    Black Royal Reserve Playing Cards - Deck Review

    If you guys are not already supporting this project please do so! Jeremy is awesome and one of the kindest people I know. Every time you purchase a deck, a portion of that money gets put in a separate account to go towards his babies college fund. Jeremy deserves this and the deck itself is...

    I am collecting playing cards. Am I abnormal?

    When I was a kid my friends and I collected little pieces of plastic with stickers on them called “pogs.” Trust me collecting cards is WAY cooler than that!

    College party

    I would be super subtle about it at first and catch them off guard. Don’t start doing card tricks. Stuff that ales them wonder if they are seeing things. Lol

    Question on submitting a trick..

    The marketplace will not support it unless you are able to teach your audience how to make the deck themselves. If you are unable to do that then again I would suggest contacting T11 and ask about partnering with them. If they feel it is a great investment on their end they will carry it...

    What Is This?

    I know what you are talking about. haha it is more of a gag than a trick i think, but it is a fun one. Don't know the name, but as for the method all you need to learn is a basic control to get the card on top. As for the story, the "punchline" was that the arrow is pointing to "the best...

    Question on submitting a trick..

    The marketplace is only currently supporting downloadable content. If your product is the actual deck itself then you will need to contact support@theory11.com and see if you can work out a deal with them to carry it on their official store. If however you can teach your audience how to make the...

    Perfect Square or Double Cross?

    Great points. It is a double edged sword because I know I will get more use out of strolling with the DC, but I could really use the extra effect to add to my standup act with PS.... :/ haha in a perfect world I would just get both.

    Perfect Square or Double Cross?

    Hello Theory 11 universe! So I have a TON of elite points that I would like to spend on something to add to my working material. After a lot of time browsing the site I have narrowed it down to 2 items I would like to cash my points out for. Here are the reason why I want each effect. Feel...

    Is exposure a significant problem in magic?

    Youtube search "how the Chinese linking rings work." I bet you will find a ton of exposure videos with someone basically just showing you how it works. The Chinese linking rings are a staple effect in my close-up act. Very rarely do I ever have anyone call me out on how they think it works. I...

    Palming with Small Hands

    If you are finding it difficult to hide the card using classic palms you may want to take a look at angled palms like the "cop" or "Perpendicular palm." They may be better for you if you have smaller hands. Another option (as you already have mentioned) is to rely more on misdirection. Lately I...

There is a bit of repeating of ones self on here to make a point. Again, not going to lock the thread but please make sure...

    Is Chris Angel Any Good With Cards

    Like when people ask me "What is your hardest sleight you do?" I usually say than i am not sure be cause most of them are pretty easy lol. My arsenal consists of moves that are easy to perform, low risk and work well in the situation they are used for.

    Is Chris Angel Any Good With Cards

    His skills are about average (intermediate) if you will. Which there is no problem with IMO. You don’t have to be able to perform every sleight in the book to be a good magician. I have seen some amazing performers who only know 3-4 good sleights and have also seen some really bad performers who...

    Burnt out

    Great suggestion above. Maybe focus on another hobby for a bit or just stop working on material from that book. Keep in mind Magic is it about the most difficult technique but rather the one that works best for you. So if a certain technique is taking too much time and energy to learn maybe use...

    Is exposure a significant problem in magic?

    I can see where you are coming from. IMO exposure is only really harmful if yo do not have the rights to expose what you are exposing (said exposure too many times there lol) so for example if I teach “invisible card” by Blake Voght on my channel and did not get permission from him to do is it...
