I am positive that neither of these effects are EXACTLY the same. Similar, yes, but not exact. I am almost certain that the methods are different as well. Still, this example represents a pretty interesting gray area of magic. In my personal opinion, I can't see Jay's argument as being fully...

just to clarify: the center part of the 1st edition box is the new part of the back design on the 2nd editions.

The back design on the 2nd editions is the same back design found on the box of the first editions.

I am almost certain that he labeled this stunt as 'impossible'. I heard rumors a year or so ago that the sleep deprivation stunt was actually supposed to be done instead of the Dive, but David said it was too difficult to do. I also remember reading (about 3 years ago) that he wanted to dive...

Ha Ha. I think you and I were thinking along the same lines.

When I saw him jump, I thought his body had turned into a dummy hanging from the cord. So, my first impression was that the ending was a transformation type of thing. Looks like I was wrong :S As far as the magic is concerned, there were several strong effects in this special. The card to...

It is not taught in Blueprints. However, he mentions in Blueprints that it can be found in the June 2003 issue of Magic Magazine. Hope this helps.

A contest involving ideas on how the site can be improved to better accommodate its members and the magic community.

For clarification, I stated that I have 2 degrees in Political Science because elitism was mentioned and was used out of context. Not once did I "wave" my degrees around as some have contended. Steerpike, you speak English as well as I do? "What have you done"? Well, I wouldn't want to be...

Still, I am not sure how I am an elitist here. It is also a shame that you have totally downplayed the fact that I have achieved 2 degrees. I am not trying to directly attack your character here however at this point, I am certain that you are obviously not fit to engage in any intellectual...

Well, I mentioned in my above post that I hoped that attacks on a person's character would be avoided in this thread. Unfortunately, it looks as though it has occurred. I do not believe that you know what the definition of elitist is. You seem to use that word very casually. I currently have 2...

It is unfortunate that you consider my post a "waste of space", as I have presented a very sound argument here. This is not even close to being a rant or a rave. A rant by definition is speaking or shouting at length in an erratic way. My posts are not erratic nor are they lengthy. They are...

Really? How so? Surely you cannot say that you are convinced that I have "forgotten" what it is like to be a beginner without providing an explanation. In fact, I remember it perfectly. After I met David Copperfield in 1991, I made sure that my parents took my to the library so that I could...

If I had it my way, I would create some sort of short quiz that prospective members would have to take before creating an account on Theory11. Nathan Kranzo and Derren Brown do this on their websites before you purchase an item. This may be a little bit too much for this site, however I believe...

To everyone, I have followed this website since its launch several months ago and I must say that I am fairly impressed so far. Lately however, I have seen things on this site that have concerned me and I feel that now is the appropriate time to voice these concerns. Magicians like Chris...

Eventually you will be able to do it one handed. Just put in the time and the effort.

Keep practising ;) When I learned the move, I used my other hand just slightly to support the pack. This will take some tension off the hand you are "popping out" with.

It has been mentioned many other times on the forums that the methods are different.

If one pays attention to the credits in the material of Dan and Dave, they will see the names of people like Brian Tudor, Ashford Kneitel etc. So, to answer your question, some of Dan and Dave's flourishes borrow or are inspired from the cuts of other flourishers (ie/ Brian Tudor and his One...

I highly doubt that Wayne or any other of the Theory 11 artists would create and distribute material that is a potential hazard. Please, let's think logically here. Also, an interesting aspect of this effect is that it cannot be tipped by an unskilled magician performing it on sites such as...
