LOL. Nice, Michael, nice.

Dana Hocking has said that he has seen it live. I heard something interesting today, from a layman. "I don't ever wanna know how to do that. I love being so naive to what's happening, I love being ****ing fooled, that's the most amazing ****." Don't be a heckler. Enjoy the magic.

Yeah, sure. It used to mean something when the ad said "from x's professional repertoire!" - it used to mean that the magician had been developing the trick for decades and was actually, truly, developed. It used to mean things were researched. They knew who came up with what routine. And they...

I'd be interested in the answer if any of you were to email a reputable and experienced magician who performs for laymen as a profession, and ask them how many double lifts they did, and what sort of double lifts they did - do they fly ten feet in the air with a backwards three and a half twist?

Sean - yes, Cheng has one version that uses one hand to make the change (although you will need to be proficient in the use of both such limbs in the process of getting to the actual change) - and another that uses two hands, a thumb brush which emulates the original Zapped - which I like better.

Definitely in agreement there. I think just out of good will too.

I really don't know what to say to you dude. What you're essentially saying is, you're not sure whether you should actually buy it, because you have the chance to steal it.

Nice man, I really like your thoughts on this, very helpful - thanks!

So basically, there was just a page of posts consisting of one guy desperately trying to defame DG, and upon being disagreed with, resorting to admitting to (what we knew was) simply a deep dislike of his character. ...-_-"

Yeahhh. Well it's their loss, if they can't see from a layman's perspective. Magician foolers doolers, who cares, really? It's not what's important, and the people who can't see that will never be as good as people who understand it. It took me a little while of hard practice but I've pretty...

I recommend getting AoA before TA, not because it matters, technically, but because AoA is more comprehensive, and I'd still rate AoA above TA.

The only thing that particularly interests me is whether or not the effect is, in fact, the same Search & Destroy in The Paper Engine. I'd assume so - and Aaron does describe it as "probably the strongest effect in the book" - so it'll also be interesting how it'll be marketed. On paper, a...

Well, no I didn't like it, pretty much because of the middle, as I thought I wouldn't - but yeah, if you clean it up, I could change my mind. It's so easy to lose attention and focus, especially from a layman who doesn't have to watch you.

If you know it's boring in the middle... Then I know I'm not gonna get through the trick, and besides, you already know what's wrong with it in general - the middle is a sleeping pill.

Hmm... Ok, put it this way. In a nutshell: I agree with the general purpose and idea of your post, but I do like Tokyo disagree with the specific points of magic you've proposed, to the point where I must say that I believe that you are wrong on at least some of them.

Briefly: What makes presentation great is a mixture of all those things you mentioned, and then some: clarity, for example. Patter doesn't necessarily make magic better, though; if it's bad patter, obviously, the magic will suffer. However, with the exception of magic performed to music in the...

In the video, I quite like the guy who said, "cough fake cough liamwalsh better". And many lols were had.

I heard it was Brad Christian's alter ego.

It's hard to say really, depends on how much people want to pay for it. It's not in as huge demand as it used to be but I'm sure you could sell it for a decent price..

It is to magicians anyway. Maybe that's the idea, to retain the viewers of Masters of Illusion. "And while magic is fresh in your minds, here's how you do it!"
