    Not Another Homepage

    The overall design is very nice. It's easy to navigate, no clutter, and covers all bases. In the 'Who is' box there was at least one spelling error. "Mindreadign". I also found it bland and hard to read through. It sounds forced to me. I'm guessing english is not your first language...

    Overhand Injog Advice

    It will be okay if it is out more than you think it should be. The key is eye contact. When you shuffle the cards it should seem like a formality more than anything. Any time you shuffle the deck just casually say something while looking up into your spectators eyes. Practice in a mirror...

    Saturday Night Contest - {dg} We Need to Talk

    How many 'accidents' have turned into moves or effects for you? What kind of music do you listen to the most? genre or artist. How many, or what are most notable, trick methods have you learned only to use them in or with another trick you already had or were creating? (like control + stop!)

    How Do You Feel About My Stories?

    I not only see where you're coming from, I agree with you. You're not able to just jump in and write good stories from anywhere, same with comedy, magic and anything else ever. You can learn grammar by writing bad essays and letting people tell you what is wrong or you can study it long and...

    How Do You Feel About My Stories?

    I can't argue what already works for you, and I can see where the two could cross lines. With that said most stories I write come out first as broad ideas phrased as what if questions. What if your car broke down in the middle of a ghost town? What if there were bandits hiding out in this...

    The Magic Chapter 4: A Fresh Start

    I haven't been online as much on Fridays, I just caught myself up in the story. The story itself is flowing pretty good. The only thing I wonder is if you re-read your post after you write it. You should. Proofreading would cut down on the small spelling errors and make them easier to...

    How Do You Feel About My Stories?

    That's insulting. You must have me confused with the majority of people on the forums. Pulling nonsense straight out of my ...of the abyss and then saying 'Why do I need to prove anything to you' or 'I'm entitled to an opinion' after being debunked repeatedly. The Proof: He wrote a book...

    How Do You Feel About My Stories?

    Stephen King doesn't set up a nice flowing plot when he writes. Stephen King is a bestselling author. Creating a plot before writing a story hinders fiction writing. The authors who are both successful and do it are in the minority. Continue to write. I think flooding the forums and...

    A plea to the multitudes...

    It's the damn truth. I actually laughed when I saw people calling it a meaningless thread, they might be offended, but they might also be the people you're refering too. :rolleyes: (the two or three people who did this...don't spout off about how that isn't true...if it's not then just keep...

    Cookie Cutter By Dan Sperry 1-on-1

    If you're stuffing Oreos in your mouth as fast as Dan Sperry did the laughter alone will cover anything you might be trying to hide.

    Controversies in Magic

    So, you're proving my point now? It doesn't matter which words you use, it's how you use them. Cuss words are only 'bad' because people say they are, and only offend the people who choose to be offended by them. With that said, the notion that someone using cuss words is less intelligent...

    Controversies in Magic

    Before I start, a few things. Click Me for Response. Not getting on you, I just like the video and think it applies. It's also humorous and everyone loves humor. If you don't already read books for fun you should start. It'll help expand your vocabulary, along with your knowledge...

    Presentation : Your Views

    "I'm not the one who is confused, you don't even know Who you are!" -Rafiki To those who don't know who they are: Stop practicing magic and go find yourself. It'll help you a lot more in life to know who you are than it will to know how to get two balls under one cup. ;) To those who...

    I want to create 2 different close up routines:

    Routines are fairly easy to construct, the first few will be tough, but as you do them they'll get easier. From what you've said... Trick 1...I'm thinking something quick, visual, an attention grabber. Card in hand (Is this the one where they select a card, you put it inside their...

    January 2009 :: From One Generation To Another

    I edited the quote down. Older magicians thinking younger magicians are poorly read has a lot of truth in it. Most younger magicians who are just starting out or have no plans to take their magic foward are poorly read. They buy a dvd with a few tricks, ask for advice, communities suggest 5...

    New card tricks

    Awesome stuff. First video, love the effect. Smooth handling, small flashy-type thing when turning deck over to reveal ace on bottom. In real life, no one would have notice, I didn't notice until the third time watching it. Second video, nice handling. Shapeshifter needs a little work...

    Which pass do you like the best?

    Classic - Generally turn to this, it's not perfected, but it's performance ready with misdirection. Herman - Used more when I have or suspect that I have a heckler Riffle - Surrounded, or when I'm tired/having a bad day. Distortion Pass sounds awesome.
