This is exactly my feelings. Magic and personal life is something that should be kept separate. Just because a magician made a bad choice doesn't mean you should boycott what he has given to the magic community. That is like saying I will never perform a Dan Harlan effect because he ran off...

Urrrm I think I missed something, why do you have a stick up your arse with Jim Pace?

I agree on both accounts. I am having a ball thinking about some of these videos.

Eh it's been a while so I thought I'd just submit my video. My demonstration of a Natural law/theory called sympathetic magic. Have you ever heard that identical twins can feel each other's pain? Did you know that in some way we are all interconnected, land, body, soul and mind to the...

Something Magical doesn't always have to look impossible. The Uzumaki I put in the same line as a haunted deck animation. If you do it right, it looks like the card is animating on its own accord, crawling to the top of the deck. Just because there is a little flourishy bit doesn't necessarily...

I hated this when I bought it...The system is so simple, that it can be found in books. However, if you actually bought the dvd he tells you what the stack is called. With that said, sorry can't help you!

Indeed. Nefesch is a diamond in the rough, I perform that sugar revelation taught on one of the dvds at the Starbucks I work at. Good stuff indeed.

Just going to chime in here. But you can adopt an aggressive, challenging persona and still have a terrific rapport with your audience. What is that guy's name who did the DVD "Fancy a Pot of Jam"? He is one person that comes to mind who has a very aggressive style and often times does the same...

Here is a cheat sheet for ya Kras. The writing in green is constructive. The writing in blue is just a personal problem with Jden, nothing to get nickered about bud. Notice the amount of "I" in the post... The routine is good, however when you put the king into the "Middle of the deck" as...

EMOmagic, you're a twink and who let you out of my basement? Talk about derail. Edit: Sorry there was more to this post it just got deleted in the editing process. Thanks Steer for the compliment. Your welcome Draven for the input, it is a subject that interests me.

http://tinyurl.com/steerpike Guess it is true what Scot Boras has said, “If you are really effective at what you do, 95% of the things said about you will be negative.” Taken from another thread that has recently popped up.

Murr this is interesting!! Little gibblet of gold among the muck, does it surprise me there is only five posts. <-prediction

Hmm I am not going to take "surround ones self" as literally as some. Of course I surround myself with successful people, but that doesn't mean every single person I hang out with is successful. They may be happy with their lifestyle, but it isn't what I want to be. I wanted to be a stoner...

And you have my address. My milk has gone sour and I still haven't recieved it. I don't like being gentle when an answer could be given in simpler terms. Don't perform your magic like it is some sort of slut trolling for a dude to go around the block with. If you don't like that people are...

^what he said.

Hows about not slutting your magic?

I know this isn't the focus of your thread but you could use a pendulum hold out instead of a pull. I mean this in the most light hearted way, but swallow the pride. Sometimes a gimmick beats out pure sleight of hand by a landslide and if the sleight of hand accomplishes the same thing that...

Its not that he is beating himself up about entertaining people, as he previously stated in this thread, he basically had an epiphany that his magic could be stronger and taken from the level of tricky magician to the level of what some mentalists achieve with their audience. Just because...

I agree completely. However I do not like the words astonishment and amazement used to describe that grey area between trickery and possible controversial "Magick". I'd like to think along the lines that instead of it being amazement and astonishment, well I mean those are the reactions I want...

Yes some common symbols of a magician do need to be trashed if you go this route but mostly the magician attitude needs to leave. You aren't there to entertain people if you take on the persona of a psychic, you are there to perform a demonstration of your power, which is entertaining and...
