    Help with cards in bottle.

    That or you could wonder around the world. I'm not sure all of his bottles have been found yet.....probably be cheaper just to buy one.

    Quick effect (and sleight question)

    The concept of the effect is fine as it is. I wouldn't scrap what you are doing, just change the revelation of the card. For instance, bottom palms and gambler's cops both work excellently in conjunction with that move. Once palmed the sky is the limit. Dribble cards on the table and snatch the...

    Quick effect (and sleight question)

    Ahhh! Yep. If it goes bottom it is a modification of the Kelly bottom replacement. If it goes to the top then it is a clipshift. Daniel Madison has done a lot of work on the Kelly bottom replacement. It is a beauty of a move. A friend of mine, Chris Beason, does a metric TON of moves all based...

    Quick effect (and sleight question)

    It looks like a side steal into a Tenkai and an immediate replacement to either the top or bottom. If I am close to your actual technique then I'm not sure if there is anyone who claims credit for it. It is just the sort of thing people start doing once they learn both of those techniques.

    My Classic Pass

    Yeah I figured you probably did. I don't mean to come off sounding as if you have a "Loud" Pass. It was just the most noticeable flaw in what I saw. So like ...Your speed 90%, your covering moves 95%, the noise 85%. Basically I like it all, I just like that the noise the least.

    I don't want but I want...

    Okay it seems my sarcasm went over a few heads. It appears as if some of you think E is selling a deck of cards for $150.....They are NOT. They are "Giving away" a deck of LTD.s for purchases of $150. If you will notice on their promo page they are also "giving away" some deck seals for...

    I don't want but I want...

    Who said that those cards were worth $150? Or that they will ever get to $400? I spent a couple hundred at Penguin one year and got Greg Wilson's Ring Leader DVD as a bonus.....Does that mean ring leader is worth $150?

    I don't want but I want...

    I'm a pretty big card nut and even I wouldn't spend $150.00 on magic I don't want just to get a deck. Remember...the key word is "bonus." If there is $150 worth of magic at E that you really want then go for it and enjoy your "bonus," but you don't want to load your bottom drawer with crap just...

    On-the-Spot Coin Bender

    Honestly Formula, you don't need to justify your choice by nitpicking handling quirks. One is a $40.00 gimmick the other is a $500 one. Unless you are a full time working pro or a or a very well to do amateur it is kind of a moot point. If you are really strapped for cash but you have the...

    My Classic Pass

    It sure is fast and it makes for a pretty change. I am by no means a pass expert and if you put mine on video it wouldn't look anywhere near as good as that however, I use the pass frequently in performance because I 1st. Misdirect (which I am not saying you don't do) and 2nd. I keep it silent...

    "Throwing Star" A fun little Sandwich effect

    Thanks guys. I hear you on the angles. Believe me I really wanted to get all sleights in the shot but with this type of effect I would really need a camera person to follow the flow or shoot from so far away you couldn't see much. No worries, You didn't miss much. Most of the moves are in shot...

    Is it good to be a bit too "flashy"

    I definitely agree with that. Character is the key. I love Ricky Jay's character but I don't think a "Magical" presentation is even what he is after. The thing to keep in mind, and I think this is similar to what you are driving at, is that it isn't a terrible thing to present it as skill. If...

    Powerful, Easy, Direct Mental Magic

    You might check this out. I don't have it so I can't give it a personal recommendation but I have read some good reviews. http://www.penguinmagic.com/p/S8362 I'm a little unsure of the whole deal behind Longman's Acidus Novus. Obviously I have seen it sold for $150 but then Zengg teaches it in...

    "Throwing Star" A fun little Sandwich effect

    The first three minutes is the effect. The rest is a review for a deck that most of you already have. Love to hear your thoughts. Cheers, http://vimeo.com/33067110

    Derren Brown Shows

    Don't search google. Go to youtube and type in Derren Brown. Once you get most of the way through his name a pop down menu shows up with the sub heading of most of his shows. Then you can follow the drop down menu to whatever catches your fancy. Most of his TV shows, specials, and stage shows...

    Is it good to be a bit too "flashy"

    See, I think if "Magical" is what you are after, even this goes too far. Two quick examples that come to mind are Guy Hollingsworth and Jamy Ian Swiss. Neither of these guys jump into crazy flourishes when performing but both have an obviously elegant style in how they handle cards. As a result...

    Is it good to be a bit too "flashy"

    There is nothing inherently wrong with adding flourishes to your magic. I do it all the time to great effect. The key is keeping it "appropriate." What I mean is that when you do flourishes it is kind of tipping the fact that you are good with cards. That in turn tips the fact that you can...

    T-11 Sentinels: Deck Review

    Okay so I finally got a chance to put the Sentinels through their paces and I have to admit the first impressions were not far off. It is an outstanding deck and easily the best of the Theory 11 line(though now that they have released the Monarchs I'll have to check those out.) I have it on good...
