I respect everyone's opinion, and maybe as I go deeper into Mentalism, I will thank you all for the advice. Maybe I was just looking for something like Modern Coin Magic or Royal Road where it teaches a basic move and then some basic insights of application. Maybe Mentalism isn't my cup of tea...

5Speed, I guess if that is the kind of reaction that you are going for, then you should be alright. I usually let people think what they want of what I do. Though if he turns out to be some kind of a Puritan and shuns you from his life, just roll with it. I am sure that he will get...

Alright, so I am thinking about becoming a member of SAM and I was wondering if it is worth it. I mean, does the magazine really live up to its name??? And what about Magic and Genii magazines, if I were to get those, would it be worth the investment. I love reading things about magic, and it...

I can't begin to express how many great performance I have seen with out speech. Teller does Shadows and that has no talking what so ever. It blows me away at the artistic quality, one of the awe inspiring moments. Daniel Garcia manages to pull off another one of those moments in Life...

Maybe I can make this easier for you: I have Ninja, I have watched it about five times, trying to pick out the specifics about the pass. I still don't have it down. I am currently waiting to be in a spot where I can download England's 1-on-1 for the pass.

There is a private thread forum??? Wow... I wonder what other secrets T11 has hidden from me. Granted, I never got thread. I only have Pressure, Witness, Exile, Control, and the Trilogy from here, and I don't think any of those have private forums, do they? I think I might get thread just...

Oh, be he is reading Royal Road, and there is that simple key card trick involving two decks. It is a work of art, and even though they know the principle, people still don't pick up on it. So don't hesitate to use that one =P

Are you sure that you posted it??? Sometimes I go about writing a message, and due to a poor internet connection, or internet time out, I don't really post it. Sometimes I will click the post button and then just head off to my next website not really giving it time to load up.

Great choice on the book. As far as continuing your education with card magic I would advise reading these books: Expert Card Technique by Hugard and Braue (pretty much the sequel to Royal Road) Card College by Giobbi (a set of five books) Which those will continue to hone your skills...

It is simple, and thus doesn't really catch my eye. I don't understand why it is called a weapons deck even though it has what appears to be arrow heads on the back. I like the color scheme, though that has been used for sometime now. I hope this doesn't come across too harsh, I just thought...

You know, I have watched these threads for the past couple of weeks pop up that are all anti-Theory11 and their overall vision. I see JB getting ragged on constantly, and all of his responses are clear and logical, with no condescension what so ever. I would just like to say that it is because...

I have no clue how many times I read these to see what the difference was, but missed that paragraph... I am thinking that I am making this book way more complicated than it really is. I am trying to get every little detail down, but in the end, I could just figure out the why, and make it...

I learned from Fundamentals a bit, and I fully understand what Cassidy was trying to get across to me, the reader. I just feel that it could have been done in a ten page essay. Maybe the other reason that I found it so much of a let down is because it is for the bare bone beginner, and I am...

Alright, so I just finished reading the 89 pages of this ebook, and I am not that impressed. For how highly people recommend this book, I really didn't get that much out of it. Granted: the main theme of developing your character was one that I was glad he hit on, and repeatedly. But other...

So, I have begun my travels down to the fundamentals of Magic so I know that I am mastering the basics, and I have been really pleased so far. I have learned a lot in a small time, and most importantly, I have learned how I can switch things up a bit. But some things appear to be unclear...

Flipping through the White Knuckle deck, I like the over all theme, but it seems that went overboard on a couple of things. It just feels too cartoony. Maybe it is just my old ways and liking the classic court cards with a combination of fear that comes whenever someone pulls out a...

I haven't gotten too much into Cardisty, and when I got the Trilogy, I was overwhelmed. I later found out about De' Vo and I am still trudging along with that, but how beginner is Genesis???

What is everyone's opinion on MagicTrickStore.com ??? I have shopped there for awhile and I enjoy the great prices, the selection, and free shipping. I am kind of excited to check out this MJM... I never really heard of it until now.

I had the day to think of my last post, and I figured that I would add some more to what I said. Not every performance has to tell a story. As a magician our goal is to move the person we are performing. To have them shift to an emotion that we are trying to convey. I still remember seeing...

I wouldn't necessarily say that only the newer generation of magicians fall into this trap, but in the learning process, every magician does. It is because they are in the beginning stages and as they learn more, they begin to master more and more of how to show it. We hang around so many...
