Yeah 2nd deal - I think you hit it on the head - so much GREAT work will never see DVD. You appreciate what you read more - and having to think of magic technique from words to actions - really offers something that mimicking what you see doesn't - not saying video doesn't have it's place...

Daz - funny ending for sure Corey - flawed logic for sure

Everything has a small chance at messing up, if you are well practiced and skilled at it. I am disappointed at the question that this topic provided. It seems like you are a effect collector - you have listed off your store bought effects and are running out of material...so the question...

In CONCLUSION I guess...I have to mail my crappy picture of house/tree to CardGuy and: Magic IS/CAN BE/SHOULD BE/ISN'T/COULD BE/WON'T BE/ art! In magic - YOU are the art...or not. However, arguing over if it is or isn't - doesn't make it art. Go make it art - let people tell you it...

wow - in typing my post - 10 posts were done - so I want to reply to this as an add on: "Art" is defined as...the products of human creativity This is why we call the T11 guys the Theory 11 artists - so if you are creating something new...and not just COPYING something you learnt - you may...

This topic is BEAT to death - here is the thing, I think that leaning one way OR the other is the problem. Because as a society we have already defined what common art is - paintings, music, etc - this apparently leave no room for "new" art. If I draw a picture of a stickman - that is not...

This was an awesome question - and it may partially explain the weakness of posts and magic knowledge on this forum. When over 60% have less than a grade 12 education and are under the age 18 - it is easy to understand why such poor writing and expression of thought exist, poor grammar and...

haha - red is a girls colour...nice!? I have been told by many big names - "real pro's use red", I have found for a few reasons. Most gaffs don't come in both red and blue - actually, Josh Jay makes his overlap gimmick in just red (at least, when it first came out, not sure if he changed...

This is a great thread - I have read the first few pages, and skimmed the last few - but I will read them. I just have a few points. It is funny we are getting upset at "Youtube", when it is just a tool...a medium, like a DVD or a book - however, it is has been misused. It is not the fault...

I perform close up...everything from cards, coins, rubber bands, chop cups and so on - I performed all the time private shows and restaurants

Rick - it sounds like you have a full and interesting life, which means you have potential to be a great magician...as being interesting out of magic lends a helping hand. Also, you have a good grasp on what you are offering, both in strengths and weaknesses - I hope to come to Magi-fest in the...

RDChopper - very "romantic" (as in English romance not make out movie romance) plot - I think it's great, and may have some ideas for the ending. I would like to see it end on a more positive note...something gained, rather than a love lost. Perhaps, them gaining you as a friend...or gaining...

Hi reverhart - thanks for taking the feedback well - it was meant to help, and open up dialogue a bit more, so I am glad you responded to each point. I know it's hard when they say they want both - however, I am not questioning your learning experience, but questioning what you would do...

RDChopper - I would love to hear how the rest goes, if you don't feel comfortable sharing, as it has potential for both a cool hook...but also disaster. There are many reasons why it may not be getting a strong reaction at the end - how are you ending, what phases are you using (as they have to...

TeeDee – thank you for responding, although I am not sure why you did. You seem to feel that your presentation has no flaws, so there is no room for improvement. Even if your character is a gambler, like Ortiz, I feel the topic of magic and gambling should be separate – both principles...

Sinful 07 - Actually, I found it gross...but even something gross has entertainment value...or Jacka$$ wouldn't have had like 3 films grossing millions! No joke, my brother is going out for Halloween as "the cup"...as he thinks going up to two girls and saying...hey, you guys are two...

Randomwrath - I think your presentation is creative, but I am also concerned that if you don’t play it as an analogy, or tongue in cheek, that it almost appears a bit like I discussed in my thread above...going too far to sell an idea that seems hollow. For example, there is a difference in...

A few things - Refer to my above post - already you have learnt that much of the stuff you planned was to be thrown out the window - I knew when I saw the list you were going to have trouble. Being late - wow, major mistake - don't let it happen again. I am glad it was a good learning...

Great topic David - I love seeing the progression and was really surprised to see that the last phase was so tight...although I know Joe is one sick creator...I love that the last effect allowed for presentation and was slowed down. Great magic! I hope you continue to be awesome...nice tag...

Matt - do you realize that what you are promoting is basically paper balls over the head? Please tell me this is a joke! If you think magic is making the person that was kind enough to volunteer look stupid in front of their friends is "surpassing" what magic is - you know nothing about...
