I have been practicing this move whilst keeping the back of my hand flat on a table or surface, so that it's my fingers that are doing the work.

Acting mature? God! Please no! Anything but that!

One word: owned.

Check out the Jamy Ian Swiss article that Miika posted. Here's the link again, in case you missed it: http://www.antinomymagic.com/swiss.htm

Eighteen and waiting for college to start. August 9th. Bada Bing!

Might I recommend some books, since we're now on the topic of magic history? "The Great Illusionists", Edwin A. Dawes "Malini and his Magic," Dai Vernon "The Secret Life of Houdini: The Making of America's First Superhero," William Kalush Also, even though it's fiction, "The Amazing...

Thanks you. The problem I've mainly been having is that the packet will ride up the finger past the joint, which is pretty much when the s**t hits the fan, if you know what I mean...

I'm working on Madonna from the System and I have a general question about rotating packets of cards on one's fingers. In Madonna, there is a packet that is held between the right and left thumbs and that is rotated back and forth a lot. What part, exactly, of the thumb do I want the packet...

I don't own the trick yet, but I know what it is. To a magician, this is a fairly standard plot, with a minor twist. But to the spectator, it is something more. If the magician is able to make them think--make them believe (if you will)--that the card's torn corner changes independently...

Not just you. Probably because it's almost a half-hour long.

Hell, you'd need a whole team of quality control just to weed out the crap. No commercial tricks could be exposed. I like the idea of a sleight database... You'd just need to get permission from the creators...

Have you seen Jordan Lapping's slight variation on youtube? It's pretty damn good. One thing that I definitely need to work on is making it flow better. When I look at other newer card effects like the Queens by Dan and Dave, it is just so eloquent. I want to find a way to make it flow...

Yeah... You got me, what can I say? On second thought, Segal would probably use his actual name...

Woah, no kidding?

Alright, I've just started performing this trick, and I've got to say, it's probably now my favorite ace trick. Basically, the four aces are lost in the deck and trade places with four indifferent cards, one at a time. It's honestly just a blast to perform. I'm definitely going to be...

Do what gymnasts do. Put ground up chalk on your hands. I'm serious. Try it out. Or use baby powder.

That sounds good, actually. Hopefully, come my b-day, Liwag won't be sold out...

No, that I'd ultimately have to decide for myself...

Ehhh, that's what I was afraid of...

I've got the system and I got XB when I was first starting. I flourish a fair amount. The only reason I have against getting the Trilogy is that I already have Dan and Dave's lecture notes...But then again I can get the discs separately... I'd need to get a coin shell if I got Coin One and Two...
