I think I just made my second spin this season using the newly overcomplicated process. Scored +250 Elite Points. Was like, "Wow!" Then checked the archive. Oh, nothing really of interest in it. Selection is super-limited and prices (even in EP) seem super-high and vastly elevated. Not...

With better patter, that could be good.

I won 500 Points immedieately. Every spin after that has been No Reward. I wouldn't be surprised if they're gaming the system.

My biggest win ever! 500 EP!

You nailed it.

I figured that's what you might have been after. ;-) Personally, I'd suggest a reasonably powerful effect that is largely self-working. The important point is to ensure that no interesting sleight of hand is required. I'd say that "Gemini Twins" probably fills that bill.

No flourishes. No fancy moves. No odd methods of turning over the double. (I've seen some people use bizarre methods of turning over doubles which they use only because they can't do a proper double. Don't be that person.) A common "flourish" is to bend the double and flick it as if to...

What is the point of showing this trick to a beginner? If the point is to get them interested in card magic and provide some confidence in performing it, I absolutely would not show them a trick that involves a double-lift, since that is a non-trivial sleight. If the point is to amaze them...

My verdict is that this video could, and should, be improved. In my opinion, it is a *stellar* amateur production. But it does smack of some degree of amateurity. When you do something we can understand and we can see what the reaction to it is, that's great. When you do something and we...

If you don't restrict yourself to those brands of cards, take a look at Costco. You can get 36 Bicycle decks for $49. That comes to $1.36/deck. I prefer to buy used decks off of eBay. Much cheaper if you're just looking for practice decks. For practice, you really just want relatively...

Much better. I about flipped out... ;-)

Red: 6 of Diamonds Green: 4 of Hearts Red: King of Diamonds Green: 4 of Diamonds

This. If you can't afford to purchase anything, there is a good chance that your local public library has some excellent books and/or DVDs available. If not, ask the librarian to bring some of them in.

What? Is? This?

Guess #1: 6 of Diamonds, 7 of Diamonds Guess #2: King of Spades, 4 of Clubs

If I'd just selected Villanova.... D***. So close!

That did not just happen... With a few seconds left on the clock, UNC ties it up with a three pointer. With 4s remaining, Villanova comes back with another three to win? Ugh.

Haha! Awesome. Looks like the score will hit 80! There is OT, right? That was epic.

UNC 80 - 74
