    Beginner: Crash Course/Born to Perform

    I've seen a performance of an effect from CC1... it was taken directly from RRTCM, if anybody cares. That PLUS the Vernon effect. Was any of it credited? I doubt it. Oh well. Well, feel free to PM me with proof of Penguin's bad ethics. And Medifro- I'm pretty sure most of the Sankey...

    I understand that, that's why I was giving you constructive criticism. :rolleyes:

    A Dangerous Question (Not supposed to a funny title)

    Yes, but how do we know those are real spectators? For all we know they're Daniel's family and just scream like that to make him feel good. :rolleyes: Nah, I'm sure Daniel's a great magician... I just haven't seen any proof of that yet.

    A Dangerous Question (Not supposed to a funny title)

    I'm one person who won't buy Change for a long, long time. And if that means it goes out of print or whatever, that's fine, I guess I won't ever own it. I don't care about the method, honestly. I think Daniel's a great flourisher and magician for the camera, but that means nothing. I want to...

    My Routine

    Note: your routine was very good, but by posting it, saying how awesome it is and how it won in a competition, I'm going to pick it apart. Sorry, it's just how I am. These are some things I noticed. 1. It's great that you want to be heard, but there's no reason to yell... it gets annoying...

    Beginner: Crash Course/Born to Perform

    How is this different from BTP? Oz is a great teacher, goes over everything very well, and includes performances of each effect and sleight. I guess I don't get how you can use those examples against BTP. And I'll just ignore the jab at Penguin's ethics, as from what I've seen, they're much...

    What is a purist?

    It's all good. We both made a mistake. :p

    Cardistry Routine

    It wasn't bad, but the armspreads and springs you did at least twice in a row. That kinda made me lose my attention to the video. You need "pull factors" instead of "push factors". Repeat moves just make me want to click out. But overall, it was pretty good, and I did enjoy it. Work on the...

    Beginner: Crash Course/Born to Perform

    Born to Perform goes over everything you need to know to get into card magic, for much, much cheaper. If you want an ACR DVD, stick with Daryl. E DVDs are way too overhyped and underdelivered. But yes, like previously mentioned, if you're a true beginner in card magic, get Royal Road to Card...

    What is a purist?

    And I clearly stated it was then directed towards anyone with that mindset, and apologized for directing it at you.

    Cell by David Stone Replacement Gimmick

    Wow... that was a real subtle bump. ;)

    Distortion

    Moving Pips was done waaay before Wayne did it. Houchin was definitely not the first one to do it.

    Erdnase Color Change

    I hate to say it, because I know you're on a "high" after reading the previous comments, and feel really good, but it wasn't anything special. It was very good, but I've definitely seen better. Sorry.

    Trick Improvisations

    Yes, I try to stay close to the original effect, as well, but I adjust it t suit me. If it already suits me, then obviously I just mess with the presentation a bit.

    Uhh, that's great and all, but this is the topic for Cerca Trova ideas. :rolleyes:

    Trick Improvisations

    With most tricks I perform, I add or change little things to make it my own... whether it be in the technical aspect or the presentational aspect; I just make it my own. I won't list everything, as it would take too long, but pretty much every effect I do is suited to me, even if it's the...

    What is a purist?

    Then my post was directed towards anyone who did agree with that state of mind. :p Sorry medifro.

    How old to perform?

    Ever since my 14th birthday I've been sort of preparing to pro. I really want to start now, but I'm waiting until I'm AT LEAST 16. It'd be awfully embarrassing having my Mom drive me to my first professional gig. :rolleyes: And no, I didn't start at 14... I started when I was 10.

    New in XCM. What cards to use?

    It's spelled "Faros", just for future reference.

    CoinOne and CoinTwo

    I know Zachmonky got his at a convention earlier this week, and his was 500-something. So if you really want it, you better hurry! Although I'm sure the buying has slowed down quite a bit now.
