Congrats Penguin. :) Also, thanks for answering our questions, Sperry! :)

This is indeed where we begin talking about random stuff. And drinking. :)

My three questions: 1) When designing your stage show, how do you go about deciding which effects to use? In a similar vein, do you always use original effects, or do you like to throw in some oldies (that you would no doubt modify to fit the theme of the show, and fit your character/style)? I...

I'll just wait for the UK people to post the info...I don't mind Canada. :)

Whip out the good ol' Jesus card? ;) I like the idea of rope tricks, and other such effects that play better to a large crowd. If you can get the equipment (i.e., camera, projector, screen), then card effects would be great, but they're harder (though definitely not impossible) to project to...

I've seen this asked before. The stock answer is that it depends how many videos they have to get through (which I imagine is a lot). Also, not all videos get approved. And to make it that much more fun, you don't get a message telling you your video wasn't approved. If you'd like a better...

11 pages of everyone in the thread sharing a common sentiment....I absolutely love it. This topic wins just for that reason. There's no bickering, no whining, no fighting, no bragging, etc...just everyone agreeing that they love magic. For that reason, this has become one of my favourite...

Yeah, the DL's need a bit of work. Riffling up the back like that makes it SUPER obvious. After you practice doing the DL (a less obvious DL, that is) for a while, it'll become easier. Or, learning to use some misdirection (which is kind of difficult on camera--hence, try performing in front of...

It means "For The Win". It's a VERY common internet slang. On topic: I'll check out the video later.

Ahh...I thought so. I have a cousin like that, too. ;)

This post reminds me of David Sleaze, Punk Magician. "F*CK YOU! IT'S MAGIC!" ;) But yeah, I agree with you here, Doug. I've performed the effect for four people now, and every one of them was blown away. Especially my girlfriend...she adores the effect. :)

A Google search brought up nothing...care to tell me more about this business of yours? A PM would work, or here, whichever. :)

No, I don't surf. If you would like to find some surfing buddies, try looking around where you live. If you would like to just chat with some others and would prefer to do that online, then check around for some surfing forums. Good luck on your surfer buddy searching adventure. :)

I remember this being a big deal way back when there was a teaser with d+M in colour. o_O

Yuppers. Not that it matters all that much to me...I'd likely be too lazy to actually enter, anyway, heh. But...that's definitely something important to point out. :)

Put them up for however much you want to sell them for. They're not being printed anymore (hence "first edition")...so the value is really whatever someone wants to sell them for/pay for them. :)

On second thought, I'll delete this post. I realize the original poster already saw it, but just to make sure others don't use this as a method to avoid purchasing the effect, I'm getting rid of it. *Poof* :)

I think I'll pass on the picture, but thanks anyway. :p But, uhh...still, I just realized that what you're asking would require violating copyrights (ripping a CD that isn't for backup purposes = illegal in the US and Canada). Sadly, that would prevent my being able to help. Sorry. :(

If a layman is really willing to fork over $30 for a single trick DVD...let them. It's their loss. What are the chances of that actually happening? Probably pretty slim. I mean, from all the whining on this and other forums, most magicians have a hard enough time handing over $30 for single...

Would you be able to take a picture of yourself with the packaging that the effect came in? Otherwise, who's to say you aren't just looking to cheaply be able to perform the effect (i.e., not have to purchase it, just the magic gimmick that it comes with that is also sold separately)? :)
