His name is Ray Kosby. Only on bittorrent sites is he called Cosby. According to Google, Ray Cosby is also in the 1987 graduate class of Englewood High School in Englewood, CO. Anyway, I'd work on minimising the motions. Of course there has to be some shifting motion, but your hand falls about...

Cross Cut Force. Cut Deeper Force. Any number of the 1529876 variations on the Cull Force. Equivoque force. etc.

Well. I've heard it mentioned that 2 and 3 were closely linked at time of writing; furthermore, PS3 contains a lot of routines similar to PS2, so I would venture to take an educated guess and say that it will be closer to 2.

I can think of a few...

There's a better performance of it, again by Paul Vigil, here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zKFymlHJ24E&feature=related Again at the 5 minute mark. This man knows how to present magic. He hasn't even shown the card yet and everyone's already cheering.

It's why I stopped getting into battles a long time ago. People just vote for the effect they can't do, whichever has the more and harder sleights, it's a joke.

We dribble and spring as a demonstration of skill. We put it back into the deck to create a challenge situation. We make it levitate to demonstrate an ability many often dream about. I use two cards to find one for a specific reason, but you've got me there - most people have no freaking clue...

Talon/DC puts your fingers in odd positions, so yeah, like any flourish that does so, do be prepared to spend a bit of time each day practicing it, and not being able to do it for a while until your fingers get used to stretching.

Magic without respect is not an art but a mundane trick, like being able to wiggle an ear.

Hey man, I'm glad you got 'bitten'! I started off in card magic when I first began but have for a while now worked solely as a mentalist, and it's quite something. The reason I enjoy mentalism is this: I've always felt that magic is the type of experience that can change someone. Magic is an...

It's really interesting, I had a conversation explaining something along these lines to a friend of mine. I work as an actor, so on occasion, it happens that I have a bad day, and then in the evening rock up at the theatre and have to be this elegant, charismatic, graceful guy (Paul from Six...

I mentioned the issue with sandwiches in a thread not too long ago in the card magic forum. As far as the spectators go - visualartist is correct, they notice more than you think. And while they probably will never think "Why is he using two cards to find one?", I believe that discrepancies...

Haha, that's funny. I happen to know XCMeijin personally, and quite well. Very talented.

As jon said - if you're looking to get started in mentalism, check them out, see if you like them. If you decide to get serious about mentalism, then you need to look elsewhere - there are a lot of topics recommending exactly where.

How come people are only concerned with practicing sleights? -with the exception of foolzsight. That's like only practicing 10% of the routine. If you wouldn't only practice 1 sleight out of the 6 required ones in the effect, you shouldn't practice just the sleights without presentation...

Sorry man, it's almost 1 AM here and I gotta go to bed - have been working. Have fun though!

The guy says they handle well - but just look at that photo of the twin fans, lol. Also, the fact that you'd be bidding on an open and used deck - not so cool.

Definitely, but no complaints here. Sounds fun.

Agreed. Stick to the flourishing, and if you wanna hype stuff, at least deliver -_-" This whole thing has been a hilarious fail. And to the OP, I completely agree that you deserved a lot better on a lot of accounts. Too many people simply just missed to point and/or didn't bother to read your...

I also have it, and I probably won't use it, although it has a lot of nice thinking towards the effect. Firstly, the original effect. If I were to use CRACAAN or this, I would use this. The Crossroads Deck principle itself is fantastic. However I dislike the method behind the reveal. Without...
