Just as an update on my personal development (if anyone cares...), I was getting a bit frustrated again, and seemed to hit a wall with my magic practice. I felt like there was too much to learn, and nothing was quite clicking. I made the decision over the past week to instead focus on...

I kinda feel like a part of this, as going back and re-reading, I came across as quite a smartass in the "Criss Angel" thread. I'd like to publicly apologize to you, William, if you feel I put you down in any way. You were one of the first to welcome me to the forum, and you definitely have...

http://store.artlebedev.com/toys/card-games/36-54/space-invaders/ I didn't make these, but I stumbled upon them today. They're perfect for those of us whose card addiction matches our videogame nerdism. :p Not sure I want to find out how much they'll be to ship from Russia, though...

Somewhat on topic: If I've already bought the effect, and I have questions for Shin, is it considered acceptable and appropriate to message him through the forum about it?

Luxembourg.

Ah, flaunting the post count. So you DO know how forums work! ;) Anyhow, I'm not trying to bash you personally or professionally, but I call troll when I see trolling happen. Yes, I'm new here, and I come for advice and reviews and the like. However, I've been around the internet for quite...

So let me get this straight. You were frustrated with not getting reactions on the forum, so you posted something inflammatory specifically for a reaction? That's called trolling. Not to start a fight, but are you not familiar with internet forums? Sometimes you can post the most...

To be honest, I've never really had an issue with Criss Angel. However, I did dislike his "autobiography", as he came across as kind of arrogant and douchey, and it was pretty much a 200 page advertisement for his TV show. Beyond that, though, I don't see why he garners such a negative...

Through odd means, I acquired several magic DVDs a few years back, including the two Cultural Exchange DVDs (Shoot Ogawa and Apollo Robbins, mostly card and coin stuff, if you're not familiar). They sat for years, until my recent re-spark in magic interest. After watching them, I was left...

Just a quick update. I haven't been practicing as much as I would like, but I do feel like I've made some progress. I feel less frustrated about where I am, and have been focusing more on learning what I can and enjoying the process. My girlfriend remarked the other day that she can tell a...

Thanks for the response, Rick. I want to stick with the cards, because I've always had an affinity for them. I like the look and feel of a deck in my hand, as well as the impromptu nature of doing something amazing with something everyone's familiar with. I mentioned earlier in the thread...

So just a follow-up on this post, as well as some frustration venting. I've been working on stuff for the past couple of months, and for some reason, I feel like it's just not clicking. I know that I can't possibly get to the level of "presentable" so quickly, but I feel like I have barely...

This was actually my go-to book when I was younger. :) I probably still have it around, somewhere.

When I was younger, I became fascinated with magic. It was the mid-to-late 80's, so it was a good time for magic on TV, and I got to see a live David Copperfield show in my hometown. I found every book I could on the subject, and learned as much as possible. There was also a nearby magic shop...
