I find this logic to be flawed. Here you go, misconception no.3 in this thread. Anywho, WildCard, check your angles on the left, work out the cover so it covers it as well, just play with it in the mirror. I don't know the mechanics of your cover, but from the looks of it, its been done by a...

That was very good mate :D Nicely done.

C'mon Shane, if I were you I'd worry about keeping the book "underground"! Just don't tell anyone about the Slydini chapter on lapping! ;)

I think that the original handling of Truimph is still hands down the best version in the table! Cheers,

I don't see why its overpriced, its just 5$, and you get Wayne to demostrate it. Wayne did the sleight way better than many magicians I've seen. Unfortunatly, many magicians ignore the details that makes this sleights from a wonderful piece of card handling, to a butchered sleight that won't...

Its awesome to see that Derren is a great guy as he's a great magician :) Keep in mind that studying one's work, especially Derren, think why is the trick is so good, and try to implement the ideas to your own magic. You'll learn darn alot. Go for whats behind the methods :) Personally, when...

So you want to misdirect them, do the move with one hand, then show the card on top face up, so it like comes as a suprise? Don't know, but anywho, there is a "one handed magic" chapter in Expert Card Technique, check it out for ideas.

I can see what you mean by the "feel" point, very true. ( I understand you mean sleight free for the performer, for laymen, I think even with sleights, they look can be done while making everything look fair if not very fair, which is something I strive for by the way! ). Anywho, you're post...

That would be the case if they SAW IT actually being moved to the top of the deck.Illusion is created by methods, the pass is one method to achieve the illusion. ( :P playing with you ). Anyway, here's a qoute by Steve Youell, I think you'll love it. Anywho, I can really where you're coming...

Get Card College vol.1 only. Finish it, then go for vol.2 .. etc. If you're on a tight budget, Royal Road.

I do it in real life, so I'll ask for your trust. You are tired from " the scholars of magic who are pointing fingers and sharing theories that I don´t believe are born from their own observations" ... I said in a previous post in this thread ", I studied different opinions, "used my head"...

Dunno about you, but I like to study sleight of hand deeply, this seems to be fun and rewarding at the same time. Anyway, The passes you saw ( riffle and jiggle ) are not meant ( for me ) to be controls as much as color changes. Especially the last one. I repeat, the jiggle is not a control...

Glad you're working out with Brad. I don't go to conventions either ( more like because I live far away from all the action ), but I talk with magicians online chatting and sessioning. Its real fun. I'll PM you on the dark Vs Punk thread soon mate ( 1am here ) Regards,

RichmanMatthew, thats for the words man. I'm still having problems with the webcam issue, you know, being broke at the moment .. >__<' I updated the thread to provide a better write up. I added alot of stuff that will make the thread waaay bigger ( misconception 5. Also added a new...

Give up what excatly?! Where is the philosophy above? I really want to know where man. Sorry about the Ultimate Control thingy, I didn't mean pointing fingers to you, I just think its the proper ... term, to deliver my point. I would love to meet any magician to show him ( and he showing me...

Here is the idea. Don't take the online community as a representation for the magic community ( I still didn't see you reply to Brad's points ), and stop making your opinions and make them sound as facts. You might not know it but some look you an "elitist", who ( and this is purely describing...

From reading Steerpike's posts in the past, me and many others can tell you this: These is THE EXACT PROBLEMS Steerpike, dare I say, suffer from. Steerpike, I think its time to tell you this. I personally and other people don't comment on your threads for the above exact reasons. We know that...

When did I look down on the pass! I'm a pass freak! I just know when to use it! What you said above, you want to invisibly make the card go to the top of the aces. What you said above can be done 2 ways. You either do a pass, the aces go to the middle. Now you have to keep a break after the...

I wanted it ABOVE the aces. If you wanted it below them, a cover pass or Tilt are good, depending on what you're doing. JCwebs09, I studied different opinions, "used my head", put some of mine and put them together here. :)

Go to your window, take the cetains out of the way and open it loudly. Ask about what did you just do, they'll answer: "you opened the window", no one will say "you moved the certains". :) Fred Kaps used to say "misdirect all the time", Card College 2 goes into detail in this in the...
