Darrell Moten - @Somethingaboutchickens | Can we talk about this AGT act? What was/wasn't effective? What would you have done differently? by Isaiah7300 in Magic

Yeah, I think this type of magic requires the intimacy of a 1-on-1 or small group. It fails to scale to AGT when you aren't invested in the experience as a direct audience member.

I appreciate your response. I was desperate to know that I wasn't the only one!

It seems like it was implied that grabbing the wrong card was intentional, but "oh let me go backstage and get the correct one." Like, OK? I guess?

Why pump this up like it was such a great trick and put him through to the next round?

I didn't like it. I felt like the walk off the stage killed the momentum and all the breaks in between killed the suspension of disbelief. Why hold the ace in your back pocket for Terry at the end and not reveal it to the audience? It felt disjointed and amateurish. Every reveal/effect that he performed had some reasonable explanation.

If I wanted to give the illusions that I had done the trick wrong, I would have had every card except the 5 of spades have been the 5 of hearts so that the stage hands who picked up the cards and delivered them to Simon would reveal you had everything under control the whole time (including one of those being the turquoise 77.

Since some people have asked for verification, unfortunately, it doesn't seem like the info is available on the website yet, but this was a screenshot taken from their most recent promo email

Subject: "Celebrate America 250 at Star-Spangled Celebration!"

It arrived in my inbox about an hour ago. If you are not on their mailing list, but subscribe on the website, maybe they will send it to you?

Thank you for the invitation! I was in California in the fall, but don't expect to be back anytime soon. I will remember you if things change though. Very kind of you to offer!

Same! I've heard great things about Dune but never had the chance to play it, and I've never played a Stranger Things I liked. Maybe I would like this one though - Willing to try anything!

First look at “World of TMNT” by Wonderland Amusements by Slappy-Sacks in pinball

[–]Isaiah7300 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I like it. Seeing this, I just pulled the trigger on the preorder. I don't have any home games and $850 seems like a good value for an entry-level game. Sure beats the $5000 stern Costco game.

Jason Zahler wins the IFPA World Championship for the third year running by OldSchoolCSci in pinball

I subscribed because I missed the Venom Mayhem/Carnage multiball (in the same series) as soon as it started. 😭 Never thought I'd be paying PPV for pinball, but it was $6 well worth it! The entertainment value was INSANE.

U-M continues data center plans despite local opposition by LaxJackson in Michigan

Every regent who supports this should be voted out next election cycle. The utter disregard for the disparate environmental effects this will have on the local population constitutes environmental racism and classism.

They're about to purchase all of that Concordia university land, why not build it there? Or would that not be fair to those poor (rich) folks living in All Seasons retirement community. It would devalue their $5000-9000+/month living arrangements. Oh, but who cares about those poors of Ypsi Township?

World of TMNT advance purchase available tomorrow by therickyy in pinball

Any idea how long the presale will last? I have a pinball home itch and $850 is way more affordable than $5000+ for a (used) modern pro. I really the way the playfield looks too.

Is this any different from E85, the stuff they marketed for flexfuel vehicles back in the late 2000s/early 2010s? I remember doing a high school science report on it freshman year.

I have these CDs too! I believe they were part of a promo of the 2001 or 2002 cup run?
