I think you may have misunderstood what I meant. I am well aware that this style of magic existed before Blaine started to perform on television. Magicians such as Paul Zenon performed in a similar fashion. But what David brought that was different was the focus on spectator's reactions, and the...

Hey, You've got some un-natural looking lighting on the cards. Try putting your camera to a setting with lots of white, and turn the flash off. That way you can really capture the cards, without ruining the photo. You may also want to try playing around with the contrast of the image a bit...

Nice job with the editing. I would love to see some raw footage of the change though.

Good luck with the restaurant gig. Don't let anybody bring you down on these forums about your age... ever.

I've been through this exact same situation, and I learned my lesson. Hopefully he won't end up dropping as much money as I did into the project. On another note, I'm not to sure about posting private e-mails on forums like this...

I saw Shawn perform this live. Incredible.

I'm a little confused as to why this discussion has steered in the direction of magic products, and the creation of "new" effects. The magic community faces much more serious problems than this, the respect of youth being one of them. We should ignore the false world of marketed effects, and...

That's awesome dude. I've got a neat idea for the linking rings that I think you'd be interested in. Shoot me a PM and I'll tell you a bit more about it. That's true. I think that as a community we need to realize this, and go with the flow.

You're right. Waking up to someting new means, well... something new. It's mostly about embracing what is going on with magic in the present, and looking towards the future and how things could progress. There was a great conversation about this over at another forum... Basically, if we want...

2nd Deal, I could not agree less with what you just said... How in the world is magic supposed to progress as an art if every magician just ends up "old school?" The whole idea that young magicians need to learn about the past, and do things the "right way" is disguisting really. Open...

Yep, it certainly isn't nice when you drop them in. I've dropped half-dollars down the toilet before while practicing coin sleights.

Good quality, and a nice simple design.

That sounds incredibly epic. :)

I am Wayne Houchin.

I'm going to Morocco in a few months.

There are bigger problems than this.

Akward silence... .... :eek:

If you're looking at the proper definition for "street magic" then you are correct. Unforunately, the definition has been warped into the revolutionary style of magic David Blaine introduced to the world... I think that we should all embrace this change, as there really isn't much we can do to...

Nice job Brad, looks like you've put a lot of practice in to this. For anybody who is interested in seeing more of this sort of thing, you should check out Ben Stanhope's Knife Test 2.0 - the kid is crazy.

Head over to Granville Island, and go into the Kid's Market. It's on the second floor in the corner.
