    Cyril Takayama in "Redbelt"

    I finally got a chance to watch this movie, of course for the 30 seconds of airtime that Cyril got. I was surprised, however, to find his name in the credits listed as "Cyril Takata." Is Takayama a stage name? Can anybody shed some light on this? Just curious. edit=-=-=- So I looked on...

    New Jersey Magicians?

    Bumping to keep this thread alive, maybe a regional forum is a good idea? I'm going back to school at NJIT in Newark in the fall, which is Essex County.

    New Jersey Magicians?

    I know where Cresskill is, I go to church around there, in Norwood. I live in Leonia, by Fort Lee and Palisades Park, and I just turned the big 2-0 last month.

    Is it just me?

    "Brad Christian lights orphanages on fire and regularly shoots puppies; that's why I don't like him." If I saw a comment like that on T11, along with solid, undeniable proof, I would probably share in the sentiments of hatred that so many of you feel. But as far as I know, he's never killed...

    SNC: 08.02.08:: Summer Movie Magic

    And another submission: "There's an urban legend about a magic trick. A little girl climbs out of a well, walks up to you, and asks to borrow your ring. She squeezes her hands tight, and the ring vanishes. Then, showing her hands empty, she reaches into her back pocket and pulls out a...

    Free deck of Bicycle cards from USPCC...

    So it's been 4 months since this survey was posted. I had essentially completely forgotten about this offer, but I got home today and what's in the mail? A small package addressed to me from the lovely folks over and the US Playing Card Company. I gots me a nice Vintage Cupid Backed Deck...

    A true legend, he'll definitely be missed in the magic community.

    Ellusionist - Losing Touch?

    Alrighty, I'm gonna attempt to throw my 2 cents into the ring. First of all, the egos are stunning. Who do you think you are, dictating who can and cannot learn methods of magic? What, you can do some card tricks and all of a sudden you're better than the general population? Somehow that...

    Kennedy Half Dollar 1964?

    Go to the bank, ask the teller for a roll of half dollars. They have 20 half dollars rolled up, so chances are you'll find the date you're looking for. I personally am big on having the bicentennial halfs from 1976. And the half dollars that don't match, you can use. They are money after all.

    Can we become Moderators?

    I would have to assume that if the staff of the forums notice that you're making good posts and sort of.. have the qualities expected of a moderator, they might contact the member and bump him/her up to mod status. But for now it doesn't really seem like they need too many of them.

    Criss Angel To Win "Magician of the Decade"?

    I'm waiting for Sankey to hop on here and drop his 2 cents, because I think I would have a lot of fun reading the words of the same man that created the beautiful Craig Angelo video in the media section. To me, Criss has become more of a pop culture icon than a magician. He's featured on TMZ...

    Name of this trick

    You have effectively described the basic concept that defines the ambitious card routine: card goes in middle, ends up on top. Like everybody else has stated before, and as I'm sure you know, there are a million ways to accomplish it. I, like many others, feel your description is incomplete...

    Visual Aspect // Prophet and Extreme Burn

    Calm down Shane. Obviously the comma remark was aimed at ninja and what Deryn aptly referred to as a wall o' text. So before you get all bent out of shape about my statements, make sure you realize who I'm aiming them at. On a side note, I'm glad you're able to shamelessly misspell apologize...

    Pro Magicians - Effect Quality

    Magic, like so many other things, has become a money-making industry that is not there to help you wow people as much as it is there to make you buy something. Some magicians (I'm not going to name any names) have found success producing some early and very powerful effects, and with the fame...

    Visual Aspect // Prophet and Extreme Burn

    I'm gonna go ahead and hop on the bandwagon of people who are saying that had Prophet come first, it would have done better than it will probably do. But c'mon; Richard Sanders is a well reputed magician who has released several extremely good products. If you're afraid of quality, you're not...
