Must be a multiplicity of them, eh? I suppose the title could also be 'Top ten ways to get flamed on the magic Café Before you even start.'
Here is one ' New Poster: The Great Blaine-ini" (New user, One Post) :"How does David Blaine levitate?" Man, that 'll do it everytime! Any other suggestions to add to the list?
The difficult must become easy, the easy beautiful and the beautiful magical.

What's the best way to vanish a coin?
What's the best card trick? Where can I learn (x) for free? Will someone teach me (x) trick that I saw someone else do? Where can I buy a purple sequinned suit like that guy on TV? :D
...to all the coins I've dropped here

Hmmmm Top Ten ways to Lose Respect at Magic Café...Arrogance.
One of the greatest magician I've ever met told me that true greatness has a voice of its own.... another great magician, a female magician actually, once told me that noone, new comer or seasoned performer is any better than the next person. She said, "We are all on the exact same road of discovery. We all start at the same place; it's just that some of us are farther along the path". I thought that was very astute, but also I thought she was saying the same as the male magician had told me ...That true greatness has a voice of its own and speaks loudly all by its self. Peace Beth

Try this well-worn approach:
"Hi, I'm the greatest in the world! I've done more for this art than any man living; You know it; I know it! I invented everything and did it better than anyone else! You say you invented that effect?!? Come to the convention with your videos and press clippings to prove it, and I'll bring mine to prove you wrong! I know everything, I never lie and I'm always right! I'm a pro and you're a coackroach whose name I never heard of, you insignificant pleb! Bow down before me!" Don't you just love those types? Steve

I have seen people lose respect at the Magic Café for asking simple questions and for disagreeing with the conventional wisdom and popular opinions of magic. So whether right or wrong, one can lose respect here by revealing ignorance or by questioning dogma.

Besides a lot of popular opinion has little to do with truth, and a lot to do with money and networking. I think it's important to be respectful even when others are not. It shows you are the bigger person, but we have to speak out about what we believe. Just because everyone says the emperors clothes are beautiful doesn't mean he isn't naked.

I've got my bizarre act all ready and I have this great idea for a card trick. Has anyone tried turning over two cards at the same time? They are thin and I bet you could get away with it. Has this been done? I want to make sure before I put this revolutionary concept on my next DVD.

Greg P.S. by the way, I'm going to have my own DVD. I realized that most of the effects I've been seeing others do use Bicycle cards... I do them all with Bee's so you know it's different. And I know Sneak Thief usually uses four or five people... get this... my routine uses 10! It's brilliant! Oh, and I do a Cannibal Card trick that uses only Jokers... It's totally hot and new... because it uses jokers. And I've got the newest take on a matrix routine... I put the coins in a straight line and cover them with a credit card... and, surprise, I use nickels in my routine! It's so different I don't know why it's never been done that way!! And my big one effect killer... this one has to be in a manuscript all its own!!! PK Touches done in the dark and on yourself. You don't even need a spectator. It's cool!!! You do it to yourself then it fools you then you tell everyone what happened. They won't believe it! And when you turn the lights on you've now changed into a full clown outfit so you know you're ready to do some killer spoon bending! I'm also working on a few products: a wallet that you can peek stuff inside of it once someone writes something in it... It will be called The Cornelius Unseen Caper Case. And I have a watch that makes the hands move really fast when you want it to... it's called Time To Watch and Wear This Watch. I can't believe no one has ever come up with this stuff! Man, I've been into magic since Thursday and the ideas are just popping in there. Penguin will be carrying my 10 part DVD series and 1000 page book by next month. Greg
