    Split Spades Lions Quick Review

    Agree with what's above, but it might help if you take a look at the new Jokers. On each place where a bell should be hanging from the jester, there is the face of each of the faces on the face cards. That was a lot of "face" words...

    Split Spades Lions Quick Review

    So, I'm not sure whether anyone else has noticed, but some of the Jacks and possibly kings are David Blaine. If you look at the faces carefully, you can see. Can anyone identify the other face cards? They definitely look like they are modeled after someone, I just can't figure out who. Thanks. SG

    Unnamed card control

    Despite the bad angles and lighting and everything else, this card control was actually not that good. It reminds me of just holding a break and then doing a sybil or something, but just a little less smooth. As it was stated earlier, a card control method should be invisible or at least...

    What is the next thing I must buy?

    I don't know your skill level, but the trilogy is one of the most helpful and incredible compilations of magic and flourishing that there is. I feel kind of weird advertising it for Dan and Dave, but it really is a masterpiece. I'd also pay the ten bucks for some Loops because those are...

    Books and E-Books help ... =/

    Everything that needs to be said has been said, but I thought this was particularly funny. I'd advise getting on your ass and reading.

    New Tally Ho Design!

    If you felt that you time was wasted, I doubt that you would have taken the time to post on this "pointless" thread. On a different note, how much for a brick?

    Blind Shuffling (False Shuffling)

    Many thanks, but at the same time, the strip feels more difficult when I'm gripping loosely. I guess this begs another question: which direction should I strip the packets? One back and one forward, straight away from each other and then forward, or some other way? I guess I'll play with it a...

    Blind Shuffling (False Shuffling)

    When doing a complete deck false shuffle, I've got a problem/question. After riffle shuffling, and after the "sqaure up", when I'm stripping the packet out to be cut back onto the top, there is a very large amount of resistance, i.e. the packet pulls out cards from the other packet, or, more...

    Anger Problems...

    Yes I had this problem when I was FIRST starting out, but there's nothing anyone on the forums can do. I've never been a big supporter of counting to ten, but I'm sure what you want to hear is that you need to practice. And by practice I don't mean drop the cards over and over again. Analyze...

    Urgent Presentation Help - Please!

    So here are my two cents; you shouldn't use anything or anyone other than yourself to get a girl, get a job, or, really, get anything. If you get it without being yourself, you're getting something that is most likely "above" you. You'll end up failing or leaning on other people to help you get...

    Slow Burn Differences...

    True, but with a little bit of creativity and problem solving, it's not too difficult to do. Also, the gimmick is not the ONLY thing that works with it. For example, I only have on gimmick, but I have paper to money, 1s to 100s, and paper to Euros.

    The Second Deal

    Thank you for that terribly mysterious, yet completely innocuous post. Does anyone who actually knows how to do the move care to offer some advice? Thank you in advance (in a non-sarcastic way).

    The Second Deal

    Agreed about the push-off. I guess my next question is how to do a "perfect", or even a decent, double push-off. My guess is it works with more used cards, I just opened a pack, but can you give any other suggestions? Thanks.

    The Second Deal

    Having finished the first hundred pages or so of the Erdnase bible, I have a question on the Seond Deal. I don't think that this is exposure because I'm only revealing my deduced way of second dealing. Erdnase teaches it one way, which I'm sure works great, but I'm just wondering if anyone else...

    Daniel Madison's Three?

    On the topic of Daniel's notes; I was looking into getting One or Two, but couldn't decide which one I liked more. I'm a card guy, magic mostly, I dabble in flourishing, but the amazement reaction is what I like best. Which, of those who own them, one of those would you suggest? Thanks. SG

    Prophet - Gimmick Construction Difficulty

    So, if I already have Extreme Burn, and "I'm lovin' it ©", is there any need to buy Prophet? This seems like a thread where I could get some opinions from both sides of the argument. SG

    En France!

    Well, I'm in France and was wondering if anyone knows of any good magic shops worth looking into! I'm on Rue Jacob off San Germaine (spelling?) and the closer the better. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance! SG

    How do you exhibit your cards?

    Mine are everywhere...mostly concentrated in my desk area. My "magic-buddy" and I have what we call a "2 step rule," that is, from any position within my room, you must be withing two small, comfortable steps of a deck of cards. They're everywhere: Desk, night table, dresser, bathroom...it's...

    To Wait, or not To Wait...

    Naturally, when I heard about Extreme Burn, I decided to check it out. It took all of my will power not to click purchase right then and there. So I've been following Prophet and checking out all of the reviews etc, but I still can't decide whether to wait for Prophet and then decide, or to go...

    Spectators' Questions

    What do you guys do when spectators ask "too many" questions. The thing that keeps happening when I perform is they ask a question too early that their eyes will answer in a second. Let's say they ask if their card is on top, and it is (with the help of a DL), but their asking sort of takes them...
