I'm sitting here bored, tired of COD MW2 incredibly glitched up the wazoo so I figured I'd post some more thoughts real quick.
I unfortunately have not read The Five Points in Magic, but I do plan on it soon. So if anybody wants to get Sherlock a present I can send you a virtual cookie
Anyways, I was thinking about the book and one thing that popped up in my head is when do spectators actually feel something? Not feel the magic or anything corny like that, but I only see magic nowadays that is just visual stuff.
I understand the greatest of effects are like this, but I have yet to really come across anything that actually adds the specs sense of feel to anything. There are effects that burn cards, and the specs can feel the warmth but I'm talking about so much more than that.
Here then There effect, some scripts involve "did you feel that" and unfortunately not many people do since nothing happened, yet some people just lie because they force it upon themselves. What can we do to actually make them feel that happen? Perhaps some psychology, Banachek, Jermay, and D. Brown certainly have some stuff on this, or perhaps a gimmick of some sorts that does nothing more than move the object a few centimeters in their hands or under their foot or something.
What can we do to add more to the magic, to literally feel it instead of making them think they feel it? There is only one effect that I am aware of that really accomplishes this, Altered by our own Dee C. They feel the coin wiggle in their hands and BAM, it's bent. That's what I'm trying to add more of in magic, any ideas?
If I gave you some pudding what would you do with it, eat it or give it as a sacrifice to demon5. What if I gave you a choice between DGP even the new stuff for free, or the same exact product for 50 bucks, which would you choose?
Be honest with yourself, as I would choose the free one. No offense to DG as this was purely an example. Now how many of you watch television shows, movies with no consent, get free music, pirate free apps or w/e else?
I was asked this question and I said I would buy the magic and everything else I would simply torrent or use limwire etc. Well I came to a conclusion not to long ago that this was just silly and a huge flaw in my morales, and I also compromised with myself. If something came to me, with no real searching then I would go for it.
I know some respected guys torrent some material here, not because of any bad reason but because they want to learn more and simply don't have the money for several reasons. I myself have had torrented materials, nothing I ever searched for but they came to me from friends and such. I don't feel good but I don't lose any sleep.
How many of you can sit here and tell me there is a difference between pirating magic and pirating music or movies? Besides one holds some real significance to you which most likely clouds your judgment.
Now to close this off, I do not condone or promote the illegal piracy of any product. I hope that all this nonsense can be stopped one day in the future, and artists of all types of genres of entertainment can be payed in fulled.
