It's so funny how wanna be magicians think they "know" tricks

No you don't. How do I know? Its pretty funny when you here people or wanna be magicians talk about how they "know" how an effect is done. So, without giving away his secret (as me and Jason are good friends, I wouldnt want to do that), how would one know if you were just bullshitting yourself and thus us included? Well, you would have to look for clues in your post. For example, The cups and balls is a unique trick. Because its not a trick in general, it is many moves, slights, and individual tricks that make up one whole routine. So, the experienced magician normally does not say, "I know how this trick is done". Because it doesn't sound right to us. We would maybe say, "I know how the routine is performed. Not to mention, we have never decided to sell this effect. We do sell a very similar version. But this whole routine is done with normal glass cups and normal little yellow balls. But, if you know "exactly" how this is performed, you would be able to answer one, very simple question. So, this whole routine, with the exception of one action is completed with normal objects, (no gimmicks). So, you know exactly what part does he ring in a gaff and what that gaff is? Here is where it gets tricky. You could say, "im not going to play this game with you" as if your too mature to answer me. But if that were the case, you would have been confident and respectful enough not to say, like all amateur magicians do (oh, I know how this is done). You also wouldn't say that you don't want to give the answer away because the answer that im asking wouldn't give away anything. There is no "one secret" to how this is done. And it drives me nuts when fools like you pretend to be familiar with someones work, and then you think your safe because if someone asks how its done you can just say "oh I don't want to ruin it. Especially when its a friend of mine. So im starting to call idiots like you out. And I am SO excited to see your excuse for avoiding my question. If you even have the balls to reply. Its always a treat to see how people like you weasel your way out of these situations. In the future, how about NOT belittling someones routine by handing out a egotistical compliment. What is that? An egotistical compliment is when you cant give a compliment without making yourself feel good. (I.E. I know how the rest of that was done,......but that last one was awesome. or Wow, you performed that perfectly, even knowing how its done it looks great) ...................and by the way, his hands don't move quickly, when you are FOOLED by an illusion, your brain remembers the sequencing incorrectly. So you think it was performed fast when in fact, it is at a normal speed. He moves slowly during almost the whole routine. peace out.
