And you're a disgrace to grammar. Let's call it a wash. No. Good, then the universe is still stable and Cthulhu has not risen from R'lyeh to drown mankind in madness.

Alright, then let me put it this way. I would rather watch Nicolas Cage have sex on a pile of my childhood memories than watch a competition between Theory 11 artists culminating in them battling a bunch of their fans. At least in the former situation, I can keep reminding myself that Cage was...

Why on earth would I want to watch this? They won't.

Why was this bumped?

Some of the general categories of mentalism are mind reading, predictions, clairvoyance, necromancy, telepathy, probability alteration, thought control, and psychokinesis. Mind reading. Pretty self-explanatory. Predictions. Again, not much to explain here. Clairvoyance. The ability...

People should read posts more carefully before responding. Personally, I've found only one use for NLP and that was out of the book Mind Lines. That's a book specifically for rewiring limited thinking in yourself by teaching you to get into the habit of using more proactive and positive...

And that didn't make it suspect? In part, Derren also uses his pseudo-scientific screed because of public conceptions about it. Just as the magicians of the 19th century would talk about the mystics of Egypt and the Far East, so does Derren Brown talk about NLP and the like because of the...

Suicide jokes don't do much for me. Seeing as I've been close to it more than once. There's some good trip-hop out there if you look for it. Though personally I prefer to work more with syncing action with melody and lyrical themes.

Early symptoms of kvlt kiddie syndrome. You need to get plenty of rest, fluids, and performances in public in stat before the infection worsens. That about covers the only advice I was going to give. The most common mistake magicians make is not understanding the medium they're going to be...

Constantin Stanislavski. An Actor Prepares Building a Character Creating a Role Also worth looking into is Uta Hagen's "Respect for Acting."

Shaking comes from tension. You're keeping tense to spring into action should fight or flight become necessary. Just breathe evenly and stay out of your own head. After finished an effect, while everyone is reacting and smiling, step out of your head and think, "Okay, is everything going...

Werewolves are the most metal of movie monsters, but unfortunately they get relegated to blue-toned emo-fests (Underworld), tween romance emo-fests (Twilight series), and general wank with bad CGI (Van Helsing). You forgot to mention books on acting for building character.

Clicked off on that link. Not navigating through that **** when I'm trying to listen to Lost Horizon. Anyway, the only method on the market that I'm aware of is Anders Moden's Healed and Sealed, which is actually pretty good. Not perfect, but pretty good.

I recall the immortal words of Crow T Robot. "This movie boldly states what it's going to do and then does it." Difficult, but not impossible. To tell the truth, nonverbal communication can often work well if you know to pull it off. What can I say, I've been watching a lot of Buster...

Decent plan, though I'd put in a vote for also getting Mark Wilson's Complete Course in Magic and Modern Coin Magic. Specializing is all well and good, but the days of the Vaudeville stage are over and it's better to have a grounding in the fundamentals of a little bit of everything.

Are you all that surprised? And I wasn't joking. I'm just so damn tired of card tricks. It's all anyone ever does anymore. I wouldn't mind so much if they were interesting, but 99.99% of them aren't. They're just derivatives of whatever Dan and Dave put out last month or whatever.

Which I don't. Along that line, one of my favorite modern horror movies is Dog Soldiers. Why? Because I actually gave a rat's ass about the characters! It also help to be interesting as a person or character. Instead of a god damn Mary-Sue of a human being.

Well that rules out card tricks.

Mark Edward's website requires the name of a mentalist who at one point wore two nail writers simultaneously. I'm having trouble tracking that one down, and what kills me is the feeling that it's already in one of the books I own and I keep missing it.

Possibly... If no one is making any profit off of this, then technically it falls under Fair Use. I would still go for a royalties free soundtrack to hedge my bets unless you can ask someone with more expertise in copyright law than me. Keep in mind we're talking to a crowd mostly made up of...
