unless you've had a lot of experience, you can't really learn from Steve Forte's GPS. it just shows them in slow-mo, and doesn't go over a detailed explanation about finger positionings and such. that's the VHS version anyway, i'm not sure about the new DVDs.

As I do every time, I handed out the cards after performing Vernon's "Twisting the Aces". And, as usual, the spectators tried to pull the cards apart, then grope my arms looking for hidden cards etc. I encountered one specatator, however, when he was holding the cards, was asking me about my...

australian bills are as hell plasticy, and do not crease for anything.

and i swear, if you accept this challenge and don't upload a video, then i'm not going to be too happy. I'm ranked 21, because 3 times my opponents haven't uploaded a video. thanks.

Any Australians on the boards know where to get shells for Australian coins?
