    Shadow Masters!

    I don't see all the fuss over custom decks, Tallys are as expensive as I'll go, I think they look awesome without the need for fancy printing. Bicycles and Tally's aren't common in Australia anyway, so I guess I always have 'unique' cards despite thier common value.

    DnD bloopers

    The bloopers were staged, they got someone random to do the bloopers so that we don't cotton on to their superhuman talents.

    Recipe for a T11 contest video or "whats wrong with flourishing today"

    Welcome to the internet everyone. The place all the arrogant people of the world congregate to prove who is the least 'n00b'. Last time I checked, a hobby was made for fun. If I'd been doing flourishing for 5 minutes and did a Charlier Cut that takes me 5 minutes and I drop cards, then make...

    My Respect for Criss Angel is Higher Than it Used to Be.

    I actually respect him more after this interview. You can be all magic purist where it's all about the magic, but Criss remembers that a big part of it is the show. I'm not a big fan of his goth image either, nor of how he generally comes across in his show. The thing I do like however is his...

    So Simple It's Scary

    I was sitting next to a friend in a lecture today, bored out of my mind, picked up my friends eraser that happens to smell like chocolate and asked "If I squeeze this will it make my hand smell like chocolate?" I was just playing with the thing, then when he turned away for a moment I took it...

    Beginner

    I first got Xtreme Begginerz, then moved on and got the Trilogy but found it difficult, after practicing Impossible Stack some more and trying out a few tutorials on Decknique and such I tried out The System which I found much easier with experiance. After dabbling with The System I moved onto...

    What makes Jerry's Nuggets special?

    Jerry's Nuggets are out-of-print but back when they were being made were easily found and had nothing special. When they went out of print they became rare just as any other out of print cards do. The reason they go for so much now a days is helped by the popularity garnered from their use by...

    -When Worms, Echos, Madonna, Mary Jane, Ferraris, Spiders, Jackson 5, and god knows how many other normal words just aren't normal anymore. -When you get confused by a normal sentance because your brain loses its normal link with above mentioned words and your friends must repeat things. -When...

    DearNancy

    Nice video but it really lacked any style or anything that really showed off the moves. I mean sure you could complete each one faily competently, but they didn't really flow or seem smooth at all. I mean why is it that no one seems to do the flares in Sybilism? They just kind of flap the cards...

    How much practice does it take?

    6 months with reasonable dedication would get you to a rather comfortable level. I've almost been flourishing for 6 Months, leading a rather busy life so I don't really practice that often but I'm starting to get rather competent at flourishing as picking up new moves is far easier than before...

    Mirage, first XCM performance

    The variations on the werm were obvious, there were six packets rather than 5, I think people should stop being such elitist tools and be more helpful in thier critisim. He asked for critisim, not to be yelled at and abused. Cut the guy some slack, we all sucked at some stage, and getting input...

    Noob talk (a.k.a day one with 'The Trilogy')

    If you are willing to put in the effort you can start anywhere really, if you like the material on the Trilogy and that's what you want to learn, go ahead. It's a hooby, it's supposed to be fun, you can do whatever you want :)

    What's new about Digital Dissolve?

    I don't really care if it's someone elses trick exactly or not. Theory11 was said to weed out tricks that didn't offer anything new, a source for hard hitting effects. If this is so similar to another trick available, then what is it doing here? What is the difference between Theory11 and any...

    Price of the Trilogy DVDs?

    The everything else disk is really for flourishers, if you aren't into them at all then don't really bother there isn't reall enough content that would interest a strict magician. None the less, it has some cool stuff, I love it.

    What should I get...

    Extreme Beginners, The Trilogy and The System are enough to last you for a long long time. Extreme beginners gives you alot of non-cutting flourishes, the Trilogy provides some hand holding complex flourishes while the System offers a number of great flourishes that also teach a lot of great...

    How many cards to you take out when flourishing?

    I feel wierd if cards are missing, the deck just looks wrong, no one can tell 3 cards are missing, but I know. I have big hands so I have nothing to worry about really :)

    Bikes or TH9's?

    Tally's are far more expensive for me, but I don't know if it's different stock, or just the pretty design that makes them so much more fun to work with. Bikes are great if I'm going to trash the deck practicing an airial or something, but otherwise TH9 all the way.

    Bikes or TH9's?

    This is the Cardistry forums, we don't care if they aren't common looking.
