    Ulmen Trials

    I know people who do. In fact, a roommate of mine preferred to wear cloaks instead of jackets. And let's not start on Trekkies... That's assuming the office dress code would even allow it. To my knowledge, XCM does not have a universally recognized dress code unless you count "Abercrombie...

    Ulmen Trials

    By the same magnificently bad logic, I should stop wearing baseball caps and shirts with a Batman logo on them. I am neither a baseball player, nor Batman. I should probably also get a shave and a haircut because I'm also not Aragorn, son of Arathorn. You want to talk childish? You sound...

    Marketing tool. Captain Obvious... away! /whoosh!

    Do YOU want to see your creations published?

    Believe it or not, that wasn't intended as an insult. You being this defensive just proves my point. You're too stuck on the formula you're following now to listen to someone who's trying to help you.

    Do YOU want to see your creations published?

    It's that kind of stubborn adherence to a formula that's holding you back.

    Do YOU want to see your creations published?

    That's the thing. Everybody loves to buy, bot nobody likes to be sold. Some people won't click on the link to the thread out of mistrust because they will think you're selling something. I only clicked because I'm a cynic and wanted to see if I was right.

    Maybe it's just me, but it seems a little odd to say you have no opinion on something. The only way not to have an opinion about something is to not know it exists.

    Do YOU want to see your creations published?

    My first thought on reading this thread was, "Okay, what are you selling." You really should learn to be more discreet.

    Your Thoughts: Women in the Industry?

    It's called the halo effect. Remember the main demographic of this forum.

    Your Thoughts: Women in the Industry?

    That's the thing. Most of the guys clamoring for more women in magic can't even buy beer legally. And if they know how to talk to women, they certainly have me fooled.

    Your Thoughts: Women in the Industry?

    That's the thing, guy. Freedom of speech does not apply to private property. Message boards are virtual space, but they count as privately owned property. And while you're on someone else's property, you abide by their rules. On topic, threads like this are a symptom of why we don't have as...

    Weekly Debate: Question #4 (Refined)

    Like I said, most people who talk about cheating are lying rather than confessing. I'm actually attending a lecture on Thursday by Sal Piacente, the expert in cheats and gambling cons. He's trained security at Vegas casinos and consulted the FBI. Should be interesting.

    Weekly Debate: Question #4 (Refined)

    I said admit, not lie.

    Ulmen Trials

    This coming from a guy who doesn't even know what they are. 50 bucks says you've never seen a Jeff McBride stage show. I love how you all seem to think that pageantry is for losers. You're such rebels. Law of averages says we have to agree on something eventually. Honestly, I find...

    Weekly Debate: Question #4 (Refined)

    Question: Who here would actually admit to being a con artist?

    Battle tournament to decide next theory11 artist?

    At this point, I have to say that Brian/Namie shows many of the symptoms of a pathological liar.

    Battle tournament to decide next theory11 artist?

    Because some people fail to realize this is a magic messageboard instead of a Halo 3 tournament.

    Battle tournament to decide next theory11 artist?

    Having the forums battle it out to be a Theory 11 artist would be like picking a high school teacher out of the winners of a spelling bee.

    "Be one of the few to own them"

    You mean they want you to spend your money on stuff?! Good god, this changes everything!

    Control - Worth the buy?

    Not a coincidence so much as a contrivance. Most magicians don't market effects until they've been working with them for a while. Cyril more than likely called in Wayne as one of his consultants for one or more of his TV specials.
