No, here I was referring to the method being exactly what you were.

Actually, not at all, convincers help sell the illusion. They CONVINCE the spectator that what they are seeing is what they are seeing. Ok, so I want to cause a dollar bill to float ever so briefly to create a unique moment of astonishment. So, I toss the bill into the air, where it briefly...

Reformation CAN be handled just as "fairly" as Torn. Most people just don't. Also, the beautiful first restoration of Torn can be done with the first two restorations in Reformation. Therefore, even though they are not taught in Reformation, this aspect of Torn becomes moot. Aside form the...

The second example I was referring to was mine, sorry, where in the method is improved by performance. Using a word a certain way does not make it that way. And it is far more than the "use" of the word. In fact, that becomes irrelevant, unless you are assuming that the method is completely...

I was assuming that in the initial statement, the performer left the method as is, and everything else about his performance was done well. That is, the performance and method were left as two separate things, which is what seems to be implied by your example. This would work with how you were...

What I was saying was that, when magic is performed properly, it includes a convincing method. That is not to say that a convincing method makes the magic convincing, but if the magic IS convincing, then the method is as well. If a performer performs well, but the method is not in the...

"Generally, when magic is done properly, the spectator is 100% convinced of what they saw anyway, regardless of how convincing the method was." Um, if magic is done properly, the method IS convincing.

Ellusionist TEH SUCKZ!!111!1!!11!

I agree that a flash restoration has a more confined and concise impact. The piece at a time (paat) T&R's face a huge obstacle with this regards as only the first piece really comes as a shock. After that, they know what is going to happen. Each subsequent one must be more impossible than the...

Ok, TECHNICALLY, for anyone who's seen me perform it in person recently, which, really, I think only one magician has, I do Seamless starting back out, with my CURRENT performance of it, but, I used to do it all, and always, face out. Wait, never mind, I just remembered, I started always doing...

Actually, Seamless is done face OUT, ;) Well, actually, it doesn't matter really from a method stand point. But any how . . . I completely agree about the "bluff" used in many for the last piece. In fact, the sad thing about BD's Torn is that you CAN bring out the last piece if you want, and...

LOL, I know, that was why I asked. I didn't even need a second card for comparison to see that it was marked. So, if it was held next to another card, it would be obvious there was a difference. Kinda curious how he does a Jack, etc, lol, or, hell, anything above 5.

Looks similar to the one thing for WOW.

I do not know anything about the Radar Deck, but I do not think that there is any reason to spend the money on Electric touch, but that's my opinion.

I was going to say that using a MPD at a restaurant shouldn't involve the spectators touching the deck, but it can involve being spread on a table, which can get it dirty, but also I do not know the routine you a referring to which may.

Might I ask what Smooth Operations is?

Not to mention, if you get the two way click, where the deck will stay either clicked up, of down, depended which way you push, but it stays that way, it makes things like Derren Brown's Haunted deck easier.

That's ****ing hilarious. where do you get it? Are the markings as obvious as they look with the three of clubs?
