Well, he DID say the intended content of XB II back closer to when it was announced and compared with XB, so I am assuming that paying attention to that will land close to the message here. I do recall a mention that Ricky Smith Jr, as an appearance, would be addressing card throwing, and it was also mentioned that there would be more focus on 2 handed cuts rather than one handed; opposite of XB. XB II was to be stand alone, and Angela was making an appearance but was NOT performing XCM was said. Whether that changed, or whether she is doing a non-pure-XCM routine remains to be seen.

De'vo has been a purist for XCM with NO magic for quite some time, but he's also been an advocate of incorporating the magic many are so familiar with as a transitionally element to both garner newcomers and appeal to those with magic card tastes or experiments. Example I give is still the flip-back vanish: a magician move that betrays non-magic XCM, but also a beautiful element incorporating XCM in a way most magicians could not. He's also made recent statements saying that the reason FOR the anti-magic stance is the need to keep XCM from being drowned by an overwhelming magic association when the art was new; this is no longer the case. This argument could support possible rises in manipulations closer to the heart of XCM than the flipback vanish was.

Since XCM is now an acknowledged art, I wouldn't put it past De'vo for a little turn-the-tables and show how some magic moves can complement XCM, and have a crowd going "WOW" even if they missed the magicians prestige. That being said, I'm the only vote in my slot for now, so time and Superhandz will tell.

And since I remain officially an acknowledged critic in many things, I cannot put solid faith in any announced products, but I am looking forward to reviewing them. And since the review section disappeared, I guess I get to rewrite XB 1 also. As I said before, Superhandz retains my respect as an online critic for continuing to deliver what they promise, and not writing off hype to be undelivered. That is something that even most "QUALITY" vendors with excellent products cannot claim (Peter Moleneaux, we are watching you).
