I remember reading about the original... Wonder what the difference is. Looks good on camera, but then again, products usually do. Will be interesting to see how the reviews come in and how the experience of using it is, especially practicality wise.

Does anyone else think this thread should be titled "How to be cheesy", reading the replies? I don't have a problem with using a fire wallet or flash paper to get attention, flames and such do the job nicely. But think about what image you're projecting about yourself. I really don't see the...

Draven - I haven't heard hip for a while from anyone with a modicum of decency :P

Oh my goodness. Brad and Steerpike's conversation was interesting. The rest of it is mundane and repetitive. What is so difficult about engaging someone else's post? So far, the posts have been... A: I think this... B: Well I think this... A: I think this... B: No, you don't understand, I...

Perhaps not, but I'd consider it slightly more tasteful - there's gross as in, I just coughed all over you, and gross as in, there's a coin sticking out of my arm. Still, your point is taken. I can appreciate that the effects are best suited to a certain environment. Again, to emphasise - no...

ParaLies has a lot of close up material. There are stage pieces - most can be adapted for both - but there's definitely a lot of material that you can use informally. But actually, Raiker suggested something that I should've. Honestly, half of Derren's show is from the Jinx, last time I...

Mat's giving some good thoughts here that I know I definitely didn't think of...

How about you mail one over to Australia? I can PM you a suitable address for someone to find, if you like ;)

I'm sure I'm not the only one to point out the obvious... But does anyone else think it odd and/or unsuitable for someone to pull a piece of chewed gum out of your mouth and offer it to someone?! Even if it got rewrapped in perfect condition, I'd rather throw it on the floor than accept it. And...

MARTIN GARDNER'S MATHEMATICS, MAGIC AND MYSTERY! Thank heavens, I can finally go to sleep now. Oh, and for some reason, I mentioned Card College Light and Lighter, but not Lightest. My bad.

Oh, gosh darn it, not this stupid Candle Jack thing aga...

Welcome Adam! Haha, funny you should mention the wire, Draven. I haven't thought about that for a while. Ah well. Off to read Ted Lesley...

If you liked Devil's Picturebook, pick up Banachek's Psychological Subtleties series (1, 2 & 3). Or look into Kenton Knepper's work as well. You may also find Luke Jermay's work interesting... These are just a few that come to mind... Funny you should mention it, actually, I was reminded just a...

Oh man... This is gonna be a tough one! I'm curious at "best described as a mentalist"... Edit: Actually, now that I think about it, a few people come to mind, so I guess I'll start there...

glitter - I've never seen Alone discussed on these forums before, actually, I'm surprised that someone knows about it. I don't actually own Alone, so I couldn't tell you - but try searching this on the Magic Café - there's a permanent ad for Alone on the forums, so I'm guessing there'll be at...

Illusive - it's alright. I freely admit I can't even palm a single coin properly. Although in my defense, I'm not a coin magician, I'm a mentalist, so I don't need to. The point is this: we often overestimate where we are in comparison to the masters of the magical world. It's so easy to be...

You're kidding, right? If you don't know of Brad, you must be intentionally ignorant, or living under a rock.

DW - Practice dude. No smoothness at all. It wasn't clean enough. I don't know what else to say; it's just not good enough. RL - Better, but still, could be done better. Transposing of the packets flashed at the front, as I'm sure you've realised. The camera is definitely unforgiving... But...

This is, for once, an interesting concept for a battle. Will be interesting to see how this goes.

Yeah. Don't stop practicing and performing the tricks you've already got down. Keep on refining them. The masters often refine their shows over a period of years depending on the effect. Don't do one without the other.
