    Unfair treatment in E's forum

    They were more sympathetic here, but they still gave you the same advice as everyone else. It's hard for me to believe you're sincere when you just copy and paste the same posts everywhere. Even some of your replies here are verbatim from other forums.

    Unfair treatment in E's forum

    Holy aneurysm, Batman! Andy, I think you need a blog. Please don't call it a magic blog. You've proven you're completely incapable of having a conversation about magic. You keep telling everyone to stay on topic, but the topic is "Unfair treatment in E's forum", and I don't think anyone...

    Wayne Houchin - Control

    I really hope Control is something new. The pulse stop technique has been around for a long time. It needs a rethinking and rekindling. Luke Jermay's method is the old as the hills method with a big heaping portion of suggestion.

    Help for an investigation of close up magic industry...

    I used to live down in Phoenix before I moved to Prescott. Metro Center had a magic shop at one time, but I don't know if it's still there. Mostly had the gag/prank crap.

    Gaffed Decks

    What's the best gaffed deck to get? Ellusionist has a lot of unique cards in their set. Anyone know of any better sets out there?

    Help for an investigation of close up magic industry...

    I live in Prescott, Arizona and there's no magic shops, no magic clubs and nowhere to perform magic. Matter of fact I only know of three other magicians in the area. And one of the three doesn't practice magic anymore. It's good for me because no one here has really seen any magic. People are...

    Distributing Magic On The 31st

    I'm dressing up as an exaggerated Criss Angel. I'll be doing magic for anyone who asks. I'll also be screaming "mindfreak" and whispering "are you ready?".

    Is it just me or is "Ghost Bills" not very good?

    It gets some of the best reactions I've ever gotten.

    CIB's Coming out in October 5!

    I've been trying to compare something not released to effects I know. That was a mistake. There's no possible way I can do that. There's also no way anyone can argue against my comparisons. Let's just wait for it and then we can see if these effects are amazing or not.

    Bird Magic?

    I also believe it's illegal to own a crow or raven without a permit. I also don't see the government giving out permits for "magical" purposes.

    CIB's Coming out in October 5!

    What you've described sounds a lot like "Passing Thru" by Kevin Parker. If you actually borrow the sealed bottle and coin, and the coin slowly penetrates the bottle, then that must be real magic. I'm not putting down the effect. But E is the master of hype and my past experiences with them have...

    CIB's Coming out in October 5!

    I'm imagining E's "revolutionary" coin in bottle will be a merging of a couple old ideas. I could put a coin in a "factory sealed" bottle by combining ideas from Ben Williams' "Labelled" and Charlie Justice's "Prohibition". Just my thoughts. I will not be purchasing.

    So why don't decks come with dupes?

    I think the most plausible answer is ... cards were not created specifically for magic.

    30 dollars whats an excellent effect

    I'm pretty sure everything covered in Crash Course 2 could be purchased for half as much. Probably could learn it all in a couple of old books.

    30 dollars whats an excellent effect

    Depending on what kind of magic you do, I'd recommend a book with many tricks as opposed to one trick. If you are open to any suggestions, then I recommend you get "13 Steps" and start learning mentalism.
