Just to echo what Andrei said - playing cards are not and will never be a make or break factor in your skill development. As a case study of this, see Dimitri Arleri: the deck of cards he uses is about 5 years old, and it probably has alien lifeforms growing on it.
The one technical advantage...
For purposes of this contest (and pretty much everything we do), the broad definition of cardistry would be the non-magical manipulation of playing cards as a display of skill, choreography, and manual dexterity.
Yes, you start and end completely clean! No, it cannot be done with any deck - but the deck can be freely handled by the spectator, and in many applications, shuffled by the spectator, throughout the performance.
Out of respect for Andy Nyman, let's please avoid questions that hint at method or...
No construction or alteration is required - everything you need is inside The Code box, pre-made and perfectly designed. Once you watch the video and learn The Code, you'll immediately be able to perform all of the routines taught in the DVD - and can start creating new applications of your own...
Hope everyone is having a great weekend! On Halloween, we released several new things: Red Monarchs, The Code by Andy Nyman, and something peculiar: an innovative, unique four pack set of Monarchs - contained inside ONE oversized tuck case. It's amazing! Like Monarch Inception. Four boxes. In...
We'd prefer not to answer any questions that risk exposing the method or technique, out of respect for Andy Nyman and the 18 months of development that went into this project. One thing I can say: everything you need is included inside that black box, and the deck itself can be shuffled, by the...
The heart and soul of The Code is the very special object included with it - something we worked on and designed over 18 months. Without it, the powers of The Code are useless! Haha - but really, it's all inside the box, so no download is nor will be available.
Key points: no forces, no...
Everything you need is included - with multiple routines, applications, and presentations taught in the DVD. The Code has contributions by Steve Cohen, Chris Kenner, and myself following 18 months of development to bring this idea to life.
We couldn't be more happy with the result, and it's...
The Code is a mentalism device and system based around a deck of cards - so all routines contained in the DVD are centered around that. With regard to presentation, multiple routines are included. The first ten seconds of the preview shows exactly what a spectator would see in a simple...
Hey Lamont, what version of Internet Explorer are you using? Please let us know and we'll check into this, assuming the version you are using is a reasonably supported version (Internet Explorer 9, 10, or 11). We recommend using Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox whenever possible, though.
Hey Venom, if those downloads are older than the past six months, it's very likely this is a result of system updates we've made recently. Don't worry, though - shoot a message to our support crew at www.theory11.com/support and our team will make sure this is fixed up and resolved for you ASAP!
Hey Papi, we made some big updates to the site over the past few weeks, mostly preparing for massive releases on Halloween and Black Friday. We upgraded our servers and infrastructure to make every effort to handle the release of Red Monarchs, The Code, and a LOT more without any issues. As a...
Hey Paul, not seeing any issue of that sort on this end, but shoot us a support ticket and let us know what internet browser you're using (Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer, etc) and we can try our best to replicate it. As a general suggestion, we recommend using the latest version of Google...
Good luck, everyone! Think outside the box - anything in defiance of gravity is fair game for this contest. Cards, coins, phones, keys, candles, gum, mints, or even yourself - levitation, suspension, or flotation. Go for it!
