Twin_A's Magic Trick That Will Blow Your Mind Link of the Day

This one is the great Ricky Jay performing his Alaskan Poker routine.

Rene Leveland is my favorite, its amazing how perfect he pulls this trick off with just one hand.

I've seen that one before and even tried it myself (just not with one hand). Brilliantly done haha. That guys left hand was way too fast O.o

the fun is trying to figure it out. I just dont understand how the cards were getting into his hands starting around 3:30. I can usually keep track of slight of hand tricks, but that looked almost like a mechanical device or soemthing
I was wondering about that too, but after rewatching it I figured out how he did it and it impressed me even more lol. Well assuming it was in fact done without mechanical devices. The set up for it was hard, that's for sure (sorry trying not to spoil how it was done).

Twins > me
Flattered you guys, but we're not special or unique any more than the next :D
<3

I'm thinking about including a joke of the day or flirtation tips of the day. Hmm....

Lol well why don't we add it another step and do work out of the day ;)

But really. Love Ricky Jay. Watch his full show called Ricky Jay and his 52 assistants. Brilliant man makes his nagic show a course through history of magicians at some points lol. The stuff he does is scary and fascinating.

My link of the day will come later when I am off of work k :)

So, for anyone who cares, the Winter Gamefest grand finals are the skill-y-iest 15 minutes of smash I've ever had the privilege to watch

Winterfest GF's were awesome. But so were ROM3's. PP vs M2K lol.

Genesis GF's are still the best I have ever seen!

I love it when new guys are getting into Melee. Too bad it's hard to convince them to stay once they realize how much better you are than them. :sadeyes:

My younger brother quickly improved just by playing me regularly. He barely even asked for advice.
It's really about patience for the first little part, it's breaking those plateaus and improving past a level of what's readily available that really takes a long time.
imo
