Yeah I agree with you, also it was lack of rehersal. Dodd linked a thread on Genii forum, which pretty much summed up why the act looked so bad. Well I know I am guilty of doing that, however I am leaning toward bad move on the choices of effects this round. Poor form on both performers...

Thank you for the links Dodd, information is always appreciated ^^. Edit: Read the Genii Thread, it explains a lot and puts the final pieces to the puzzle in place.

Camera trickery should be left to the movies period. There is your answer, magic isn't about using masking techniques in post production to hide something. Magic isn't about hiring actors to play the part of a spectator NO! That is no longer a magic show or special, all you're left with is a...

You really can't buy a full made version of the swallowing needles effect. However, you can find the needle swallowing effect in Tarbell. I recently bought "Confessions of Needle Swallower" which in my opinion is the best marketed version of the needle swallowing effect. Then of course you can...

I agree with your second sentence, but as an actor of eleven years, there are times when the performer turns his/her back to the audience. Unfortunately, it is usually to hide something from the audience or choreography (Dancing). The character change was unneeded and as I pointed out in the...

Okay I will be realistic, magic is fake. Done, but that isn't a satisfactory answer so I will continue. Antonio and Dan both did wonderful performances of classic illusions brought to modern times. Now if we step back and look at both performance, we can see that both incredibly fake. However...

Besides this being borderline exposure, watch out magic castle member ^^, The thing about Antonio is fire and over the top in your face metal head kind of guy is his character. The girls, the fire, all of it is Antonio. Also, I believe How, did say it is about Dan's character. The effect he was...

It took thirty seconds to change out an arm, compared to a vanish and reappearance, one of the acts could of been a bit quicker and clearer.

Yeah it is an old trick I learned in elementary. I Think some people were trying to pass it off for an actual trick called "Solid breath" or something like that. Basically it is clicking your tongue on the top of your mouth while putting preasure in your mouth. The clicking cause a fast release...

I like seeing the arm buzz saw and have been wanting to see one being used for a long while, however I kind of feel that there was to much going on for this one trick. It could of been played up more then it was. I think Pier is right, but I also feel Dan's reply was correct as well. Kind of...

Well to combat the problem of effects that use certain sleights that are being sold, all you will have to do is explain what you did that is original and then give out sources onto where you can find X and X. Same goes for other routines, if you do something that you know isn't yours, skip over...

We could indeed just start a thread where we post vidjas and what not via links. Though rules would have to be in place to guarantee quality video and maximum protection of the videos via password like vimeo.

There is a song for this reply, and it is here.

I think it is a great idea. However, it is one of those things that I'd feel much much better having password protected to help add an extra barrier to those who just wander on the site looking to troll, expose or those curious eyes.

Okay I am not a mentalist by any means, however I have read 13 steps front and back and I find it hard to believe you can't quite come up with concepts onto how to do more then just think of a number or shape and let me guess what it is. My obvious question is have you actually read the book...

My airline said the plane would be here at 10:20, WTF am I doing still sitting here at 12:03?? I should go complain to the front desk, *Runs along to raise Caine* This thread is the same situation, try not to whine to much. If you really want to whine about a product not coming out on time...

Calvin: NO WAY! x3 nah I have no idea who that is. *uses google* :P She is quite a looker though haha. But I just want to throw out there, magic with pyro=HOLY MOLY Fun and memorable!

Yeah I was as well and I do not perform enough for money to warrant me spending that much on a single deck of cards, Despite it being probably the best force deck I have ever seen.

They are called the Monte Cristo deck. You are talking about the one misprinted index right?

Yyyyyyeah I didn't remember about this thread haha. Anyway, my thoughts on the lecture can be found here. http://forums.theory11.com/showthread.php?28682-Wayne-Houchin-Lecture-Revamp edit: Zac you will enjoy it greatly.
