Seldom these days do I go look at stuff on youtube. And the following is the reason why. And to quote a bumper sticker I saw, "the more people I meet, the more I love my dog"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DlIyeGOa ... re=related

My reason to go was because MARVOMARKY put out a link for Kam doing the ambitious card which I have not seen and I really liked it, so I figured I keep snooping around. Think I'm going to stay away from youtube for awhile because it just plain hurts.

I am sure glad he explained how he did that - so many slick moves.

What a novel way of getting the top two cards to the bottom of the deck - I wonder if anyone will catch on?

My god...I think you have discovered perhaps the worst magician I've ever seen...and he's making video tutorials!
For once youtube exposure is doing us all a favour...making everyone else look amazing.
Have you seen his 'really cool false shuffle' clip. :shock:

sigh. I know I should remove the link. But if I had to suffer through it why shouldn't everybody? So I just can't bring myself to do it.

It says 'invalid parameters' when I try that link.

Shame, I was looking forward to a good laugh...

The day I've had, it was quite refreshing to actually see someone who handles cards worse than myself ;)

Now... I know I'm a bit O.C.D. when it comes to new cards... I generally don't use a deck for more than an hour before opening a new one... but blimey, I'd gladly send this dude a free supply.

It pains me to see this.

It really does.

It's the same cringe, grating feeling I get as watching someone drop a wet car sponge in gravel and carry on washing the car with it.

Damn, I'm a miserable old b'tard sometimes.

HEY! Whadda ya mean, sometimes?

Copy and pasted and it worked.

I like the way he has the words "cool" and "awesome" in the tags for this vid.

He's great. Fab camera angles and his teaching it top notch and clear.
I can't wait to be out there blowing them away with this.

Why put it on youtube for free? He could make a fortune with a DVD of this and also teaching his superb presentational skills. He creates wonder before he's even completed the trick.

This is even more amazing. His t-shirt is grubbier than his cards.

Is that blood or $hit on it?

Can't you tell - it's stigmata my friend!

Truly awesome presentation skills and I'm sure Brad Christian is chuffed to bits that he could remember (with a little help of course) the whole 'E' catalogue. What a plug!

Oh for the love of mike. I hope its blood and it better be his own. Now I stupidly clicked on his thingy and he's got tones of them. I will not watch. I will not watch. Going to find a scissors so I can purge myself of my eyes!

The smell of the faeces on his t-shirt made the card curl up!!!

Seriously, kids like this give magic a very bad name. Tatty cards, awful presentation, fumbly movements and keen to expose their meagre talents. They always seem to use naff heavy metal music or rap too.

Lovely!!
