I respectfully disagree.

I love magic forums, I spent a lot of time actively posting. However this forum in particular has always been the same, hence the fact I rarely post here.

It seems that too much time is spent trying to figure out how certain effects are performed and then moaning about them and not enough time is being spent actively contributing useful content.

I've said my bit, I'm not here to steal anyones rattle.

You mean the way we don't appreciate discourteous posts? How right you are!

We've already twice acknowledged that you had a valid point and it was the inappropriate and disrespectful comments which are simply not accurate or acceptable which cause us to take issue. If you've said your bit then all well and good, we'll move on and do what we can to maintain the high standards of TM.

Errmm ... isn't this known as exposure ??
I thought we, at TM, didn't condone such acts of exposure (especially if it's indecent - which this appears to be to me )

You know what Gary if you look over the threads in this forum you will see that there are very few if any talking about "lets figure out how this is done" and you will see that the people who do figure out the trick respect the creators of the trick by not telling everyone how it is done. There is no harm in figuring out a trick, it can even be beneficial as it will give you insight as to what a spectator will see and what it was that gave the trick away, hence potentially improving it.

I love this trick. I think that it is well worth the money. Dont think so much about the method. Rather think of the reaction of a spectator. Remember back to the first time you saw a spoon bend. I was bewildered. If you do some spoon bending and establish yourself than do the card bend it is very beliveable. Also does anyone know what the music is they use on the demo.

Not the right place to do that...

You will be eliminated...

whats that supposed to mean?! i was just wondering how it was done and if they wanted to trade tricks. dont take it so harsh.

I was kinda kiddin' but I guess you got the point

maybe if you actually read the forum rules when you signed up to the site youd realise that dvds or videos cannot be traded on the site and any further attempts to do so may find you removed from the forum

i see i see. well i havent been on much as u can probably tell. sorry!! i was just wondering. do you guess do magic as your hobby or do you have gigs or shows etc ? ?

do you guys****

Some here are full time working professionals
Some do magic professionally on one form or another, but also have a day job
Some are hobbiests.

But all of us love magic...

while not saying anything to give the 'trick' away,

i will say experimentation, a bit of smarts, and absolutely NO sleight of hand are required to perform this feat.

dont know how far i can go with this, but watch the video VERY carefully, he is a bit clumsy, and camera 'zoom' tricks are ugly.

i performed this for my family and they were blown away. hehe

good luck all, and i know your salivating to pm me, but i probably wont give it away. bya

I too love the effect it is a great trick and the instructional video that comes with it is wonderfull.

Guessing how a trick is done is fine we all do that but performing a trick that you have not paid for is not right as they have invented the trick and deserve to be paid.

The reason I bought this trick is that as soon as I saw it I knew I would perform it and gosh does it go down well
