neither me nor kels is going. Sad about both. I don't know if/when he is going to another national. I am going to MIST and then who knows. If possible i'd like to go to apex, but its more than likely that school will stop me from keeping my skills honed.

If The GERM and Replicate were to team they should call themselves Germinate and...germinate an array of women.

I know how he does almost all of his stuff... but I can't do that for anything haha.

I remember you linked to the first vid a long time ago (one of the ones that made me first interested in ur magic vids). I can practically see him grabbing the stuff out of his pockets and stuff for most of the vid but i still cant see where hes getting those cards when hes snapping them.

Encyclopedia Dramatica isn't funny at all tbqh. Apparently they think satire = being unnecessarily over-the-top negative about everything.

My ninja friend said Jason latimer was sloppy at times but I wasn't able to see it. To me it was incredible lol. But I guess a ninja is a ninja for a reason. =P

There are a few moments in the first one where it's obvious what he's doing... but the other 2 I still am 100% in shock over haha

Yea the 2nd and 3rd boggle my mind though I think I sorta have a clue how he does it. For example, I know how he does most of the laser stuff. To me it doesn't take away from the amazement, the execution and practice that went into all of that is unbelievable.

1st one was OK, third wasn't even impressive. I dunno exactly how he does it, but I could give you at least one plausible, workable explanation for each trick he pulls.

Also, Uncyclopedia Dramatica is... a cesspool of iniquity, lol. Seriously, every page of that thing is like, legit evil. IDK who that's funny to, but to me it's incredibly tasteless, offensive, etc. without actually being even remotely humorous.

Lol ya it's the overall performance I love.
The lazer one blows my mind for many reasons... mostly the coathanger part lol.

The glass cups and balls is insane because I do know how he does a chunk of it and I still haven't figured out the end. Each time I think I got it, I rewatch and get proven wrong lol.

Well the coathanger thing... theres some sort of material obviously holding it up, whether its a strong piece of clear plastic or more likely a specially designed material that i am unaware of existing. You can see him flipping a switch or pressing a button with his left hand at the same time he moves his hand in front of the beam of light, which probably signifies that he is releasing the mechanism then. Something similar happens near the end when he pulls the glow stick out of air.

As for the light manipulation... he has some sort of laser tool in his hands that allows him to create a laser in one direction or another or both. You can see him mess up at one point.

Lol ya I still get that feeling with many shows. I actually get more impressed with knowing how alot is done because of how difficult the moves are haha.

Life is a paradox, don't waste your time trying to learn it. lol. If you do, it'll probably cause you a lot of unnecessary suffering for your whole life. The magic of life ftw. =P

Actually I'm the type of person who appreciates stuff a lot more when I know how they work. If there's one thing I can't stand it's mystery :p

I'm actually the same =3. I mean I get the point of the post since life is a cluster**** for logic but yea. Being an engineering major, I love understanding factual things and how it works.

I only play melee now since now i totally hate brawl with a complete passion here are the top 5 things that made me drop brawl completely

#1 nerfing my best character ganondorf to the point where his moves are too slow and weak to even bother to continue using him at all in brawl
#2 putting meta knight as part of the roster in brawl he is the only character that i know of that is way too overpowered he is practically unbeatable it takes too much practice and work just to own his *** in tournaments or wifi
#3 taking my favourite character mewtwo and have him replaced with lucario mewtwo was the most unique character in brawl no one had his moveset
#4 putting tripping as a standard move that can be used in brawl to cancel the other person's attack to edgeguard is lame
#5 taking wavedashing and L-cancelling not putting those advanced moves in brawl it makes the game become a game of camping, gimping and you have to wait for the other person to make a mistake to punish them with grabs and by smashing
