Unless i'm wrong, I don't recall anyone naming names (Well except maybe The Queens... but does anyone even consider that a trick, let alone magic?). Do you think that all their tricks are simply nothing more than Flashy Eye Candy? Or do you have specifics you'd like to point out and make special note of? (Deja Vu, Subway, Hofzzy Osbourne, Portal, etc.) Maybe explain a little. I'm just curious. Do you feel that their tricks are capable of being turned into magic through heavy modification and scripting? Or are they simply to far gone to ever be considered magic, no matter what? (Please keep in mind, what was said is refering to the tricks themselves. Not The Bucks.)
I've thought about it for a while now, and I really don't think that The Bucks perform magic. However, I believe that the same ideas, moves, concepts, tricks, ect., put into someone elses hands and mind, can make magic.
(In no relation to the two previous lines.) Right now i'm trying to have some fun with The Ishkabibble Sandwich. I was lookin for a different and unusual way to show the two Sandwich cards. So i'm trying to use the reveal for Headbergs Peak. A quick little illusion. Maybe it'll work, maybe it won't, but dammit, i'm making an effort. Either way, i'll chalk it up to Trial & Error.
For me, i'm fine using them as they are. They're good for the people that come up to you and say "Hey, can you like do something cool with those?" "Sure, watch this...". And you go into something like Tivo or whatever. Those are the people that don't really care much for scripted material. They just wanna see something cool real quick. And it tends to go over pretty good. No harm no foul ya know. Maybe that's just how I see it though.
