First and foremost, I think you should cut the "stupid/silly gimmick" stuff. Just because you think you know how something is done, doesn't mean it's suddenly a worthless piece of garbage. Someone (in this case, Jay Noblezada) went through a great deal of work to come up with an effect that they are proud of. Just because the props used may be simplistic, doesn't take away from the hard work and creativity that went into making it.
So you figured out how to do it? Good for you. Now tell me, with 100% honesty that you could have INVENTED it. Tell me without lying that you had thought of this EXACT effect before Jay did. It's easy to cast it off as simplistic, when you know what is going on behind the scenes. But, could you have come up with your method without seeing that one first? Perhaps, but I'm going to say probably not.
Bear that in mind the next time you want to s*** on someone else's work. Why don't you do as others have asked and post a video of your method. Go ahead, and then allow me the honor of calling it s***, saying it's a stupid, silly gimmick, going on at great length about how much you suck, and how selling that would be a waste of my money. I'm pretty sure you wouldn't take that kind of criticism too well.
What makes it stupid, is your own opinion. If a spectator doesn't see the gimmick, he doesn't know there is one. You think it's stupid because you know it's there. It's exactly the same kind of thinking that made me leave my vernet tt on the shelf. "I can see it, so will everyone else". You think it's stupid, so you feel everyone else should think that way, too.
If you don't like the effect - FINE. Tell us you don't like it. Tell us it's not your style. But don't you DARE speak of something as stupid and worthless, and get your dander up when others step forth in an attempt to stop you from braying like a jackass.
As for what the purpose of this forum is - you've already shown that you have no clue. Magic isn't just about getting together and swapping information. We don't condone that, because we respect the men and women who are devoted, creative, inventive, and passionate about the craft of magic. Those who have put a great deal of effort into making something that the rest of us can purchase and use to amaze our own audiences.
We come here to talk to each other about magic - what it means to us, what we're doing with it in our lives. And yes, in some cases we discuss methods, handlings and inventions - but we do so behind closed doors. You said yourself, you meet with other magicians and swap secrets. Do you just pull random people off the streets and tell them how to do an ambitious card routine?
If you're going to stick around here, please bear these things in mind. If this was your invention, I'm sure you'd want people to be respectful when speaking of it. As well, you wouldn't want the method behind it to be publicly available. All we ask is that you give that same respect and consideration to others.
First of all, Im on a "talkMagic" Board... which says
"a great place for magicians to chat!"
2nd.. this part of the board is called
"Support & Tips"
3rd, given 1&2 am i wrong to assume that
this is a place where i could talk to magicians about
tips and ask for support on my personal take on a tricks?
finally i never "bashed" his trick\gimmic or name called
him as you just did to me (how old are you, 12?)
but i did say i felt this simple trick is
NOT WORTH $20 USD
(Easy to master Card miracles is $30 a DVD thats well worth your mony)
and im sure any magician who watched it
was able to figure it out.
i created this topic to see
to see if we can add on to this simple trick to
make it better. asking for any tips or support
(at least, MY version of this trick)
!
