It just never occurred to me before that I love to lie. Magic is great! It condones lying to people (for me, at least).

Indeed it is.

Isn't a "pre-review" actually a...preview?

I performed today for a couple of German exchange students and some not German exchange students (this has nothing to do with anything, just FYI). They kept hammering me with questions: How do I do this, how does the card change, how do you make this disappear, etc. I lied. I told them...

Then it becomes more of a trick and less and effect. But ti's still pretty damn funny. They're like "are you OK?" And you're like "BLA!"

So it's not cheating to do that? Thank god!

I'm having some trouble with Aaron Fisher's one hand popover move. I keep losing my grip of the card with my third finger and I can never get my second finger in the correct position to push down on the bottom packet. Could somebody please offer some advice or PM me? Thank you.

Well, for every cookie you don't eat, I'll die just a little bit on the inside. So by listening to your nutritionist, you're slowly killing me. Thanks. Thanks a lot.

Not to the best of my knowledge. If it is, it isn't called that. What does the effect look like? Hermann shift is in the book, though.

This is truly a tight community. Emphasis on the community part.

Indiddily-dee.

I feel like another great thing about the t11 forums is that in a way, the members almost police it. We all know what's ok and what isn't. We help each other out. (I need to stop this before I break out into song...) The moderators here are like guides, not members of the red party...

What I really like about it here is that it's just so damn happy-go-lucky. I honestly have a good time here talking with everyone.

Oy vey, I was just at the E forums. I can't breathe there. Here it's nice and warm. Here it's like America. There it's like East Germany. I'm just going to watch 6 old coins with CK and Dori. That will take the empty feelings away. We may not acknowledge this as much as we should...

I'm a Jew and for me, Judaism is more of an attitude with a set of customs than a religion. This attitude affects everything I do, but it really has an impact on the presentation of my magic. I never claim what I do to be magic or an act of god. In fact, before every performance I make a...

What I'm wondering is if I showed it to Penn and Teller, would they yell at me for being a fake? I have the utmost respect for Penn and Teller--I couldn't stand to be deemed a phony by them...

Wow. No kidding. Boy do I feel stoopid.

If I were on an airplane that crash-landed in the middle of the Amazon Rain Forest and I were captured by natives and had only one chance to impress them lest I be put in a pot of boiling water, would Control be the trick to do? In other words, can I do it naked, surrounded, with the...

Well, no, because I don't do that effect. But I would make a joke like that. I like awkward situational comedy more than rim tap punchline comedy. This isn't to say that if the opportunity presents itself I wouldn't tell a good joke, but the bulk of my patter, while not scripted, revolves...

That works.
