    Where can I learn Wayne Houchin's "Thread"?

    Nobody has answered the question in Spanish yet. So, I will: "Thread" no está disponible todavía. Puede ser que sea enseñado en un libro algún día. Thread isn't available yet. It might be released in a book someday.

    Smoke - Derren Brown

    I don't know where you saw $60. The only legal place to get the videos is from Derren's site. He's charging 40 pounds ($78.93) for 2 DVD's and 25 pounds ($49.33) for VHS.

    No it does not come with the deck, but the deck is SO good for many other tricks.

    April 08 :: XCM / Cardistry?

    Cardistry/xcm doesn't involve anyone in the action. Whereas a piece of art such as a painting, song, poem, etc. does because people can derive their own meanings and feelings from it. What can anyone take from someone playing around with a deck of cards? I have watched others perform...

    Approaching People?

    I don't like to say I'm going to do magic or that I'm a magician because then I'm not one step ahead anymore. It's much better to do magic when they're not expecting it. I usually don't say anything. I just start floating a dollar bill somewhere by myself. People always end up crowding around...

    April 08 :: XCM / Cardistry?

    If you're implying that magic doesn't require learned skills then you are dead wrong. I appreciate your perspective and skill, so please don't attack mine.

    Celebracadabra

    The only thing that bothers me about Celebracadabra is that ellusionist purchased domagicfast.com and icanlearnmagic.com to advertise. They could've just linked to their site. Do they think ellusionist isn't memorable enough? Will I watch Celebracadabra? Yes. Why? There is a huge lack of any...

    April 08 :: XCM / Cardistry?

    I guess I should've elaborated more in my last post. Poorly done magic is just a skill someone uses to show off. Cardistry/xcm, no matter how well done, is also only used to show off skill. I just haven't seen any presentation yet to convince me otherwise. The 'art' aspect of videos I have seen...

    April 08 :: XCM / Cardistry?

    While I agree that a small amount of cardistry/xcm looks amazing, most of it doesn't impress me. How could a laymen appreciate the skill (which I believe is what cardists are trying to put forth) of cardistry/xcm, if they've never and never will try to do it themselves? In my opinion...

    My "Change" performance

    I'm a little 'out of the loop' on this one. Is "Change" available to purchase anywhere, or is there still some sort of legal issue? P.S. Great looking video. It looked just as good as the videos I've seen of Daniel doing it.

    Yeah, it does take a certain finesse and looseness, but I've never had any problems with mine.
