Robert, I'd like to point out what I believe is a flaw in your reasoning. The hidden assumption you are making in your post is that presentations form the dressing of an effect, but it is the effect which is inherently interesting. This is, I believe, a fallacy. Effects are not inherently...

I remember watching a (poor) performance of this a few months back. I'll just say this. The effect itself is very strong. But if you can't present it, then you're not getting the most out of it. I would also say that the difference in attitudes between magicians and mentalists will be...

Whoa, 15 in 45? :S Alright, yeah, as mentioned above, 5 Points is good... A few more obvious ones are Strong Magic and Maximum Entertainment.

I wanted to relay the news that Tony Corinda has been reported to have passed away on July 1, 2010 in Norfolk, England. R.I.P.

Yes - I would not pull out a new deck. If anything, I would use that as the final trick - otherwise, imo it's bad routining.

You had at least 95% of the forum at "This magician is a girl". Incidentally, I lol'd at this comment on her page: "Yes, you're a girl, but you display great ethics and good performance." Despite being a girl, she nonetheless manages to display great ethics. There's gotta be something wrong...

Yes, I keep a journal, and it functions like an art diary. I place whatever I want, whenever I want - there's no real structure to it. Some pages have pictures of inspiring things, others are pages of notes from books like Strong Magic, and still others are just lists of things I want, things I...

Hmm, a couple of thoughts are coming here. These are all just my opinions, so feel free to disagree. Also, I ask a few questions of previous posters, so no offense is intended. But hopefully it'll provoke people to think about magic. @Lucas: Why not? I sometimes do, sometimes don't, but that's...

Was half expecting James Biss, but that's a nice double lift Nick, well done. The pushoff is what stands out in the video, I don't care for the twirls, that's a personal preference, but the push offs were very nice. Well done :)

Please re-read the responses you've been given.

I liked the ad personally, but then again - call me crazy - I love politics. But I don't think it was political, and it was different.

Definitely agree with you there buddy - and it's tough at the best of times! ... Print it out? Well, do what you want, I guess. They're all good books. I currently use the first trick in Corinda as a closer to one of my close up routines.

I'm sure he was joking, Chris. :P And yes, exposure of sleights is not allowed.

You know that Homer Liwag and Ponta the Smith /=/ everything, right? :rolleyes:

A resounding yes. I often get comments about my dress sense (in a good way!). Especially when performing, I have a very specific character in mind, so if I know I'm performing, then I follow it. But even in life in general. I know who I am, and who I want to be, and where - and I try to dress...

I don't understand what you're trying to say the rest of your post, could you clarify? - But yes, Fundamentals is currently only being sold in eBook format.

From my understanding, the Greek Deal is a second from bottom deal - how does it allow you to deal from anywhere in the deck?

Hi Steven, This is taken from another post of mine in another recent topic... This is why I personally don't often give out advice on tricks - and when I do, it's for a specific purpose, or other particular reason (I think something would suit someone I know, etc. etc.). Of course, not all...

The only place that currently sells Fundamentals is Lybrary.com. I know it isn't cheap either. It's probably not what you'd expect from a book on mentalism either. If you want to look at some other effects to apply the lessons to (which is more than understandable), then look up The Learned Pig...

I was watching a video of Paul Vigil perform the other day. Words cannot express how ridiculously good he is, it just shouldn't be possible for someone to be such an innovative and entertaining performer.
