Actually, to clarify, I could imagine a handling in which the cards are dealt face up until the card that is stopped on.

I don't have "Insane," but my guess is that you can have the cards dealt face up. That said, if you have "The Open Prediction Project" I'm sure there's a similar method in there...

Hey Sovex, This is an interesting thread. As to your question of whether you're too old to be putting the time and energy (and money) into magic and manipulation, I'd say that it depends on whether you're happy with what you're getting out of it. If so, it doesn't matter if it's just a hobby...

Lu Chen did his own version. I'm not sure that method is in "The Berglas Effects."

The Williamson download is good, although you're better off figuring out your own body language and thinking about your own sense of timing than duplicating his little finesses. Actually, the best thing on the top change I've come across recently is this conversation on the top change vs. the...

Thanks. Cool of you to inquire about it.

Yes, people have emailed and tried. To be honest, it's not like I want a personal response and to know when my DVDs are coming as much as I think as a matter of practice they should communicate with the audience that they have built. If that's not their M.O, then shut down the Facebook page...

Yeah, it's that old thing in business -- or politics, or life, really: it's often not about the result but the communication. If there's been a problem and the DVDs are still far off, fine, just let people know. People signed up months in advance on faith, and their loyalty should be...

Thought I'd kick this post up to the top now that we're into 2011. Does anyone involved with the EMC (a promotional partner, perhaps?) have any idea what's going on with the promised DVDs?

iPredict is incredibly great. The design and implementation of the method is just so clever and well thought-out that the $2.99 is worth it just to marvel at it. The fact that it's amazing to perform is almost a bonus. I bought it at 9.99 and thought it was totally worth it. The developer...

No idea, but I wouldn't hold your breath. I mean, I'm sure we'll get them, but it has felt like producing the conference itself sapped up a lot of the EMC crew's energy. The individual shows were supposed to be edited into clips, and that hasn't happened yet, and it took days for the shows to be...

You have to use a particular kind of clipboard.

There's no reason to get them all at once. I'd probably just start with the first, but you might also want to check the tables of contents here -- http://magicref.tripod.com/books.htm -- and start with a volume that contains some stuff you especially want to learn. There are a lot of...

AOA are modern classics with lots of ideas you can keep coming back to over the years. TA is a really interesting experiment in presenting and teaching one particular style of magic through the medium of DVD. You can buy AOA one at a time and each volume is just over 10% of the cost of TA and...

Thanks, Asher. I'm not a big rubber band magic fan, but this looks nice, and I love clever methodology. I recently purchased Calen's "Steal" and think it's pretty great, so it got me interested in this one.

Do any purchasers have further reviews or thoughts on this effect?

Some of Jim Steinmeyer's mass market books are available, as is Richard Kaufman's Knack magic book.

Your new set includes some iPhone effects. Do you intend to be creating more magic that's based around technology, and what new platforms, devices, or areas of technology do you think are or will be fertile ground for future magic invention?

I don't know about this hand picture. I"ve seen it before and I do think it gets resized depending on what size computer screen you have. I have small hands and mine are huge compared to this picture on my 13" screen.

First, the new design looks fantastic. Congrats on a huge overall. Next, I'd love a detailed comparison of "Colorblind" with the existing Penguin disk, the ad copy of which says its nearly three hours long, contains multiple methods, and includes the original printed manuscript as a PDF...
