The Genii Forum

I'm assuming you changed something, since I can now see Edit and Quote buttons!

I appreciate the effort Brad.

Richard, for some users there IS no reply button. See my screenshots above.

Do you need anything else from me on this, or are your techno-wizards examining it already?

No quote for me either, is that also supposed to be there? I just assumed it wasn't activated on this forum.

I hope this isn't a British thing...

What is interesting is that if I dig in the webpage source code I can see a link for composing a reply, it just seems that there is no click-able button for that link. If I manually edit the browser URL , pointing it to the link I would go to if there was a button to click then I can compose and sen...

Here is what I see, the button is missing. I thought that maybe it was one of my Firefox extentions blocking it somehow, so I also tried in Chrome with the same result.

Hmm, that's odd. I'll double check when back on my pc.

There doesnt seem to be any way to Reply to a Private Message that has been received.

There is no button on the message screen, and if I try to reply using the Tapatalk app it allows me to type the reply, but errors when trying to send suggesting the user does not exist.

An incredible performance, NPH is really at the top of his game at the moment

Ah, you've just given away the method!

Get a round mailing tube, put a full deck in it, run over it with a steamroller. You can now pull out any card from a flat envelope!

I just picked this up yesterday, it's very clever and hugely customisable.

You can also email a PDF to your @kindle.com address with the word 'convert' in the subject line and Amazon will have a go at converting it for you. I've had mixed results... The only place I can comfortably read a PDF without conversion is on my main PC screen, and I sit at that for long enough any...

Thanks Denis,

I'll take another look at them.

My interest in the faro was piqued by John Bannons effect Dawn Patrol. For those unfamiliar it uses a perfect straddle faro of 26 cards into 27 to place a selection between two previously placed face up cards (and is really rather fantastic) The maths of faro shuffles make my brain melt, but it seem...

That secret was being guarded a little too closely.

Good lord, I thought that was just me! If I cut them so they look the same size the right hand packet /always/ has more cards.

Back to answer my own question. Yes, in either version you can have people swap the same number of pieces with each other.

The maths of this one does my head in.

Is it true that in either version, either with or without the "Take 0,1,2,3 cards, throw them away ( and then do the 7 card displacement) can you still have people exchange card pieces with each other ( as long as the trade is even?)

Well, I received an email for that reply.... Things are looking up! The move as I know is is where you get 4 cards outjogged as selections, and during that you get a break above the lower 4 cards. These are the cards to be switched in. The 4 selections are angle jogged to the left slightly and the d...

Oh my, I just read this thread, thinking it was an interesting question, only to find that it was originally posted by myself! I didn't mean to ignore everyone who replied, I didnt receive any kind of email notification that a reply had been made (I thought I was supposed to..) At this stage I canno...

Dead Reckoning by John Bannon doesn't require a faro, but Dawn Patrol does.

Evening Genii-ites,

Please forgive this quick card sleight question.

What's the difference between the Derek Dingle no-lap switch and Vernons substitute transfer?

I have a few tricks that teach each move, but they both seem the same to me.
