On the preview for the new Bee cards: "Reserved only for the world's finest casino's". Geez, some one at T11 needs to go back and learn their basic grammar, or else quickly fix that typo. I mean, when you're trying to produce a really proffesional video like that (and the rest of the video is...

The video and audio quality was crystal clear, the navigation simple (though the tricks could have been ordered in something other than random fashion), and the over the shoulder video shots useful. The teaching was clear and never left anything out, though it would have been nice to hear a...

Here's an issue: I already know how to stop my pulse, but I don't know how well I can make an effective trick out of it. Control seems to be a well made product, but I'm curious if you think the "extra" stuff is worth $30 when I could, potentially, just figure it out via trial and error. Thanks...

I'm almost through the material from the second disc of the Trilogy (still got sybilism, leno cut, and pandora to go, and working on smoothness of other things) and am looking for new places to go. I like the stuff I've learned from D&D; it's good stuff for just popping a flourish that makes...

After my first truly succesful performance of Joel Paschall's BeLieve ten minutes ago, I have decided that the effect is, in fact, the perfect opener. (Even without all the philosophical mumbo jumbo, fun as that may be. It depends on your spectator.) Plus, I don't have to worry about it...

Last year I purchased the Trilogy as a near complete beginner, and have since gotten most of the material down. I'm looking around for new flourish albums and am interested in diversifying. I like how D&D's cuts work as complete units, but other things I've seen seem to be a little bit more "my...

Street flourishing If this has been posted before, please excuse me and direct me to a good thread with a link. I'm interested in doing some street flourishing. I've never heard of anyone doing it before, but I think it'd be a fairly successful venture. It seems like a good way to start to...

I've always been curious what the age demographics on this forum are, so here's a poll to find out.

Please watch this video and tell how you like it. It's worked much better for spectators so far (two of them), and it will likely improve once I get the mechanics down. And yes, I invented the entire thing myself besides the obvious ideas from Hand to Mouth. I'm interested in posting a...

Here's an interesting situation for you to think through: unexpectedly one day you get two hundred dollars. You decide pretty quickly that you want to invest it into magic, getting higher level stuff that will set you apart and really fit with your style, and want to get things that will work...

I have posted my very first magic video on YouTube. (Well, it's actually my second, but the first one isn't much good. So I guess it's my first half-decent magic video.) It's D&D's Commercial. I can tell my riffle force isn't great, so I'd love any comments on that or on anything else...

I recently got Chris Kenner's Totally out of Control to get some more variety in my magic, to branch out from just cards to coins and other miscellaneous items. (I don't think I'm going to be performing Into the Woods at school, though.) I've learned a few of the card tricks and am happy with...

I'm considering purchasing Believe. First, is there anything on the DVD that you don't get in the download? If there is, is it worth the $5 shipping cost? Also, I have a question about the nature or Believe, which I hope can be answered without the danger of exposure. What's its variability...

I've realized something today: for all of our talk about what tricks are best and what we like the most and what not, it really does come down to performance. Today I was "in the zone" and was performing better than I usually do. I did "Hand to Mouth", usually not considered that great of a...

I've been working through the flourishes in the Trilogy (so far the Molecule and Akira) and have struggled with Eko. I can do the first bit pretty well, but am having trouble getting the two packets around each other in my left hand. My hand is pretty big and pretty flexible, so I don't think it...

In the scheme of cardistry, how difficult are the flourishes on the Trilogy? I know it varies from flourish to flourish, but any general idea would be helpful. Also, the same judgment about the relative difficulty of their tricks would be great. Thanks.

Most of the times that I try to play videos in the media section, they don't play. (I've tried looking at them in both Internet Explorer and Firefox.) I click the video once to start loading it, but no video length is shown; I see 0:00/0:00. If I click it again, no video plays. Any help with this?

Ok, so in search for how to break through people's defensives when doing magic I looked many places. I've searched on here, started a thread on Talk Magic, and have even gotten a whole book (Win the Crowd, which I didn't particularly care for). None of these sources outlined what causes people...

Where do I buy it from? Any cheap/used copies that you know of? Thanks.

Ok, I admit, I use Bicycles; always have and... hope I won't always will. I hear much talk of other card types and their superior aspects and see many different types in videos, and am interested in branching out and getting some new kinds. The magic store guy in Chattanooga said that if you're...
