I can only comment on Hollingworth's The Reformation, which is very clever indeed. However, Daniel Garcia's Torn is my favourite torn-and-restored trick to date. Everything about it - the fact that you can see so much of the card so plainly, the flow the effect has to it, the very (read: very)...

You're very deceptively taking things out of context. Gladwell plainly sums up thin-slicing with: "... as human beings we are capable of making sense of situations based on the thinnest slice of experience." He extrapolates upon this (with limited evidence, usually just observations), saying...

You guys are way off. Blink is mainly about the subject of "thin-slicing"; man's ability to gauge what is really important from a very narrow period of experience. It has _nothing_ to do with the brain instinctively "knowing" - subconsciously picking up - how sleight of hand is done. If that...

It's a good thing that cards really make the magician. Oh, wait.

If you don't use gimmicks, you're limiting yourself. It all looks the same to the spectator (when done properly), but gimmicks allow you to do things even more mind-blowing and impossible than with sleight of hand alone - things that truly make the spectator question reality. When used wisely...

Ha! That's a good one. I disagree with and don't support the business practices of Penguin. A free trick isn't going to change that.

Mitchell, I'm going to have to disagree with you here. The prefix 'anti-' means 'opposite' or 'counteracting'. Anti-fashion is, by definition, not fashion. I think there's another word that you may be looking for to describe whatever it is that you're talking about. There's really no arguing...

Really?!? Anywhere near Westfield? (ever even heard of it? Kind of a small town :P) It would be kick ass if I could get someone to do magic with, because NO ONE else in this town is into it.

That was......wow.

Somewhere around 11:15, I'd guess. But I really don't care about the prize. BBB

If people are thinking this after you perform for them with cards, you're doing something colossally wrong. People will think it's all manipulation and quick hands if your performance tells them to think that way just like people will be literally beyond words and believe that they just...

Got mine today! Exactly 1 month after it shipped, it's in my hands.

Guys, guys, guess what tomorrow is! That's right, tomorrow will be 1 month since the DVDs shipped out. And as of today, I still don't have mine. Seriously, what the hell.

I preordered mine. The preorders shipped December 9th. Ryan

This is absolutely, positively insane. Not you, Huron, but at whoever the **** was supposed to handle my package getting here within a reasonable, or even semi-reasonable, amount of time. I didn't receive mine today. This is the slowest I have ever waited for a package, magic-related or not...

I absolutely agree. And although it was totally out of Huron's hands, I'm very annoyed that the shipping estimate that was given was so far off. Didn't get mine today, either.

I'm on the East Coast US (New Jersey) and still haven't gotten mine. Looks like they're making their way Eastward across the country, though. The wait it killing me!!

I live on the East Coast US (New Jersey, to be precise) and as of today I still have not received mine. *Sigh*.

Behold the Scarabaeus is, without a doubt or any hesitation, the single most impractical magic effect I have ever had the displeasure of buying.

I'm with the others; why in god's name do you need 144 Wynns??
