You're talking about double D's in a hobby store? What hobby store do you go to? :P

Haha, tourettes. That sounds perfectly fine to me man..

Might I offer the suggestion simply that you do a spell check? It'll help improve the overall professionalism of the video.

Part 2 of 2. Doug, I agree with your post almost completely. I think you're absolutely right. But to say that last line, I'm sorry, I mean no offense but I honestly think that that is a ludicrous assertion to make. I really really don't think the majority of the forum owns the book, sorry...

Again, a lot of posts, so I'll reply to some of the main ones that have been critical of my post, but thanks to everyone for their input. This post is again too long, so I apologise in advance for double posting to get to some posts. Part 1 of 2. Haha, yes you should change your name. *cough*...

NO ORIGINALITY! 41247863187648736/5. I heard 231 YouTubers have already messaged you about the title. Apparently, you stole it. Any truth to this rumour Sean?

Absolutely it can be very awkward. I guess it's just a balance between not being too matter of fact, but also not being too intrusive or too open/weird to the point of wanting to know everything about the person. But then again if you think about it, walking up to people and spreading a deck of...

It rather depends on where I'm performing and the circumstances of the performance. If I approach someone, I'll introduce myself, and then start talking to them about them - start a conversation about anything to the point where I almost forget about magic. Essentially, my goal is always to have...

EDIT: TeeDee brings up a very good point which I haven't considered before. In reading the following, keep in mind his advice where appropriate. Hey mate. I think that that advice is true depending on circumstance. If you approach someone on the street, in my opinion, that would not be the time...

*Curses* Sorry Toby, I haven't slept properly for 3 days. My bad. Although you are right about something, it's just my opinion, nothing more. I haven't intended to attack anyone, despite my disappointment at some of the replies. People are free to disagree, though I will try to defend my...

Yeah, you've got a point there. You're very right though about my first post, it kinda switched focus. I'm drawn off TOoC as a personal choice because it will be popularised. Is it so silly of me to not want to perform something that thousands of others perform? It's not like I'm choosing to...

Hey Sinful07, thanks for your reply. This is not a book vs DVD argument - I could offer a counterargument to what you've said in the arguments above, but I won't and frankly I can't be bothered, because it's not what I'm arguing. In response to the last paragraph above, I think you need to...

Fantastic way to completely ignore advice. Your sleights are impressive, but your magic will improve when you do.

Practice more in general. Until you improve your other videos and take advice into consideration, I don't see the point of giving you more advice to ignore.

Guys, I know I've posted many times in a row and I do apologise. But I'm really shocked at how much people have just completely missed or ignored in my original post. There are so many messages people have completely skipped in favour of simply criticising my post with replies which completely...

I have answered every aspect of your argument in some form in my numerous replies in this thread. So I will be brief, and not elaborate. Paragraphs 1 & 2: Read my post right above this one, because you've missed the point. I find it ironic that you're calling my comments biased, when you...

THANK THE LORD, A MODICUM OF INTELLIGENCE! I was starting to get frustrated at people who didn't get my post at all. Creative people will always be creative. But most aren't, so TOoc can very easily only compound the problem. Be popular! Do the popular thing! Show them what you can do! My post...

Part 2 of 2 of the post. I totally agree James. It doesn't matter if someone has seen a specific effect. I think a LOT of people have totally missed the point here. All I can say is, read better. I am talking about experiences and expectations, not individual effects. Of course laymen don't...

There are a lot of replies here since I've been gone so I'll try and reply to the most focussed ones. Overall, having a quick read, a lot of you have simply missed the point. A warning: this post is too long and I will have to reply in two posts. Part 1 of 2. I know this was not a reply to me...

Hi Jon, thanks for replying. I am an actor first and foremost and hence in theatre, film and magic, have always performed for the audience. Many of my better posts in these forums have been about the encouragement of performing for an audience rather than for yourself. Of course, I don't...
