http://www.sleightsofmind.com/ This book is not for a young or new student in magic. It is very heavy into how our brains process magic and how effects fool us time and time again. It is by far one of my top 3 magic books for all time right now. Up there with Strong Magic and Maximum...

I was bored last night and so I seriously went to about 8 different magic websites and looked through EVERY single page to see what else is out there that I don't have that could make my act even better. I spent 3 hours drooling over the "next best thing". Am I the only one like this or do...

So every worker knows that eventually if you perform enough shows, things are going to happen beyond your control. Yesterday I was performing at a 4 year olds birthday party which the client insisted be outdoors and the weather looked fabulous for Ohio weather...ha ha. They wanted a half...

Hi Fellas, Saturday I performed 3 hours of strolling at an outdoor Farm Park. They had hired me for a their Family Fun Day from 2:00-5:00 PM. There were horse shows, pig races, kiddie jump houses, food booths, etc. I packed the following 3 sets in my pockets. I checked the wind outside...

This past weekend was the Battle of Magicians in Canton, Ohio. There were many great magicians there from all over but the guy who impressed me the most was in fact David Stone. His coin work is the best in the world. His lecture blew anyone away that I have seen to date and I have seen quite a...

Hey fellas, I just returned from a small private showing of Joshua Jay's UNREAL show which is about to tour the U.S. It was here in my hometown of Canton, Ohio where Josh is originally from. I sat front row with my wife and enjoyed the one hour production. I must say Josh put in countless...

Hi Guys, As many of you know, my mentor is Ed Ellis. Some people love his style and some hate it. Either way he has helped me grow tremendously as a performer. He has performed in Vegas, Hollywood, The Magic Castle for over 20 years, and Blackpool England. He and I shot some raw footage a few...

I had the privilege of attending Keith Field's lecture last night at our local IBM / club meeting. His comical personality and accent were hilarious. He is originally from London but now lives in Detroit. None of his material was knuckle busting and his chop cup routine was top notch. If anyone...

"Magic Series Part 2 offers some great practical effects. Do NOT pass these up as "throw aways". These are real workers, as Shane has used them for years entertaining audiences in a loud venue. " "This is simple magic that hits hard visually. Matched is similar to the classic match book trick...

Hey Fellas, if any of you had the chance to go to Magi Fest in Columbus Ohio this past weekend....it was phenomenal. The professional close up show was the best I've EVER seen. Johnny Ace Palmer "killed" as well as Asi Wind. Gregory Wilson was hilarious all weekend, Rick Merril and his pen...

Hey fellas, I just thought I'd share some good news I received tonight. My IBM ring of about 30 guys voted me magician of the year. Here's a pic.

Okie Dokie...so now that I have your attention. I am heading to Vegas for the first time ever in July and need to know a few things. Perhaps Mr. Draven and a few others can lend me some info. I am only going for 3 days with my wife and another couple. Now...for starters, unfortunately this...

Will anyone here be attending Magi Fest in Columbus, Ohio this year? I will be there all 3 days and would love to meet any other Theory11 members. Let me know. I have a friend competing in the teen category close up contest who I think is going to blow some people away. The kid has some...

Hey fellas...just returned from a birthday party gig for two twin boys turning 5 years old. Let me give you the run down so that the title makes sense. As per the contract agreement, my performance was to begin at 3:00. It was to be a birthday party for two young children and there were to...

Alright fellas, today I am saddened that yet another Brick and Mortar Magic shop within my city limits has closed its doors. It is the 2nd one in 2 years. I understand that running a magic shop in a location where you have to pay overhead costs, utilities, and such can be very difficult. Even...

Hey Guys, What's happening? I promised you I would do a review of tonight's Amish Gig so here it goes. 4:15 PM I pull out of my drive with hand written instructions because my GPS cannot even locate the gig site which is just about an hour away in the middle of nowhere, Ohio. The gig...

Hey fellas, Just returned from a birthday party gig for two young boys (brothers). One boy turned 6 and the other turned 4 today. I charged $100 for a half hour show with the understanding that there would just be 12-15 children. Normally if they want a 45 minute show or there is going to...
