I beg to differ seeing as we have just established that it is not, in fact, a pass but a steal. Nice move, though from what I could see (not much, you have it very smooth) it looked vaguely like Mike's Move off the Devil's Picturebook. I expect the actual method is quite different but it seemed...

As said, if you won then very well done. If anyone wants to share any stories, then we're all ears ;)

Calm down? Calm down?!?!?! I AM CALM I TELL YOU!!!!!! DON'T TELL ME TO CALM DOWN YOU INSOLENT LITTLE... In all seriousness, I think magic can very easily be compared to a dance. Both are often called an art, both are a way of performing and entertaining, both are a series of choreographed...

Still, laughing about it and being unkind won't improve anything. Two wrongs don't make a right, as they say.

Point taken. Chances are he'll never actually read all this but still... I think it's mostly because we were all like him once, thought we were amazing people whilst our parents wowed and gasped for us. One day, he'll look back and see how much he's improved. Then he'll laugh and make sarcastic...

You mean there was a force? Good god, where? All seemed completely fair to me!!! Aww, you're just jealous you can never be that good.

I beg to differ. As The Wordsmith mentioned earlier, it is almost Blainesque "watch..." Saying 'watch..." does not constitute patter. What the Bucks do, however, is rather than telling the audience to watch and find out what happens, they are describing what the audience can see. As I mentioned...

Sorry, youwhat? Make your mind up... I've never really liked the Buck's patter particularly. And you mentioned that they can be worked without patter - I agree. But I think that if you aren't using patter, it would be best to be silent. They are simple and direct as you mentioned; nothing...

I think the best thing to do would be to come up with something really strange, but similar to another thing, and make your own stuff up. For example, I have recently been working on (and please everyone, don't steal this idea, though feel free to pm me if you want to discuss/contribute to this)...

Hate to be the negative one, but I really didn't like this particularly. Technically, it was amazing, but patter-wise I was bored out of my skull. I don't need somebody telling me what I can see. Sorry if I sound harsh, but I think you really need to rethink what and how you say when presenting...

Um...helpful... As previously mentioned, I learned this move from the Trilogy, though Green Magic is probably the better source, seeing as it is Lennart's move. This is a very nice move and relatively easy. I would recommend adding this to your sleight arsenal.

Derren Brown has a dvd called 'The Devil's Picturebook with a trick named 'Smoke' which is what you want and then some. Just to warn you, however, this needs a special deck of cards (don't wanna give any false illusions) however it is definitely worth it if you buy it. The dvd set also has...

I'm sorry. There are some things that should not be joked about. This is one of them. I hope whoever was joking about this feels very deeply ashamed of themselves, though I really do hope it WAS a prank. And if it wasn't somebody joking, that's even worse. So as I said, I'm sorry, whatever the...

Wayne, because I love his style and how he turns tricks into miracles or Chris Kenner because he's a genius. In every possible way. Like me :p

I can't have it done for tonight sorry. A couple of days at the earliest I'm afraid. Ah well, guess I'll sit this one out. Pm me if you ever want a person to battle, though.

Hey, nice thread. Here's the story I sent in for Wayne H's holiday competition: Well anyway, I was walking along with a friend of mine from school. She's been in my class for the last two years now. So we were walking along and chatting. I turned to her and asked (in typical Adamesque...

I'm up for it...when do you want the deadline to be?

No problem, thanks for helping.
