    How to Make ITR More Silent?

    Hi, Some time ago, I had the very same issue.. I never could get it silent enough to work with.. I honestly don't think it's possible.. Nature of the beast kind of thing. So I relegated it to practicing with only, and bought a motorized one to use during a performance.. I had a lot of issues...

    Steve Forte teachings

    Oh yes.. Been there, done that.. Had to rewire my thinking process many years ago as well.. So I understand fully.. What my feeling is, is if Steve wrote it, it should be first rate. Like you say, he's one of the greatest of his time.. I see this book as more or less the Bible for people like...

    Steve Forte teachings

    Yep, 300 bones is a bit steep in price.. But it's a heck of an investment.. The information is priceless.. So I might just find a way to swing the cash..

    Who is Doc?

    Hi, What I can tell you about the man, is that when he says he has been taught by the best, or had dealings with the best in the business, it's not idle boasting.. It's a fact.. I won't drop names out of courtesy for them professionally, but I can guarantee that I have first hand knowledge of...

    Who is Doc?

    I've heard of the man.. Have never met him personally.. But his reputation is, "if you're dumb enough to gamble against him, you get what you deserve." His reputation speaks for itself.. I've tried to research him myself.. But can't find much on him that you guys haven't already found.. I chalk...

    How can I get the most from magic books?

    Hi, You say you meant no offense by saying certain things, and I myself take no offense to anything you've said.. As for your comment above, I agree that some authors make it more difficult than it really has to be when explaining a move or trick.. Some are better at it than others.. I think...

    Can you pleeeaaaase ban this guy from creating more spam?

    I have to agree with Arpy.. Every night I come on the board to read, and maybe contribute something positive to the board, and I'm smacked with pages and pages of Chinese characters everywhere.. Makes it hard to find the real threads when you have to sort through these idiot spammers.. I know...

    Playing cards

    Well, if it was me, the first thing I would do is contact companies that actually make decks, and see if this is something they might want. But that's just my thoughts on it.. I've never done anything like that, so have no clue other than that suggestion.. I'm sure there are plenty of companies...

    Back to Fundamentals

    A good spring takes lots and lots of practice.. Nothing ever comes overnight.. Hand cramping is expected here after a while.. Many of us have practiced for years to do what we can do.. Don't be discouraged.. Stick with it, and you will triumph eventually.. It's just a deck of cards.. And you are...

    Are custom cards that much better?

    I would agree with what Antonio said here, "I'll be honest and say that (to me) crushed stock is noticeably different from standard stocks. The cards are thinner and snappier. They feel nicer out of the box but they won't necessarily make your magic better or make sleights easier (except maybe...
