I never said "If I curse, and you get offended, then that's your problem, not mine." You didn't read my post. You found what offeneded you most and picked at it. You just proved my point. You chose to be offended. And as the offendie, I will accept my responsiblity of it. However, what...

other than the color of the card backs, there's no difference. :-)

Okay, I was really trying to avoid this thread, but I can't help it anymore, I must rant. Here is my 2 cents, for what it's worth. And I apologize for the long rant. Right off the top, I am a 44 year old man with an 11 year old son. Yes, he uses profanity and has been as young as eight...

I do it the "Mentalism" way too, but with a little twist: I tell them that I can read their body language before they come up with a thought. (Short version): I ask them three questions: "Picture yourself at a mall, which store are you in?" sort of questions. Irrelavent but sounding...

Exactly! When the audience knows that you are open about the fact you know the paranormal does not exist, they are truely amazed (even though you get the "you have GOT to be psychic!" line). I love to get people to question their beliefs, to challenge themselves. It leaves a...

....sorry, squeeky clean people scare me..... ...no real human is completely squeeky clean..... :-)

My humble opinion: Neither thread should be deleted. Both are important to the topic of magic and I see your point as well, jonraiker: Sometime you do a trick to do a trick ("A cigar is sometimes just a cigar" :-) ). However, I do want to make a point. Magic IS an art. No...

We definately need a catagory for Mentalism!!!! I'll vote for it twice!!! :-)

STANDING OVATION TO YOU SIR! You have said what I was thinking so beautifully. When I saw the Christian post, I stayed far away from it, because since I don't believe in that, there was no reason for me to post anything there. I had nothing to contribute, nothing to offer them, so I said...

Why? What was wrong with Penguin Magic? (Sorry, sort-of newbie here...)

OMG, Sean. That is beautiful. If you don't mind, I'm going to use that for Halloween!!!! :-) I too, have the Red Backed Gaff Deck from E and I bought the DVD with it. And if you plan on buying their gaff deck, I STRONGLY recommend you get both the deck and the DVD. Doesn't matter what...

As you may know, I do stage hypnosis, I'm getting more into magic to try to mix the two. (Inspired by watch Derren Brown, I must admit). As I've been studying on Mentalism more and more, it seems to me that there are quite a few different kinds of Mentalism styles that are out now: There's...

Derren Brown = Trick or Treat = Mind Control = Tricks of the Mind = Devil's Picturebook = Pure Effect = Absolute Magic.... There's more but it's late... :-)

As a stage hypnotist, I can recommend a great book, and give you some pointers. The New Encyclopedia of Stage Hypnotism by Ormond McGill A very good book for beginner stage hypnotists. And remember that hypnotism is all concentration, trust and desire. Not on your part, but on the...

Okay, Will T11 or some such magic website PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE make a DVD teaching all of the card forces? Some of these I've never heard of. And I believe you can't know too many forces! :-)

Okay, I didn't read the forum though, but I LOVE the topic. I picked up a cube of Post-It notes. 1. Use it with a swamii gimmick 2. Write one card on each page of the cube and use it as a prediction routine... 3. DL the top two sheets to reveal the third sheet below it....

Devil's Picturebook Absolute Magic Trilogy Panic Ultra Gaff a Mind-Power Deck. and the ability to create my own tricks.... :-)

I'm going to love the 1 on 1's. I'm still trying to get the 4 for 4 move down, but it'll come. Can't wait to see some new card passes.

I hate to sound dumb and a total noob but I'm not getting this move at all.... :-(

Wooo hooo! I read a 20 page thread at 2am and downloaded both tricks succesfully!!! Great tricks. Good tips. Well worth the $5. each. Thanks you guys.
