Bucky, in no way I asked anything on a bad or demanding tone to you, and if you think I have, it wasn’t my intention. I know this, but my point was it is against the rules to ask someone to PM you.
However, your tone is pretty much made out of ignorance. Nope, honesty, like Lensman has pointed out
Your cold reading skills must be very high to know anything from me including my knowledge of mentalism. Actually they aren't, but if you had read up on things like NLP and hypnosis or even some of the more advanced tricks you could work this one out no problem, even the Paul Brook one.
And if you think you’re higher or better, then give me the books you think I need to read in all your wisdom excellence... That ignorant tone helps nobody, I was being honest, I'm not going to apologize if it sounded harsh to you, deal with it yourself. If you want to get started on those things read Sleight of Mind (as it will give a good background on NLP) and pick out a good hypnosis book for yourself (I don't read those so I cannot recommend one)
I got my thoughts on this, but as you and i know there are many roads to Rome, i just was interested in the vision you shared with Lensman. And that was supposed to be between Lensman and myself. There are no secrets in what we talked about, we only discussed possibilities. However, if you were uneducated on the same topic, it would be a secret to you and divulging that for free is unethical, magically speaking of course.
Also you’re statements are made of rubbish, in a forum you pretty much don’t know anyone (except a few), and if I see, lensman is only a member a few months earlier than I am. Look at his post count, he's here a lot more than you are, and he posts with quality. That's why I know him better. I'm not saying you're an idiot or anything, I'm just saying I only discuss these sort of things with people I know to be dedicated forum members.
I noticed many times from the times I became a member that you always were rude or harsh against members asking questions here in the mentalist section, to sad. No, I'm not more rude or harsh than I need to be. If I were to hold someone's hand and tell them that they can easily do what Derren Brown, Max Maven, Gerry McCambridge, or any other prominent mentalist does, they'd be so disappointed to realize how much they'd have to read, practice and perfect everything just to get to half the level that those people are at. So maybe I can be harsh or rude, but the people who stay and realize that I'm only trying to help the willing, end up being good mentalists, which in turn helps our art by the way.
again I not intented you to think that i demanded a pm, i was just a curious Nor did I say you demanded it, I said you asked for one
but again you state that i can figire it out by myself as a reasen not to pm me Again, no I didn't, I said you had the information necessary in the thread. I put the information down on June 15th according to the post date, so go and read that post and you'll see what I meant... I hope.
and then on the other hand start a discussion in this subject against Lens on pm, your piont is not legitimate at this case, you must think youre post out a bit more. I don't understand, you think that me trying to help out a fellow (and dedicated) mentalist is bad because I will not help out the people I don't know on the forum to be dedicated? Ask pupeteer_berlin if he's ever got that help from me, or any of the people who do not post in the mentalism section. See my belief is the following: if someone shows dedication towards mentalism (and that I see that dedication), I have no problem helping them out in a healthy discussion. The problem with people such as yourself is that they expect to be handed everything and basically that puts you in the same category as the annoying little 13 year olds here who ask questions such as "where can I learn to be the next david blaine? he's so awesome OMG!" Sorry if that sounds harsh to you, but it is my opinion and I'm entitled to it here.
People are coming here to bring their skills and knowledge to a higher level, seemingly you don’t want that to happen as i noticed many of youre reactions As stated above, my reactions are justified and they help dedicated people, not lazy, trick seekers who only want to learn something from a dvd. And after they have learned it, go out, perform it terribly and hurt the art of mentalism because they exposed how something is done.
So let me say one more thing. I may sound harsh or rude at times, but it helps those people out by telling them it is not an easy thing to be an awesome mentalist. Sure it is easy to learn the stuff, but it is nearly impossible to present everything in the manner that mentalism demands. Remember it is 90% presentation, 10% skill. It is not as simple as walking into a magic shop, or going online, buying a book, reading it, and then going out and performing. That is why I'm a little harsh or rude at times. Hopefully you understand why I'm doing that and why it protects the art, even if I upset a few 13 year olds (I'm not including you in their group) along the way.
