What's With the "Kewl" Titles?

[Randomwrath]

Flow follows alot of your modern magic rules, but is still beautiful. Technically it's an old effect with a modern method, but aren't alot of these effects?

I would still say Flow relies too much on shock to be beautiful. The reactions are WTFZOMG!!!!!! reactions, not reactions of pure, true amazement. Watch this video, then rewatch the video of Flow. Flow fools me, the method is definitely well concealed and I have no idea how it's done, but next to that, there's no magic. And yet, the video I linked you to has no visuality at all, no sudden surprise that makes you wonder if you just saw it. It's just pure magic.

I'm sorry if I've offended anyone

Don't be. Offending people is how you make them think.

You're wrong. You're an ignorant fool and I hope you die. Grow up.
Thinking yet?

To be honest, you're right there. But it seemed like the polite thing to say, and I am a lovely little chap with terribly good manners. And anyway, it saves making future posts clearing things up when people demand for me to be burned at the stake.

It's also been know to force someones hand in showing who they really are. Very useful .

I am not arguing with you, but...

If someone gets offended by a post, their personality dictates that a message saying you did not intend to offend will not prevent them from feeling how they do.

Other then that, Mrs. Lincoln, how did you like the play?

No, that is how you make people that are full of themselves think. (Believe me... I've dealt with those types before.) Anyway.... is this really what counts as intelligent conversation on the forums nowadays? Its hard to believe the deepest topic right now on this site is.... about why trick names on T11 are generally one word. Why does it matter? Who really cares? Its the name of an effect. Live with it. You know, we actually have a legit thread going on about something that actually matters in magic on the Cerca Trova board. We moved it up for a reason. Post in it. Anyway, I'll leave the thread open for now, but in all honesty I think it should be closed. Let's keep the this thread argument free. What do you say?

Lol I know right?
There are more important or interesting things to talk about in magic and all people are discussing about is a cool one word title.


Also,I hope some magicians on here dont tell their spectators that their tricks actually have names.Im saying this because Ive seen it and read that some magicians on here have actually said that they've told their spectators the effect has a name.
Which is just an idiotic thing to say.

You're right when you say that some of them make good sense, but many just do not. I'm not just referring to Theory11 stuff either.

It's just a little pet peeve of mine, nothing particularly wrong with it.

Differences in taste I guess. I am also a minimalist. I like that effect, but it seems long winded.

That's actually how one makes people think one is a dick.

If you were to say that people think more when they're outside their comfort zone, then I'd agree with you...

... They let you say dick, and I can't talk about bathroom habbits?


What kinda - $h!t - is that?


Oh, don't mind me, I just find the laws on language funny is all .

So what? I like having enemies. They're easy to manipulate.
