I think you might be misunderstanding. There is a difference between an in-depth analysis and having an initial impression of an object in its entirety, including each of the sum of its parts. Both are possible, but for the purpose of this thread I'm referencing the latter. To say that initial...

Maybe, but if you walk into a room with a hundred different items, how many of those do you get a first impression of? The set in general, sure, but not of each disc etc - which I think is was Randy was expressing.

You can't learn it. The effect is unpublished, it's Teller's signature effect, and it very likely won't ever be published. The second person you referenced created his own version. Shadows is a beautiful effect. If you really like it, create your own method.

Thanks mate. Now if you just took the 1 out of your post count... ...Sorry. I'm easily amused. :P

No worries man - I guess just whatever you feel best doing then, and also depending on the situation/spectator.

It's not that you shouldn't ask about that sort of thing... I just believe that a lot of people ask about it in the wrong context. Obviously you always need to work out clean ups and angles and so on - but they ask about these things as if they were the be all and end all of tricks, the sole...

I feel like you need to work on presentation. The trick does sound very new - regardless of method, for which I don't particularly care. A lot of ums, and so justs, and umm, yeah so really just... You know what I mean? Resist the urge to speak sometimes :) Way to destroy 5 decks of cards, by...

How about you combine the two? *Ribbon spread* - insert patter - "One card... Is reversed in the deck." "Take it out slowly for me, don't look at it yet. Alright, Michelle, for the first time, out loud, what was your card?" "3 of spades." *Short pause - make eye contact. Small smile*...

jon - my apologies, I did not mean to sound so harsh. It did annoy me on one of my previous threads and I feel took away from the purpose of the thread (it was an essay topic) - and I pretty much got bashed because people took the essay the wrong way (which the title was meant to clarify) - but...

*Sigh* Not stupid at all man - it's just that a certain moderator changed my thread title - as they do for pretty much every thread I create. I really don't get it, it's starting to feel like Ellusionist moderation. Give it a break please? Anyway - yes, I did order it. ^^

I love having priorities.

What are you (they) talking about? Of course he was the Chosen One. >.> Luke is a gimp.

Hey guys. Just letting people know that if you ordered TA from The Astonishment Project, it should be shipped now or will be very soon. There's no real point to this thread, just wanted to let people know in case they haven't realised/wanted to know (since the whole tihng's been incredibly hush...

In short, they're best used in different circumstances. But I'd master that classic pass first.

You definitely want to buy flash paper.

Oh dude, that's totally awesome. Well done on being motivated - or rather, motivating yourself to do this. Awesome work, all the best.

Hang in there dude. Believe me, there are harder moves out there than an Anaconda - but start out slow and keep at it, I know people who can do it through sheer practice.

True. I suppose I should permeate my posts with some moderation, and so I apologise. But it would take Batman threatening to reveal my secret plot to take over the world in order for me to find it in my heart to give a damn personally - but oh well. All in good time, I'll get to that, oh yes I...

Hmm. Try this with a pen and paper - or just a good memory. Go through all the flourishes you know, and every time you break a packet, a card, etc., off from the deck, take note, and give it a number. Then when you finish the flourish, you can see where things end up. I know for example that...

Great review, thanks for that. Unfortunately it confirms my suspicions that I won't particularly like it or find any of it essential viewing for the next few decades - but that's alright. I'm sure some will like it, I guess, so go for it..
