Thank you guys, these replies have been insightful. I'd should clarify though, I'm already familiar with card springing, I was just wondering why everyone springs them backwards, I've rarely seen it done otherwise. Even badly executed springs are usually done backwards - not that I'm saying...

Sounds fantastic, I look forward to learning it.

Maybe it is called the Pentagon, after having a closer look at that youtube video, I see the display is actually quite different. Call me a noob but what is the Lionheart sequence? It is found on Genesis?

Hmmm, according to a youtube video, it's called The Circle. Who'd've thought it.

The name of this delightful little display?

Greetings, cards freaks. I'm not really curious about how you grip the deck, I'm more interested in how you spring it. It seems most cardists shoot the cards backwards, off the thumb, why is this? Is it just how you were taught or do you feel it gives you more control? I personally spring...

The System = hell to learn from. It's packed with beautiful flourishes, but the teaching angles are the worst I've seen, that's the only negative thing I have to say about it. They're demonstrations really, not tutorials. To quote Dan: Moving on, here is a list from The Encyclopedia of...

Fill one of those with water and keep it near by, along with a towel - these are for your hands of course. And as mentioned before, switch decks frequently, allowing the moisture to evaporate from used cards - I find it best to wait a day or more before handling them again. One more thing, you...

Greetings, good people. Awfully curious about this, have any of you skilled card manipulating freaks taken up guitar? I am wondering if having all that dexterity helped you a bit with finger positioning and chords.

Has it been shutdown?

Usually I'm not too fussed about "exposure", I know it takes passion, enthusiasm and a whole lot of practice to actually get anywhere with the art; which is obviously only something a magician would do. But lately I've been seeing more and more of it, a single ripped DVD will be downloaded by...

Too much magic, so much exposure. I don't think most of the well known performers(who market their illusions) realise the magnitude of all this piracy and theft. It's bloody huge. The more material they release, the more magic sits out in the open. I mean WHY are there so many tricks on sale...

Erm, what?

Well, its really up to you then, but I think you should follow Wayne's instruction; use 100% cotton thread. Rather wait for the right stuff, a magician should never be too hasty you know! ;)

Yes. Don't use it! There are tiny small microscopic lilliputian wee little miniscule pieces of nastiness in there, that can hurt your eye(s). This is what Polyester thread looks like: Now the 100% mercerized cotton: Er, I hope this was not too off topic...

That, is, so, freaking, true. Dammit.

Bugger off you. (:p)

Incredible. If I didn't know any better, I'd have thought these comments were from Youtube. :rolleyes:

Do they ever even use the forums?
