I have a couple. One from magic, the other from hypnosis. I did an ACR, just one, to a friend. I put the card in the middle of the deck, riffled the deck and showed her the card. She said, completely and utterly unimpressed: "Well, that's no trick. When you did that thing you did with the...

...sorry. I deleted this post. I didn't read the thread carefully enough. Move along. Nothing to see here...

Exactly. For example, you've never ever heard a band, after playing a song in a concert say "Thank you! We've practiced all month to make it sound right and it took us two months to write it!!!" It's a basic performance rule: make it look easy and natural. And that works with any...

I got the download last night and watch the entire thing. Great effects. The Sleeping Queens' secret is so simple. And yes, it delievers. You can apply this technique to a bunch of different ideas. I'm going to try this on my friends after the weekend, just as a test and I'll let you guys...

Well, I think almost any trick can be "morphed" into whatever you want depending on how you decide to patter. For example, FOO:L's idea was brilliant. It has nothing to do with religion, it's stated that the performer can control his blood and bodily functions. That's it. Quite a wonderful...

Don't worry, you didn't come off like that. It's just sad that a couple of people on this forum gave you the impression to be quiet simply because you're new to the craft. We should be welcoming new people. Not quieting them down.

...and that's a true disservice to you. :( That shouldn't be. We are all in the same craft and even though some of us don't agree or even don't like someone else on this forum, it shouldn't scare a new magician off from asking questions. Remember this, the1spaz, whether someone has been...

So...doesn't he have too much time on his hands if he keeps re-registering under different user names and proxies? Geez, talk about the pot calling the kettle black......

...how can you disagree with what he wrote when you didn't bother even reading all of it?????

VWind, take out the deck. Look at the top left corner and you will see a dot along the left side of the border. If it's one dot, look at the bottom right corner at the same dot. One of those two dots in either position will have a smaller dot next to it.

Agreed. Great essay, Steerpike.

That's a great find!! Even knowing what I was looking for it still took me a bit. Now that I see it, it's unmistakable! Thanks! :)

..are we still on this? Geez. Look, if you don't like Criss, fine. I'm not a fan either. It just that I between Jim and Criss, I find Jim far less trustworthy with far less integrity and far less talented than Criss is. Anyone who claims that they really and truly have some kind of...

I haven't kept track. I think I'm finishing a second deck. (I have a bunch of old, orphaned cards that I've mixed together just for the purpose of practicing tearing them.) I haven't performed "Believe" yet because I just need more practice. I keep messing up the corner. (That's all I'll...

I've said this before in the thread. If you can misdirect, tell a story and keep an audience entralled without words, then great. And yes, Teller can do this well. But then again, Penn and talk and misdirect just as well as Teller and yet, he doesn't waste a word. It depends on your...

Hear, hear.

I know I was saying I was dropping out too, but I'm sorry, it seems like this is a competition rather than a debate. And please, everyone forgive my tone. Usually I am a pretty easy-going guy, but I draw the line at people who pretend to have supernatural powers. First off, Dude, you...

Fatal Ace, I see your point. But it's not the "This product was bad because of that", it's the attitude behind it. I get the impression that there are a few people who feel that they are better than all the rest of us. For example, when the announcement was made that the price was coming...

I have to agree with you guys. The egos and hypocracy on the forums just amaze me. I don't mean to bash, I really don't but there's no "nice" way to put it. I'm kind of in a unique position here. I am both an "old hat" and a noobie. Because even though I've been doing stage hypnosis...

Wow. I'm off line for a couple of days and I missed it all. I didn't read all of the thread but I get the gist of it. I'm throwing in my two pennies. First off, I think Joel is a great teacher and his Believe is ...well.. unbelievable. So I saw the preview to the latest 1 on 1 and guess...
