Disc 8 Belly Button Well...first, I didn’t get any buttons with my set – so maybe this trick is the Ultimate Ripoff – anyhow, it won’t be hard to buy buttons and set this one up. It is an interesting effect, and if done with tact, could have a lasting impression on people. The one thing I...

If you have to ask, you can't afford me. Business is a personal thing - probably why we don't have a section. When I teach youth on fee - I talk about comfort level and setting the bar. This is one reason I tell so many youth to wait until they feel they have an act worth making a living...

I dissected what makes a good Torn and Restored card awhile back - this may give us a better criteria in what we should be looking at: http://forums.theory11.com/showthread.php?t=8450&highlight=Tore Reformation is still the best - hands down.

Disc 7 - enjoy Water Trap This one is a coin toss – no pun intended. It has the same inherent problem much coin magic has -Why? Why would a coin vanish and appear in the lining of matches? Outside of the rationale that seems to not matter in coin work, this is a stunning effect. I don’t...

Not surprisingly, it took me 20 minutes and a full page to do for you, what you did for me in one line. We all need a reminder once in awhile that magic has merit, still, despite the efforts of the majority of those that talk the talk, but don't walk the walk, by calling themselves magicians...

Thanks - you too.

PS - when I started writing this - I was the first one, haha - oh well.

These are hard but great questions Katie. She doesn't hate magic. She hates what magic has become - an eye sore. She hates that magic isn't about an experience, but about someone showing off. Magic, when done well, isn't about the magician - it is about the experience. No disrespect to...

To add to the list of ignored opinions: Card College is cheaper...has been time tested...and many swear it to be the only book you need on card magic. It is a book that one can read over a few times and find something great in it each time. Some of the effects are classics. The only down...

I would like to see a few more posters before we discuss this beat to death topic....yep, weak post for a bump.

BWIllusionist - I don't take anythi...wait a minute, too predictable - truthfully, if my words could make people kill themselves, wow...that actually made me smile. Thanks.

First - I made this my screensaver, because it names off the most brilliant minds on this site Second - I am disappointed my name wasn't on it Third - This is the reason I will be finished with this forum soon - people like you and **** wad above ruin it for those that don't have their...

DISC 6 Smoking i In the right place, the right time – this would be a real stunner – as long as you are someplace you can light matches without breaking the law or setting off any alarms this effect is strong. Again, it is not a worker effect, but a very good piece of magic. 8/10...

yeah - Bar bet sucks - I was trying to be nicer - to avoid heat, as I am getting flack for my honesty. It is knacky and illogical - 7.5 was being generous.

(CLAPPING HANDS SLOWLY) So - you are using a novelty deck - or whatever - and you have an indifferent colour card on the bottom...or as a cover card for a colour changing deck - they ask you that question. How do you deal with it then..."ummm, you can look at them...LATER" Awesome...

If you read anything into my tone - it is the fact that I also have a life, but still magic is important to me. Magic is A important thing in my life - I happen to have many. The difference between the two of us, is that I try to keep my uneducated opinions to myself - and learn from someone...

Thanks for your opinion Cypher - I am happy to hear that Dr. Fun meets your standards - they still don't meet mine. Again, it is not the dirty work - it is the unnatural handling that I feel will trigger subliminal alarms. I think audiences see magic and react first emotionally, then logically...

THIS ISN'T AN OPINION POLL - IT IS A FACTUAL POLL - If you haven't experience any of this - don't vote. I don't want to divert the conversation to here - although it might, however: I HAVE been asked, "is that a trick deck" a few times in my 13 years with Bikes...but after asking why they...

Wow - where do I start with you - I appreciate your imput - and if I had more energy to educate you - this wouldn't be such a daunting task. I will still try...this will be a longer one. 1) They don't earn enough money to call themselves pros - but can spend twice as much on a deck of cards...

I hate when you multi-quote me Steerpike - you really like to dissect text, and not take it in it's complete form. You would be a dangerous man if you decided to do this with the bible. The KKK used the "mark of Cain" to hate against the blacks - there is an error in thinking to not take...
