    Magicians not a fan of Criss Angel?

    Some of them don't like his style. Others have personal reasons for disliking the man. There. Question answered. Thread can officially end now.

    How to deal with Tough Cookies ( Hard Audience )

    Oh, I'm all-inclusive. One of the reasons I left the Magic Cafe was because the hallowed working pros had just as much potential for myopic mother****ery as the YouNoobs. I tried to ask a few of them some questions, but getting a decent answer out of them was like trying to find a good...

    How to deal with Tough Cookies ( Hard Audience )

    And what do you do when that doesn't work? Even that might be a little strong. Although it is a truism that magicians in general take any challenge to the supremacy over the conversation as an insult of the highest magnitude. In other words, they're a lot of thin-skinned wimps and assume...

    Liquid Metal - Any good?

    I'm going to put my support behind getting PK Silverware first. I bought the brand of forks Morgan recommends in bulk from Amazon, though a word of warning: it will still take time to build up strength. I actually had to buy bruise liniment from a local martial arts store after my thumb and...

    Tell me what you think of this ;)

    Truth is, I actually hate that video. The picture quality looks like it was shot from behind a bottle of wine and my performance is all stilted and off-pace. I only put it up on the site because it was the only a local agent would agree to talk with me, and he never did return my phone calls...

    DO IT AGAIN! *leans closer*

    Not at all. I'm just saying that this kid may be bold enough to perform regularly in school, but it's a stupid move on his part because school is a terrible place to perform. Having balls is no good if there's no brain attached to them. I would advise exercising reading comprehension before...

    DO IT AGAIN! *leans closer*

    It means he has larger balls, just no brains to temper them. School is quite possibly the worst environment to perform in anyway, especially the hyper-competitive years of high school where everyone either learns you have to step on someone to get ahead or you have to get behind somebody...

    Tell me what you think of this ;)

    Like I said, if magicians are going to use digital video as a medium to convey magic, you have to know how to use it.

    Just got Crash Course 1 & 2

    More or less. Everyone has an opinion. And they mistakenly believe that they are entitled to have theirs respected, no matter how ridiculous or mind-bogglingly stupid. Attention everyone. This is not a drill. We have internet tough guy. Repeat, this is not a drill. I reply because...

    How did you do that?

    Don't bother. Once someone buys into the Culture of Nice, they won't hear any dissent or criticism no matter how padded and delicate it is, never mind the blunt remarks from people like me. What did you expect? You're among the minority who realizes that writing is a skill to be worked on...

    Just got Crash Course 1 & 2

    Ever met a Slav before? We turn into bronze gods just going out to get our mail. Joking aside though, you got a ban for acting like a twit... now you're going to come back and do more of the same for no reason other than to (I assume) get the last word? Seriously kid. Are you really that...

    How did you do that?

    Confucius say, "There is no use carving on rotten wood." Barbara Billingsley in Airplane! say, "Chump don't want no help, chump don't get no help. Jive-ass fool ain't got no brains anyhow." If all you wanted was a happy-sappy circle jerk, you should have just said so and avoided wasting my...

    Teaching Technique

    Second question: Why in the name of Roger Corman do people think that visuals, text, or both are the only teaching methods in the wide world of card wanking?

    Teaching Technique

    Question: How long have you been doing this flourish?

    How did you do that?

    First off, I said "magic," not "close-up magic." The statement referred to the entirety of magic. Second, no. Have you ever been to a play? If people are deconstructing everything the exact nanosecond after the proverbial curtain falls, then you ****ed up. I was saying that you want...

    The Internet: Silent Killer of Talent?

    Rockin'. I'll break out the 1800 and lime juice.

    Yes I have. I use nanosecond though to make a hyberbole.

    How did you do that?

    ???.... The hell? My friends and family are not my audience. They're my critics. And we all know that Indiana Jones is in fact played by an actor named Harrison Ford and that he is not fighting Nazis but actors dressed up as Nazis and that the ruined temples he risks life and limb to...

    The Internet: Silent Killer of Talent?

    Not so much dissent as the legal consequences of his actions. And while his beliefs didn't change, his attitude only switched tactics. It was too little too late. All he learned was that being belligerent got him in trouble, so he switched to emotional manipulation in order to trick others...
