    Magic or Misdirection

    Through many years trial and error the answer is simple. You say neither, or give any hints to either/or. I've never really understood why at first we feel the need to be the guy that has secrets of the universe and the supernatural, then we tend to progress to the cardshark "wouldn't play him...

    True Astonishments or Not?

    Of course it's your world (you just asked for opinions). This is a list of books I open time and time again. About 95 percent of everything I do came from the following in some way shape or form. Perhaps it will help you out a little. With 350 bucks you could near take the mother load...

    True Astonishments or Not?

    Buy some classic books. Thank me in 40 years. For instance you could buy the complete Tarbell Course and Vernon Chronicles 1-3 with some money still left over. 11-15 books or something....should be no contest :)

    Magic Products overdoing it?

    I agree. Not much more to say man....your not alone. Good news is when you say you don't care...I really don't care. I haven't ever really seen an ad for magic books, which gets all my money. May sound like blasphemy, but I think over all depending on the site, they are marketing to laymen...

    Exposing methods on the internet

    It's a matter of simple ethics. The topic is on "exposure". There is no more sure fire way to expose magic than through a openly downloadable video. Masters of the art produce books, and then perhaps videos on the basis of their books. Anyone with a camera and that "old classic" that puts...

    Exposing methods on the internet

    Denny is the most respected dealer in the Universe. It's not even a debate. Every pro in the world walks into his REAL shop and purchases from his store mostly exclusive. You may have heard of Roy Walton, he is the other on the top of the list, with Tannens and a few others. But what does...

    Exposing methods on the internet

    You have no idea how much I just gave you the hand. Who is Denny!?!?! Why should you care. Walk on....walk on. Your points are horrifically flawed on every level you responded to. No offense. But not worth my time to go any farther. You just sort of exposed yourself as you really are...

    Exposing methods on the internet

    I suppose that was directed at me. Selling magic videos is not a way to make a living. Making a living from magic comes from performing, or if you really have the polish publishing a book. I find it odd how people somehow tend to think magic is "a different type of thing" when it comes to...

    Exposing methods on the internet

    I think it's the people with their hands out, wanting to make your money their money, that are the worst by far. I rant about it here and there in my blog. Sure to tick a few off :rolleyes: http://cardman.2kool4u.net/

    theory11 SNC :: roundtable discussion - Dan Sperry

    Don't you get tired of these magicians that keep releasing classic plots as video downloads? Why do modern magicians seem to need an archive of at least 10 ways to reveal a card with some goofy gizmo? Did you see those videos of "Pressure" being performed over a decade ago? And do you...
