    Looking through a layman's eyes...

    So, one of my friends have been trying to learn to do card magic, and I taught him the double lift and he has been practicing incessantly. To boost his confidence/check up on his progress, he approached his roommate, did a simple double lift, then turned it over, then turned over the real top...

    Criss Angel... magician of the century?

    For the longest time, I didn't appreciate Criss Angel much, dismissing his work as unoriginal (meaning all the thinking behind his effects were done by others), and dishonest to the viewers (camera tricks, etc). But I thought about it for a while, and that's what magic is.... complete...

    Saturday Night Contest - Roundtable with Jason England

    Mr. England, I'm glad (not really surprised though) that you brought up logical fallacies (straw man + arguing from authority) We should have a real debate some time, about something a little more worthwhile.

    Saturday Night Contest - Roundtable with Homer Liwag

    1) As an aspiring engineer (looking at industrial design as a possible major), your history with magic and engineering is very interesting to me. How has the information you learned while studying industrial design, or at least the logic and principles you might have used in the field, helped...

    A Quick ACR Question

    isn't it like when you tear something in your knee? =D When I first started, I used an ACR that I saw verbatim. I stopped doing magic a few months into it back then (now a couple years ago), then started up again a couple weeks ago. I forgot how it went, but I still know my sleights (and...

    Ideas about Control

    It seems like people are getting all riled up for some reason.... i didn't buy control, and I INTENDED to be clear about that from the first post (but i forgot to mention it). All I wanted was to begin a discussion about the particular method that I mentioned.... Completely unrelated to...

    Ideas about Control

    Nah, I definitely wasn't trying to get info on what Wayne does.... definitely not, I wouldn't do something like that.... I just wanted to see what people thought of my idea... And cell necrosis begins ~6 hours after you cut off blood circulation. Doing it for a few seconds won't do anything...

    Ideas about Control

    Alright, how do you know I didn't buy the dvd? I have it, and I know how it works... The people here seem so clique-y and narrow-minded, which is not what I expected at all from magicians.... You don't have to be a medically certified individual to know how to take a pulse... you could be a...

    Ideas about Control

    Yeah, I know it's not Wayne's method. But, I played around with it, and when my friends and I were studying for our physiology practical, and we had to measure pulses, I had them check out my radial pulse and I fooled most of them (except the first couple that told me that I seemed very tensed)

    Ideas about Control

    When I first heard about WH's control, I immediately thought about how it would be possible, and there was only one thing that I could think of. And that is the fact that the brachial artery (which eventually provides the blood through the artery you feel in your wrist when you check your...

    Magic in Flourishing

    Wow, I actually thought of the exact same analogy you used (about the shredding.. and was going to make a topic, and mention the same analogy haha) I agree that laypeople won't be able to see the difference between one cut and another. it's not "magical"... just a show of skill. And while I...
