    Anyone else totally floored when they bought S.W.E Shift?

    Or yours... If your S.W.E Shift didn't inspire me so much, I'd probably have quit magic after seeing it... -.-' It'd be good to see some videos of it in performance situations, for the people saying it's now easy... And yeah James, I totally agree with you about the creation of sleights like...

    Battle Section losing viewers?

    That's exactly the problem, the lack of creativity. The odd occasion when people try to be creative, more often than not someone else will drag it towards being boring again. No-one wants to see another badly performed Erdnase Change (only 1 I've seen has been decent, the rest shocking), or...

    Where to Buy Some New Fans

    Honestly, "keep practicing", in most occasions, is very unhelpful advice. For pressure fans though, it really is the only thing people can offer unless you're doing something badly wrong with grip or technique - otherwise, it's just a "feel" for the fan, which you'll only gain from a lot of...

    Locked pshhh..!

    My only experience with E was terrible. The ability to generalise all suppor tickets, and completely ignore the problem characterised that series of messages... After four messages in a week, the support person answered with the solution I proposed in my very first email. Support should treat...

    Live Flourishing

    I certainly flourish in public - flourishing is a great way to attract attention from potential spectators and gets them coming to you instead of the other way around. Furthermore, the ones who do come and approach you, I find, are generally the accepting, friendly type of spectators who are...

    A huge problem...

    Pretty much, just stop. Squirrel's right on this one, if you don't want them to know, don't keep showing stuff that isn't perfected to them.

    Cold? What I am going to do?

    It will be hard to manipulate cards with gloves, good luck lol. Honestly, just keep warm, perform indoors maybe, not when it's too cold, or else just shorten outdoor performances to one or two tricks if possible. Keep your hands warm though, and take care of them.

    Open vote for: Pass Battle

    And the award for the most useless post goes to... I agree that Snoopy's pass gave him an unfair advantage. I voted for RD, although, from what I could see from both videos, they were both very solid, well done guys.

    What deck should I get next?

    Arrcos and Studs are thinner and more flexible than Bikes and custom decks, so if you haven't tried those, or Aladdins either, and you've been using Bike-esque decks all your life, go for those.

    Totally Out Of Control - Question

    Yep, they have the best footage in 8 hours. Keeping in mind the previous stuff about takes and so forth, they most likely would only use one shot from each angle of every take they did. If they did multiple takes of multiple angles, which is again an almost certainty in most cases, that would...

    Smoke/Mirrors Help

    Actually so far (I bought two bricks) only one has been off center. I heard it was a bigger problem for others though.

    Copying someone's routine or not?

    I don't think it's wrong to have a routine that's similar, as long as it's not the routine move for move; it should obviously incorporate you, and your own ideas, and it sounds like you've done that. As for a music, it'd only be an issue if it was broadcast, for example on TV, radio, etc. For a...

    Smoke and Mirrors Playing Cards - Reviewed

    Honestly, I prefer their looks over the feel. I feel like I will get shot here, but I wasn't very impressed with the Guardian artwork. Hated the colours especially. Centurions are nice, but without as good a feel imo; but the difference for me in the artwork is that these cards have a different...

    They're making second editions so don't worry too much they'll be here soon.

    Beginner Suggestions

    That's exactly the point. The idea is to see how committed they are and if they will persevere in their magic learning. They don't want to read a book and get frustrated? They will if they actually want to learn magic. If they want to learn, they'll read it and study it until they do. Especially...

    Beginner Suggestions

    Give them Royal Road to Card Magic, tell them to learn a chapter or two in a month, and get them to come back to you in a month. if they've actually mastered stuff and are still going after a month, they're probably committed enough.
