slay your audience. If you are the type of...

Not sure if this is what you're going for but he talks about humor in performance around page 42-43.
