i see

it must be my severe lack of skills in mentalism which is getting me confused...

i best send back my books by corinder and all the rest...

hmmm...so i take it buying a sven gali deck is the way to go? gah - and I thought i was doing well earning £120 a time for a mixture of magic and mentalism...

gah. obvously not. can i have private tuition please magiccb? I want to be like derren brown!

Yeah they are rubbish. You havent followed the true path of mentalism first you must build your own svenagli deck.

Hey you are also £30 cheaper then me.

I am master of misdirection, look over there.

We are not falling out young Welshy, we are debating, I think farlsy is an idiot he thinks I am one. We are just talking about who is the bigger idiot.

Blapsing_Beard wrote:sven gali deck? what is it anyways?

and magiccb - im sorry for ruining the art. how much will it be for private lessons from you?

but i must know - what is the difference between a stooge and a swami? what - for that matter - is a swami?

can you answer me magiccb?

:lol:


I feel sorry for you now Beard, if you like I can give you lessons. Providing that you learn to repsect the art. In the event that you do you could maybe try E4 on demand they have some great shows with Derren Brown that teach how to become a mentalist.

Also a Stooge is a member of the three stooges and a swami is a record label which is obviously the music you play during performances.

Ha, you have to get up pretty early to catch me out people.

Can anybody please help me? I'm having terrible problems controlling my streetmagic- I can't walk down a street without turning into a pub.

Do you have to take drugs to be a good mentalist, I don't think my mum would approve of that. Is is really worth it?

blapsing beard if you really that good at magic and want some svegali cards go to a little magic shop and ask about card tricks for kids as most childrens toy shops in uk with magic set in stock will have svengali cards in it. look in index, argos woolworths or toys r us.
to be honest if your wanting too learn magic and you dont understand a svengali deck then quit whileyour ahead
