    True Astonishment... The Sequel

    I can understand that 300 is a lot of money. But regardless of your intention, stealing is stealing, whether you want revenge against the shop or not. And unfortunately with YouTube, very few of the performances require skills to figure out, and the standard is dropping.

    Karnival Midnights

    I'm sure HP will stock them. It's like Terry says - if the kiddies come in and ask for REAL geek magic, he'll point them in the right direction. And if they're noob, he'll sell them Thread.

    Have You Noticed?

    Was it something I said?

    Rate my pass?

    But the camera is over your shoulder - they're still in front of you, unless you perform with your back to the audience.

    Hard time for working magicians...

    Matt - where did you find that, might I ask?

    Angry

    Besides, I'm sure that not everyone you know is perfected.

    Rate my pass?

    It'd be nice to see it from an audience perspective... No-one will ever look at your pass from that specific angle...

    Andthensome or Tarantula?

    Tarantula has not been released, so I don't really see the point of the question... If the Trilogy style material suits you, get that. If it doesn't, don't. Same as in the other topic mate.

    TA Order

    If you ordered the set, you're meant to get the set, all the discs at once. I ordered mine from The Astonishment Project, they came together, and all the ones I've tried so far, work.

    Are Loops worth it?

    You "needed little more important"? Interesting. I still don't get why you felt it was necessary to break into an insult. Why else would you need to resort to such unnecessary language?

    Tarantula or The Trilogy?

    If you're really into Card Sleights, you're better off trying to find something like Bertram on Sleight of Hand, or Card Finesse by Jon Racherbaumer - they'll provide you with much better and interesting sleights in my opinion than Trilogy. Or, study the best sleight of hand around, and get...

    Are Loops worth it?

    ...Ok, but why the red neck? I simply don't understand why you feel the need to chuck in an insult. Is it because you need some sort of attention? Does it make you feel like you're more important? Whatever. Personally, I still feel you get much more information about Loops on Loops as opposed...

    Where can i purchase this trick?

    There are lots of different sources on stuff like this... Two come to mind - Tyler Wilson has work along these lines in one of his books, I think it's Dominatricks, a colour change of a signed card. For something similar but a bit more out of the ordinary, look at VDP by John Van der Put. Not...

    Elmsley Count Help!

    Practice more. And experiment. Try doing it with more pressure. Try doing it with less. Try doing it 300 more times, and see if you still have the problem. Usually, the last option fixes things. There's no secret move that'll suddenly make the Elmsley easier; only practice. I had a similar...

    andthensome double lifts

    Put it this way. What do you want the spectators to remember - You, or that double that flew up ten feet in the air. What do you want them to be amazed at - the trick, or should they still be buzzing about the double at the end of the trick? If it doesn't add to the trick, if it distracts, take...

    Are Loops worth it?

    Ew, never mind Guerilla, stick with the original (and the best), Mesika's DVDs. When used properly, loops can be brilliant in performing magic. But you do need to get used to them, and you need to know stuff like loop management - and that's where Mesika's Loops ****s on Guerilla Guide, which is...

    I need some help guys (or girls).

    Give him a copy of Royal Road - give him a month to study say the first chapter. If he's still doing it at the end of the month, chances are he'll be alright. If he doesn't have the patience, he won't have the patience for magic.

    andthensome double lifts

    Oh, I'm not saying it's bad at all to learn and read about many double lifts. I just question the reason of many magicians for doing so. Similarly, I think there can be benefits derived from learning effects for magicians. The question is, are you doing it to look good for your magician...

    How Big?

    Yes Gustav, your hands, not your height. You disproportionate freak, you.
