It's very easy to disagree with that. Compare XCM to a guy jumping off a giant snow ramp and doing multiple revolution acrobatics mid-flight, and XCM looks like a drunk turtle with 3 arms and sever Alzheimer's. Anyway, I didn't mean to pull the topic. Sorry about that. Back to the OP...

Cardistry/Flourishing/Manipulation/Whatever the hell people wanna call it - why are there so many names anyway? -.-"

Oh wow, I totally misread the context of the OP's post. My bad, I'm very tired, and Dee is right about his effect - my bad again.

Taylor's sells Bikes but is far more expensive than buying in bulk from those websites.

Yeah, there're plenty of ways to do that. If you're talking about number forces, Banachek's Psychological Suggestions 1 contains a few, including a force of the number 37. Dee Christopher's Anate could be adapted for this purpose. There is a lot of work that could be found for this - just use a...

eBay is always a good bet for good prices..

LOL. Whilst not the most spectacular flame-blazing trail of fail I've ever read about, subtlety is a difficult mistress to master in magic, and so too I feel in the realm of fail magic. That's so brilliant!

Diplopia is an amazing effect.

Vinsanity, As romeo correctly said, they usually don't really require an answer. However, if they are specifically asking you in a way that is not in awe but rather, in actual curiosity, then you have a problem. It would then sound like you're having a presentational issue on two levels...

If you want to have a go at ropes, look into Richard Sanders' Fibre Optics Extended. There is no substitute.

Honestly, I feel that it's largely psychological. I plan to do a blindfolded deck test soon with friends to see if you can actually tell the differences you claim to be able to.

"If it ain't broke, don't fix it" is a popular saying which many abide by. It's been used in the context of everything from large scale political disagreements and social reform to high school debating and personal mottoes. One could even go so far as to say that in many, it is an ingrained...

Again: Why are you at all inclined to repeat an effect people have seen recently? That's asking for it. I understand your point that if you can perform it with their deck as well, that would increase the impressiveness - but so would blowing them out of the water with something they haven't seen...

So he needs to make a fool of his nephew to make himself feel better about himself. Overcompensating much? Don't take it too hard :)

Haha, I just noticed :P

Ironically, breaks are amongst the worst performed sleights, if you can call it that, in magic. It's just shocking. The amount of people that unnecessarily stick a whole finger in there instead of just holding a flesh break... On a completely and utterly unrelated note... Flesh is a really ugly...

This didn't happen to me, but to a friend while he was performing. I did get the privilege of seeing this in person though. Said friend is on the forums but shall remain unidentified, so if you're reading this... Sorry :P Whilst performing Invisible Deck, he took the time to set up a really...

Since when does a magician repeat his tricks anyway?
