    Must-read books?

    I agree on AOA and Mark Wilson's book. They're both amazing books. MWCCM is more essential than AOA, but they're both amazing. I also recommend Royal Road to Card Magic, Expert Card Technique, and Expert at the Card Table. John

    How to tell the Buck twins apart?

    De'vo doesn't exist either. He's really Wayne Houchin. Ever wonder why he never shows his face in videos?

    Saturday Night Contest : Wayne Houchin Facts

    Wayne spelled backwards is Enyaw. You don't want to know what that means in Greek. Without Wayne, this would be Theory 10. That just doesn't work, and we all know it. Wayne Houchin is not really Wayne Houchin. He's really Hayne Wouchin, a descendant of King Buck the Fourth, who never...

    Wynn's at a very cheap price

    It's not their fault that you bought them. Don't get so upset about this.

    Impromptu Card Magic

    I honestly think that you could get more out of RRTCM. I've had it for a while, and I'm still getting stuff from it. Try taking the "old" effects and modifying them to suit you. :) I agree with adjones on the Trilogy. Most of that is impromtu, and is "hard hitting." I also agree on...

    Too much. 'Nuff said.

    What's so bad about Jay? :(

    I'll admit that Jay can be annoying at times. He tries a little too hard to be funny. But that's only some of the time. Other that that, he's a great magician. John :cool:

    Practice Makes Perfect

    I have to disagree. A circle is perfect. I find it hard to argue against that. -------------------- Here's my thinking on this: Practice does make perfect. But if you practice the wrong thing, you are becoming perfect at the wrong thing. Now, let's say I want to learn a double lift. I...

    Knowledge Is Power :: A Magical Education

    Does anyone have Beyond Secrets by Jay Sankey? I've been wanting it for a while, but never got around to getting it.

    Improving T11

    I meant that worrying about post count is completely ridiculous, and the your post count shouldn't matter much in judging someone. Someone shouldn't be treated as a god because they have 10,000 posts. Sorry about the confusion. :) John :cool:

    Knowledge Is Power :: A Magical Education

    Hiding the Elephant is a fantastic read. I highly recommend it. I also enjoyed The Magician and the Cardsharp. It's all about Dai Vernon's quest to find the man who was said to be able to do a perfect center deal. It's a great book.

    Improving T11

    Maybe in the off-topic section, you don't get +1 for your post count. People may just use it to make their post count higher, which is completely ridiculous, because it doesn't matter at all.

    Knowledge Is Power :: A Magical Education

    I think reading books on the subject of presentation is essential. Too many people focus on nothing but the technical aspects of an effect, forgeting about the performance. One of the best books out there is Magic and Showmanship by Henning Nelms. I think every magician, young or old, needs...

    This is just plain SICKENING

    QFE. I was just going to say that. Jermay is not claiming he invented the effect. It's just his version of it.

    Magic Shoes

    Before we actually get back on-topic (;)), I think it's great that we're having a nice, civilized disagreement here, with people giving real apologies. Now, if this had happened somewhere else, then half the forum would have been banned by now. I just wanted to say thank for that. Okay. Back...

    Magic Shoes

    That's pretty sweet. I like Shane's idea with the reveal. People would love that. ;) And to PatrickDonovan: Learn some respect, please. EDIT: I just saw you post. Thanks for apologizing to him. John :cool:
