I did... Wow. Any encouragement would be nice. I understand constructive criticism, but...wooow... If you'd like I can simply delete my YouTube. Ian

Well, I do the best with what I have. My webcam's not that bad. Ian

I honestly forgot to put in music. I'll take care of that. Hmm...perhaps a new video is in order. I'm using a webcam so... Ian

Sit down! You, me, and Megatron are gonna have a little chat! Ian

Any additional help in this area would be tremendous. I'm still unsure as to what books to get... Ian

Congratulations! Happy birthday Zoe...literally! Can't wait until she starts magic....she might learn Five Speed before her first word! Ian

Erdnase transformations are found under 'Transformations' in Expert at the Card Table. Also, exposure is prohibited on the forums. So is too much chat talk. Ian

I'm not trying to tell anyone how to do anything. I would just like to see some forum rules followed, since it is in the rules. So I have nothing to not recommend. Is it my fault that I have bought good effects? I suppose, per your rules, if I had to pick one it'd be Revolution. And that was...

I'm only planning on getting the first five (Erdnase, RRTCM, Expert Card Technique, Bobo's, and Buckley's Card Magic...Professional). I have read most of Mysterious Stranger, and it is a good book. The bit on Paul Harris is hilarious. Which books in my possible selections or your own did you...

What are some books you find essential for magic? I'm looking to expand in all directions, particularly card magic, but I do want some variety. So far I have on my list Modern Coin Magic, Expert Card Technique, Erdnase, and Royal Road. Any others? I've looked at books like Smooth Operations, Art...

You know what a dictionary is? Right. You know what coin magic is? Right. Fuse them together. Bobo's. Ian [/THREAD]

In Fight Club, they created their own reality to destroy everyone else's. Isn't that what magicians do, last time I checked? Ian
