1. Cardistry has often been criticized on this forum for being, in a sense, "masturbatory" (to steal a term from Steerpike), in that it can be seen as a display of personal skill that is more about personal satisfaction than it is about entertaining the spectator. How would you respond to those...

Brad, Could you be so kind as to post some names of researchers, names of studies, etc? I have access to a wide array of journal articles (through my university), and would be interested in looking into this. :) Thanks.

Consider this my second entry. :) Email: dudefella763@........ Thanks again! :)

Thanks all! :) And thanks DoctorMagic; it was very generous of you to hold this contest. :)

Hahahaha...great response. As for what's next...if I could answer that, do you really think I'd be sitter here replying to an online forum? I'd be out revolutionizing magic/mentalism. ;)

Aww...I won't be able to be here at 8pm tonight. I'm going to be without internet for the night, and most of the day tomorrow. Oh well, I guess I'll just see then, heh. :)

I can't believe you have a "friend" who would charge you for illegally obtained material (which he obviously would have gained free of charge). Given the vast amount of material, it would seem like all of it is illegal, not just the "extras". Also...isn't the selling of digital copies of...

Maybe you got ripped off, because every deck I've bought at Wal-Mart comes with a double backer. o_O But yeah, there's really not a lot of difference. The only difference is that with the batches sold at Wal-Mart, Theory11 doesn't do quality control on them (as in, it doesn't pass through...

Nice! It really looks great. A little bit see-through when looking at it with my magician's eye (only because I've seen that particular method used elsewhere--I can't remember where, but I've seen it used before), but to a spectator that would be marvelous! Adding a switch from a coin to a key...

Congrats to the winner! :)

I was trying this with a really small elastic, but was having no luck, so I won't be entering. Good luck to those who do, though! :)

So I just finished watching it...that is beyond cool. I can't wait to pick up some rubber bands of the proper size and try this out. I'll definitely be doing this around campus, to get some attention to do a rubber band effect (I'm already thinking of a few I'll revisit, just so I have a good...

Sweet! Thanks for this. :)

Yes. And it's only available online (legally) in the UK, as well. (Well...most of his shows are available online, afterwords, so I'm assuming this current set would be treated the same) Living in Canada, I'm jealous. :(

It looks really nice. :)

Edit: Read the above post wrong. Anyway, I'm sure a text description of the effect is a decent start...if it sounds good, then you go from there.

Neat-o. I'll be here. :)

...and Zach, and Rebel, and Jack. (for the General forum, anyway) Let's keep in mind that the mods don't post in every thread they clean up/close/delete (that last one for obvious reasons). I would agree that Doug (along with zach) is the most involved in the forums, as far as additional...

I have been watching this thread since it first popped up, and I must say, I'm quite impressed with how everything played out. I was instantly reminded of the debate that took place before, not long before Zach became a mod, when everybody jumped on the "the forums are crap! We need better...

Bah...too expensive for my blood (factoring in everything, not just the ticket). Maybe next time...or the time after that, when I'm no longer a broke student, heh.
