I love the dice stacking with the cards, i'll definitely be picking this up.

Yea, that would be great. I'd like to hear what you think of it.

By basics I mean a sybil, charlier, revolution cut. Although these aren't used in Crunk, if you have these basics down then Crunk isn't a big step up. I think you'll be fine with it.

It's difficult to say as I haven't bought it yet. I can't see anything in it that would need particularly big hands. You would need a basic understanding of flourishing to perform this, if you can't do any flashy cuts already this might not be a good starting point. If you can do the basics...

I've never really given it much thought, sometimes at the end I might say the Ace of clubs changes into the King of Clubs. This implies that each Ace has been changing into the matching King. Although, I think spectators simply notice that a King has appeared, not the suit. In all the...

I am aware that there are many pasty malnourished teenagers on Youtube who suck at flourishing. Which is why I specifically referred to Kevin Ho so people wouldn't bring this up, but you did anyway. I'm not going to disagree on the books thing, it's not really what this about. I know it's...

I would say the difference between this and the standard 3 packet cut is negligible. There's simply the addition of a break. To use your analogy of M&S. Tesco sell a Chicken for £3, M&S come out with some BS about how it's the best chicken ever and has an awesome taste and a really cool sauce...

It is your opinion that it has no merit, quite a few people agree with me. Either way, personal insults are still unnecessary. I would assume you are referring to him as I believe he is the only person I have suggested people learn cuts from on Youtube. Why should people take a risk when...

Obviously defining what is public domain in most areas is exceptionally easy. In magic it is difficult as it is sometimes imposssible to know who originally created something or who owns it or how old it is.

Saying i'm having tantrums is completely unnecessary, I have not made this personal and have never insulted you. I am happy to discuss this with you but there's no need to try and trivialise people's arguments with stuff like this. Kevin Ho is not an 'Acne ridden skeleton' and is as much of a...

The ethics for magic and caridistry are somewhat different due to the nature of the moves, magic is based on secrets, cardistry is not. As for a double undercut that's somewhat awkward as you could argue that it's a cut or a sleight, although this is an exception not a rule. Defining what...

I didn't want to reply to this topic anymore as it's just going round in circles but I will reply to this as it's a bit different to the rest of the posts. Nobody has has ever suggested that learning cuts on Youtube is unethical, if somebody creates a cut they have every right to teach it. In...

To be honest I didn't see anything on there that justified a DVD release. The displays looked awkward, they were not well thought out. The productions weren't particularly original. The Madonna style cut was slow enough to be a tutorial (unless it was a clip of the explanation). You should...

I don't entirely agree with you but i'm going to leave this for a few reasons. It's getting exhausting typing out the same things again and again and the discussion is going round in circles. We have different points of view and we aren't going to change, we could both keep repeating our...

Unlike many other people, I have never pushed the issue of this hurting beginners (I have mentioned it but it's certainly not whats bothereing me). I don't want to argue, I want to discuss the issue. I have not made fun of anyone. As for me having anything better to do... it's a Sunday, I...

No, we should not ditch Sybil's, although if it is to be sold I would expect a considerable improvement/variation on the orignal concept for it to be sold. If the basic Sybil cut was sold for $5 I would not be impressed. Dan and Dave's Mecka or Jackson 5 is a major variation on this concept so I...

I can see your point. I was referring to people's original creations, which they can teach/expose if they want. Obviously, I would not refer somebody to videos of a flourish that is being taught without the creators permission or if the creator does not want people to learn it.

It uses a break, which any beginner will already know. It's the absolute most basic 'move' in magic and is taught everywhere so this won't be a problem unless this is the first video they ever buy which it almost certainly won't be. I imagine most people can make the distinction between cuts...

For some reason, friends will often try and cause trouble. They probably don't realise quite how annoying it is for you. I have a couple of friends I never perform for. However, the problems you listed could be easily avoided. To avoid people saying stop at the beginning or bottom when doing...

There's no hypocrisy at all. Nobody has ever said you shouldn't learn cuts on Youtube, they have only said this about magic. If somebody creates a cut they can do whatever they want with this. Magic has secrets but flourishes don't. You can't 'expose' a flourish. People have been learning...
