    Enough With Card Flourishes?

    Very true. You can't hear text. However, ask any writer and they will tell you the supreme importance of word choice in determining the tone of a statement. Has any of this hindered you in any way? It's really not a big deal. Personally, I practice XCM as it helps me develop my...

    Fallen Review

    Apples and oranges. You claim to have figured out Fallen, and thus you don't need to actually see the teaching material to pass judgment on it.

    Fallen Review

    You said it wasn't worth the price. I say until you actually buy it and know what went into producing that product, you're just blowing smoke. Opinions are only as good as what you back them up with.

    Enough With Card Flourishes?

    And people say I'm arrogant. Clearly dude, there is nothing more to be said in this little tit-for-tat. I wash my hands of the whole affair. First of all, stop saying that. No one wants to hear it. Second, I'm not going to read a single one of your posts from here on out until you start...

    Enough With Card Flourishes?

    How would that equate to XCM being the future of magic, especially considering that the most dedicated practitioners of it don't even consider it to be magic in any way, shape, or form? I'm not understanding the leap of logic. You're saying no magician has gotten to the top without XCM...

    Magic/Miracle: Crossing the line...

    So you'd be cool with performing a seance and telling people that you actually did contact the dead?

    Enough With Card Flourishes?

    What an adorable attempt at an argument. I think the issue here is that a lot of magicians are boring showmen in general, but manage to temporarily mask that behind a lot of fancy manipulation. They give themselves a touch of the exotic, and can briefly fool people into thinking they're...

    Enough With Card Flourishes?

    I say build a better mousetrap. De'Vo vom Schattenreich performed regularly for the US embassy in Belgium at one point doing nothing but XCM. Apparently, they liked it. Do you think anybody ever got taken seriously by typing in call caps with gratuitously excessive punctuation? And...

    Fallen Review

    I love it when people who don't know anything about video production tell everybody else what the value of something is. Adorable.

    Figured out Fallen...

    First of all, don't go telling everybody what you figured out. Nobody cares. Second, if you had even a shred of respect for Danny, you would buy the effect anyway. Third, reverse engineering is strongly frowned upon. No one can fault you for hearing of a concept and coming up with your own...

    Do you like Books?

    I actually never said which one I prefer. I've been making the arguments in favor of DVDs because somebody had to. If I'm reading this right, you're actually trying to suggest to me that they were great because they never watched TV. Do you know what most of those magicians also had...

    Do you like Books?

    For reasons I'm not smart or insane enough to figure out, I have actually had magicians regard me as a lesser because I buy DVDs. I can't concieve of anything other than a brain-damaging fever in infancy that would result in such a stupid idea. I really can't convieve of why anybody wouldn't...
