Totally different effects so any responses you get here are going to be pretty subjective. That said, in comparing apples to oranges, and as someone who doesn't own any of these three effects, I think Control looks like the best product. It's impromptu and it's already a classic, hardhitting...

3 NEW Loops DVDs are coming out, by the masters themelves, Finn Jon and Yigal Mesika. They're long too--each one is like 60 minutes. MJM Magic and a bunch of other magic shops have them up for pre-sale. Looks like they'll be on Penguin too. I, for one, am really looking forward to this. I use...

2 Cents... I get that it's a style, but it's really overdone. The point of a magic video, first and foremost (and almost solely), is to instruct. That's what people are paying for. The rest is icing on the cake. When style is interfering with instruction, even in the slightest, I think it's...

I ordered three decks a while ago and all three also had the click bend. Pretty annoying. I've been playing with one deck around the house for a few weeks and the bend has gone down a lot.

As long as the T11 forums here don't end up like the police state of E's forums I'm cool with 2 more Mods.

The Blackpool Conventon is, surprisingly, in Blackpool, England.

I use the pass more than any other control. Just because you and Daryl don't like it or use it doesn't mean others don't enjoy it or get a lot of use out of it. I agree with you that there are other good controls out there, but the Pass is definitely one of them. It took me about three weeks to...

If you want to learn a pass you can use in the real world check out Pass With Care (HERE). After watching/reading several DVDs and books it was this video that I finally learned a pass I could actually use in real performing situations. Happy Magic.

Apparently millions of people disagree with you.

Thanks for the reply. I don't think I've had a full deck of cards in my pocket in years. The first thing I do when I open a deck is throw out a few cards and add a dupe.

All he was talking about was how to take a pulse. It's a little groove between the base of your thumb and your wrist. That's where doctors and nurses take a pulse. Wayne was just showing you how so you can show your spectators so you can perform Control (because if your spec can't find your...

He taught Luke Jermay's pulse stop method? Are you sure? I guess that would explain the exit of Jermay from the show and his heat with Criss on the pulse stop issue. I didn't watch much of Mindfreak after season 1, but I do remember seeing the pulse stop episode and I don't remember him teachig...

E has its issues, but to address the topic of this thread--yes, Brad is an excellent teacher and a very good performer. If you're looking to start learning magic E's videos with Brad are one of the best places to start.

I don't really go looking for people to play spectators for me when I'm out. I put some magic in my pockets and head out for some fun. When the opportunities come up (and they usually do) I'm ready for them, but if they don't, I'm still having fun with my friends and meeting people. I'm more...

You guys are still screaming at the same wall? Who cares what people are doing on YouTube? And if you do, posting a thread here in the T11 isn't going to change anything. Go out and perform. It's a better use of your time.

Thanks for the replies, guys. I think I'll buy it elsewhere and save some money. Thanks again.

Hey there, Chris. Northbound is, I think, one of the most underrated effects out there. It's a staple in my repertoire and an effect I often use as a closer when I can. It's on of the strongest things I've ever come across. I'm always surprised it gets the reaction it does, but for some reason...

Very cool DVD box. I can't wait for this effect. I pretty much never buy something the day it's released, but Houchin has built up a lot of credibility with me with the effects he's released, and this is one effect I'm thrilled about.

I toyed around with Kaos for quite a while before I ever got around to performing it, but when I did, let me tell you, it made an impact. I've gotten nothing but good reactions out of it. Great effect, great method (impromptu), lots of room for presentation. If you're interested in Kaos I...

So if you buy the Trilogy now, with the advertised Bonus, will you get it as a download or something when it becomes available? Because I'm pretty sure I'm going to buy the Trilogy this week with some Christmas $$$, but I can get it cheaper elsewhere. I'll buy from here though if that Bonus is...
