Re: Thomas Pohle is the thief

So there is a video as well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-RYrBxIK-tg The video was uploaded in May, while Collin showed his version half a year earlier. TPs version is almost identical to Collins original, but he did of course use different materials, and he also didn't use the original Tenyo pr...

Re: Sad News About Our Friend Mr. Wizard/Richard W.

I did know he was suffering from ALS, and that it was difficult for him to physically write, and consequently it took him quite a bit of time to post anything. Now he struggles no more.

Rest in piece, Richard.

Shout out to my dear friend Richard, now in heaven watching Penn and Teller Fool Us and Telling Magic Jokes.
That is sad news indeed! I knew he was ill, and that his remaining time was limited, but it is still a shock.

Rest in piece, Richard.

Not surprised by this. TP has done this before, also with one of my creations…

Re: Thomas Pohle is the thief

Ah, so Pohle actually made the full trick (with CollinWs concept idea), not just an addon to the Tenyo version. In that case, it is even worse in my opinion. Tenyo might see it as different enough to not care, though.

Is there a video as well?

Re: Thomas Pohle is the thief

What? I haven't seen that, but I guess that Pohle made his version using other techniques than 3D-printing? Since you did not release the files (AFAIK), this version must be a conceptual/visual copy of your work/idea, and not an exact copy, right? Unfortunately, I don't think there is much you can d...

Re: On Edge by Angelo Carbone

I agree it looks good, but I fear it will be perhaps too expensive for what it is. And also, some of the performances I have seen clearly gives away parts of the secret, so care must be taken to try to avoid that. That said, I still don't understand what keeps the balance of the final castle. I have...

That's a good tip, Olaf! I received mine yesterday, and I have been playing a bit with it. While the method is what I had expected, there is more to it than I would have guessed, and I will say it is quite clever. The blade handle on mine came loose as I took it out of the plastic bag, and doesn't a...

Re: Demi Deck

For the first time I've actually fallen prey of the hype and ordered this trick. Angelo Carbone does have a proven track record as a magic creator, and even if it is pretty obvious what is generally going on (not the exact technical execution), I think this looks nice. And he does claim that the ang...

Re: Card Discovery

Nice trick! Is it your own creation, or does it use some additional hardware (I take it the phone was just a visual prop with a static image displayed). Could the deck be shuffled by the spectator?

The working principle is very obvious to me, but as I said, his handling is clever, and I haven't completely figured that out yet.

Yes this is very suitable for Øyvind and Collin to make a nice 3D printed version. Guys, time to warm up your printers :) Creating the props for this is pretty easy, the challenge is the performance.

I also saw this the other day, and I do see how it's done, but it is a good trick. I think I'll do my own version of this, since it is so simple, but yet effective.

I performed this last night, and I partly failed. I did it twice, using two different methods, but the first one failed.

Could be that as well, of course. No matter what, he cheated to make it look better, and I don't like that. It's the same with the performance at the french shop La-Petite-Boutique where Olaf bought his. He also staged it to avoid doing the move at all. I also think his props are way too sharp, some...

Re: Master of Chance by Lubor Fiedler

In my case, the top and bottom surfaces are slightly different, but I don't think that really matters here. The tricky part is to do the move, and to do it more than once without raising too much suspicion. After all, there isn't really any justification for why the performer should need to lift the...
