You little stalker!
-What inspires you to create flourishes? Do you just fiddle around until you find something cool or do you set your mind to it and try to make one.

-What inspired you to make your own playing cards?

-Any news about the andthensome dvd?

-Are you going to release a third edition of Smoke and Mirrors?

-Do you think you're better than Andrei Jikh?

1) Who are some of your favorite magicians or flourisher's to watch besides each other? Break it up into different categories, stage, street, cardistry, close-up etc.

2) What is your favorite place you have visited in your magic travels?

3) Do you still slide down escalator banister's or get kicked out of places for having fun?

1) When you guys were first starting out, did you ever think that you would make it this far and become the cardistry icons that you are today?

When you guys perform magic, do you present it like "magic" or "sleight of hand"?

Dave/Dan: What utility move do you feel is the most used/best by you? (double lift, force, 4for4 etc)

Which deck of cards do you use on regular basis?

What does your parents think about your magic and flourishes?
 
When creating a move or flourish, how do you know if it is even physically possible? Is truly anything possible?

Sometimes when I'm trying to make up a move, I wonder if ANYONE can do it.

What would you do if a "traditional" magician walks up to you insults you in some way?(involving magic). Like insulting flourishing in some way.

Here are a few. Pick and choose the best ones....

What is your favorite thing to perform that you have created (effect or flourish)?
What is your favorite thing to perform that someone else created (effect or flourish)?

Are you officially going to stick to creating solely in the magic community, or do you ever see yourself branching out into the actual film industry (be it writing/directing or designing and editing, etc...)

And not to beat a dead horse to death, but where in the heck did you learn the Miller Shuffle originally, and can you give us any info on whether or not it will ever be officially published! ;)

-Have either of you worked on any other magic besides cards? (coins, cups and balls, etc.)
-Who is your favorite magic creator?
-I've noticed that a lot of the tricks on the Trilogy (I assume those are the effects that you use daily) are very flourishy and very quick. Why do you choose to present an effect like that over the traditional use of (extensive) patter?
-Have either of you read Royal Road to Card Magic, or did you start card magic with other means? (Just wondering :))

What do you think about people doing tutorials and keeping them underground?
