I absolutely agree, I just think that this is the wrong context in which to discuss it.

Hey! Welcome to T11. It's really cool here. You'll like it. Just remember, be cool to others and others will be cool to you. It's like the golden rule, but with a lower heat capacity. Again, welcome, and when you get a chance, look over the forum guidelines.

Well, I define my magical comfort zone in terms of letting my audiences know that magic isn't real and that everything they see is just an illusion. So I'm going to create a persona. My plan is to go the the French Quarter one night this week and perform for people as a person who may or may...

Hows about a trivia contest?

I'm not quite sure if I'm at liberty to say... Let's just say that I had not come across all of the sleights before. There were some that were rather bold. It is worth learning, though, in my opinion, if only to learn the sleights. It all-in-all adds a cool minute-long trick to your...

Please let that be a joke...(not about Penn and Teller being awesome. That's no BS. They're bomb-diggity.) But I will say this. I agree with cbols23. This thread is really quite pointless. It is not furthering anyone's intellectual horizons in the realm of magic, at least not mine.

I believe it's just the natural process of coins rubbing against one another over a long period of time. They become less defined and "softer." Really the only method I know to "age" coins by as to own them for a long period of time... Hope that helps.

Right, and I'm saying that it makes no sense. What is your solution? All you're doing is being hypocritical by inciting another "witchhunt" (which is two words, by the way: witch hunt). You still haven't proposed a solution.

So then what is it about? I got your "joke." Very funny. I have not guffawed that much since Criss Angel did magic for chimpanzees. So what is this all about? What are you trying to accomplish?

The Trick: Unicoin, whence four and only four coins venture from one right hand to the left, one at a time, only to lose their collective nerve and all-at-once return to the right hand. The Magician: Chris Kenner (that is, the same Chris Kenner who brought us the fun house of sorts known as...

Oy vey! I clutch my side in laughter.

I would actually go so far as to say that the One-Handed Popover is a flourish, as it's a flashy way to display a selection. Aaron Fisher actually kind of refers to the move as a flourish in his book. No, it's not a huge fancy cut, but it's still something of an accoutrement. The same with...

All I really mean it that I'm just too lazy to want to do any setup, which is partially true...

"Coinone" was a routine by Homer in "Magic Man Examiner," CK's ungerground magic magazine, originally known as "Four Coins and a Filipino." It requires a gimmick (which isn't exposing anything, just saying). Chris Kenner's "The Deep" is his four-coin-only coins across routine, which is...

Hmmm... Maybe it just wasn't all that funny... Which is fine. Not everyone can be an Andy Kaufman.

I guess I thought you had finally just said screw it and drunk a whole bottle of Tide bleach, or something...

I watched the preview vid. The little 9-year-old says a cuss word...very cute. How impromptu is it?

Hey, are you from NOLA?

Oh, thank god you're just kidding. I was about to write a very angry reply and then realized that that didn't sound like you at all. But jeez, maybe you should just say in your parent post that you were kidding, save me the stress...

This is one of the most fun tricks to perform for me. So many possibilities with the presentation. Remember that you have to take the "lie detector" cards out in two groups, and make sure you lay them down like it says. Have fun with this one.
