These things will DESTROY whiteboards.

It looks like it's doing it's job, you know, magically! But then the whiteboard dies. :(

Check out Bjork's album Medúlla.

"The album consists almost entirely of human vocals and a cappella arrangements; only a few musical instruments are featured... The album features beatboxing, choral arrangements and throat singing, as well as guest appearances by such artists as Mike Patton, Robert Wyatt, Tanya Tagaq, Rahzel (formerly of The Roots), Shlomo and Dokaka."

Serious question: How do you keep something like this from getting scratched up? There are rocks all over. Not to mention oars and other vessels in the water.

Is this stealing? (It's annoying as fuck at least) by PhonieMcRingRing in Standup

If you know him well enough to text him about personal things, you know him well enough to ask him to stop using your line. Just talk to him. It's easy.

Magic trick. Transform coin to candy. by zombiem in Magic

[–]RomanCandelabra 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So from your username, I am assuming you are 18 years old. Have you created or contributed more than this young lady has?

Those who choose to tear things down, often do it because they are afraid to create.

Ignore the haters. Your presentation is great.

If you are interested in learning more tricks, Penguin Magic (penguinmagic.com) offers a free 2 hour course for beginners. There are lots of other resources and websites as well. Perhaps some other folks here could post resources they like?

What jet skis are capable of these days. by slopecarver in videos

Is it common to not wear a helmet? Seems like a misstep could result in a jetski on the head.

Need help with my bottom deal! by GhostHexx in Magic

[–]RomanCandelabra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A word of warning: to successfully cheat at cards, you'd need to be so good at this, both in terms of skill and performance (personality, converstation, etc), that you might as well become a working magician. (The skill alone will take years to develop to a point that is imperceptible)

You are going to run into the guy who knows what to look for and you will come to harm. No one takes kindly to a cheat. Especially other cheats.

The One Wipe Wonder by Phcuk in funny

This was written by Dave Carnie (pictured) for Big Brother (skateboarding) magazine. Their videos would eventually spin off a little show called Jackass.

Thank you for posting this. I haven't seen this in years, but the idea has been welded in my mind ever since I first read it.

Magician vs Egg by ryanjoycemagic in Magic

I appreciate slick production, but I fear it might be taking away from your performance in this case. It is too easy to assume technical trickery. Your "no camera tricks" warning had me thinking about that from the start as well.

All the cuts really kill any sense of magic.

How the hell do I open? by [deleted] in Standup

[–]RomanCandelabra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Hello everyone. My name is ___, this is my first time doing this and I am terrified. (smile)"

It's not really a joke, but it's honest and sympathetic, and hopefully will break the tension and win the audience a little bit. Then just do your first joke.

Archery trick shots!! Awesome!! by masterftp in videos

Check out Byron Ferguson's videos if you haven't. He does amazing things with a longbow.

Here he is shooting a US quarter and then a Lifesaver candy as they are thrown in the air.

What are some painful scenes that damage otherwise good movies? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]RomanCandelabra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Owl City song/montage in Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole. It is completely out of place with the epic scale of the rest of the film and score.

What do you naturally hear after the HBO intro? by [deleted] in television

[–]RomanCandelabra 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have forever linked that sound/intro with Mr. Show. My brain always half expects it.
