1) What do you see cardistry as? i.e. an art form, a display of skill, superior dexterity, etc. and why? 2) Do you ever create flourishes to mimic the motions of things around you?

First off, I'll second Casey's recommendation of By Forces Unseen. HOWEVER, sometimes the descriptions are a tad hard to understand at first (as some slights are pretty complicated), and the routines themselves are very, very slight intensive and difficult. In about a month or two of practice I...

mine are holding up fine too.

I had the opportunity of seeing some of his effects live over the weekend- he's great

Yes, I've made it in a way that you can dissassemble it, however from experience I know that the permanent way gives you a much better gimmick.

At the moment I would value them around $50

1) What do you think this form of conference can bring to the table that a physical conference can't? 2) Though 32 speakers is a lot and certainly gives people their money's worth, why did you choose to get together so many magicians to talk about a wide range of topics as opposed to having...

I could be wrong, but I believe that this is what Zach is talking about. By assigning a different status to all tricks with gimmicks, you are not allowing yourself room to fully explore the possibilities of sleight of hand, and instead using gimmicks as a crutch. (Though there ARE, admittedly...

I second this wholeheartedly. If you are at all interested in anything coin magic related, get Modern Coin Magic. It has EVERYTHING you need to know. Sleights, routines, gimmicks, psychology, AND its 1/3 of the price of most DVDs. You won't regret it. Also, doing magic and being lazy are...

I'd say they probably have both, with ivory available upon request (that's how conjuringarts does it). If they only have one, it would almost certainly be the cambric as that is the most similar to bicycles and is more widely used.

That's what I have in mind when considering this video. I for one "bought" the package of the Anaconda and eye cut. Don't get me wrong, i was extremely willing/happy to donate to japan; I do, however feel a tad miffed that the virts/Bone would give rewards that purport to be one-of-a-kind and...

1) I think for magicians sandwich tricks are some of the easiest to figure out because often when two cards are presented to sandwich a card, you immediately know what to look for- how the card gets controlled near those cards, or vice versa. Most plots, even some of the great ones you...

What kind of palm/vanish are you working from?

I know people ask for extensions every week, but can we get one for this so we can perform for our mother ON mothers day?

1) What is your creative process in creating a trick? (e.g. move first then shape the trick, idea first then work out the moves, etc.) 2) Do you think that giving the spectator a souvenir makes any effect stronger? 3) If you were stuck on a deserted island for 10 years, and during that time you...

I was thinking about getting this, but I was wondering how similar the method is to Counterfeit Hollingworth (if you know how that one works), and if it is worth having both

Counterfeit Hollingworth is a lecture only DVD, as both he and the DVD proclaim. Also he did an east coast tour this fall-- I saw him in December (I think). Without repeating everything that was said, I loved this lecture. I felt that I got more than my money's worth out of it. He gives solid...

3 of hearts

Though I don't have the DVD, I've heard great things about metal. I also think eric jones is one of the best artists on ellusionists roster. You almost always get what you pay for. Another great set is the David Roth coin set, which is 3 DVDs and goes over tons of basic moves and routines in...
