I'm curious where this number is located because I'm not seeing it.

Time will tell. The editing was still pretty wank. Digital effects with that are the mark of a hack. The stairway framing was atrocious and made it look like another camera edit. Lighting didn't help, and the picture had more grain than a silo. Card levitation went on way too long and...

Is a bear Catholic?

Don't get your hopes up that many people are going to get that.

Considering the two sites' lay-outs have always been similar, I'd say that anyone who starts projecting favoritism with accusations of stealing designs needs help getting dressed in the morning.

You either wear the deck or the deck wears you. If you can't perform with a deck like that without being accused of using a gimmicked deck, then just don't use them. You don't have that kind of personality. I don't get called out for using Ghosts, and I explained why several times over about...

A shade more honesty than we usually get around here, though. Okay, seriously. I like Derren. But there's nothing he teaches in that video that you couldn't learn from Google within 10 minutes of searching. This goes back to my point about skeptics being bad sources to learn from...

Oh great. Now people are missing the point in favor of preaching doing tricks differently. Let the circle-jerking begin...

There are five steps to mastering a skill. 1. Imitation 2. Distinction 3. Evaluation 4. Invention 5. Innovation They have to proceed in that order, and it takes a lot of time and work. Impatient to make the journey, most people waste their time starting at innovation and working their...

Does it strike anybody as interesting that I've crossed swords with the mods here more than almost anyone else and I complain about it less than those who have the occasional thread locked? Anyway, the mods close threads here mostly because either someone tries to use the blackest necromancy...

It takes a very specific personality type to make it work. The Amazing Jonathon is one of those people. Stealing his lines will not make you as successful or entertaining. It could have been worse. Had he started stealing jokes from Andrew "Dice" Clay and Rodney Dangerfield I would have...

Everything he did was ripped off wholesale from The Amazing Jonathon. All the words, none of the personality.

Agree and disagree. They're not consciously cold reading anyone, but when you get right down to it, cold reading is just intuition on purpose. He's right about a few things. He's done his homework on some of the psychological principles behind cold readings. But he's only ever done his...

Or you could do what I do: write. Then again, given the grasp over the English language displayed by a lot of American teenagers, it's probably for the best that we keep the pens and paper far away from them.

Assuming that's true, it wouldn't surprise me in the least. Over the last year or two I've been hearing some very unflattering stories about FISM in general. It's a shame so few magicians actually have the balls to stand up for what's right.

Why do I get this feeling that you're really in no position to talk?

Believe it or not, skeptics are among the worst people to ask for learning cold reading.

And none of those fancy wipes. They're less than useless. Cuts and cross fades are all any editor needs.
