Haha hey bro, hows it going?

I have performed a version of nearly every effect from The Trilogy, but every time it is my own handling to make it fit me personally, which I advise you to do. I think the only effect I have performed move for move was Collectors... but you basically have to... haha C

Call 'em down the middle bro. C

Guys, before this thread gets closed allow me to interject. First, RD voiced his opinion in a calm, rational way. Should he have said it on an open board? Not my call. In any event, RD has tried to help you in the past by giving constructive criticism but at some point nurturing must end and...

I use the classic palm somewhat frequently, and a gamblers cop almost every time I perform. Of course the back palm is practically THE most in card manipulation, so I use that quite a lot as well. I play with tenkai all the time, but have almost never used it in working, just doesn't fit me...

Dan is suuuuch a smooth card handler... hahaha Always fun to watch his teach a tricks. C

I've been on Twitter for ages: http://www.twitter.com/amazenyou Don't forget DG: http://www.twitter.com/garciamagic C

I have a big interest in Entertainment Technology. Specifically getting a BA in either writing or theater and then getting a Masters of Entertainment Technology from CMU. That geeky stuff said, its far from impossible to make it as a magician today. I know several people (who are not...

Didn't I actually teach you that shuffle? hahaha I think people are slightly missing the point of the Sessions series. These are not supposed to be new or special effects, per say. They are intended to be little lessons on the basics and some classic pieces of sleight of hand. C

Understandable, perhaps the same reason I am an atheist ;) C

True. Also, some effects pretty much are ONLY closers. An act I saw recently had Kevin James do his enormous SnowStorm routine... there is no way someone can go out and perform on the same stage without a ton of cleaning first. Also take into consideration that your last effect is commonly...

Hey man, I was going to write out a full critique but its late and my brain is like a fried egg. In any event, if you want to put together a full professional promo video, shoot me a PM, I do video editing and would be glad to help. C

In my opinion, the ending of a show needs to be the flat out, bing bang, last hoorah of the act. Ever notice how metal bands leave the stage in shambles from the workout they just went through? It shows the crowd that they gave it their all to entertain them and, to me, thats what a closer...

I, like many, have been inspired in my life by the great and legendary comedian, artist, and profound and prolific speaker, George Carlin. Just before his death this past year it was announced that he would be honored with the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor later that year. He never made it...

"Perve through lotion" is now officially in my vocabulary. I've been using standard Bee decks for my manipulation. This takes more work and hand strength, but for me just works a lot better. Its all personal preference. I believe McBride uses standard casino cards as well. C

Guh wha? The dove act going into retirement? Wow Magic News Wire just did an article on the fact that My Network TV is scaling back original content production, and it was feared that MOI would be in this group. Thankfully it seems they were indeed just behind on editing and *fingers crossed*...

The magic brotherhood used to have trust amongst itself. Cynicism has taken a fraternal art form and made it into a production front. All I can say is to just trust me, my brother ;) C

Did anyone see the most on iTricks about why they think Masters Of Illusion is not catching national appeal? They have the theory that because there is no huge illusion or escape to top off the show (unlike the original Masters Of Illusion, Angel's shows, Blaine's shows, etc.) that it is...

That B-safe thing is probably what is blocking the videos. C P.S. The "Pain is weakness" quote in your signature is a Marine Corps slogan.

Speaking of nothing new, they have 13 hours of stage footage plus street but are already doing re-runs? What? C
