    How to deal with Tough Cookies ( Hard Audience )

    Oh god, that set off a warning bell. Please, please tell me you're not going to suggest any of the that hyper-macho posturing bull****. Demanding respect is all well and good, but how would you act if you were truly secure in your superiority? I guarantee that if magicians were that secure...

    How to deal with Tough Cookies ( Hard Audience )

    Don't do that. It just pisses them off even more. No, it's not. Are you people really so desperate for antagonism and drama that you're now seeing enemies where they don't exist?

    Not my point. We have people who come here now and again to post their new card trick or flourish. But I gave up on watching them a long time ago. Methodically, most of them are pretty sound. There's another problem.

    Let's play dress-up!

    Very niche, but workable. A nice twist using the red wine as the vehicle for the markings. Something that could be adapted to other settings as well.

    That is a sequence. Artists, eh... In our rush to invent new crap we often forget to create something interesting.

    I'm not thrilled about "The Trilogy".

    I'm assuming you didn't catch the part where I said I don't actually own it. The reviews and previews combined with the fact that I don't really give that much of a **** about cards resulted in my shrugging my shoulders and passing it up for something I'd actually use.

    Is the Performance of Magic as Personal...

    Then I would say to start doing genre studies on science fiction and space operas. Wouldn't hurt to also study Joseph Campbell.
