LOL that's awesome! I'm going to use that as my signature! (I'll quote you of course)Dai Vernon never learned Sybil.
You know we are youngs,and we are in 2009,and the art of magic is going to evolve everyday!
A flourishing in card magic is not necessary,but,it also can better your perfomance,but it also depend,of what kind of act you are going to do..
What's that for "****"??And that is an excuse for learning **** I have no interest in?

I portray a scholar and chronicler of the occult, the paranormal, and the weird. Why on earth would I bust out a Sybil in the middle of a seance?
