GRRR I want to see the new website!!! I have a gig bright and early and have to get to sleep!

Never said I wasn't :p I just think they are unnecessary. Magic isn't place for an exhibition of skills... in fact the more skills exhibited in a routine, the more suspicious your effects will look. Again, just my opinion.

You make a good point... I assume flourishes actually would be good for cutting through the motionless parts of the routine. I should have been more specific.... It's mostly out of place when the magician "gives the deck a cut" and proceeds to go into 20 seconds of fancy XCM cuts. Kind of...

1. Purchase as many different decks as I can (Steamboats, Aladdins, special Bikes, Tallys, Dr. Leons, Nuggets, etc.) 2. Perfect my Pass.

Think about it... the average flourish takes approximately 10 seconds to complete. A double undercut takes 2 seconds. Long flourishes create a large timelapse in the effect and ruins the timing. Many young magicians fail to remember the important things aside from the actual technique such as...

Of course... some magicians can effectively transition between effects using flourishes. And yes, I personally believe that brief, flashy things are fine but I just personally think large things like Pandora, Jackson 5, and Madonna are very out of place.

I've never personally seen Dan or Dave mix the two, they are both done seperately. I mean more XCM type stuff, not the basics like springs and fans. With a juggler, it's different, because you can't mix juggling with juggling. Flourishes are juggling and I feel they destroy an effects rhythm.

LOL nice one!

Hey, I'm even guilty to some extent, I just feel that using a flourish longer than 3 seconds is overkill and overproving. Some people can combine flourishy cuts and things into their work but doing an endless exhibition of 16-packet cuts is just not going to work. Sybil, Kev Ho's Corkscrew...

Do NOT mix flourishes to magic... magic place advertise and sell flourishing products and that can be misleading and send out mixed messages. Putting a 45 second flourish into your act not only destroys the rhythm of the effect but also makes you look like a jerk that is rubbing in their skills...

G-FORCE: THE ANTI GRAVITY EXPERIENCE BY STEVE FEARSON Effect: A fork is borrowed off the dinner table and the magician proposes to alter gravity, and reality, for a moment. He asks a willing spectator to stick out the index fingers of both hands, and the fork is balanced on top of them. He...

Will the website be released at Midnight tonight?

I just might bid on these... still thinking about it.

Nothing I should say publicly.

A sealed deck of Nuggets for $4.00???? Something doesn't add up there.

Amen to that! Magic and flourishing do NOT mix.

Plus, I'm getting a few dekcs of Nuggets too, so can't complain :D.

They're gold, what would you expect? Air-flow cushion finish?

These are so much better than Nuggets... they'll last a lifetime, even when being used.
