    What Happened?

    There's a difference between laziness and recognizing when not bloody your knuckles on a brick wall.

    What Happened?

    That's necromancy. Revived threads like that typically get one or two posts from people who don't realize that the thread has been given a shambling unlife and another three of four from people screaming, "ZOMBIE!!!!" Not a terribly effective tactic.

    How Good of a Magician are You?

    Telekinetic Timber. Prop it up and go amongst the audience and tell everyone to join hands and focus on trying to push it over. Audience involvement, an explanation, and yet precious little is actually said meaning the explanation is entirely implied. Sublime.

    G.O.P "Why to perform" essay

    Gotta disagree with this because you'll never see Lance Burton or Eugene Burger or Paul Gertner stop in the middle of the act to explain who invented what. It has nothing to do with ego and everything to do with theatricality. Magic should be sublime. So no, I am not going to alter my...

    What Happened?

    Again, the reason most of us stopped making threads is because they never crack 2 pages before getting pushed into oblivion by redundant copies of, "What should I buy?!" and, "Are Guardians better than Shadow Masters?" and, "How come D&D's site is down?"

    Arranging cards for next trick

    It doesn't even need to be that fast. Just have something interesting to say to keep them occupied, which isn't as hard as it sounds. Look at the area around you to give you some material. For example: "This is the first time I've been to a jazz club, I admit." Preparing a cull to get a...

    What Happened?

    They came across as kind of tame and I just stopped reading them after a while. Nothing really caught me. Besides, I can't really support any causation on this, but I don't think people really learn anything from the roundtables because there's very little indepth discussion in general. When...

    What Happened?

    I wouldn't even count those. A regular fixture offering the same prizes week in and week out can hardly be called exciting.

    Getting a kiss successfully after a trick?

    I'm still not sure why everyone thinks that swearing means that someone is screaming while veins bulge out of their neck and their face is bright red. Come on, are we that sheltered? I never said it didn't matter. Lacking credibility is not the same as irrelevance. I saw you coddling and...

    De'vo's Secret books Review

    Nobody states an opinion unless they want someone to hear it. And I wasn't being sarcastic. You have my attention, which is what you wanted. What did you plan to do once you got it? What's next?

    G.O.P "Why to perform" essay

    In reading this, you are currently staring at a digital screen and looking at a block of text trying to figure out where I'm going with this other than painting myself as Captain Obvious. But I need to highlight the medium to make a point here. What tone of voice do you imagine I would use...

    What effects are your currently performing ?

    That's what I do. I'm not here entertain other people's bull****, I'm here to make a point. Coddling you lot would actually be more insulting to your intelligence than any profane epithet I can dream up. The questions I asked you back then were specifically to help you improve personally...

    Oh, I wouldn't go that far.

    Getting a kiss successfully after a trick?

    Couple of problems with this. First, I can prove a lot of the people I'm railing against are demonstrably wrong. I find stupidity offensive, and by telling me not to call people on their bull****, you are supporting stupidity. Second, the only reason "sketchy subjects" take such a sour turn...

    What Happened?

    And the few of us who stepped in to say, "Hey! Pack that **** in!" See, this is where you kind of look like an *******. I saw unacceptable behavior, so I called people on it. I told them it was wrong and that they could all kiss the sexiest part of my ass if they didn't like it. You decided...

    What effects are your currently performing ?

    I tried to help you a couple months back in another thread you started. I asked you some very important questions, stressing to you that they were in fact very important. Your response was to let the thread die while you started another one. And another one the day after. And another a...

    What effects are your currently performing ?

    Why and for what purpose? And follow-up question, do you plan to blow me off again like you did last time?

    What Happened?

    What good is it giving you a good topic if you don't know what to do with it? That's the main reason I go on long breaks from this place and only come back to kick up a few hornets' nests by being my usual charming self. Closest thing most of you get to actually using your brains. Which is...

    De'vo's Secret books Review

    Pretty much. Magicians are the next generation of kvlt kiddie syndrome. Allow me to repeat an earlier sentiment of mine. De'vo is very much like furries: he creates less drama than the people who talk about him. I see the Handlordz drama has been getting worse the last few months. I...

    Getting a kiss successfully after a trick?

    For the sake of context, think about the joke for a second. I've been into music and learning to play guitar (off and on) and sing for about 7 years. Hanging out with other musicians, I've come across multiple occasions where a guy asked for good songs to play at parties to impress girls...
