No this isn't agreeing to disagree, it's you not wanting to understand that you are stealing from these creators. You are taking something you did not pay for. Here i'll post it again since you missed it the first time...

In both videos the cards change under the fan. One changes to the card lost in the deck the other is changed to an indifferent card from a double. Again you are dodging the question of where did you look in books and such. It's not a waste of time to list what you have looked in. By knowing...

No you are not just buying the knowledge. You are buying the rights to perform the effect, rewarding the creator for coming up with the effect. Again if you think it is a waste of money to reward the people who create, what will you do when the creators stop releasing stuff because of this attitude.

Let me quote Ricky Jay from Secrets of the Magus from the New Yorker Magazine by Mark Singer "A guy comes up and starts telling me he's a fan," he recalls. "I say thank you, that's nice to hear. He says he used to see me perform in Boulder, Colorado. That's nice, too, I say. Then he starts...

No I expect you to reward the creator of the effect. I expect you to do the right thing. I knew how imagination coins worked the first time I saw it. I knew how inferno worked as well. i still spent the money on the effects to reward the creators. If you keep trying to figure out how the effects...

See for sure here you are. You did not buy the effect. You did not get the performance rights to the effect. Since you saw a trailer for a commercial effect and thought "Hey instead of giving money to the guy who created to reward his creativity and his willingness to share his creation i'm just...

Those look pretty much the same. Your variation of an effect does not make it new original. Also, you have yet to give us a list of books DVD magazines ect ect you have looked in. Just because it is not on the internet doesn't mean it is not out there. You know there are many magicians who do...

I think you went kinda of of a strawman Poe there with that one. As for the ID the man who created it has been dead for thirty years. This table is made by someone who is still selling them and is alive. There is a difference there.

If you do not already own Royal Road to Card Magic, that would be my first stop. If you are looking for a general all around magic book then I would look at Mark Wilson and the original Tarbell. Tarbell can be had as a PDF for under $30.

With everything that is out there right now that the "I don't live in an area that" fill in the blank really works anymore. It's more about where you look. I think people need to understand that T11 is a forum for people who are still really new and/or mostly card workers. You do have some...

"Street magicians" are not really a thing. There is only one famous street magician and that is David Blaine. Now there are some famous buskers like Gazzo. Genii has a wiki for magician and magic. Conjuring Arts as a search engine as well called Ask Alexander. The IBM and SAM has some stuff on...

To give you an example. I have this one effect. I have been doing it for years. Was 100% sure it was 100% original. Then about three months ago while digging into some old Linking Rings, from before I first joined the IBM, I see almost the same effect. The patter was different but it was...

What books magazines and DVD have you used to check to see if the method and presentation are original?

Did you buy an original before you built yours? If not that is still stealing. The "I only use it for myself and will never sell it thing comes up a lot on guitar forums where guys will buy either a knock off of buy the parts and build a stratocaster or telecaster then stick a Fender waterslide...

Took too long to get into the effect. There was no need to talk about having to re-shoot the video or pretty much anything else bfore you bring the cards into frame. Once you start there is a finger in frame and I stopped watching about a minute thirty into it. Sorry it was too distracting.

So you have gone from wanting to know what you were getting for the $1200 to really fishing for info so you can build one? Building it yourself is the same as stealing. If you can't afford it then you are A) Not ready for it. B) Do not really need it. If it is something you really need for your...

a video of the effect being performed. For people would be great. Otherwise it is just a guy giving a power point of all of the great tricks he does but the airlines lost. Yes that was a real act at Magi Fest in the mid 90's So please a one take performance for people. But it really does sound...

Well I do not know what books DVD and magazines you have Or even which conventions or meetings you went to to ask other magicians about this. This is why I asked for a list. This way we can point you to places to look and people to ask. I do not have every books. Thanks for places like Abbots...

I'm pretty sure that all USPCC cards are air cushion now. It was in a posting from Ellusionist about they cards and why they had to stop the UV finish on their cards. Also the art of play might have some hard to find decks but their prices are a little high. Like they are asking $15 for Stud...

i would love to see a list of books DVD and magazines you used. There have been multiple times i have though I had come up with something new only to find it in a magazine or book from the late 1800s to the 1940's. Even when I go through my complete runs of Tops, Genii, Linking Rings, Sphinx...
