I've spun ever day since it started and only had two no rewards so far. Everything else is between 25-100 Elite points. It's a really awesome way that everyone can get a little something, even of we don't win the bigger prizes. That's pretty awesome.

Great responses. I say just own it. Even if it's just friends trying to rib you a little, the best response is to have confidence in who you are and roll with it a bit. They can't tease you if you agree with them. Them: "when are you going to grow out of it?" You: "I know right? I'm like Peter...

I think Haunted deck looks better with loops because of the elasticity. It looks a bit less connected to your hand because you have slightly more range of movement that causes the deck to move, which I think makes it more deceptive. But Eugene Burger did a really nice and simple version with...

Oh man, so sorry to hear that. That must be really difficult. I hope your recovery process goes well.

Totally. And those guys have all done their homework and study. The problem I find the hardest is that there is SO MUCH out there to learn! It may sound odd, but sometimes I read books and never actually try to do any of the magic in it, but just to see what others have come up with. I find it...

Welcome! One probably underused tool is video. Prop your cell phone up or use a webcam, but record your trick. Then watch it back from a real critical standpoint - as if you were watching someone else. Look for suspicious movements, awkward pauses, flashes (where a spectator might see something...
