So you're not going to answer the question. I'm sorry you wasted my time. You're still fixated on, "Be yourself," to the point where you're missing the point of what I'm trying to say entirely. Here's a new question: Would it be worth my time to clarify the point I'm trying to make to you, or...

You can still do better than saying, "I'm laid back and fun-loving," because that's what every Joe Average wannabe magician is going to say. You think I ever got a gig by describing myself with such bland language? Balls no! Docc Hilford once described his approach on first meeting...

Laid back. I'm going to put that on my list of things never to call myself when describing my act to a potential client. Now from your descriptions, I still know nothing about your performances or who you are as a performer.

Question to all the people who like to say, "I'm just myself." Are you really nothing more than a collection of generic adjectives?

I suppose I should develop my original thoughts. As artistic as I fancy myself, I'm also a man of science. Friends have told me of my performances that I always give things context and come across as a very learned individual. They say I'm like a mad genius. So I play that up. I draw...

Going to echo the recommendation for Bobo's Modern Coin Magic. It's $10 on average and has 300 sleights and effects. You're not going to get a better deal. Take the left over 20 bucks you would have spent on a DVD and also get Mark Wilson's Complete Guide to Magic. There's a lot of good...

People are only against hype when it's used by someone they don't like. They're not against the concept of hype itself, they're just annoyed that some ******* is doing something again. No one's saying you have to like him as a person.

Preach it, brotha!! Can I get an amen?! .... (crickets chirp) At what point was there a perfect answer to this question? And I hate to be the one to break this to you but most people as themselves are just too flaming ordinary to hold a crowd. The way you described yourself... I've...

Apparently you think you can do that because you imagine me to be some rabid colossus of fury.

I'm Batman. Who are you? Now that I've beaten everyone to the joke, I portray myself as a mad genius because that's basically what I am. I am a naturally occurring Bond villain.

I was referring to visualartist, but I'll take that too.

And as long as you've come back to the thread, don't think you're off the hook. You are one of the people who owe the threadstarter an apology for your actions.

When did you ever give me feedback on my book? Don't bull**** a bull****ter. You want to teach me a lesson in criticism? Post a review of it. I did respect you at one point, Drew, but then you started taking us all for granted. And if you want to pretend that you're the victim of a...

No, you were banned for acting like a drunken tool to everybody. I couldn't in good conscience stand up for you when you acted like that. There were multiple occasions where I defended you behind the scenes, but I had to draw the line somewhere. It was your own goddamn fault, so don't blame...

End of discussion. Is your life really so devoid of excitement that you need this conspiracy theory drama to add spice to it? [edited by moderator to remove profanity]

I'm not even on that much anymore. I pop in once a month just to **** with people. I realized most people just sort of take it for granted that I'll post something big. Consequently, there are those who read what I have to say because they're interested, those that don't like me and avoid any...

Irritable is a better word. Mostly it's the stupidity thing. But also, I don't believe it should be excused or ignored when some feel the need to be apologists for the crass behavior exhibited toward the threadstarter. As I said before, most guys who need help in social situations are...

Will anybody read it? Will any real discussion come of it? Last time I started a thread, I mostly got people agreeing with me. No one played devil's advocate. No one asked me to elaborate on a point or expound on an argument. It quietly slipped off the first page and into oblivion. While...

You say it is not up to others to make threads to suit another's taste. Yet that seems to be what is expected of people like me.

Should it be up to people like me then to carry your weight?
