    Flying Wombat by Kainoa Harbottle (Impromptu Raven Effect)

    Yeah, Flying Wombat is quite clever... You can trust Amane on what he says on coins though :)

    Shape Shifter Battle Open

    For Nick, the same comment that I made to Cringe apply to you: The problem with doing Shapeshifter as a back change is that, because the pips don't change, the visual discrepancy during is quite obvious. And for this video in particular, your SS covered too much... And don't worry Cringe, he...

    Voting has opened for color change battle!

    ...And I did that. Did you? Whilst I agree in principle, you're criticising us for the same thing you failed to do. And yeah I do agree winterline. Velcrowe is right though, some more constructive criticism would be good...

    Voting has opened for color change battle!

    As I've explained in other threads, it's not always possible to film live battles. I for one would find it impossible to do so; not to say that I don't perform for people live, I do, as the magicians who know me will attest to. Nonetheless, my only camera is a stationary webcam, and my room is...

    My Apologies

    That's quite a collection... I second what Damian has said man, from my admittedly lacking knowledge of the magical community, you are a brilliant guy and to keep your site running as well as continuing to give to the magic community here is selfless... The knowledge and presence as well as...

    To be a magician, do you need to be someone else?

    General consensus is to be yourself. In certain circumstances, there are those who have made completely different personalities, for example the late Jack Parker. Nonetheless it is advisable, except in the case of extremely experience magicians, actors, circus members, etc. (such as actors who...

    Books vs DVDs

    Nah it's not a big deal - it's irritating though when someone asks why they can't get so and so reaction like x magician. I agreed with Brad here, regardless of personal preference, which is essentially personal preference, the use of the term "visual learner" should be considered. Of course...

    Any good magic websites?

    If the bbq is very soon it's probably fair to say that you shouldn't really be considering performing this if you're only going to have a short amount of time... Just general consensus..

    Cascade Control?

    By not asking how to become a moderator... Anyway, nice post Jordan. One particular point I liked, which, applied to magic as a greater whole, sums up a lot - things which are technically easy can still be intermediate or advanced because of any number of factors; the actual mechanics of a...

    The Weekly Debate: Question #9...

    Quoted for truth... Sigh, I'm slightly ashamed of this topic -.-

    Any good magic websites?

    Why don't you just wait for people to respond, instead of hijacking every single one you can find? Posting the same thing lots of times doesn't magically make people reply to you.

    Books vs DVDs

    That's terrible, re: Transference! Sounds similar to what I've heard about his Neo Change DVD too... >.> I'd agree with you on one trick DVD's though. Concepts, principles, moves and effects can be worthwhile despite being the only thing on the DVD - consider The Berglas Effect (is that what...

    Books vs DVDs

    Yeah I agree... They all have their good points. Learning from books is great in that it lets you discover the move for yourself rather than copying it. I don't buy the visual learner excuse, but I would agree that it's much easier to teach poorly or to miss a detail with a book. And page turns...

    Some more questions...

    It's VERY knacky. Unless you're doing something wrong in terms of handling, there's really not much else to do except practice if you really want it down, it's just one of those moves... What are you having a problem with - understanding the text, a specific part of the move, a specific...
