    Help! Anyone know the name of this trick?

    I believe the word for that would be, "awkward."

    Help! Anyone know the name of this trick?

    Dude, for the love of Christ, do not do this crap. Look, here's the official forum rule on this: This extends to linking to other people's videos that do the same thing. Sweet chocolate Buddha, man! What about this is so difficult to understand? I don't give a damn that it's your opinion...

    Card Sandwich Performance/tutorial

    No, it really wasn't. While he does get some brownie points for showing his face, the majority of the video was more of the same cliches I've been telling people for years not to perpetuate. That is the disagreement front and center in this conversation, yes. That and the fact that he...

    Card Sandwich Performance/tutorial

    Dude, I see this constantly. Everyone's looking for a shortcut and they have a whole pallet-load of excuses not to try harder or fix their mistakes. How long could you put up with that before you finally say, "Enough?" So it's totally cool for this guy to take credit for something he didn't...

    Card Sandwich Performance/tutorial

    When I was 8 years old, I accidentally figured out on my own averages work. I am not however egomaniacal enough to think that I thus deserve credit for the idea of mathematically calculating averages. That is the issue at hand here. Sorry. Just remembered you don't like when I draw...

    Card Sandwich Performance/tutorial

    I spent years at college. I had to spend long sessions in the library watching, researching and writing about obscure films, domestic and foreign. You guys are making a couple of amateurish tutorials on YouTube. You can spend 15 minutes combing through a couple of books. Quit making excuses...

    pdf wire

    Unfortunately that's entirely dependent on whether or not they think they can make money that way. Given what a massive uphill battle it is on the forums to get people to read books as it is, I'm not sure they have the right audience.

    Business Card Magic

    Michael Ammar also released a compilation DVD of business card effects through L&L Publishing. Personally I use Docc Hilford's For One to End, but I do not recommend that for everyone. It only really works for performers with more of a cerebral element to their style.

    How To Improve Your Videos Overnight

    What about him? He's a hack. That's pretty much the entire story. Appeal to popularity fallacy. You do realize that is precisely why I wrote this thread, right? That's like saying you prefer Burger King over actual food. Yeah, it technically is your choice, but it doesn't change the fact...

    Help Us Stop Magic Piracy

    Technically speaking? You can't copyright a method, so it's really a matter of the two guys involved trying to come to a consensus. It's entirely possible, even probably, that the two developed it independently of one another without the other knowing. Happens all the time.

    Mentalism Force

    Pretty sure this was in The Jinx already. Maybe twice. If you can think of any effect involving a force, there's a 99% chance Anneman did it first. You can find a lot of his old material at Lybrary dot com. You'll have to do some digging, but combing through Anneman's material is like...

    Flourishy card tricks?

    There's no way to say this without sounding like an *******, but... if you look at my previous post, I said that you can buy the Encyclopedia in PDF format at Lybrary dot com. It's a really nice site that all of you reading should check out if you haven't already.

    Flourishy card tricks?

    The Encyclopedia is available in PDF download from Lybrary dot com, which is also a fantastic resource all by itself. The Jeff McBride DVDs are all available from L&L Publishing. These are all a bit more expensive than what you find at Theory 11, but you get what you pay for.

    Flourishy card tricks?

    It sounds to me like you're looking for the old school flourishing rather than the newer wave of manipulation which is closer to juggling than magic. In which case, a stronger investment would probably be the Encyclopedia of Playing Card Flourishes and Jeff McBride's Art of Card Manipulation...

    Card tricks

    If you really want only cards, Royal Road to Card Magic is one of the classic texts. The question I have is a bit different though. Are you looking for tricks that you can show off, or trying to get your basics handled, or trying to broaden your horizons?

    An effect by Dynamo

    I get that I come across like a prickly dick, but I'm really not a bad guy. We all have days where it's hard to even smile through our teeth. Okay, before I begin I just want you to know that this is in no way a personal attack on you. This is just me being an exhausted, irritable Slav...

    david Blaine t.v. special

    Uh... okay? Just so you know, we don't talk about methodology here. This forum is open to the public so we have to be really cloak and dagger about the mechanics of it all. So technically you're not allowed to tell us what those theories are. Was there anything else you wanted to talk about...

    An effect by Dynamo

    Look at it from my perspective. I've been working semi-professionally and professionally since 2007. Every time a magician gets on TV, we get a bunch of guys coming on asking, "Where can I buy this trick?" You find out that most of these kids don't even have the basics down yet. In the...

    Nature based effects

    This is why you should read the entire post before skipping straight to the Reply button. I'm just going to repost the answer I gave at E so that this thread isn't just recommendations that were already named in the first post. That sort of material can be difficult to track down because...

    While I get there's a social aspect to going to school, I don't get why people think it's a place where you do everything except learn.
