    On the use of custom cards...

    An excerpt of a post I put up a few weeks back... On a slightly unrelated note, playing cards are different. Black Tigers don't inherently look gaffed. Would you question a goth magician with two piercings and dyed black hair if he used a black tiger deck? Probably not. Would you question a...

    Invented A Card Trick

    ...Has anyone ever heard of colour changes done to music? By God, he's a madman!

    Sandwich Routines!

    Well, if you do divert from the fool, just make sure you have a good reason and that it's a deliberate choice. But yeah - that's what I meant. In general, you need to be consistent with such a distinctive character.

    What happened to the battle arena?

    The Battle Arena didn't take off as well as T11 had expected, so they shut down the feature. The forum is still open for anyone who wishes to create a challenge and use it to get feedback.

    Sandwich Routines!

    Ben... Your video was done well. The sleights were pretty good, and so was the presentation. Kind of. Well, I'll be honest. I didn't really buy it. It just doesn't sound right. When I listened to what you were saying, I really liked the presentation. When I listened to you saying it, I didn't...

    Back to the Gaffs

    Well, two comments: a) Sounds like you're having great results with a gaff deck, so it probably wouldn't hurt to keep one nearby when you can (especially if it blends well). b) Also sounds like you need to work on your impromptu stuff. I don't think gaff magic is inherently better or worse -...

    Peek Wallets vs. Impression Devices

    Ugh, sorry. At the time of the previous post, I hadn't slept for 36 hours. My bad, thanks :P

    MENTALISM: Audience Reactions

    It is abundantly clear that you are not and never have been a mentalist. Not a good one, anyway. Oh, one other thing. I laughed when a few posters above said they "did" Psypher. You don't "do" an imp device.

    Peek Wallets vs. Impression Devices

    Well, my last post was a lighthearted attempt at saying, "I'm not convinced" and I was going to leave it there, but since it looks like you've a pretty strong opinion, I'd love to know in what context you think a peek wallet could be appropriately used. I personally can't imagine a situation...

    Peek Wallets vs. Impression Devices

    Ehh... Well, alright... I know I'm a bit militant when it comes to peek wallets, but still :P

    How's my ACR?

    You don't seem to have much sense of rhythm or timing. The thing that brought my attention to this was when you took a break. Be casual about it. Tilt your hand while you do it. The quicker you try and do it, the more obvious it becomes because the eye is developed to catch motion. Also, to...

    product tester needed

    Personally, I think it looks bland and most will have no chance of turning this into an interesting effect. I certainly wasn't interested by the performance in the video. It was performed with the exact lack of personality, drama or flair characteristic of 95% of "performers". Depending on the...

    Cardistry - What's The Point?

    lol. Anyway, RDC - Well, I'm more open to magic being called art. Look at, for example, Teller's Shadows effect, perhaps my favourite effect of all time. Or Derren Brown's Zamiel's Rose, Sean Waters' Mind's Eye, any of Rick Maue's works, or for more magic-related people, guys like Ricky Jay and...

    Cardistry - What's The Point?

    Perhaps the most common argument I've seen against cardistry being an art is that it fails to communicate meaning or emotion. Contrast this against, say, a painting, a play, or a song. With that said, I don't follow the cardistry community a lot, so if someone more in the know than myself could...

    Those reactions, what are those?

    I disagree with pretty much most of what you posted. Mainly the assertion that audiences inherently care about you to begin with. Also because it's based on the faulty premise that people shouting and screaming is the pinnacle of reactions. I can get the same reactions by punching said...

    Coin Waltz by Alex Pandrea

    Well explained, that's exactly what I'm wondering. Uniqueness in and of itself doesn't really mean anything, and certainly doesn't mean improvement. I'm wondering if the people who own this feel that using coins has advantages above and beyond being different, "just because", like what Kevin has...

    Coin Waltz by Alex Pandrea

    Question, out of curiosity: Why would you use this coin version of Anniversary Waltz, as opposed to any of the billion versions already on the market (with cards), apart from "Just because" or "It uses coins"? What sets it apart?

    Peek Wallets vs. Impression Devices

    On Peek Wallets vs. Impression Devices... I go for impression devices hands down. I've never liked peek wallets. I don't care what explanation you have for taking the spectator's business card in your hands and putting it inside your own wallet, but I think that's one of the most absurd things...

    Hands Off

    D ICE R has a great review on these forums. I have it, I like it, but wouldn't use it.
