Here's a quick video I made this morning. The trick is Jay Sankey's Joking Around. Let me know what you think - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ngNMh979ePc Peace, -Cory

The only reason I never use gimmicks is because I'm to lazy to make them work correctly. I would rather just stick with my trusty deck of cards and keep practicing the sleights I know well, until they get better and better.

Get the facts before you make assumptions guys. :) This was announced quite a few days ago, and he has reached the 16 minute mark in training. For the past few years since Drowned Alive, he has been training vigorously (sleeping in a tent that simulates air 15,000 feet, etc...) Keep in mind...

Here are a few ideas.. Go out with some friends. Buy a Sankey DVD from MJM.

A lot of the time I'll be performing for my friends, so the idea of using a magical gesture is a little absurd. You don't want to embarrass yourself, because spectator's can be smarter than you think.

Thanks Brad. I don't want to come off as self-absorbed.

Hi Guys, Lately I've said some things that have obviously managed to make a few people angry, and think lesser of me. Please understand that this is not my intention, and I sincerely hope that we can just move on. Sorry, -Cory

Yo, I edited my post while you were posting this.

Thanks Katie. I will admit that I've felt a little threatened by Brad. He always seems to have something to say about what I have to say. But that's fine, he is completly entitled to his opinion - even if it seems as if it is meant to make me feel smaller. I will not be posting in this topic...

Sure Brad. "Houdini prided himself on his skill as a card manipulator but his most applauded feat was an illusion he called Metamorphosis. John Nevil Maskelyne had introduced the basic principle in England, and Herrmann the Great's assistants had performed a similar transposition in the...

I legitimately own Photoshop as well. Great program.

It would be cool to have a list somewhere. Here are a few of my favorite books... A-Ha! By David Harkey and Eric Anderson The Garden of the Strange by Caleb Strange Building Blocks by Luke Jermay Beyond Deception by Tobias Beckwith

Actually, Houdini was an incredible magician and a decent escape artist. The only reason he got so much fame is because he put nearly every penny he earned from his Esacpology towards advertising himself.

There's a solution. Just do something different that nobody knows about.

Yeah, this doesn't seem like much of a deal to me.

I've had the exact opposite of this problem happen before. I'll be doing a trick where I mess up on purpose, and they'll say "Yes, it was my card" when I know that it really isn't. It really annoys me.

Happens to me as well. Just choose "No Category" and fix it after.

I know Tom Weil... That's crazy.

Wow, that's not cool at all. Hopefully they will learn.

I'm going to wait until mine arrive, and then make a desicion.
