This sums up magic now-a-days perfectly I'm afraid.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that there is no friend - you're visiting that site yourself. That's besides the point - and you need not reply to it - what I will say though: I'm just as against piracy in any form, but I think time could be better spent than cross referencing members...

I disagree - I think it's equal parts: creator and publisher. BOTH have to do the proper research to decide the authenticity of an effect/illusion/routine. It cannot be left up to just one side or the other.

There's been several cases of blatantly unoriginal effects being released. Just because it was approved, does not mean it is 100% original. A kid released an effect of snapping and restoring a rubberband - yes it's EXACTLY how you think it is, we all know that effect - and it was approved. I'm...

There's been several cases of effects being approved that turned out to be unoriginal. Some borderline obvious. One kid had a snap and restore rubberband trick get approved and was even making money off of it. And yes, it's the same snap and restore rubberband trick you learn and/or taught...

I agree. I made a thread in the Wire section of the forums asking if anyone in the know when it comes to the method of DG's effect has bought this effect and/or knows the method to this effect and can confirm or deny whether or not it's original. Daniel Garcia: "On The Rocks" - Project #6...

Hello, Was just checking my computer before school, and noticed this effect on the Wire: http://www.theory11.com/wire/vladislav-petkevich/bottomless/ I can't help but notice that in MY eyes, it looks EXACTLY the same as Daniel Garcia's method for "On The Rocks" from The Daniel Garcia Project...

I love Madison and his work. I think he's a giant among men - but when I was watching his videos again with my earbuds in - my girlfriend popped in over my shoulder and said, "Why does he keep looking at his hands?" Then I started noticing it more and more and more - next thing I knew I made a...

If Daniel Madison has something in his hands - he HAS to stare at it. ... and if he *doesn't* have anything in his hands... he'll stare anyway. (No disrespect - Daniel Madison is a god among men. If I was a tenth as talented as him I would be better than anyone. I just noticed this...

The first card I (Nathanael) pulled out was the Five of Diamonds ( 5♦ ), and the second card I pulled out was the Ace of Hearts ( A♥ ).

http://www.youtube.com/user/nathanaelbergenmagic?feature=mhee Anything from street magic, to stupid videos with my brothers, to a magic I made while being in a train for 5 1/2 hours.

I always thought Alex Pandrea looked like Eric Balfour.

Did you hear that? That was the sound of me and a hundred other people dying on the inside... But seriously - congrats to the winners!

You're thinking of 'Believe' by Joel Paschall (and later 'Conviction' by Justin Miller) which is a corner-torn-transpo. What Towcheeze is asking about is 'Prophet' by Tom Isaacson. And Towcheeze, to answer your question: they're relatively same in theory - but with a different application. When...

He's implying 'Shoe Business' by Scott Alexander. (At least that's what I think) [Amazing trick by the way.] And with all do respect, I believe that Craig's advice - although safe - is not conducive to magicians. Knowing the effect, I can tell you: it's not the most complex. By that I mean...

It was a joke... *facepalm* Also, great find! :D

I'll just leave this here... you know - so those of you who participate can think about it... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Kp5dk7JR4M&feature=g-vrec

I couldn't agree more. My friend Joe who works for Ellusionist gave me a deck of Gold Arcane's a few months ago. First thing I did when he handed them to me - opened them. He looked at me and said, "You know what you're holding, right?!" And I was like, "Yeah... but cards are meant to be...

Also, if you're wondering to the extent of my finger, imagine this: Left hand is fine - but my right hand, the only fingers I can really use are: thumb, pointer, middle, and ring. My pinky is protruding out and kinda bent. It's completely useless in terms of holding coins. So, imagine basically...
