    Europeans: Rider vs Mandolin

    Here is a quick link if you are still worried about it: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Bicycle-Poker-Standard-Playing-Players/dp/B001AMO8A0/ref=sr_1_15?ie=UTF8&qid=1325623100&sr=8-15 Personally, I think that you should have an easy time finding Riders for some time. But I have been wrong before.

    Criticism

    Just real quickly, this thread was more to the effect of criticizing in front of others, especially without the other person present. The constructively criticize is a whole different matter which could fill pages. But this was in light of speaking negatively of other performing magicians...

    Wanting something new... but what?

    If you are wanting to stick with cards and stay on an inexpensive scale (meaning about ten bucks) I would go with Royal Road to Card Magic. If that is too beginner for you there is also Expert Card Technique. Jason England has a FREE video download on the books he recommends with cards and...

    Criticism

    I was watching Michael Ammar's Introduction to Coin Magic once again to see what little bits of wisdom I could pull from this genius and I was really interested in the last bits of information he gave to starting magicians. One of the things that he said was in regard to criticizing other...

    "75% of performances are poor...." -- Fitzkee

    I am not sure that I fully agree with you here, Reality. The truth is, a good kid's show (in any other form of entertainment) would never, ever work for adults nine times out of ten. This also applies vice versa because we have different trains of thoughts on what is entertaining and what is...

    "75% of performances are poor...." -- Fitzkee

    My statement was merely to say that magic is way harder than any other art form that I have ever tried to do. The amount of time and energy that I have put into this art is no where near the time I have spent as a guitarist, and I would have to say that my guitar skills are still better. (Side...

    "75% of performances are poor...." -- Fitzkee

    Nothing that I said was meant as a cheap shot, though I apologize if it came off like that. One of the things that is missed in these forms in the tone that I use, and I am sure if you would have heard me say that, you wouldn't have thought that.

    "75% of performances are poor...." -- Fitzkee

    Eostresh, the reason why this idea is hit on so much is because you really have to read the whole book to see what Fitzkee means. It is easy to take his theory and bash it, when you don't know the who theory. Even in the Foreward, it mentions this. Read the book, that is all I am saying, and...

    "75% of performances are poor...." -- Fitzkee

    I understand that Fitzkee trilogy is commonly debated, but I see the truth of it everyday. Draven (good to see you again, sorry I have been absent for so long), you bring up a good point, where do we cross the line? Fitzkee mentions that we should avoid crossing into things that are crass...

    "75% of performances are poor...." -- Fitzkee

    Granted, some people will enjoy different forms of entertain more than others. But Fitzkee clearly compares other forms of entertainment with magic to demonstrate what they are doing and we are leaving behind. He makes it clear that if we were to adapt to the changing times and incorporate the...

    "75% of performances are poor...." -- Fitzkee

    Heck, screw stacking the deck. You get the average Joe Schmoe from your high school talent show doing an acoustic routine or a band from most battle of the bands, and they will create a greater desire for what ever art they are doing than MOST magicians these days. Derren Brown and Greg Wilson...

    "75% of performances are poor...." -- Fitzkee

    I just finished this book about a month ago, and I am seeing more and more things to prove this statistic that Fitzkee brings forth. There are to many magicians out there who become magicians for magicians. They seek to entertain those who are in the trade and it really shows. Here is a test...

    EMC shipping DVD's to Retailers

    I am going to agree with one point that Sam Hindrichs said: They said these would be out by the end of 2010. It is March of 2011, and I am still waiting on my DVDs. The fact they are online is great, but I signed up for the DVD copies a year ago. I could careless that others have access to...

    I want to quit!

    I know where you are coming from... There are too many critics out there who think they can do it better. It just comes with the game, one of those things that you have to learn is to filter out the bad, and go for the good. Sorry that people upset you, oh and to give you heads up, someone...

    TA vs. The Art of Astonishment

    Honestly, when I was stoked when I got TA, but now that I look back on it, I feel that there could have been more. For as much money as I dropped on it, I think TA is just "eh." It isn't bad, but it isn't great either.

    Fire tricks

    Check out David Stone's Real Secrets of Magic Volume 1 and Volume 2. He doesn't go directly into how to do it, but if you piece together some of the things he teaches in this one you can figure it out.
