For RDChopper's sake, some of you guys haven't read all his posts, because you're clearly misinterpreting them. He doesn't deny the fact that Cardistry is an art, rather, he claims that it changes from person to person - much the same way the meaning of art in a painting changes from the Mona...

Take a look! It's in a book! Reading raaaaaaaainbooooooooooow!

Off-topic (sorry, I know, but still - have to say it): JButterfield, Your signature is quite possibly THE most helpful contribution to this forum at this time. Probably one of the most useful ones to the internet as a whole, too.

I think your problem is you need to honestly start performing more for people and stop basing your patter off what you hear. 99% of the patter magicians hear is from other magicians performing for them - so they use magicians' jargon (or magicianspeak - 1984 reference). That, and when you...

Hackney Tie does it again! Nate, if you read this - do your math in math class.

Take that sh*t to the movies, yo! Just riffle up the sides. If it's a brand new pack, turn half of it in the other direction. If it's already mixed, you should be able to find it fast.

Quoted for truth.

Actually, I apologize. I've been acting immature, hence, all my posts on this thread are going to be edited within a few minutes. EDIT: Thanks, Casey.

The tax stamps being used as a seal were in use from the USPCC until 1965 - they're IRS stamps. Your particular one was from sometime between 1940 and 1965 (further confirming the 1951 date.) The Lord Baltimore cards go for around $15 (atleast, the only deck I have seen has gone for that much)...

You know you want a black dude to flip a **** and run around laughing.

Nothing to see here, folks - keep on movin'.

If you're looking for "unique presentational ideas", analyze your performing style. It doesn't help if the style of how you present it is completely different from the rest of your magic.

No, it doesn't - rather, it contradicts the notion behind him asking the question. While this issue could've easily be addressed in another thread, it is better off being addressed on this one. But if you think spectators are going to think it cool if you change your shirt or blow smoke that...

I don't do it. Why? Because Smoke, Dresscode, and every little trick/gimmick like them out on the market are overused, and very few people use them the way they were intended. Please, guys - stop trying to make everything happen with Smoke coming out your mouth while your shirt changes. It's...

Before clicking the link I've posted, read the entire post. Trust me. Now: Outs, Precautions, and Challenges for the Ambitious Card Worker - C. Hopkins If you can't find the paper pamphlet, here's a pdf version you can buy for $5...

eBay is your best hope. As far as how much they go, I usually see/hear about Brown Wynn's going for $50. Brown Wynn's, however, are often regarded as the best of the three colors, with red and blue/violet being priced around the same.

@JB, Any plans to have some sort of downloads for the DVDs (like the DVD+DL combo on the Jason England ones)?

If the first sentence was sarcasm, then perhaps I didn't get my point across clearly. I mean to say that in the hands of SOME people it is, because they make it seem like visual poetry. Others? They make it look like they're trying to practice the best part of it - the rhythm. In my opinion, the...

Guess so. By far one of the most interesting threads in the General Discussion area for a while, in my opinion.

It was somewhat of a low blow, I'll agree. But you two can't deny that there's been a misunderstanding in semantics throughout this thread.
