    Regarding of Stack Deck

    Just use the one you got, otherwise you'll end up being confused and annoyed with all the different stacks. Find ONE you like and stick with it.

    Body Magic

    Eh the David Copperfield arm twist thing is pretty much known by just about everybody and is kind of a throw away effect.

    Alternative to the "Pinky Count"?

    It depends on the situation and everything. Some guys who do the pinky count have the look like they are constipated and others are just awesome at it. What I did when learning it is just practice while watching TV, sense it's not really a "Move" that you need to watch your hands for or anything.

    The Pass

    He used to have a DVD and two metal things that would help you with your pass. I don't know if he still does now, The thing was like 100 bucks and has to be shipped from japan. Not really worth the money. There is two DVD's out there. Pass with Care. On The Pass. Both seem to be pretty good.

    Respect is a two way street. If you want them to respect you, you have to also respect them as well.

    Why Roberto Giobbi is a Good teacher.

    I remember how Harry Lorane took like 6-8 pages just to describe the swing cut. It's like "Dude, it's not that hard to explain. Get to the point." I've read a few books that were a bit confusing when it comes to them explaining the effects.

    Why Roberto Giobbi is a Good teacher.

    He's a lot better writer than most magicians out there, but that is primarily because he understands that when you explain stuff in a book, it should be direct and straight to the point.

    Get Off Your High Horse...

    That is where the problem lies tho. Steerpike get's off on adding fuel to fire because he generally often has nothing better to do in life. Plus you guy's (the mods and admins) generally let him get away with, just put "banning" him for a day or so. (Note to you: when you ban somebody for a day...

    Gimmicks are WRONG?

    This topic sucks and is now about pornstars. Would you date one and would you have a problem with her job being that she is being railed by a different guy each day/week.

    Criss Angel on Wrestling

    Are you drunk or High? Or possibly both. Criss Angel didn't start at the WWE hell, his career pretty much had literally nothing to do with wrestling at all.

    Forum Suggestion

    Neat idea, but really that's all it is. In it's practical use everybody would be abusing it. "Hey acted like a jerk in whatever post." *dereps person.*

    Gimmicks are WRONG?

    Do what works best for you. If you love being all sleight of hand. Then go for it. If you enjoy using gimmicks for your shows. Then have at it. What really matters is how your audience perceives the show. If they are enjoying it and being entertained. Then you have done your job. I...

    Actually you can, it's called Espionage and the CIA does it all the time.

    Getting a kiss successfully after a trick?

    This thread needs to be closed. The problem was solved already and this whole bickering thing between everybody and Steerpike is not only stupid and childish, but it's pretty much beyond everybody. The main poster asked for a simple way to get a kiss after an effect. I gave him that answer...

    Getting a kiss successfully after a trick?

    OK, everybody here needs to check their ego's at the door. The guy asked the question, he got yelled at and then it later got answered. problem solved. If you guys want to fight about something that doesn't really concern you, then take it to the Magic cafe. God knows there is enough bickering...

    Copying David Stone's Short Videos

    I don't see what the big deal is. So the guy copied a 6 year old David Stone DVD montage of bad jokes. Who cares..

    WOW, copy much?

    There are a ton of other magic apps on the market. So I guess all those other guys are just ripping off Theory11 because they pioneered the market on magic iphone apps. *sarcasm*

    Houdini Card Magic

    He wasn't the king of the cards. Otherwise Vernon and pretty much a ton of other card magicians at the time wouldn't have been able to fool him. Houdini was great at two things. Escaping things (as Vernon said in an interview) and creating publicity for himself.
