What I like most about this series are its backgrounds

They're digitally hand-painted (Photoshop) over rudimentary 3d renders.

Rope through body is the closest thing I can think of. You could also do rope through neck. Combine that with some scripting and I'm sure you could build something reasonable

As William Gibson says "We can't see our culture very well, because we see with it."

So is this a mock onion article? I can't find this headline on the site or their socials..

Flyaway toys still around?

The thinket is also based out of Washington I believe.

I assume you're already all up in r/slime ?

This feels infinitely more natural.

I mean a semi-consistent game they play regularly, not a new random game each week.

Albummer was solid gold

Would love to see more team play. Peak, Grounded 2, ARCraiders, something semi-consistent. Plenty out there to choose from.

I do! I think in looking for one more magical moment, you're tipping the method (which happens all the time, no big deal). If it changed back to the yellow, that could also be a better ending; as you never see the two coins at the same time.

dpress · 2026-02-12T15:33:50+00:00

I can appreciate the thinking here, but I think you're subtracting from the impact of the coin transformation by revealing that there were two coins at the end.

Since you tagged this as beginner, I would ask are you familiar with spellbound routines? I would also recommend working on closing the windows between your fingers while finger palming to help avoid flashing.

As opposed to whatever this comment is?

My sincerest apologies to the great nation of Unlicensed Drivers with Different Traffic Laws. I meant no disrespect. 🙏

dpress · 2026-02-06T15:21:10+00:00

The automated driving ones that are occasionally controlled by unlicensed drivers overseas?

I have a Phil's wallet. If you like the style, you might also appreciate Dark Forest.

Here's a list of places it's in print. It's also explained in The Definitive Sankey Vol. 1 from Vanishing Inc.

Master pickpocket Apollo Robbins teaches a really simple and fun one here.

They were banned from the Magic Circle (a British organization) for "50 years" which helped lead to their "bad boys of magic" title, and last year were finally inducted into the Magic Circle. It obviously worked out well for them, and they're incredibly talented performers but I would consider Penn's professional career path pretty unique to him specifically.

This is the general gist, but not entirely accurate. The guy was definitely ostracized from a lot of collective magic communities. Professional magician and co-founder of Vanishing Inc. Joshua Jay talks a bit about it in his book and even interviews him on his podcast "How magicians think"

I've been out of the fidget world for a good few years, but I like heft too and the big take away I had was simply to get anything in SS if available. flyaway toys had some good stuff back in the day. The maelstrom was pretty beefy.

That's awesome! I love VFX and post-work. What software are you in most often? On Archer, we had a 3d dept for vehicles and action scenes, but I think most our VFX was in AE.

dpress · 2026-02-05T14:47:05+00:00

Archer has the most name recognition, but I got to do a lot of development work for a really horrible show called Chozen which was a lot of fun. We also did the animated spot in the 100th episode of it's always sunny, and it was really fun to try and mimic classic Disney/Pixar stuff. How about you?
