If anyone buys this thinking it will replace learning the stack, well it most likely won't and the magician will have learned a valuable lesson. Plus at $52 it's pretty affordable for a regular watch.

If you don't like it don't buy it, it's really that easy. If you have a problem with it because of "what other magicians do" then you should really mind your own business. If you feel like it is "making people lazy" again mind your own business. This watch is simply a little bit of an...

I always thought it easiest to get a book that uses some sleights you are already familiar with doing. When I read a book, I learn alot about the magician, I can tell what their favorite sleights are, and how they regularly preform (sitting vs standing). I tend to look for books by magicians who...

I would recommend Eugene Burger Mastering the Art of Magic. This book basically can take someone from knowing a couple tricks to being an actual magician who is entertaining. It's probably a good second or third book. It has card tricks that are not to difficult, but make a huge impact. It...

Who plays card games where you deal? Seriously most people play Hold Em which is dealt by a dealer. Cheating in hold em would not involve dealing. Just something to consider.

Just got an email from Lee Asher advertising this eBook. http://www.leeasher.com/store/online_downloads/stack_attack.html Read a couple of descriptions. Are these effects from Juan Tamariz's Mnemonica or am I off base?

Now on to the weekly failure .......... I personally find magic effects very difficult to "review or rate". There are moves which I could never pull off, but for others it may be their easiest slight. So an effect which may not work for me, may work for someone else. I would also say that...

Being a good magician does not automatically make you a good teacher. Who is the better teacher, someone who has 95% successful students, but no elite students or someone who has a 5% success rate, but all are elite students in the field? If you really want to help others improve their...

Does it matter if people didn't understand misdirection with the cups and balls? It's a classic effect done by many magicians today. What is the purpose of the code if it's okay to give away the secrets of the classics in magic? I thought the purpose of the code was to protect the secrets of...

As a corporate trainer, I can tell you most people do not give constructive criticism. Most criticism is negative and does not encourage the preformer to strive to do better. They the person giving the criticism usually blames the preformer for not being able to handle criticism. Here are my...

Because Penn & Teller are good magicians many people will defend them revealing magic. I feel they have violated the code, no matter how good or entertaining a show.

LMAO ..... ... amazing how many people answered a question that wasn't asked. I ride mountain bikes and own a go pro hero 3. I wouldn't recommend a gro pro for recording magic. It's got a wide lens and doesn't work well if you need to focus in on one specific object like ..... cards.

The Cafe is great if you want to read a glowing review every time.

Read the "Art of Seduction" by Robert Greene or "The Game" by Neil Strauss. Their book also applies to social interactions not just dating.

This is a valid point. So how do we compensate creators who are deceased? Do we let the magic die when the original copies of a book/dvd cease to exist? Do we compensate a 3rd party who didn't invent the trick? How about Erdnase? Who should be compensated for Erdnase? It is my opinion that...

I apologize for being a jerk on my feedback earlier. I would like to offer this feedback a) It is unnatural to take a card from the table put it back on the deck, then back to the table. You need a motivation for putting the card back on the deck it looks unnatural. If you are doing it to...

http://forums.theory11.com/showthread.php?39380-Two-Cards-Monte-By-David-Blaine You are right I did critque pretty harsh. I know I was harsh because the user had several "tutorial" videos on his you tube account. I shouldn't let that influence my feedback, but clearly in this case it did...
