a comment was made to me on facebook......

Dale- I don't like using misdirection on certain things. I feel it's a poor excuse for sloppy performances.

I mean seriously........W.T.F?

words fail me sometimes.

the kid was worried about his pass.

Did you recomend that maybe he take up a new hobby then?

by **me_simon** » Aug 16th, '11, 22:25

When he's palming does he announce it?!

by **hds02115** » Aug 16th, '11, 22:40

I'm sure he's the type of guy that say things like "Here is a normal deck of cards", "A regular coin" ect....

by **dat8962** » Aug 16th, '11, 23:20

I bet he uses Ellusionist decks - probably Ghosts or Arcanes :lol:

lord knows.. i couldnt bring myself to reply to the kid. I just wish Mike Vincent saw it. Im sure he would have a few things to say to him.
:lol:

Guess he expects spontaneous audience applause for his incredible proficiency with each sleight... "Thank you, yes, that was The Pass".

The more I perform the more I learn that I'm wasting my time perfecting sleights when misdirection can be used.It's not really possible to practice it apart from timing maybe but my word its definetly our most powerful tool

That is unbelievable Dale! Speechless!

by **russpie** » Aug 17th, '11, 08:36

That's like saying I don't use anesthetic when I'm operating.

I think more people need to follow his advice. It'll make my sloppy sleights appear much better to the audience.

by **sleightlycrazy** » Aug 17th, '11, 08:43

To be fair to the kid, it worked for Jerry Andrus...

Come on guys - are you really ridiculing a kid over something he said on Facebook? Dale, you should be ashamed.

By the sounds of it he is early on in his magical education. Do we ridicule kids at school because they don't know about evolution, or the ins and outs of protons and neutrons? Do we ridicule kids who have their own ideas about how gravity works, or where baby comes from? No, because they are still learning.

Let him make his mistakes, by all means give him advice. But should he refuse to accept it the first thing you do shouldn't be to slander him in a place where he can't even defend himself.

It was you that said it wasn't it?

Go on admit it......
