The use of critical thinking skills/thinking outside the box are needed in this challenge...useful skills when trying to brainstorm ideas for other, more practical effects. How is that not important to have as a magician? And the school reference I was making would be more along the lines of how...

The same reason we learn a lot of what we do in school -- as a mental (and physical, as the case may be) exercise. :)

Quite honestly, that's very classy. Definitely a fair way to do things. I greatly appreciate how understanding you are...especially with the timezones (even though that doesn't affect me at all, given I'm in the EST, which this contest catered to). :)

Sweet. I'll possibly be entering this one...we'll see if I have some time to think of something after the UFC fight tonight, and have the time to actually film it tomorrow while I'm out. I like this idea for the SNC! :)

Well, in the interest of fairness, wouldn't the logical thing to do be continuing at a random point with no spots reserved, or starting the whole contest over? It's exactly this situation that already caused a bunch of people to miss out, people who were in exactly the situation a bunch of you...

Because of that, I missed out. I waited all of that day, since I wanted to win it for my brother. :( My goodness, that is going to be a sweet PPV! Sucks that it's at such a horrible time for you, though. If it makes you feel any better, I'm going for Bisbing in his fight. ;) GSP is our home...

Yuppers! It's been rumored for a while (he may have Facebooked/Twittered about it...well, hinting at it), and confirmed at the chat. :)

You can pretty much adapt it to any currency, I would think. I live in Canada and have adapted it to our currency (we start at $5 bills). It won't be exactly the same, but it still works. :)

Those are definitely some unique, and very awesome, prizes! Good contest, good contest. Also, I like how fair it is--it's no longer about who's system gets through the lag first. It's a lot more fairly run. Definitely makes the grade in my book. :)

The problem is, with any customized deck order, you need to make a bigger purchase to get the same quality as the other mass produced decks out there. If they aren't mass producing your deck, they aren't using the same printing procedure, and there will be a noticeable difference in the quality...

Very nice! I may end up picking this up, although I've already got a lot of material to work on. So, more than likely I'll pick it up at a later time. Still, I really like it. So simple, yet so effective! :)

That's a pretty diluted way of thinking...just take a look at the auto-manufacturing sector, for example. :rolleyes:

I prefer Frozen. Err...;)

And that's only until he jacks the price even higher, which he said he'll do. :p

I'd just like to note that manipulation decks are thinner than regular cards. :) Also, that isn't Dan Sperry's deck...he recommends that deck, according to the description, but it isn't his. Dan Sperry's deck is the Crimson deck, which isn't a manipulation deck, but rather a regular poker...

Yup, I know. I've checked out quite a few of the videos in there. If only more people posted videos in it. :( I'll be filming some live performances and putting them up sometime before the summer ends, so be sure to keep the link in your sig until then (so I don't have to go searching for it :P). :)

Nice! I really enjoyed that. The best part? That you performed for real people. I'd love to see more (from you, and from others). Very nice, indeed. Thanks for sharing that! :)

You can absolutely write your own and not release it...Apple even gives you the free developer tools. :)

I'll assume the question was to everyone, because in no way did I say I put forth my own opinion on the matter (which would be: I could care less how others perform their effects--I have no problem personally with using stooges, and would definitely do so in a mentalism stage routine. I'm not so...

Although they look nice...$10 per deck for the pre-order, and even more expensive after that? No thanks. $90 for a brick is even a stretch, and only seems reasonable compared to the $10 per deck price point. I just can't realistically rationalize paying that much for the cards. Maybe I'll get...
