Read his mind. That's when the magic begins.

My guess is that it wouldn't be worth that much nowadays. Considering that Motion has almost all the Lethal flourishes. I'm sure it has some sort of value, but nowhere near where it used to be.

I don't own BeLieve, but I did feel it was necessary to briefly mention my support for this particular idea, which I think you've hit on the head. This is something I strive for in relation to my card magic as well - and my card opener is structured exactly to achieve this goal. It's a trick...

If your first trick is the only one that grabs attention, you have to wonder how good your other effects actually are. Maybe it's time to reorder effects, or maybe it's just time to practice the others more. That's a really general suggestion, really. I find that more often than not recently...

I'll give you some personal thoughts. The others are right though, there's no right answer, it's up to you to research and decide. Mystique: A solid set of card magic with a lot of impromptu work. The occasional filler (Catch, for example), but a lot of it is great stuff. Not technically...

1. Smooth, by general consensus. Also, you want the smooth because, simply put, if you wanted Air Cushion, you'd get Bikes. One good reason for trying out Aladdins is because they're different. 2. They work great. Even though they feel plasticky, they spread like the best other finishes out...

Hrm. I think, Doug, that there are far stronger effects that could be made than the ones listed in Advocate. I definitely know where you're coming from, and I don't entirely disagree, though I'm not sure I agree either. I'm sure the fact that you don't have to touch the deck has the potential to...

Harsh or not, the criticism is nonetheless accurate, and I do happen to agree. The best thing to do is ignore the insult (who cares, it's an anonymous post over the internet!) but take in the feedback.

Vernon has some fantastic colour changes - look at Inner Card Trilogy for example. A browse through any magic shop or even eBay will give you Vernon and Marlo books for sale. Try MJM Magic if you don't like eBay.

Pretty much, yes, it's still stealing, you're stealing a magician's work on an effect, which, though it may not carry monetary losses, is nonetheless ethically wrong. Obviously, if you purchase a product wherein the creator freely gives you his or her patter to use, that's another situation -...

Mastering either will be a lifelong journey, though. People take decades to reach what we might call 'mastering' either art. This is certainly true of magic, perhaps shortened to years for flourishing. So don't expect to master one before continuing onto the other. imo, if you're in a...

Yes, both the books and the DVDs provide effects that are not in the other. That said, if you don't have AoA, it would be my recommendation (and from reading a number of threads here, the recommendation of most magicians) to get these, the books, first.

The book is fantastic, though often rather difficult, certainly for the intermediate to advanced performer. Great T&R, though.

Yeah dude, I definitely know what you mean, some of it is just... "Yep I'll tackle this in a year or so..." The Twisting the Aces is nice - though the Optical Alignment is actually quite hard to get exact! Just needs some practice... Though at distance it ain't so bad. Ah sweet, thanks for...

That would be a no, then :P Thanks for that. OH well. I had a good idea too >.>

Err just to repeat my question, what time is it? Gotta work out if I have enough time to shoot and upload this.

LOL Shanku! Incidentally - what time is it now? (Stupid time difference, I never know)

Because it's not enough to copy tricks straight out of the DVD, we have to use the same jokes, too!

lol duuuude >.> Ben Long is right, though. There's a lot more to a sleight that just the secret.

Yes really, and if not really, it's something about your mum.
