    Justin Miller on Piracy

    If it's so great, than why are you complaining about piracy? :D Sorry, had to get that out of my system... I have to have at least one stupid post per day, that's what I choose to do in my life right now. On a serious note. Are the piracy REALLY that bad for you? Are you actually telling me...

    You've Got Talent: Part 2

    Very good read. Really helpful. But it is mainly pointed to the stage magicians. If you work in a restaurant or bar (yes, work for money), and you are forced (well not exactly forced, but recommended) to use cards, and money, and sponges, and coins, and rubber bands, and invisible thread, and...

    Creating Presentation

    Yeah, I loved your ACR presentation idea. And, honestly, I think about it a lot. I just wonder, how would you present it for a male spectator?

    Justin Miller on Piracy

    Can you send me the torrent link? My country is only on 33rd place? Wow, I'm surprised, I thought it was going to be like #2 or #3... And Armenia is #1? Are there even computers in Armenia? [/nationalist joke]

    Presentational Ideas #2

    Haha... But, the most funniest thing is when you offer them calculator to add those numbers, they find themselves offended. "I don't need calculator, it's simple math." And then they make mistakes...

    Presentational Ideas #2

    Than I guess that you know the downfalls also. Don't you just hate when people can't do simple math? Not a bad idea at all. I will try that next time I perform it. Thanx

    Presentational Ideas #2

    .... From above. Alternate presentation: If you want, you can mix it up even more, for a better kicker at the end. Instead of writing down the exact number, you write down the number with the last digit incorrect, ie. instead of "5903" you write "5902". Than cross that "2" at the end, and...

    Presentational Ideas #2

    Ok guys, here it is... I've been brainstorming a lot in the past few weeks, working on patter, presentation, linking effects together (to make sense), even waiting for "Strong Magic" book to knock on my door any day now. I have decided to share that brainstorming with you. Some of you will...

    The Pass

    Exactly... I want to know that to... As the matter of fact, tell me sleight that can bring more than one card to the top and bottom (nothing more), as fast and as invisible as a pass can...

    Presentational Ideas #2

    Thanx for your reply Ice ;) That's what I was thinking. It's not a double lift, it's not a pass, it's not even a sleight. And there is noone to credit, because it's mathematical principle. It's like 2+2=4, but in a slightly complicated manner. I will write my presentation and patter for...

    Presentational Ideas #2

    I have been brainstorming about presentation and patter a lot in the past few days. Before I go into detailed presentation and patter for some of the more famous effects, I have one question. Can I reveal a method of a simple mathematical trick? It is like "21 card trick" but with numbers only...

    Why Magic?

    Hahaha... Anyways, I do magic because I have no money, I'm not good looking, I'm not fun, I have NO clue how to seduce a girl, I'm no good in sports so I don't have friends either. And magic helps me to be in the center of attention.... while I'm alone at home, practicing.

    Questions on Table Hopping

    Just like everybody said. Perform tricks with no reset, or tricks that have instant reset when they are finished. There are a lot of great tricks that have no setup or that have instant reset.

    I'm a little pissed off...

    Man, you guys need to have faster reflexes. If he reaches for the card, just pull your hand away, it's that simple.

    Are there still Criss Angel haters... Why?

    We are hating him... And the nail has been hit on the head. WE don't listen to bad music and tell about it, but other musicians do. WE don't watch a bad stand-up comic, but other comedians do. Same with Angel and other magicians...

    Another Way : French Kiss

    Exactly... Always when you do something, or thinking of doing something (this is not related only to magic, but the life in general), always ask yourself one question: "WHY?" If you can answer yourself WHY would you do strike second deal instead of the other sleight, than you will have...

    Famous Magicians not connecting?

    Thanx for your reply. I really didn't know that. After all, this thread came out of curiosity not knowledge. Thank you for that. Your reply really puts a "full stop" on my main point, but I will bring it up anyways. My main point (while I thought that these magicians are professional...
