XB II forum?

feeds@yuku.com (fishsticks911) — Tue, 26 Aug 2008 04:07:34 GMT

I've noticed there's now an XB II forum. However, the DVD hasn't been released yet, yet people are posting there. How?

I've looked around and searched through threads to try and find if there already was a thread or post about this, and I can't seem to find anything, so I made a thread. I'm happy to see that there's a forum for the new DVD

Hi, I'm looking for advice on how to learn a good fan. I'm not really into card XCM that much, but I do like card fans. I would like to know where I can learn how to make all types of fans, giant fans, double fans, thumb fans, pressure fans. I do like de'vo's de'ring and that's what I'm mainly working on right now, I also like to do pen spinning.

Will a good fan be taught in XB 2? I'd rather buy XB 2 than XB 1

I have been doing XCM for a while now and starting to get it flowing and smooth. I recently saw 2 videos online that someone directed me to one was

Deck conditioning....updated

feeds@yuku.com (webghost1) — Thu, 14 Aug 2008 16:21:32 GMT

Alright this is a weird way to get a deck conditioned faster, but it has worked well for me...
Others have tried it..minus the beef jerky tip(that's new ) some it worked for and some
it didn't. This has been especially helpful to me since I can't manipulate for long periods of
time at the...

2)you buy decks from ellusionist,bitch about them the whole time, then go and buy some more
3)"i need to pick up some bikes and hoes" is not a sex joke
4)you end up in a tiny store full of people u hate because you need...

Local XCM Donations

feeds@yuku.com (HardcoreXcmer) — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 22:18:21 GMT

I was sitting on my bed earlier flipping through my "bible" and was thinking about the day I first discovered what superhandz was.....(4 years)
I was thinking about how bad I wanted to learn everything but couldn't because I couldn't afford any products.....
What if I donated some of my stuff to the local library?
The first thing I did when I first started was go to the library and try to find books on flourishing....but NOTHING was there.....
I had to...

Question about one-handed shuffles

feeds@yuku.com (Drake Skyle) — Wed, 30 Jul 2008 00:04:17 GMT

Hi everyone, I notice that the way Jerry does the one-handed shuffle is different than the way De'vo does it (I mean the part after you weave the cards). I was just wondering if there was any major difference or if its just habit or other minor stuff...

new cards at the local store

feeds@yuku.com (UnknownEnemyZero) — Tue, 29 Jul 2008 21:10:34 GMT

Surprising find in a nearby RiteAid where I work at currently.

It's a 4 pack of Bicycle Playing Cards that come with 2 packs of red and 2 pack of black cards. Surprising for USPCC to be caring enough to do such a thing.

It's a nice find, in my humble opinion, the cost for me was $10.99, might be steep but at least you're...

Track 12 on a projection screen at a video dance party

feeds@yuku.com (Ashtar5) — Sun, 27 Jul 2008 18:59:49 GMT

Just got back from a 4 day DJ gig on a native reserve up north.. Rocked the house... I did track 12 with a cameraman and a big projection screen.. Track 12 kicks ass !!!!! This was my first actual presentation at an event... I'll have some video soon when the camera guy hooks it up, you can all see how badly I did :D :D It wasn't that bad, but I know I can do better once my hands stop shaking!!! I got to hang out with some poi / fire dudes who were fucking awesome. They thought I did...

XCM on a small TV/Internet Show (video and story)

feeds@yuku.com (Dracula) — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 12:33:33 GMT

Just finished watching the last episode of a small TV/Internet show where I was performing some XCM. But before we go I will tell you how it came to this and what feelings/worries I had during the filming and after that. It can be a longer text, so you can go straight to the link at the bottom if you want to.

The venue what you are about to see is a local magicshop in Zurich, Switzerland, where I am living. Before I started XCM I normally bought my cards from there, and even with...

Cards in unexpected adverising

feeds@yuku.com (Krishach) — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 16:26:42 GMT

I noticed, of all places, on the Jones Soda bottle for Fufu Berry (which tastes better than it sounds) has a guy peeking through a hand of cards. Picture to come, but I was wondering where else cards have made a subtle (or unsubtle) appearance

Drawings

feeds@yuku.com (Digital Artist 6) — Tue, 15 Jul 2008 23:59:37 GMT

After watching the art prints, their promo videos and Jerry´s drawings in his book, I tried to draw a few things by myself using a small knowledge I have since I was a kid and some extra info that I´ve been reading on the net. Due to the fact that I´m not an expert on this, each of these drawings toke me A LOT OF TIME and I putted them in order. However, there are a few attemps before the first face that I decided to discart.
I hope you like them

Maximizing the Effects - Increasing the Wow Factor

feeds@yuku.com (Ashtar5) — Mon, 14 Jul 2008 22:04:36 GMT

This is just a rant. I am in no way purporting to be an expert performer or an expert in psychology. I have been performing for about 8 years and have done live TV appearances, worked in restaurants and put on (albeit crappy) stage shows. Lately I would like to really evolve as a performer. I've been studying stand up comedy and comedians. They are the perfect example of my new philosophy. You or I couldn't simply take a comic's material and deliver it with the same results. I...

Jerry's pressure fan

feeds@yuku.com (narcissus30) — Wed, 09 Jul 2008 13:52:09 GMT

Question....I've been training pressure fans for years and have a nice one...there's just one little thing that drives me nuts about the way that I do them. There's always this little awkward thing that happens at the end of the formation where my fingers sort of right themselves and while it's just a split second, it interrupts the flow. I've watched and watched and read and read and there seems to be one little thing that Jerry does at about 2 or 3 oclock on his fan...

How to increase the longevity of your boxes

feeds@yuku.com (Darian) — Tue, 08 Jul 2008 23:49:11 GMT

When I've been exploring/practicing openers I find that the card boxes wear out VERY quickly, are there any methods to preserve the life of your box? After a few weeks of doing openers/closers my boxes are a mess, the top flap rips off and then disintegrates, the edges shred, the bottom falls off etc.... and I have to tape up the entire box, then a few more weeks later, my box just fall apart beyond repairing, do you have any methods or ideas to prevent this and keep your boxes crisp and...

The Wonder's of The Birdy Fan ( Story )

feeds@yuku.com (Karasu) — Tue, 01 Jul 2008 19:46:15 GMT

So i went to the magic store to stock up on cards (mind you, bicycles are like $8 - $9each where i live)
I saw a group of guys that looked to be magicians and were showing the store owners tricks and stuff
Then 2 guys came up to me and wanted to show me a trick and i was like "no thanks, i'll know how you do it", then one of them proceeded to give me his deck of cards and ask me to show him something.
So i busted out a Birdy Fan at my own risk because the deck was...

3D Effects

feeds@yuku.com (shinibisho) — Thu, 26 Jun 2008 16:41:37 GMT

De'vo, if you get a chance I was wondering, what program(s) do you use to make 3D text and things like the U4/HL Spade shots?
