When I first got my Micro ITR I purchased a little $2.00 booklet called "Invisible Thread Reel: A how to guide 4 everyone," by David Blevins. The Keven James effect was taught in there but I don't know where you can find that booklet anymore?

lol, My mind is churning with the possibilities. How many of those "expensive" illusions I have seen were really just some guy back stage with an RC car!

There was a booking agent/magician,( Brian Caswell I think?) who did a series of downloads for Penguin Magic a while back. One of the things he mentioned he looks for when he considers signing a magician is the ability in any circumstance to be prepared to perform on the spot. So in that sense I...

The finale, "Lucky" had me on the edge of my seat. I kept thinking....Derren you better put away your psychology boy hat and dust off your magic boy hat!

I'm trying to figure out how he held the camera?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4sQrgTeGfks&feature=related Interesting concept for a show. The whole series asks some interesting questions.

Too bad for you some of us specialize in mind reading....Now just write that idea down on this perfectly ordinary looking impression de.....errr...notebook!

Ohhh...I like the ninja sword... I didn't mean to be flippant. I've just usually seen the performer manually spring the cards into the air and stab from there.

Well said Mike.

That's awsome that you enjoyed that movie so much....can't remember the last time a movie moved me to tears. I think it was "Best of the Best."

Yes people are doing it, yes some are doing it live, Yes some of these videos could be considered art, but I never said that most were, nor did anyone else who has posted with a positive attitude towards cardistry. I really don't think anyone has denies that at all. Many of us have just been a...

Well to the broader audience, outside of magic, film and film editing, is considered an artform. At least members of the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences would have you believe that. You can feel free to disagree and be justified in doing so. I don't think Modern Art is art and it...

ROFL Actually that's what a lot of magic is anyway. Craig Browning and I have been kind of having an interesting conversation on another thread. What came up was how many effects created 50, 60, 70 years ago will still totally fry lay audiences in their original form and yet a new "cleaner" more...

Sorry it took a while to reply. Honestly you left me little to say Craig. Your insight into the stage craft side of things is quite informative. It is a tough line to draw progressing the art and some "hack" knocking off another's effect. Your point about competing companies coming out with...

OMG....I only bought 100 of them. lol. But I heard that the Mandolins are actually on a really nice stock and finish. Never the less...I still get to perform the original :) ....just... not as much as you :(

Okay so you are basically being argumentative for whatever mysterious reason. Fair enough. Free country. I won't waste any more time with you.

So you circled around my argument only to come back to the same conclusion that I and 90% of everyone on this thread has already said. It's time for cardists to take their art out of the confines of their safe inner circle and perform in the real world. What's your motivation for contributing to...

No your logic is a bit off. You are trying to say that they can't therefore they don't. That is quite a bit different from, they haven't tried therefore we don't really know. As a writer the first analogy that pops in my head are the many novelists who didn't write there first book until later...
