    TV Show Concept

    LOL. Do a Time to be Awesome type thing - a special TV show for magicians online (Since who else would honestly care, lol).

    Hardest Sleight

    I was there along with DLeerium. I can only say that it was the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen. He got his old Studs, weaved them perfectly, cascaded. Placed the deck onto the table, squared it up. Not roughly, squared it up perfectly. Then reaches over, strips it out, exactly as it was...

    TV Show Concept

    For the sake of magic, I'd say this would fail epicly. The reason being is that the premise of the show presents magic as a logic puzzle, nothing more. Magic presented as a puzzle ceases to create astonishment but instead wallows as a triviality. Furthermore, there is of course much more to...

    Hardest Sleight

    lol. Yeah that was crazy. Anti-faro is ridiculously hard, as is Raise Rise - Ray Kosby...

    Which cards are cheap and last the most?

    Ah give him a break, I wasn't sure for a while either when I started :P

    Racer Back - First Print

    I think it only means the same thing as "First Editions" would mean on any other pack of cards. ^^

    Control

    If you can perform it, yes. If you can't, you're wasting your money. By which I mean: Are you mature enough as a performer, and if you ask for silence in a group, will you get it? Do you know when to perform what? You need to be able to command a certain air of authority in order to set the mood...

    RDChopper VS. Nexusmagic

    That's cool guys, I just wanted to make sure. And nexus, to clarify - I don't battle any more because it's magicians judging magicians, which for me loses all usefulness in terms of showing my material and testing material. My experience from watching battles is that magicians vote for what is...

    Propaganda

    It's a tagline that pretty much follows the general theme of the propaganda deck. It's a clever way to tell you that it's designed to high standards, as were the Guardians and Centurions.

    Aspiring Card Magician - Help

    GBORN - Sonata is not in print and/or otherwise available at all. Hence Sean surmised that the only way to get it was by downloading. Tamariz is his favourite author. While I commend you for the choice of material, I would simply add that you should know that it is considered highly unethical...

    Card College?

    If you started with Tarbell, chances are you've gotten a good start. I wouldn't say that it's compulsory, no. But I'm sure you'll find stuff you didn't no, some pointers for old moves, stuff like that. There will be helpful stuff, but not compulsory.

    t11 - Eleven Days of Magic : Christmas Contest - DAY NINE WINNERS

    Wow, someone from Sydney won. I'd love to hear from Ben, whoever that is, out of interest o.O I'd laugh if there was just a full list of people with similar names to prominent members. A Sean P, a Dylan R, a Richman N, etc. haha.

    RDChopper VS. Nexusmagic

    Hey guys. First off, vote went to RDC, well done on that. RD: 0:51, careful of the squaring :) Nexus: Just more flow, the sleights didn't really flash per se but it did look awkward at times. For example the tilt - it took too long, and the subtlety of pushing middle cards out happened before...

    True Astonishment Giveaway

    Not enough to get me to buy from E.. Honestly, with something like this, I generally prefer to buy with the people who originally stock them if possible. It's a nice competition, though.

    Hot Shot pop out move

    Don't push slow, making a jerking movement with some force. If it's slowly coming out, it sounds like there isn't enough force. This post sounds so incredibly sus...

    Bringing People to Jesus through Magic

    Believing two opposing beliefs is not at all what I'm saying. I'm not asking people to believe in two opposing beliefs, I'm asking that people accept that others hold that opposite belief, respect that fact, and refrain from taking unnecessary cheap shots at said opposite belief. You don't have...

    David Blaine: Dive of Death - Trick

    Pretty sure Gustav is right - it's from Pit Hartling's Card Fictions. I don't have the book though so I couldn't give it to you in more detail.
