Is it really any weirder than what you have to imagine to write a horror novel? Is the genesis of the idea really all that different from what goes on in the minds of Harlan Ellison, Stephen King, and Jack Ketchum?

Docc Hilford beat you to this idea by about a decade, give or take. Band of the Hand booklet, Murder by Mail effect. He said himself that he only performed it a few times and then never performed it again. Because you lot can't be trusted to control yourselves?

To learn how to get rhythm and flow in doing a video, you watch movies. To develop rhythm in a real-time performance, you watch live performances and it wouldn't hurt to go to the theater now and again. Allow me to put on my nerd pants for a second and recommend you see Avatar if you haven't...

Technically an ACR is strictly making the card rise to the top. It's hard to thematically get a card to mouth routine to fit. It works much better as a stinger for a transpo or location effect. I occasionally do for kids where I pretend to try and teleport the card into their pockets or...

The whole thing went so quickly that all the moves sort of blurred together. I as a viewer shouldn't have to keep rewinding to see what I missed because I blinked. The editing didn't help either. Half of the cuts seem to say, "Hell, enough with this shot, let's try another!" There really...

Challenge accepted. All of these are purely off the top of my head. -Recite the lyrics to Only a Memory by The Smithereens. -An explanation of how opposites attract. We look to the differences in others to make us more whole as a person. -An uplifting message that no matter how badly you...

Yeah, but what you're looking for is pretty niche. Honestly, it's a book you could just wait to possess. Here's my suggestion. You're already ordering what is scientifically known as a ****-ton of material. Learn the basics, then perform. Get some actual experience under your belt...

No, it's really not. The magician and publisher gave their consent for the library to put the book on the shelves. By that alone, the issue is closed. Anyone who says differently is suffering from early stages of kvlt kiddie syndrome and their face has an appointment with my pimp hand...

Question. Are you thinking of mentalism or mental magic?

Do you have Modern Coin Magic? If yes, you don't need any DVD at this time. Just learn the fundamentals first.

So instead of answering my question in your other thread, which could have been of great importance to your own performances, you decide instead to post this? I'm sorry you wasted my time.

You're ****ting me. In such cases, the library has in-house media. Basically small TVs with DVD players. The item is considered too valuable to leave the premises, so they provide you with the means to view it right there.

What organization were you planning to contact for handling the donations?

I think you already know my thoughts on performing for other magicians. But besides that, such an argument seems a little convoluted.

Oh for Christ's sake. Stop telling me what you think selling out is. I don't care. The point was that the fanboys would criticize other magicians for doing this commercial, but not T11 artists because they're fanboys. Either I ballsed up telling the joke so hard that I set humor back a...

I don't suppose you want to develop that thought?

I'm siding with Brad on this. I might just be talking out of my ass on this one, but my personal guess is that the reason most card work is performed at Warp 3 is twofold. One, Brian Tudor does that and not everyone has figured out yet that Brian Tudor is the most wooden, uninteresting...

.Mov files are a colossal pain in the ass. They're QuickTime exclusive files. They can only be played on QT players, and can only be edited in QT pro. You have a couple of options for dealing with them. QT pro may have an export feature. If it does, you'll want to take the unedited clip...

Because it's always about you, right? I was speaking in general. Besides, whenever the topic of performing for black people comes up, everyone is scrambling to avoid being called racist even though no one who matters will accuse you of that. No, you're not being considerate, and nor is anyone...

First post in is already of the, "I never use suspicious props," school. Impressive. That said, the deck really isn't going to enhance your performance in the slightest without motivation. I like to use Ghosts because they're durable and the monochromatic color scheme works well with my...
