lol @ people who don't read the entire thread before posting mindlessly. JDEN - you can trust Amane's opinion, he's experienced, I'd go with that :)

Hey man... You gotta put some of these comments in perspective, yeah? I'm sure no-one meant anything offensive - I know Amane personally, and he's direct but very, very helpful - and he's incredible with coins. So here's the deal. They're good effects, yeah? First thing down, they're good...

Whaaaat? Dude, I'm sure that's true, but since when is this is "Show stuff you haven't practiced" forum? The battle arena is meant to be exactly that, a battle. Which implies that the battles you partake in should be showing your skills... This is really like performing an effect you learned a...

IMO, you should get it for the sleights and the principles, BUT, there are many solid effects also.

Thank you for this review, it's obvious you've put a lot of thought into this, and there are some interesting points. Re: you comparison to raise rise - I've only ever seen one person who could perform it live, and that looked absolutely ridiculous, would prefer that over Riot as performed in...

Hey mate - yeah that's exactly what I was saying regarding having some sort of motion. I had a look at your video, and I dunno... I mean, it was a good performance, don't get me wrong, it just... It, as well as the 1-on-1 preview video, lacked... It lacked flair, it lacked any sort of...

Yay for Australia! Welcome mate :)

And I third or fourth the opinion that you're not comfortable with the cards. The slipshot was very, very fiddly, so it looks like you just need to practice more to get those motions down. Also setting up Open Travelers was very awkward... Fumbling with cards... The routine without patter...

About $600 worth of books. QQ.

Ok, let me rephrase a comment I made earlier into a question (which was answered by one person but I want more opinions - but thank you Kevin). How much room do you have to the added presentation? I don't really care for the method, I'm sure it's genius, as is the gimmick, and I'm not bashing at...

JB: 3 Andrei: 6

John G's notes are indeed good, as is the Jack Parker book. As far as pure sleights go maybe check out some of Marlo's stuff..

Hey man - yeah that's right, I love the wonder that it [magic] brings... lol I love French... Hope to see you in two weeks man...

I partially agree with C=B... Is it just me or is it possible to do too little? I will say outright that I do not have it and have not tried it. From watching DH though, my feelings are simply as follows: Must be a really clever method/gimmick... And it doesn't look well presented. I mean, in...

Holy ****. Chris, I just wanted to post here again, almost 24 hours since I posted the above post - it's 11:03 PM here, and I'm STILL freaking out and ridiculously pumped about that one effect... Your point about the date thing certainly isn't lost on me. Holy **** holy **** holy **** I can't...

If you're a beginner, between XB and Motion, you'll definitely find XB easier to get into - not saying you can't start with Motion though, but it will be challenging.

Holy ****. The rest of the stuff sounded meh to me (not my style), but wow, this effect you've mentioned, that is totally me... Considering getting the book for that effect now haha... Wow. Man, you know when you see something, you just KNOW it's totally your type of effect. Wow... I'm blown...

Of course it isn't. But the topic is: Why books? Not Books vs. DVDs or Either Books or DVDs? Or Which One is Better? So really, this topic isn't about championing one at all. But I like the quote by Mike Close, thanks for bringing it up.

The colours looked a bit weird man, the blue and the back... Don't mind the design though. Almost reminds me of fan backs.

I think, at least at the moment, it's simply that these finer points, simply only exist in books. They are points which had been learned after decades of study by the masters - masters who remain unmatched, and simply have not released material in DVDs (or are unable to do so because many are no...
