What magical occurance are you looking to see that has yet to be created, either because it hasn't been thought of or simply because a method is near impossible at this point? What would be the qualifications and specifics to make this effect the holy grail of magic?

Walking on water is, in my opinion, the perfect candidate for this. If a practical, self-contained method was developed via some sort of body gimmick, that would be the holy grail of magic.

When I finally have a practical, working method, you'll all see my personal holy grail.  It's beyond a magic effect; it's a work of art.  If only I could just finish it.  Going on two years since the creation of the effect yet without a practical, working method.  Sigh.  It's getting really frustrating.

keep working on it brian!
the idea will come some day.

i think the holy grail of magic could be plenty of things
maybe a way to psycologically force someone into thinking of something just bye looking into their eyes.
that would be neat, and have limitless possiblitlys

Another holy grail idea.... shuffled, borrowed deck, totally clean ACAAN with no passes or controls, looking at the card faces, or second dealing. Freely named card, freely named number, immediately fair countdown.

Oh goodness - the ACAAN holy grail again.  *Sigh*  I'm constantly perplexed by this one, mostly because what everyone seems to discuss about this one is finding a holy grail method rather than the effect itself.  There are so many ways to accomplish this effect, especially when you look at psychological ways to get the audience to remember what you want the effect to look like rather than what you actually did.  It seems as though everyone is looking for a way to do ACAAN with real magic!  Think about how impossible the conditions of the effect are - isn't it great that we have ways to accomplish it at all?  I digress  Rolling Eyes lol
