At last year's talent hsow, I did a rope routine set to music follow by a silk act. For this year, I am doing cane and silk work in a themed act.

1. How do you feel cardistry should be practiced? In private as a hobby, o exhibited for spectators? 2. What are your thoughts on combining cardistry with magic?

That's another one of my pet peeves... when people say they do not understand text. Read the freaking thing, do not scan it!

Sean, I did not mean to be condescending at all. Sorry if I came off that way. I think a lot of new magicians need a reality newflash. Some of them think far beyond what they are capable of. I was once like that, but was brought back to earth in the same way. I only wish it had been sooner (It...

I wouldn't say "very far away from a noob" if I were you. For only three years in magic that is a huge huge claim. I'm sure you're not a noob but I'm willing to bet you're no Dai Vernon.

I actually agree, the list is very Ellusionisty, something hardcore punks do in the halls at school. Get a book like David Regal's Approaching Magic or The Magic of Michael Ammar.

Books are where the actual good stuff is. You have no idea what you're missing.

I sent him a message a while ago with words of encouragement. He didn't acknowledge them.

This kid is hilarious... it's hard to believe it's actually serious.

Dead on man.... I also got second place a few months ago, with an act of all cards... but it was a totally original performance, very fun and very creative. The act must FLOW. I cannot be just a compilation of random card effect performed adequately. It all must have a reason, a logical premise...

I've been heckled. It was harsh. Not nearly as harsh as Mr. Farquhar's experience but still harsh. As a side note, I met Shawn this week... what an incredibly nice, warm, and caring guy, something that makes his story all the more sad. Anyways, my heckling got out of hand two years ago. I...

Holy Geez!!!

Sound advice. It's funny how many people aren't acknowledging this thread.

Great review, but why make yet another Cinders thread?

The funky names should at least make sense in relationship to the effect! Deuce-Bag, the original "Witness" was a much better name because it made sense!

Some people don't seem to understand. It's not that the names are just "kewl", it's the fact that they do not make sense. A good name should at least reference the subject in some form, not make some obscure peek into the creator's thoughts. Like "Sinful"... nobody in their right mind would...

This is Dee's latest ebook, being released tonight. He graciously sent me an advanced copy and I must say, this is a brilliant and very creative Burnt and Restored Card effect. I'm just typing a few brief thoughts here for you before the release. Get this: A card is signed across the face...

Nah, they just raided each other's closets and are just milking the revelation of the winner for suspense.

I don't think effects like "Sinful" are Magic Castle Material.

I think you two going as each other. Andrei will dress like JB and JB will dress like Andrei.
