That's the thing though, the problem isn't that they know how the trick is done, it's that they don't feel entertained. I've performed for some people who have been able to catch a few of my sleights, including those who would normally be jerks and heckle, but they were so entertained that they...

Honestly, it's probably your performance. I'm not saying it to be mean, but rather honest, so you can improve on it. I've seen people make the same claim before (nice or mean heckler, knowing how they do it or just not getting great reactions--it's all the same in the end; you're not getting the...

Then you wouldn't be in Ontario or Alberta, heh. (I don't know the other province's sales tax off hand) But yeah, I forgot about tax. Although, I rarely ever talk about sales tax when talking about prices, because it differs from place to place. :) Either way, it's cheaper than buying them...

$2.89 USD is approx. $3.50 CAD, which is what they sell for at Wal-Mart in Canada (Morgician's estimate was a bit off). No thanks necessary. :) And I agree with those saying they smell funny. Maybe whatever it is that's causing the smell is the same thing that's causing the terrible handling. o_O

Very nice teaser! :)

You can send me some Split Spades Lions. It never hurts to be generous to your fellow magicians. ;)

Wow, to those saying to not vote, that's a TERRIBLE way to protest. If you don't like either of the candidates that much, you should STILL go out to vote, ESPECIALLY if you're a young voter (since they tend to have the poorest turnout). The BEST way to protest is to INVALIDATE your vote. Put...

Joshua: Ohh, right. That didn't even cross my mind--it's so automatic for me to just say "This is my take on so-and-so's trick" when performing a similar trick to someone else's that I didn't even think of it as an issue, heh. Also, I agree--you don't have to give credit. However, not doing...

They handle terribly. I'm not sure why, as they supposedly have the same finish as most other Bicycle decks. Maybe it has something to do with the ink, or the stock? I'm not sure, but it's bad. They look nice, though. I picked up a brick for that reason (not from ebay--rather, from Wal-Mart...

Joshua: I'm a little bit confused, so I'm hoping you can clear this up for me. If, in your hypothetical situations, you weren't planning to market the first two "situations" and only the third, where would you have credited these people in the first place, and why? Crediting is only an issue...

London, Ontario. :)

Like has been already said, while credit is not necessarily required, it is usually expected (there has been some backlash in the past (as well as recently) when a few companies/creators haven't given proper credit when they released some effects). Like hasn't yet been mentioned, the reason...

Happy Birthday Wayne! :)

I found most of the moves quite easy to learn. There's one move that's slightly harder than the rest to learn, but he gives you an easy alternative to that move. So, in essence, almost anyone could learn the routines (he gives more than one routine, although they're essentially the same with a...

Sankey Supernatural is good for magic (and even mentalism) that doesn't use cards or coins. Also, Richard Sanders has Interlace (ring to shoelace) and Fiber Optics (rope magic), which are both very good DVDs.

I remember hearing rumours of a "Magician X" or "Mr. X" or whatever before. The source probably isn't the best (my brother, haha), but he was telling me that there is a "Mr. X" who would sell their tricks to (ie. consult for) famous magicians like Criss Angel, David Blaine, etc. and that he...

By far the easiest method. If you're using an iPhone or iPod, you're likely already using iTunes anyway, so it's convenient and easy. :)

Personally, I find it rude when people don't put forth the effort to search for something on their own first before they go to a website and expect others to do the work for them. It may just be me, I don't know. Anyway, I suggest going to download.com and searching for "ipod video...

Some of us are just figments of your imagination...o_O On topic: I hope nobody uses any of the ideas mentioned...I'd like to see some original material posted on here. I wonder if people can be funny without relying on other peoples' jokes and stuff. :confused:

The posts were made before the first post was edited to include that (which likely happened because of all the posts complaining about not being able to enter).
