I'll tell you this much. The gimmicks to do Pent and Pent-Ultimate combined cost me about 5 bucks.

Bull****. Criticism is how progress is motivated. The reason I spend so little time here compared to other forums is because of this attitude I see so prevalent in this review that seems to dictate that any reaction to a dissenting voice has to be handled with more defensive hostility than...

I have a variety of stuff I'm dying to try out. For example, the Color Changing Knives takes a dark turn when the black knife is beaten and scratched up and the blade is rusted and blood-stained. I also picked up this bad-ass claw ring at the RenFest and am already working on a routine...

I have a couple of Halloween parties I'm working on booking and I'm going to be working at Phantom Fright Nights at Kennywood Park.

If you can't effectively ditch and load gimmicks, the fault is your own and not the gimmick's.

That was actually the case with my dad. He responded, "How'd you pull that off, with a ouija board?" In general, I find yo momma jokes to be stiflingly unfunny and a last resort of the witless, much like gay jokes.

If I have to respond, I usually just say something to shift things away from me and onto him. He wants the spotlight that bad, he can have it for a few minutes. "You know, dude... I thought you were cool already. You don't need to try this hard to get my attention." "It's something to...

Are you actually suggesting that every single person on earth will look up exposure videos and ruin every single trick in existence?

Katana A card is selected from the deck, the remainder of which is replaced in the box. The spectator signs the card on the front and the card is also placed in a random point in the box. Everyone sees the card go in before the box is closed. With a powerful karate chop, the magician...

Premiere Pro all the way. I'm currently in pre-production for my first performance DVD, and the whole thing will be edited on Premiere Pro and Final Cut Pro. Word of caution: resist the temptation to use any special effects. Seriously. Color correction is fine, encouraged even. But for...

Very well. As a parting message, I state again that YouTube is not going to care how many signatures you collect. If you stumble across an exposure video every now and again, you can have it flagged. But Hollywood and the RIAA have something we don't that gives them more clout to swing aroung...

Oh Christ! I didn't think you were dumb enough to pull a strawman argument on me. Listen to me as hard as you possibly can, because this is the last time I'm going to say it. Petitions to YouTube have repeatedly failed in the past. You are not the one to make the difference. It failed...

That is the worst idea I've ever heard. Neither of which is going to happen. How many of them do? You're operating under this paranoid dellusion that 99% of the population is at your throat, just waiting for a chance to debunk and publicly humiliate you. There's a difference between...

Steve is also a working professional putting himself out there more often than a lot of us, so when he says stuff like this it tends to give his words a certain credibility, doesn't it?

Re-read my post, and read all of it. Because it seems to me that you didn't read past that first sentence. Jesus cross-dressing Christ on a bike... Fine. If you guys are this intent on wasting your time making videos, try this suggestion...

If flagged, they're taken down. That's the best you're going to get. And I'm waiting to see what your reaction is to my last couple posts before I decide whether or not you're intent on only listening to those who implicitly agree with you.

Here's the thing. The videos themselves are not copyright infringement because the creator of the video is drawing no monetary profit from them. However, YouTube attempts to enforce a policy of no copyrighted content because they derive money from ad space sold on the site, and thus could be...

Now you're just being a brat. If you can't handle people disagreeing with you, then why are you on the internet in the first place? Okay, so I tell you guys that this plan has failed in the past, and does not work and I get made out to be a villain. This guy posts this... and you're cool...

I was speaking rhetorically. Let me put it this way. I saw exposure and worked harder than before to improve my skills and presentation to the point where I could fool people who already knew the method. That is a couple hundred steps taken to achieve a goal I should have had in the...

The time and energy you spend collecting those signatures could have been spent becoming a better magician.
