Quick question:- The entire outer side of my pinky and the top surface of my middle finger hurts. I've been practising card twirling. Will this go away by itself or should I give my right hand a break? If the latter, for how long? Mostly because it's my right hand (dominant) and I can't...

Get Bobo's book on coin magic, the Expert Card Technique, Paul Zenon's book on Street Magic and any one of the Karl Fulves' Self-working 'series' books to begin with. All the best! :)

What type of magic do you intend to perform?

Social media is honestly, the only life-saver now, not only for magic but for everything else. Thank the Gods for the advanced technology we have. I'm using this time to practice my sleights specifically, since I often neglect them, and also get down some great cardistry. All in all, I think...

Thanks for the ideas! :) :) :)

So I (like everybody) have a LOT of free time on my hands right now and I have been watching some movies. In regards to movies where magic forms the main plot or background, I've watched The Prestige (of COURSE), Now You See Me, Now You See Me 2 and The Illusionist, and even Doctor Strange...

There are ways given in the Complete Idiot's Guide to Street Magic by Tom Ogden. Regardless, if you really want to seemingly stop your heartbeat by stopping your pulse, here's some free advice:- The pulse is just the expansion and elastic recoil of the wall of the radial artery in tune with...

Done :)

For the Bullet by Andrei, he sometimes keeps the card flicking one side and then the other by switching positions of the index and the middle fingers which are clipping the card. Does that move have a specific name? If so, what is it? Moreover, how to get better at it (since it makes all...

And is is why, folks at Theory XI, you should hire me for advertising-related work.

I asked you the same thing. Why the Allerton Control? Why not the double undercut? Hmn... see, my first guess when something like this happens is to always search in my performance style for the faults. But you're the one experiencing this, if you're confident that your style is cent percent...

Oh I didn't mean the stages you have mentioned, ha ha! You misunderstand... I meant stages as a place to perform, such as the street for Blaine, or a literal stage for stage magicians, or a table for table magicians. :)

Thanks! :D Bill Gates has said that he assigns the most difficult jobs to the laziest people, because they will find out an easy way to do it! (Who used it though?)

But don't certain methods apply to different 'stages'? I'd employ different methods for 'tricking' a person and for 'tricking' the camera. Since misdirectiond and psychology doesn't fool a camera, the methods then become significantly difficult, in my opinion (unless one uses editing tricks to...

So Sorry for my grammar there. What's ''charmingness''? It's charm. Me and my... Idiotness.

I have another confession. Supremely embarrassing but I'm not going to make it because I love the Theory 11 forums and don't want to lose my access here. I just want everybody to know that all of us are dark-minded, scheming, evil, creepy, opportunistic, lying people sometimes (some a bit more...

The second one, ouch. Hey come on! If he's popular, good magician or not, he knows how to sell himself and I call that first-rate businessmanship! Here are a few:- I can do just one colour change. The Erdnase Change. And I'm not 100% confident with that either. People are going on all about...

Unfortunately, I can't. As I said, I'm not aware if this is a move by itself or otherwise. To me, it looks like a combination of certain basics and perfect angles. If you already know what is being done, I think you're off to a pretty good start, speaking method-wise.

You feel so because you're a magician. There are plenty of people (even magicians sometimes) who would see a trick, be as amazed as if they saw the Holy Grail, and yet not strive to find out how it's done by looking through books and/or asking people how it was done in forums ( ;) ). Refine...
