The Genii Forum

Don

i almost laughed. :D

Don

just curious to what people thaought about this book. :genii:

Don

what are some benefits of subscribing to TSD?

Don

what is the Second Deal as far as the on-line magic subscription? sounds interesting to me. :genii:

Don

regaurdless of what anyone thinks, i still found some good stuff which utilizes the second deal. all thanks to the replys so many of you have posted. so thanks again. however, i do agree with jason. i understand that the second deal takes a considerable amount of time to "master." for me i...

Don

i disagree pete. why not learn both? they are both good to learn. doing the tabled faro might not be practical in some scenarios. you shouldnt limit yourself to only doing the tabled faro. i think tabled faros are definately good for gambling stuff, but for other effects i dont think it is necessary...

Don

absolutely right. it helps out tremendously in controling an in or out faro.

marlo explains it in his faro chapter and ackerman does as well in his faro dvd.

Don

i saw mahommad ali at Hollywood Magic during the holidays. he was looking to buy a few tricks. the magicians working there were having a great time showing him some tricks. i left before he did so i dont know what he bought but, from what i hear he has been into magic for quite some time now. :genii:

Don

yes, its in Darwin Ortiz at the Card Table.

Don

i havent seen all of the performers listed, but i will say that andrew goldenhersh is a great magician and showman.

Don

mrmagik, you may find this interesting. im the type of guy who likes to learn sleights first, and then find tricks that utilize the sleight i learned. i dont know why, but i do that quite a lot. i learned the faro shuffle when i was in the 11th grade i think. i learned this wonderful sleight literal...

Don

sent you the address.

thanks

Don

hey steven, i would like it shipped to a different address if its not too late. if you already shipped it dont worry about it, i will still get it. if its not too late just e mail me at <a href="mailto:pyned001@hawaii.rr.com">pyned001@hawaii.rr.com</a> so i can give u my address....

Don

well i just ordered it. im looking forward to recieving it. how long should it take to arrive?

Don

im curious. what was he talking about? sounds interesting.

Don

i agree with Richard that the cards turning blank is bad magic. however, if you have a good reason for the cards turning blank, and you convey this thru your patter, it could work.

Don

now that i know how its done i like it even more. thank you Tivoli.

Don

i hear what your saying Steven but im trying to get over a dirty little habit of mine. when i see a book that i really want, but dont need at the time, i'll just buy it anyway. so in an attempt to save money, i might hold off (for like a week or so ;) )

Don

how long is hacking the pass going to be available? is it one of those things that needs to be bought before they run out, or is it something you can get whenever you are ready to learn the pass?

Thank you.

Don

maybe the effects in the video just need a better performer. in my opinion he doesnt do a good job at making the effects look magical. i mean why does the deck go to new deck order in his triumph routine? he gives no logical reason for that to happen. his moves look like what they are, moves. in the...

Don

wow, asking for that on the genii forum?

Don

That was very nice indeed. Great job!

Don

i am selling Marlo Without Tears. Its literally brand new from the store. im selling it for 50 bucks. if your interested let me know and i will contact you.

Don

I have heard from many different people that penguine magic is a really bad place to buy products. I have never had any intentions of buying anything from them, but i am curious as to why they might be a bad company.

Don

well said!

Don

not to good.

Don

i was back home for the holidays and had plenty of time to go to the castle library. i found a lot of great stuff which utilize the second deal. thanks to all of your replys.

thank you

Don

i actually found the expert at the card table for five bucks. the bottom palm in it is very nice indeed. thanks richard.

Don

Marlo without tears. Literally brand new. $50

Don

one more question before i shut up and listen to the advice. how close were your spectators when you were using the cop?

Don

thanks for the input, you guys are great!

Don

my inexperience with palming may be getting the best of me, but i cant help to think that if people are real close to me, they will see the card.

Don

i have so many methods of the bottom palm in my books but they are all action palms. i need a good bottom palm that i can use when the deck is in my left hand dealing position. the routine i want to do uses the bottom palm to palm off the card before i hand the deck out for shuffling. the routine sa...

Don

are all of these stacks as easy to set up as the si stebbens stack using ortiz's si stebbens secret?

Don

i do close up magic but am looking for a really clean production of a glass full of liquid that i can pull right out of my sleeve when i take my coat off. i dont do anything but cards so i could use some assistants in this.

Thank you in advance

Don

not trying to sound arrogant or conceited, i truly believe it depends on pure practice to get a perfect faro any time you want with any deck in somewhat decent condition. Just practice and you will get it each and every time.

Don

Hey Sam. The Revolutionary Card Technique book is great. However it doesn't cover many tricks at all. It deals mostly with very awesome sleights. You won't find many tricks in the book but rather an arsenal of card sleights that will help you for years. I highly recommend this book. MINT Vol. 1 is a...

Don

oops, i mean E S Andrews.

Don

Todd, that was very, very interesting to read. Great research, it sounds a lot like it actually could be S W Andrews.

Gook luck.

Don

This is an excellent book for the card magician. It has some excellent routines and sleights from the creative mind of Ed Marlo.

The book is literally brand new with no discrepancies. The price is $50.00. Don't worry about shipping if in the U.S.

You can e-mail me for more info.

Thank you.
