Kinda had a reverse effect on me then... 0.0

Ah I see...not really but what ever floats your boat... I'm 17. Drinking age around here is 18 so talk to you in a bit.

I get what youre all saying and I blame the way Mr. Jane wrote his article. He attempted to show how to create a better presentation yet he failed to do so properly. He only showed one element of it and nothing else. He only showed one method and that was it. He failed to tell or acknowledge any...

Your post did specifically adress the time machine plot, but you can not deny that your post was written extremely badly if that was not what you were implying. You made a point, explained it, then finally gave an example. Examples are called examples for a reason. They act as an image of...

1. Experience does not define knowledge. I know people who have had decades of experience yet do not learn. They still perform at amature level. 2. Sorry if I misunderstood your "dumb" quote but you implied it. You noted out the main point of stories being stupid and you gave an example. Its...

17 minutes and you leave? awww

You basically waved off my points without an actual elaboration. -Lets go over what you are trying to tell within this post: Make better presentations for your tricks because the need to relate to what the spectator wants to do themselves. Anything other than that "is dumb" and "no one believes...

I know Mark and I dont think hes that shallow to use camera effects. He has taught people his Smooth 360 and quite a few other tricks. I also think he has a DVD coming out... so... that wont make much money if its a camera effect will it?

I honestly dont think so. It hits a lot of magicians quite early to think "what am I doing really... how does the audience see this?" its quite common... As for the media videos of magicians, we create those videos to share with other magicians, to show them our variation on a trick or a...

I am pretty sure atleast 75% of all members here have thought of that... Not trying to hate on you but myself and quite a few friends realized this quite early back in our progression of magic. As for the ""the story is dumb" thing... I think it really depends within context. I dont use the...

Hey, Is there anyone who performs Liquify on the fly regularly and gets a 100% successful performance? Im having some trouble. If you have experience, can you PM or post a comment below? thanks -Leis

Hey, Does anyone know where I could find the music used in the CloseUpMagic DVDs, such as David Stone, Yannick Chretien, Nestor Hato, etc? thanks

Not sure who the original creator is. This is an idea which a lot of people have played with... I tried it out before I saw it anywhere as well. But if you really want someone to credit, Sankey has that exact effect. Not sure the name but it is exactly as you described.

Mark is a great magician and thinker. His video of exposure is the only one I bothered to watch and it was rather enlightening... It was a tad dull but why not? Spread the word.

your girlfriend is a magician? lucky bastard... haha kidding.

It is useful without a doubt but honestly... I dont agree with "who cares what other people think. as long as its comfortable" If your audience thinks you are a dorky no life then they wont really respect you, thus not appreciating your tricks to the full potential..

I hate people who ask this question... No matter the reason, it just seems like they are asking so they can learn it and feel good. There are tricks which are hard, but there isn't really one which is hardest... practice is all it takes... One that I got frustrated working on was Raise Rise...

I dont know... I think its a bit overkill. I if was a spectator who sees a magician with it, I would think "this guy is really dorky... hes legit all out with this magic stuff." Imagine Dan White performing with a fanny pack of magic... Dont really know. didn't really bother exploring it.

This is actually one of the easier problems of laymen. I either: -Agree with them -Agree sarcastically -Disagree with them and tell them something way farfetched: "I think you use a glue stick for that trick" "close... but not really... Its actually a stick of magic gremlin blood that makes me...

Yea... Novels annoy the hell out of me. Although some are quite good to read, i find that 80% of them now are just... aweful... Takes them 10 paragraphs to say "I dont know what others think but this is the way I think it should be done" As for industrialchild, the search tool is there for a...
