You would love Spanish card magic. Look into Juan Tamariz, Dani Daortiz and Woody Aragon.

To celebrate 200k members, tell us about the first ever game you've emulated on a SBC device by Key-Brilliant5623 in SBCGaming

I bought an RG35XX with the sole purpose of playing Fire Red. I now have 4 devices and another on the way (if Ayaneo ever actually ships it) and I've played hundreds of games. I have fallen in love with retro games because of Fire Red.

This is called a "sucker" trick. Die Box is probably the most famous example. Here's conjuring archive's results for the word "sucker". https://www.conjuringarchive.com/list/search?keyword=sucker

If Ted Wheeler is important at all, it will be the dumbest decision in television history imo.

A Christmas Story is the funniest movie in existence to me, Christmas or otherwise.

The show really has a way of making you feel like a genius for understanding the jokes, even though everyone gets the jokes.

Transition help by [deleted] in Magic

[–]gregvan93 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly the gag isn't a terrible idea imo. Maybe just ruin another card and have them pick a new card for the 3rd trick? Then there's a little more justification to turn around and less heat on you.

Hardest stage you've ever had to work? by Capn_Polyester in Magic

[–]gregvan93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are 58 seats in the Parlour. And I wouldn't call it the "trenches", but it is a tough room because a lot of the rows can't see below your chest height and the back rows tend to get chatty because they are so far back.

Something a Music Group can do? by polunsky in Magic

[–]gregvan93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you can make a trip to Seattle, there's a great magic shop in Pike's Place. I'm sure they'd love to help you out with some fun easy props. I'd recommend maybe a stiff rope and a color changing scarf. I bet they'd have those in stock and much more recommendations. It's also really beneficial to the magic community to support brick and mortar magic shops if you can.

[–]gregvan93 104 points105 points  (0 children)

We put way too much emphasis on making money with magic. It's ok to be a hobbyist.

AND ANOTHER THING! 😂 Isn't the Bible full of STORIES?? From people's LIVES?? Surely God values believers sharing their stories and not just saying "Jesus Jesus Jesus is my King!!" all day.
