I wish! Yes, the better you get at riffle shuffling, the more it will approximate a faro shuffle (meaning less "clumps" and more singles alternating) in some parts of the deck, but…

August 22–24 at the Revolution Hall in Portland

So… see you at Magic Live?

How’s your progress going? I read The Memory Book (Harry Lorayne) 20 years ago, and have always been interested, but assumed it would take years to be proficient. Wasn’t until I re…

Penn has mentioned a few times on his podcast that him and Rob Pike are good friends from way back, and has shared several anecdotes. One I remember and found funny was that one ti…

For me, it was Skittles! I traveled to the UK, bought some Skittles, and almost spit them out (blackcurrant instead of grape). Had to look up what it was. Still haven’t tried the r…

And here’s an explanation from a theater show by Derren Brown @ 5:43 - https://youtu.be/GPoPSNxV1D4?t=342

Nice! I remember learning about Cronhub when the original developer was building in public on social media, back in 2019. I remember thinking it was a cool idea, and even recommend…

Perhaps there were special deals in place for high profile podcasts? I’ve never used the Apple Podcast app, and only learned about the Apple only features while listening to John C…

The Spanish “scene” has been around for a while! I have a friend who moved to Spain in the 90s to study under Ascanio. After Ascanio, Tamariz and the late Gabi Pareras seem to have…

And Luis Olmedo - 2022 FISM winner! Great act. Plus many more.

If you enjoyed reading this article, you’ll probably also enjoy Joshua Jay’s book How Magicians Think. Among other things, he describes the experience of spending a few days visiti…

This OS "upgrade" has been annoying. At least I'm not the only one with issues, and I have some of the same issues listed listed here. I hadn't seen them documented elsewhere. I wa…

I love rclone, have been using it to reliably move large files between different could providers (thanks Nick!). GUI applications were constantly crashing, rclone has always been r…

Surely you weren’t the only one who read it that way.

All of them good points. I'll add another wrinkle; for some reasons I can barely remember, I have 2 different Apple IDs. I was a paid .Mac user when it was a thing, but I also had …

I'm more or less on the same boat, but this would be my first time trying it. Not familiar with all the available API platforms, but while doing some research, Alpaca kept showing …

I still use https://fluidapp.com/ when I have to log into Facebook from the computer, hopefully, this will replace it! Looks cool, can't wait for support for the other websites.

I also got the "Registration is denied" error multiple times with no other error messages. Does your company name have any non-alphanumeric characters? I removed the "&" from mine …

Are you familiar with Ramit Sethi, from https://www.iwillteachyoutoberich.com/ ? He has shifted a bit from a blog about financial advice but has years of entries in the blog (and a…

If anyone caught Derek Delgaudio's Off-Broadway show "In and Of Itself", he dealt with this concept. Great show, limited run just ended recently.

I've used Plivo in the past and was happy with the results. Since you mention Twillio, I'm assuming you're okay with a development platform and are not necessarily looking for a co…

Interesting. The article itself does not add much insight from the professor (Dr. Melissa González) since she didn't respond to requests for comments, so it is based on a research …
