Jokes have punchlines, and they're usually funny too.

Same here. When I show magic to little kids, they always ask if they can show me a trick. I always say yes. They go grab a toothpick and I watch it vanish.

Ok, I'm going to quit this debate as well. I don't think we will get through to him so quickly. Let's get back on topic. No, I didn't, but when I saw my first magic trick I knew I wanted to learn as well.

Way more than 30% of Americans know that real magic doesn't exist. No, it's because they have brains and paid attention in Science class. (I'm not saying you don't by the way)

Seriously, magic is not about making spectators believe in magic, it's about entertaining them! I've only been doing magic for about four years now (which isn't a short amount of time.) I went through a one month phase where I would try to make spectators think I could do real magic. Ever single...

Well said VA.

I'm saying this again, don't fool, entertain. I've never met a laymen over the age of five that thinks magic exists. However they know that there are good and bad magicians.

Laymen already know that magic doesn't exist. They know that it's all sleight of hand. Why would you want to screw with someone so they think you have magical powers. Don't fool your audience, entertain them. You've destroyed a good metaphor.

You can't get sick of a magic website because they sell a lot of DVDs. You can get sick of popsicles by eating too many, but not magic DVDs. You're metaphor just makes no sense to me. I agree with that.

That really has no significance to this debate.

No, but that's completely off topic. Magic DVDs are a product just like frozen treats. Business want to sell as many frozen treats/magic DVDs as they can.

It doesn't sound a little crazy, it's just plain stupid. Imagine you're starting a business, maybe you invented a new type of frozen popsicle dessert. Perhaps it's a cross between a Watermelon and a crab. Now let's say that you opened up a shop to sell these delicious treats in. Imagine putting...

I actually beat Steerpike to that point! Seriously MLB. They're a bussiness! They don't care if laymen buying their DVDs, they just care that a DVD was sold..

Market less? Are you crazy?! They're a business, they could care less if someone knows how your little trick is done. They just want to sell. I also disagree with you on the point about picking the best. E isn't as picky as T11, but 85% of their magic is pretty good. There are certainly some...

On that Q you had about Blind, the decks need setup.

Yes you can, but you there are a few moves which must be done to accomplish the ending of the effect.

I knew it!

That's pretty cool. I actually have a friend who has a King of Diamonds shirt (or maybe it's clubs) He got it at TJ Max. I have to go there sometime.

I think Ellusionist should only be a source once you've gotten Mark Wilson's Course in Magic. After that E is a great site! They have great effects and teacher. I love Bullet, even though some say the method is too simple, it still works. I just practiced the effect a lot and soon enough I had...

To perform this effect you will waste $13 at the most. After you've destroyed $13, you will be set forever.
