I am definitely game. I've already got a few coins by my laptop this time (I still couldn't find any cards--which is weird, because I have quite a few decks (40-ish), so I'm thinking I may be going blind or developing Alzheimer's, heh). I'm just starting into coin magic, so I'm only just...

Plus the person who hosts it, making seven total. :)

That was definitely a lot of fun...hopefully next time I'll have some cards handy. Justin, that was some awesome magic. Same with everyone else who was doing stuff, great job guys! Edit: Oh yeah, my quote: "That was bliss for my eyes, but hell for my brain!" ~ Scott McNalty Loved the trick, man!

Yeah, it works now. But, I'm multi-tasking a bit too much to join at the moment. Just thought I'd try it to let you, and others, know whether or not it works.

Apparently a member who's under 18, or is on your friend list. That's the message I got, anyway.

Ohh, I must have misread. Sorry, my bad. Off topic: Those clothes are EXPENSIVE. o_O I like the black jeans with the cards on it (front pocket, and both back pockets), though; it's really nice (not $295 nice, but still nice).

I've seen the line of clothes that feature the "cards" on them (keyword: seen), but I haven't had the chance to actually even find the cards (let alone get the chance to buy them, or price check them). =/ So yeah, if anyone finds them online, please do send a PM this way. Thanks! :)

I may be thinking of the wrong trick, but I thought Joe Blow was just Danny's handling of a really old trick that appears pretty much everywhere, like in kids magic books and stuff? Either way, I haven't heard much about this; thanks for the heads up.

It's a website...so yes. :) Also, for those using a Mac who are interested int he IRC channel, we can't use mIRC (since it's Windows only)--but, you may want to look into Colloquy. It's a great IRC client for Macs.

This could be an idea for an SNC, I suppose? What were you talking about, though? Flourishing? Doing tricks? Either way, it sounds like SNC material (although, I'm not sure if it's been done before).

And yet another question goes unanswered...this forum makes me "lol" sometimes. Howl: I have not heard any other releases being confirmed yet. Word has it (in this thread, even, I think?) that there is supposed to be a future release (or releases) at some point, but it's supposedly not going...

If you're just looking for the boxes, they sell used casino decks like that (not Wynns, from what I could find) at the dollar stores around here (for a dollar, if that wasn't obvious) in those types of boxes. So, I'd suggest checking out the dollar stores in your area.

Some people do care about the rarity, though. I understand that you want the deck, as do I and many other people, but that's no excuse for ignoring the needs of those people. But, like I said, an easy fix to that is making them slightly different and marking that they're second editions or...

Agreed. Just slapping "second edition" somewhere on the box, and making a minor change to the cards would solve the problem of the rarity. Everybody wins this way!

I'm glad you knew what I was referring to--the name was on the tip of my tongue, and was barely escaping me, heh. But yes, I was referring to the halo effect. Just to note, there's also a reverse halo effect--so having an undesirable trait can influence how you're perceived (more negatively...

This makes sense--being attractive brings about with it some assumptions that people tend to make (usually unconsciously); attractive people are assumed to be more friendly, intelligent, and socially competent, for example (even in the absence of any other information about them, other than just...

Sadly, magic is one of those gender-stereotyped hobbies/professions. When people think magic, they think guys. Why? Because that tends to be what they see (for the most part)--male magicians. The more females that do get into magic (without requiring a female role-model), however, the more...

Sinful: Hey, an iguana! I used to have one...it sat around a lot, doing a lot of...well, nothing. Well, it did poop a lot. Other than that, it just mainly sat on its heat rock. Yuppers.

Your betting system changes, and that would likely be how they catch you. Card counters display certain betting patterns, which are picked up on my security, and out the door you go. Although, I'm not sure card counting is all that popular anymore, being that they have measures to try to stop...

It looks alright. It seems to have the potential to be a really good movie (it seems to rely on a sophisticated storyline, from the trailer--which I'm really hoping it does), or a huge disappointment (similar to another "epidemic" movie about some virus from a bomb, or whatever--I forget what...
