No, I think he was just pleased to see you...

I think it was a bit of both to be honest.... My relic was definately dangling

... well, can I just say, I learned the effect 'tacless' in 13 seconds flat, and performed it last night to a crowd at Wembley stadium.

After-show comments (which were all negative) included...

1. From the back row, couldn't see the coin. Perhaps consider using a hot coal or something which glows.

2. There was a loud clinking sound (but that's possibly more to do with people throwing their old pants at me)

3. During the clean-up of the routine, it was noticed by one of the camera men that I had in fact simply concealed the coin into my overgrown thumbnail (as-per instructions). Is there a way around this?

Overall, I find tacless to be a somewhat hit and miss affair. I will certainly not be recommending it.

If anyone has a pre-pre-pre-pre-pre-pre release review copy and need the missing segments, please search on Google and find the original sources I ripped them off from. It's all there.

And my new effect 'Harley' is not a rip-off of 'Triumph'....

Seige...

This effect has been reviewed EXTENSIVELY on a popular forum, which has a super-lushious green and black colour scheme.

ID's Tacful has received glowing reviews, all 2 of which convey amazed awe - so you are very clearly wrong in your assessment.

And so's your Mum

Yes it has.. and think it not important that the 2 people that review it were my brother and I.. nonetheless, a good review is a good review and credit where credit is due.. im a fire starter.. er, I mean 'prodigy'

Now look... I may be a fellow Brummie, and share your love of magic... but just a minute mate...

There's no need to bring your hobby as an arsonist to the board.

Consider this your first official strike.

2 more, and you are banned from the forum.

(now, do the decent thing and tell us you're not going to post for a whole week... )

This has nothing to do with you, Im just having a lark

I emailed you day before yesterday about a method I came up with for this effect and it wouldnt have come about if I hadnt seen your idea. So pat yourself on th back for that mate.

Im just joksing around with the parody to make it a little more interesting, theres is no making fun going on here, join in.. you gotta admit.. my handlings pretty good eh? Busta Ryhmes said my effect is 'dope' so I assume thats a good thing!!

It is very good, and I apologize for that. Thank you, I.D.

In local language Michael, we're just 'aving' a bit of a larff 'ere mate !

Commonly known as satire. Nothing wrong with it. It's actually quite flattering.

flattering?

So Im actually doing him a favour??

oh well, Mike.. I guess you had some sort of positive impact by influencing me to go out and buy Tics Tacs for the first time in at least 14 years!!

Yeah, me too. I forgot how nasty they were, and had flashbacks of my kid bro nearly prematurely expiring by choking on them!

Ahhh, sweet memories...
