haha, that's actually quite funny

Currently no Walmarts in Australia, but sadly, there will be shortly.

Haha sorry for not being online - I've been doing a theatre production amongst other work, and in the process am two weeks behind on Uni work lol. I'll be on soon-ish :) You may have noticed (or not) I only started posting on T11 again a few days ago. To offer another example of ambiguity, if...

Ditto to that mate.

He's saying that your views on Stage magic are simplistic and ignorant to the point of being funny. I'm pretty sure.

Agreed with what you're saying. The bit I'd like to highlight again is that suggestion is primarily a tool to strengthen an effect. And while one may well used a routine with suggestion only, most of the time, suggestion is best used as an addendum. It has to be said that Derren Brown's routines...

Very many down here. Don't stock cards though, shame.

As a sidenote: Visual learners actually learn well from books. Anyway. CJ's list is a good and comprehensive one. As were Royal Road and Card College. You may also want to look into Tarbell's books. The only problem with the Dan and Dave is this: ideally you want to approach a broad range of...

Apart from the design touches, pretty much nothing. Just a question of taste. I personally find the first editions much better looking.

Does this look like an advertising board to you? If you don't like it, I'll be glad to show you the door out. Anyway, there's nothing wrong in buying a deck if you like it/want it, especially if you're a collector or like the artwork, and have the money to spare.

I find it hard to believe that the performance could have been so poor after supposedly been performed for a long time... Please practice more before you perform.. A lot of generally dirty movements, unnecessary motions and all round clumsiness.

I share the peeve about misquoting prolific authors :P

Interesting thoughts Dylan. I disagree, but let me first summarise what you've said to make sure I understand exactly what your points are - if I am off, please feel free to correct me. 1) Stage magic is more showy than close up magic and not very magical. i'd be interested to see if you...

Always good to see you reviewing things from left field Tom. You'll have to show me next time we meet up.

I did not say that thin-slicing could explain the experience that the OP had. I have never suggested that it was a legitimate explanation for what he experienced either. What Blink does cover, however, is a subject very close to that which the OP considered as an explanation. Hence, I do not...

Ah, I see - in that case I apologise unreservedly for misreading your post - since Sean Fields and PCP both have Mentalism orientated products, that was the conclusion I came to. I also interpreted his question differently, but no matter now. Again, my full apologies.

Hey man, keep an eye out on the Cerca Trova question for this month. It's basically along the exact same lines :)

Quoted from the blurb of the book: "This book is all about those moments when we 'know' something without knowing why. From the introduction, page 10: "...it operates entirely below the surface of consciousness." From page 16: "Blink is concerned with the very smallest components of our...

Now, new S&M is another thing... Put'em on the shelf and I'll get a brick of each the day they come out :P

Ignore the ^. If you're serious about getting started in Mentalism, you need a good foundation. Or else you're just a magician performing mental magic. Usually, badly. Now, I've got nothing against Sean Fields, or PaperCrane, etc., who all have wonderful products. But again. It's the difference...
