Fantastic! Break a leg and have fun!

Lots of good stuff. Now your challenge is to create a few sets (I would suggest around 3 effects each depending on your presentation) that fit together well. Once you have a set planned out, think about transitions between effects. Then try the sets out on people. Once you do the set often...

Sure. .

Much agreed. The same should be said about any magic forum. And you need to be somewhat respectful and professional there. Then you won't get banned. Some people have a lot of trouble understanding what that means. And of course some people get away with murder over there. But there is still...

Teller's: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SoksoGBtpJ0 I can't find a video of Penn's house, but it is even more impressive.

I enjoy doing Interlace myself. And out of curiosity, why are people judging the op for asking a question like this? And why wouldn't he google tricks that he hasn't heard of before - aren't people are saying that they are the best effects? Finding out about effects outside of your scope...

Barry and Stewart (sp?) may also strive for something similar

Out of curiosity, what authority can you make that claim? That statement seems to claim that you do know a truth that 'truth' is not known. Hmm...

Isn't this faulty reasoning? Couldn't a person say the same for any people group and it would be true? "Man, those atheists, how can they say they believe the truth when there are so many atheists who are responsible for so much bloodshed throughout history. If that's what atheists teach, I...

Out of curiosity, is there a modern day performer who does this that you would recommend, or is this an ideal that you personally hope to reach?

Sorry I didn't mean to say that you were being prideful, I meant that to convey that just because an effect doesn't have a context, doesn't mean that it can't be entertaining or worth watching. Sorry, reading it again, I didn't say it well at all. jm

ha ha same. Some pretty hateful ones! I delete most of them. heh

Is every trick that you perform like this? If so, I would love to see your show! I think what makes someone like David Copperfield so great is that he pretty much added context to his magic, and was one of the first (at least first notable person) to really add current, relevant context to his...

No we don't. Just like all non-Christians don't agree with Stalin, and it would be silly to lump everyone together based on one person's opinion.

Fair enough. Thanks. jm

Sean , I understand that you were not directing that statement at me. And I meant the tone of this thread is riddled with unhelpful comments. The reason I found the pastor comment insulting is because I am a pastor and you spoke poorly of pastors in general terms. Just because it wasn`t directed...

Does being straightforward mean that it makes your statements true, or not insulting? I don't change, manipulate, or remove the context from verses to make my points in a sermon. Your statement says I do. My point is that little sharp comments passive aggressively dropped in (and not just you)...

One trick I always enjoyed when I was doing restaurant magic, was Bannon's Twisted Sisters.

Hey great job Dylan! One might be deceiving themselves if they think that spectators don't look for methods, including the astonished ones. In fact I would submit that when a spectator looks for a method and doesn't find one, that is a good thing, perhaps even magical.

It's thing like this... ...that are the reason that this... ...can't happen here. There have been far more productive thread on this topic that have been closed for far less insults than this. A search on the topic should result in more fruitful reading than these last 4 pages.
