    Old Card Boxes

    Nothing as cool as that. I use them for gimmicks and that sort of thing. I've got half a dozen semi-complete boxes with big holes in places I've cut out.

    Well... I can tell you that when I first saw it, my reaction was not "Oh that looks like it's been stamped on" - I'd be surprised if anyone thought that when they first saw it, if you perform it right. That said - I suppose you could say it kinda looks like a stamp. Wasn't there a video of a...

    Softening Coins?

    Not a problem. I've got a set of speakers I've been meaning to rig up in my room from the ceiling corners for a long time now, spent a month sanding them with sandpaper :)

    I need a new ACR ending? Please advise

    Honestly, I'd focus on reinforcing what you already know. I end my ACR in a Marlo Tilt, and it works brilliantly.

    You asked the second question a page ago, and it was answered. It looks like and IS ink.

    Softening Coins?

    It actually doesn't. Surprising, I know, but if you start with say a 60 (rough) and end up with an 800, it gets incredibly smooth. If you just use a file, that will probably end up rough (unless you do a VERY good job, and even then)...

    Which Flourisher are you? Quiz

    It's not often I get to use Brecht in intelligent conversation.

    Technically, I suppose it could be possible, but I wouldn't bet on it. Your best bet would be to try and have part of the gimmick custom made, but if you could do that, it'd be very expensive.

    All Round Best Close Up Magic Tricks

    There isn't any set one. Depends on how much work you put into it.

    Looking for a recommendation.

    No, I wouldn't. If you're beginning, get XB1 or The Encyclopedia of Playing Card Flourishes. Not to say you won't be able to learn the flourishes, it'll just take you up to 3-6 months longer, per flourish.

    Some Footage of my Clipshift

    And as mundane as putting up a bad double lift video. Some people would like to think people care more than they do.

    I'm sure it could be in different sizes, it definitely can be in different colours, and it's likely you could make it in different fonts - though I wouldn't bank on being able to choose the exact font you wanted.

    Totally Out of Control DVD - what happened?

    Wow. Talk about beginners not being able to appreciate books.

    The Ambitious Card Routine

    Unless you justify everything VERY well, I think so. The only long routine along similar lines I've ever seen work is Derren Brown's 3 Card Routine, and, well, that's Derren Brown. The fact that you're wondering if it's too long for a 15 minute show surely suggests that it's long as well. I...

    Looking for a recommendation.

    Personally, I think you can do better than any of those things. BUT, if you insist on getting on of the above, I would buy d+M's Dangerous, because it's a collection of effects rather than a single trick DVD.

    No. You cannot tag a part of their body that is not exposed. If they're wearing long sleeves and you performed the method, you would tag their clothes. Similarly, you can't tag their body if it is clothed.

    Which Flourisher are you? Quiz

    Who are we to deny the poor children their daily pat on the head? Now they can grow up believing they're just like Dan and Dave and feel good about it. I feel a certain Brechtian sense of nausea towards catharsis now. -.-"

    The Ambitious Card Routine

    Whatever happened to short and sweet? You guys can't mean to say you're trying to bore the **** outta everyone by putting in 12 phases? I use a James/Ellis Displacement Move, Shigeo Futagawa's Elevator, a double lift, and a Marlo Tilt to finish.
