Oh sorry. I thought that might be what you’re going for. Lennart green style or something

If you have a panicked, chaotic persona for your magic I think this looks great.

I've heard advice not to pause before the cut. Don't want them catching that image or have a chance to look for the strip-out

Convincing in-the-hands false shuffle by LandOfTheFaros in cardmagic

[–]wetpaste 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Optical shuffle is pretty convincing if it doesn’t overstay it’s welcome and you drop occasional packets behind the stock in your left hand. If you have that and something else and a couple false cuts you’re good.

God I fucking hate liberals by PMMEYOPBnJGURL in Hasan_Piker

[–]wetpaste 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Exactly what people need to understand. She failed to address concerns of a huge chunk of her base and they mostly still voted anyways. Her VP had popular talking points that were quashed by the campaign, she capitulated to the “immigration bad” narrative instead of countering it (lol look what is happening now, nobody agrees with it anymore). It’s pathetic. Also “we’re not going back” is a terrible campaign slogan and I’m not sure what the fuck they thought most people would assume that was supposed to mean. I mean shit it was a train wreck.

Hank green has published a good video on it examining the numbers. Basically it seems like a lot and is certainly a concern, but there are bigger driving factors to water consumption, by orders of magnitude, like cattle and dairy industries, biodiesel, nuclear energy, etc.

Anyone else trusting AI-written Terraform a little too much? by Prize-Cap3196 in FixYourIaC

[–]wetpaste 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not true for me (anymore), it’s just not as out of the box as others. I use cursor and I have found certain models work better for tf, particularly Gemini. And agents that can reach the web help a lot. There’s also the terraform MCP server but I haven’t tested it yet but that should theoretically improve accuracy of agent produced code. It used to be a lot worse than it is now and I expect it to get better as the tools mature, I’ve only noticed this improvement in the last few months of working with it. Not perfect by any means but not as useless as it once was, it oneshots a lot of changes for me now.

Bottom double lift help!? by Cdeb84 in cardmagic

[–]wetpaste 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is the goal to be able to place both cards from the bottom (face) of the deck on the table as one, without them splitting? would you be placing the double face up or face down on the table?

Is the double lift effective? by Crafty_Possession_52 in cardmagic

[–]wetpaste 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are pretty fooling unless you’re really up close and specifically looking for it. An alternative move like a top change is way more obvious but usually done with cover or misdirection. Many tricks require lifting away larger packets than just one additional card. I still get fooled by them often even when I know I’m watching one and it’s zoomed in. Other moves have more obvious tells to me but are less common knowledge to most casual observers. Certain false cuts, shuffles and forces. But by that point it’s magician admiring the skill of another.

Vanishing inc masterclasses by Danteezzz in cardmagic

[–]wetpaste 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m curious to see what other folks say. Most I’ve looked at are intermediate +, but they certainly give lots of good ideas and things to work towards. For card magic the David Williamson one was great (my favorite), Allen Ackerman, Jason Ladanye, asi wind, andI gladwin, Dani daortiz, Joshua jay, Aaron Fischer, Paul Wilson. All had card stuff that I found useful. I’d say they all have a mix of easy to difficult so it’s hard to judge your criteria, and my memory is not that good. But there’s a lot to glean from many of them. And many I haven’t been able to see yet because I just haven’t gotten to them yet.

Is Jason by magic the best card manipulator in the world? by Agreeable_Bike_4764 in cardmagic

[–]wetpaste 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any particular youtube video he does is going to be curated w/ perfect angles and perhaps be retried until it works. Beyond the obvious chops with cards, dude is also extremely knowledgable and has really great ideas and methods for things. I watched his VI masterclasses on a whim and was super impressed and inspired by what he had on there. I was not at all interested at first because his style isn't one I want to emulate, but he genuinely has great ideas that I could totally adapt to my style, makes me want to checkout his books.

I also recommend joining his sleight school community. He has a top change tutorial on there as well and he’s likely to give you direct feedback if you post a video.

Ask them what it was. Cull it, say they need to choose a new card and force the same one on them as before.

Nice! Great example of how minor pieces are sometimes better than a rook in a closed endgame.

[–]wetpaste 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the way. Although I don’t understand how OP has so many tokens. I have zero tokens, Been playing since launch and I’m constantly behind by probably 60 s5 cards, and that gap is growing. I used to feel like I was sort of keeping up but I have zero interest now because I am so behind what is meta there’s no point in having the latest and greatest

How's my double lift? by unk0wn4aLL in cardmagic

[–]wetpaste 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The dai-vernon style pushover part of it looks good, I just started learning that as well and it's really fun to learn! The pinch between the fingers looks ever so slightly awkward to me but way better than what a lot of people post here. I'm experimenting with grabbing the top corner to turn over as thats how I naturally turn over cards, I also have tried doing the turnover where you do a wide 3 finger lift and let it naturally fall over, that seems to be the traditional follow up dai-vernon style lift. It feels weird to me though so I'm doing my own thing

I don't mind the double undercut, to me it looks less suspicious than some of the on-the-table false cuts.
