So kamm messaged me after I left a comment on his video..

You wrote:
"The only thing that makes me wonder about this is what will the spectator think? You put a card in face up but it magically turns face down? It doesnt make much sense to me. And Markhilkemeijer has a control exactly like this but the card is put in face up. Just wondering you know."

Its a unique control. The card goes in one way and appears on top of the deck flipped the opposite way. If you don't think a spectator would be amazed by a card going in the center then instantly appearing face up on top of the deck then I guess I can't help you. Its not meant to replace any control you already use. It's simply another weapon in your arsenal.

As far as Mark having something exactly like this I say you are mistaken. Mark can't do half the things he shows in his videos.

I hope he realizes that he put the card in the deck face up and then made it appear face down on top. Either way it wouldn't make much sense in my honest opinion.

Even a faced up pass would do better than a suspicious springing action with the card ending up face up on the deck, both actually showing and proving a move has occured. And why not putting the card in the deck face up and have it appear face up if you'd like to do that anyways?

For some reason, I feel like blaming it on the State of Illinois instead. I doubt Johnny and Jonathan have ever met each other. Two 'kings' in one area? That can't be good. And it's not that Jonathan actually had to add that additional sentence.

I think I'm very proud of the 'Spring Control' not being like 'Sprink'.

WTF... what's that supposed to mean? So he's saying that either:
1) Mark performs by fluke, or
2) In the videos, that isn't Mark who is performing, or
3) Jonathan is going senile...

I think Kammagic's still got some grudge against Mark... Come on... I mean seriously, we are more mature than him in terms of respectfulness and jealousy-control...

Actually, yesterday, I was playing around with the repulse control and came up with a repulse/spring top control too and it looks almost the same as Mark's I bet it's inferior to Mark's original one, but still thought it was neat haha

I really doubt that it was inferior, but I actually think that it's quite similar to what I did, apart from using the 'Repulse Control'. Want to put it on your upcoming release too?

Haha omg you are trying to kill me! Of course, it's a joke xD

Well, it's actually not that much different than the "P-application". You do that, and do the spring and release and it works like that. I'll put up a video on this forum tomorrow since I forgot my webcam. I was going to record it yesterday so I was so disappointed

Oh and I've been working on the Ego and Cardini change and came up with a mix variation that ends clean (meaning no bottom cleanup). I'll put that on here too tomorrow.

I've actually been getting a lot of decent ideas lately. I have so much I want to share right now...

Haha, I totally figured you used the "P-application" for it.
Can't wait for the vids! Be sure to make them forum exclusives!

PS: Pushed the wrong button that you edited my post?

Haha of couse.

Yeah, I thought I pressed "quote" and started typing and saved it and I was like, "wait a minute... something looks very very wrong..."

I just accidentally pressed edit again before I quoted you
