That requires ambition. Not many people have that. Or we could listen to people and learn to tell apart the masters from the wannabes. You skipped over the part where I explained why that would suck, didn't you?

No, I'm pretty sure this has nothing to do with magic in your eyes, and everything to do with what you find convenient. It's the same story with everyone who asks for an off-topic forum in a highly specialized messageboard.

Similarly, I used to frequent a messageboard about music. A couple years ago they established an off-topic board. The off-topic section now gets more traffic than all the other sections combined, and all of the posts look like a knock-off of 4chan. If that mental image doesn't cause your...

Hmm... No one seems to have taken the bait. Perhaps they're not as gullible as I assumed. Well, as long as I'm thinking of it, anybody who was thinking of telling me that I'm wrong in doing what was described above would have just condemned the use of a public library. It's funny to me...

No it's not, kid. That rather crosses the t, doesn't it? It's a laugh and a half that people make all these excuses for their childish whinging and they actually think that the rest of us are so stupid we'll fall for it.

Quotes like this are quite nauseating in their self-righteousness. They betray a lack of understanding in how the real world works, a lack of comprehension further confirmed by this: We can wax nobility and economic chivalry all we want, but that ignores moral relativism. It's a very...

Since when does harem girl porn come in PDF format?

Predictably, Jay hates custom decks. Jeff McBride has never spoken one way or the other to my knowledge, though based on his background and his use of Magic Castle cards and his own custom decks, he seems rather ambivalent. As if he could take it or leave it. But of course, this is Jeff...

What did you think I was talking about?

And they will. Because this is ridiculous. Michael's assertion that us being magicians makes everything we talk about magic related is infantile at best, insane at worst. Suppose I wanted to create a thread to discuss the historical ramifications the schism in the Christian church that...

I was going to bed, but I spotted this and couldn't pass it up. I used to pirate PDFs. I don't anymore because now I actually have an income. Notice the second half of that sentence. Things get very interesting when we add a little nuance to the issue.

The question is pointless because no one has suggested doing that. If the brand of cards they're using is remarkable enough for you to use as an argument, you're doing it wrong.

Jonny Ramone played his entire career on $40 Mosrite guitar. Still, I don't see what this obtuse analogy has to do with my argument in the slightest.

You're pitting guys with real world experience either against each other in mindless showdowns, or you have them out-magicking teenagers armed with a webcam and a pack of guardians. Personally, I would rather duct tape my eyelids open, put my head in a vice, and be forced to watch Disaster Movie.

I say thee nay.

Ah, but that raises some interesting questions. Does this principle apply exclusively to card magic? And if not, where does that leave a coin magician using coins of a currency not in circulation in his country? And what of illusionists? I don't believe I've run across too many Zig-Zags at...

No one has mentioned Jeff McBride and the Art of Card Manipulation series. Hmm...

It could also be because your knowledge of magic begins and ends at message boards like this one.

I have a mythos.
