    Custom Cards Are Bad?

    Because any prop is suspicious if you act like it. I already told you to PM me. I don't feel like getting into another public argument right now, as I'm in too good a mood to let the rabble here spoil my day.

    Magician Angela Funovits

    I stand by my previous statement. I do haunted magic, but there's a huge disclaimer on my website saying that its for entertainment purposes only. This is to both protect my clients emotionally and myself legally. Callahan didn't think ahead and provide himself with an out.

    Slight difference between lying about making cards magically rise out of a deck and lying about the dead.

    Custom Cards Are Bad?

    1. Stop stealing my jokes. 2. Stop projecting. Honestly, the whole idea that you shouldn't use custom cards because the spectators will be suspicious is a crock. You either wear the deck, or the deck wears you. People who use custom cards are not inherently better than you, nor are you...

    Diary of a Nitwit Magician

    And in that, you missed the point entirely. Morgician progressed the character to someone who has finally started understanding his wrongs, then you rewind the clock all the way back to his actions in the first entries in order to have a cheap laugh for your amusement and no one else's.

    Brian Tudor?

    If you're going to lie, make it believable. It's because ... you can read his thoughts. Anyone trying to read it. ... Then explain to us why anyone should be bothered to read it. If you can't type like a human being with an IQ higher than 50, then whatever you're saying probably...

    To say nothing of the political in-fighting... he said ironically.

    Diary of a Nitwit Magician

    /sigh Morgician, just so you know if you need a shoulder to cry on, I'm here. I swear, it seems the point of this thread is so far beyond most of these rabble that the only way they'll ever see it is through The Hubble telescope.

    Flourishes Ruining Magic?

    And flourishes are the only way to do that? I perform haunted magic. If I'm doing a seance with tarot cards, apportations, and all sorts of other spookey phenomena, busting out a Sybil cut is just going to wreck the atmosphere and guarantee that I never get booked again.

    I stand by my previous statement. Disdain and apathy do not work if you use them as an argument.

    Cool Off Tudor

    Regardless of your usual taste in music I recommend you give him a try. I really do think that there's a lot of crossover in the artistic world. It's well worth your time to try something new every now and again. You may find something you like that will have a positive influence on you...

    Cool Off Tudor

    I liken it to the guitar music of Al di Meola. Al can play any tempo he wants, and it always sounds achingly beautiful. Anybody else here a fan of Al?

    Cool Off Tudor

    Yes, Brian Tudor said it. It must be true. What not to say on a date.

    Writing Books

    At the moment, the only real advice I can offer would be to check out a book or two on self-publishing or getting published at all. No doubt that the magic business does a couple things differently from those who print novels, but I imagine the industry operates in a lot more uniform fashion...

    Writing Books

    Well, we don't really have much to go on right now. Could you give me a little background? What sort of effects are you looking to market? How long have you been using them? Are you looking for a smaller booklet, or a compendium of effects? Is there a specific niche of magicians who would...

    Cool Off Tudor

    That cop out took longer than I thought. The argument is now officially spiralling the drain as the Tudor apologists are done scraping the bottom of the barrel for arguments and are now checking underneath it.

    Cool Off Tudor

    Either you're very bad at quoting people, or what he said was the equivalent of when Sam Totman of DragonForce said that they don't write slow songs because playing at warp speed is their gimmick. The only difference is that DragonForce are bloody awesome and really fun to watch live...

    Cool Off Tudor

    If that's case, why does he need you to defend him from me? He may be an ***, but he's also a grown man. He doesn't care what people like who already weren't buying his DVDs have to say, and he cares about his apologists even less. Who else is doing Patterless magic without MouthGarbage? D&D...

    Comedy in Magic

    From the sound of things, your moves are all you've got. Far be it from me to judge, but everything you've said so far leaves me with the impression that as a performer you have the personality of a cardboard box and all your effects amount to little more than masturbation. No, they want to...
