When I perform, I usually display a certain set of mannerisms--I believe most magicians do. I tend to be very loose, to have smooth almost fluid movements. I speak with eccentric, yet subdued language. As such, I try to integrate moves--the pass, tenkai, throwing cards, flourishes, etc.--into my...

As far as I'm concerned, Both E and T11 are nice high-end stores. Politically, how does any of this matter? It's America. We're allowed to shop at more than one store. Who cares who works for who? I"m positive that there will be many people who will be just as creative working on both sites...

Quintillions. And then sextillions (bow-chicka-bow-wow?). And then septillioins. And so on.

Hmmm... Why don't we call it a wrap on this thread. I doubt this will end up anywhere attractive. Sorry If I implied that anyone is a loser. You're all winners (or something)! Anybody seen Wes Anderson's new film yet? It was good (not spectacular).

Thank you so much. That really helps.

All I'll say to this is that I would hope that everyone who participates in this art would take pride in it. All I'll say to this is that it was already addressed. Take time to read the entire thread before you so assumingly post. Think before you type/speak.

I'm having trouble with the actual top shot move. I get what my index and thumb are doing, but I'm having trouble with the pinky part. Any advice?

I think Longman is confused...

I absolutely agree with you up until the last two paragraphs. The point is still that magicians do magic and I believe that magic, when it is performed needs to be done for a live audience, not other magicians on youtube. I'm not saying it's bad to do magic for other magicians. I'm just...

How did I miss out on this one? Where can I find it?

It was a strong opinion...? I don't know. What do you mean? I'm not stupid (no, really). I know people aren't going to stop doing something jut because I think they should. As I've said before, the title of the post was meant to be attention-grabbing and specific. I'm not really sure...

I generally only use blue masters, so I was wondering, for those of you who use more flashy custom cards, do your spectators often comment on the cards, or do they subconciously acknowledge the awesomeness?

How is Ultra smoke 2000? Do you like it? What ways do you use it in?

I have never made a video of magic. I perform live, exclusively. Please don't make assumptions about what I do. It doesn't make me feel very good. Also, I'm not telling people that they aren't allowed to make videos. What I'm trying to express is that I don't like the direction magic is...

1. Do not ever try and tell somebody they cannot have an opinion. 2. Read the entire thread before you try to make yourself sound smart. You obviously only read the title. 3. You've got some spinach in your teeth.

Let's get this out of the way. Profanity is really not a big deal at all. It exists, and just like everything else that exists, one must deal with it. Watch this: Damn. Did you see that? Are you going to die? Just be mature.

It's a damn expensive country if you ask me. And just like people are allowed to post whatever they want, so am I allowed to urge them not to. Get it tpa? Tuh-pah? T-paw?

And glad I am. Hungry too. Tacos anybody?

Alright, let's agree to disagree. Just because somebody has good slick undetectable moves, doesn't make what they do a good performance. What makes a good performance is a good performer. Take Max Malini, for instance. He had a handicap of very small hands, but made up for it with the...

And another thing. Virtually every internet webcam performance is bereft of patter. How can one perform without patter? Perhaps this name is familiar: Jean-Eugene Robert Houdin. He was born in 1805. He basically pioneered the art of magic, making it what it is today. His philosophy...
