There were no problem with the thread or B_08´s attitude.
The problem were that almost no one understood him or choose to missunderstand him.
The thread was not about Criss Angel so there is no need to call him a fanboy. People made the thread about Criss Angel, not him. Its sad that no one...
No one is saying that you should emulate Criss Angel or anyone just because they are famous, that was not the point of the other two threads.
The point was that it is stupid and ignorant to ignore it just because we dont like it. The truth is that Criss Angel has gotten further then most...
It does not matter how much Twilight or Criss Angel suck.
The only thing that matters is that millions and millions of people likes Twilight so ignoring something that millions and millions of people love is plain stupid. Same thing with Criss Angel when he first got into the spotlight.
Oh...
I did not see anything wrong with the Criss Angel thread, infact i thought it was a good thread. A forum where everyone agrees would be pretty boring and pointless.
You will have to accept that some people have strong opinions and learn how to handle that.
Since when did the pass become and "easy to catch" technique? If you cant do it then yes, if you can do it then no.
Different contols for different tricks. Some controls will need a pass, some a overhand shuffle, some a double undercut etc.
Ok, so the thread "It's Our Fault Criss Angel Is Famous" sadly got closed. I would like to continue a similar discussion. Please keep in mind that this thread is NOT ABOUT CRISS ANGEL and wheater or not he is good or bad or whatever.
Can you honestly say that magic is getting the respect and...
Lol, saying Criss is not working hard is pretty funny. How do you know? Do you and Criss hang out a lot? And when you do do you just sit at home playing video games and drinking beer?
I think he works and have worked just as hard as everyone else who has got as far as he did. Criss is not...
Also, when we are talking about that they lay audience thinks about magic. Its quit obvious that the lay audience thinks that most magicians are quit cheesy and corny. Why dont we listen? Its not like its a secret.
I dont think that this is a question about wheter you like him or not. The first season of mindfreak felt quit fresh and exciting and i know that he did create quit a large buzz with the lay audience and a lot of people were talking about him and getting fascinated with magic and clips from...
Chad Nelson just released his thoughts on The Classic/Riffle pass on Dan and daves site as a on demand video. I got it and i think its great.
You can find it here : http://store.dananddave.com/riffle-pass-chad-nelson.html
What do you card guys and experienced "Passers" think about it?
I would also suggest that you spend more times on moves that has a wide range of utility.
May i just ask you, why are you learning the gravity half pass? Do you have much stuff your going to use it for?
I think it would be more wise to spend time on a classic type of pass which has a wide...
I think that Darwin Ortiz says in one of his books that you should spend most days working on what you have already masterd and then spend 1 day a week on new stuff your learning until its ready for your show.
Ofcourse this is not the ultimate pass video, but Chands Pass is still a damn good one. I remember when the surfaced dvd came out and he did the very same pass and everyone were talking about how amazing the pass was.
Now, remember that you might not be that impressed efter watching it...
The great thing about this is that it is more "tight" in the way the packets move so there is not as much to spot as on the original classic pass where the move is quit huge.
Chads did approach the sleight in the way he changed its designe just a little bit instead of using so much of hand...
Just got this and WOW!!!!! Best spent 5 bucks in a long time.
This pass, belive it or not is EASY! and when you have the grip it almost does itself, it just happends. I remeber how blown away everyone was from watching Chad do this pass on the clip shift dvd and now you can do it too.
