    Totally Out Of Control - Question

    I'm an actor by profession. I shot a film for 4 months, over several countries, and all for a 120 minute film. Each day we spent anywhere between 10-12 hours on set. There's a lot more detail that goes into making these sorts of things that most people ever realise or see.

    Good Decks Cheap?

    Can you show us a picture? You may be talking about the Bicycle Vintage Cupid backs? EDIT: Yes, Bicycle Vintage Cupid Backs. The third ones, Vintage Fan Backs, handle well - there's an entire series of these Vintage backs.

    Art Picture

    Nice, very S&M trailer like.. It might look better on maybe just clear or frosted glass, or maybe even a dark marble, but nice shot.

    Am I the only one...?

    LOL. I'm sure there are dude. There are probably more than you think. About two weeks ago the number of magicians I knew from Sydney alone went up by about 10.

    If I buy...

    "I like Believe - it's a lot of fun but you need to practice. You will probably use 3 or 4 decks just to get it down. However, Control is really col and people really freak out - and it's also impromptu. I haven't gotten my Guardians or my Centurions yet so I can't tell you anything about those...

    Best Pass

    Too many people do the riffle pass because the riffle covers an inadequate pass. They can almost do the classic well enough - so just in case, they perform the riffle, which is obviously a flawed way of thinking. I think that in order to perform the riffle pass correctly, one must first have an...

    What are...

    Yeah, you're right kendonaga. As far as just 54 pieces of paper go, it's not worth it. Nonetheless it may well be worth it/hold value for a few reasons... For collectors for collections... Some people simply like being able to say that they own/have owned/felt/used one... Because they are rare...

    Your Longest Flourish

    One that took me longest was Mantis, since it was my first flourish and I had absolutely no experience.

    Impromptu Miracles

    Bizarre Twist isn't really impromptu either.

    A few questions...

    Don't take d+m's patter then. Use your own, but no matter what you say, more important is how you say it - injecting you into the performance, as well as mystery, tension, etc. Otherwise, some routines just won't fit you as they are. Some might never fit you despite multiple facelifts. If you...

    Totally Out Of Control - Question

    Of course. What sounds more impressive, and what is more reflective of the effort that they did in fact put in to create this DVD? "We were so brilliant we managed to shoot everything in 8 hours, and everything was brilliant and included!" "We painstakingly went over everything in 50 hours of...

    What are...

    That's a rather irresponsible use of the fanboy label imo, but you're right in the first half. They won't make people better flourishers or magicians; but there are many situations where judgmental preconceptions are not applicable.

    Definition of an Amateur?

    Oh, sure, but I'm not implying any such thing, that you're responsible, merely stating my observations about magicians in general. And they seem to agree with yours.

    I only just saw that... So the arguments can be meaningful, but not too meaningful?
