    Multi Card color change

    Ever since seeing Shin Lim's Shinanigens I have really liked playing with as you call them "multicard color changes." I think it's something you should just learn changes for, and then figure out your own unique way to link them together. It's a pretty fun project if you ask me.

    White Magic: My Review

    Steerpike, I concede/agree on every point. I like to use extremes in arguments, and it is not a good habit. So how do you feel about the merit of deceptive vs staged scenarios, and the idea that people go to magic for one and to movies (as an example) for the other?

    White Magic: My Review

    You are probably correct. I simply don't have the experience to know the reality of that situation; my question was not entirely rhetorical. However this does not change the sour taste that such "reality" style performances leave in my mouth, and I honestly would be more proud of him had he...

    White Magic: My Review

    If you are referring to a big box as in premade stage illusions, it still took a serious amount of deceptive ingenuity to create the box in question. However no, I do not see magicians that use other magicians stage props (that are 100% self sufficient and require only acting) as having any more...

    White Magic: My Review

    Is DB not an example of how much you can do without that kinda stuff though? Wildly successful, and Dan White has personally worked on his show? Is that not enough clout to convince execs to at least give legitimate magic a chance? And I just realized one significant reason why stooges are not...

    White Magic: My Review

    At some point in the next few days, once the holidays (and my head) settle down a little, I'm gonna take the time to come up with a coherent, logical argument here. For now I just have to say I disagree. And I hope someone else will keep this argument going because it is a good one to have.

    White Magic: My Review

    Haha yes they has actually happened to me many times. I just blatantly tell them "of course not, it is a very magical deck of cards, let me show you.." I find that sometimes the truth is more deceptive than any lie. And while it is a personal stance, it does effect the entire reputation of...

    White Magic: My Review

    I have no problems with gimmicks or gaffs, I just don't lie about them. However the line here is a very murky one. I cannot define it personally, but I can tell you that while I think gimmicks and gaffs and even complicated set ups are acceptable, stooges and camera editing are not. And instant...

    White Magic: My Review

    Rick, not even necessarily sleight of hand but just some of his ingenuity. The guy has a hell of a reputation. I don't even know if I want to watch it to be honest. It doesn't sound like my cup of tea, and I definitely trust Rick's opinion. There is a reason that David Blaine consistently gets...

    White Magic: My Review

    Scott what he is describing is more akin to having a stage set up. Which I think is perfectly fine. The line is crossed when stooges get involved, and I must admit that like Josh I could imagine a few ways to pull that off without stooges. None exactly practical for the average magician, but Dan...

    White Magic: My Review

    Perhaps we are just of a different matter of opinion then. I also see reality TV being pretty awful garbage so.. And yes it really matters if he had stooges involved. There are two different types of lying in magic, one is deceptive, one is just straight up lying. Stooges are straight up...

    White Magic: My Review

    I'd recommend against that train of thought. You should question everything, and form your own opinions. It is because people just assume that those with more experience must be better that so many poor ideas get passed along for such a long time. No matter how much experience someone has, they...

    Yeah I'll give it a watch when I have some extra time. And Scott how familiar are you with the principles of multiple outs?

    Idea of presentation for The Code

    It absolutely sounds like the best system of it's kind, but as I said I just don't really use those types of systems. Maybe I'll get more into it one day and I will definitely get the code then. If it could have pulled off what I was asking about earlier though that would have been something...

    Idea of presentation for The Code

    Hmm. Yeah that's about the idea that I had of it. And don't get me wrong that is a beautiful idea for magic, but I am perfectly content with the variations I already have. I like to use a bloody MN if you catch my drift. And even that I never really use, just like to keep it around. Thanks for...

    My Presentation of Pressure

    I think the idea is comedy gold but you have to work on it a bit. You should do some reading into comedy scripting.

    What do you think about my control?

    Yeah I definitely wouldn't say its valueless in performance, but I would say there are some significantly better and even easier controls out there.

    White Magic: My Review

    Hmm. I hope so, it was the postcard one that got me all fired up because that just sounded blatant. I will have to watch it for myself, and Dan I do apologize for judging you off of only a review. That is not fair and not my usual style.
