    Right Rubberbands?

    I use alliance as well. size 19. It's not too often that you'll need a size other than 19, but hey, it happens sometimes, but 19s can do most anything.

    Failure

    See, that there is the key. I often see people asking how to handle these situations. And become impressed with how certain professionals naturally handle such situation, but the truth is, there's not a set standard for what to do. It only comes from experience. One of my favorite effects to...

    Failure

    I shouldn't let it bother me as much as it does, but it sickens me to see the state that we are in. We are quick to ask what the answers to a problem are without experimenting first. "What would happen if..." "Would it work if..." "how would they react if..." "Can this really be pulled off...

    Raven

    not workable? that's called lazy. The raven works well. In my opinion. if it's set properly, it works wonder. Does there have to be some work put into the routine? yes. You're going to have to probably switch a coin. But it's worth the effect.

    Learning the muscle pass & it hurts bad

    The advice to settle down is accurate... but also, check your positioning to mand sure that you have hit that sweet spot. as your palm heals the muscles will get stronger and the skin will get tougher so it won't pinch quite as much and it will become a natural action. Keep at it. its a very...

    Over coming the fear of performing in public.

    Have an outline for what you're going to say. You'll notice that as you get more comfortable you'll be able to ad lib. It's very important that you are able to just go with it... That's what make social skills very important. Knowing how to keep a conversation going will do you wonders. Your...

    Over coming the fear of performing in public.

    just do it. when I joined the army I had a fear of performing. even for friends and family. In time, I started going on guard duty. In hand was a deck of cards. I slowly began to perform nightly for other soldiers. my fear slowly went away. you develop confidence through performing. Just like...

    My Philosophy of Creating and Sharing Magic Tricks

    I spent a great portion of my live working all hours of the day to get into Juilliard. But those weren't the cards that were dealt to me. Somehow the card dealer went by the stage name of Uncle Sam. When people ask what I do (aside from being a soldier), rather than choose between the two, I say...

    My Philosophy of Creating and Sharing Magic Tricks

    Much the same could be said about songwriting or composing. love the fact you brought up chopin. classical music runs deep in my blood from the many many years of studying the art. So its always a nice breath of fresh air to see brought up. but anyway. to put in short... the creator cannot...

    First and foremost, welcome to the site. Theory11 is more than just a site. It's a family. Unlike many sites out there, Theory11 prides itself on a personal connection with its members.

    The Most Natural Card Force?

    The classic force is what I've found to be the most natural force. It's always a great success feeling when the force goes as planned so it's fun to do. Like mentioned before, if it doesn't go your way, just move on to another effect. But how perfect is it when you can just offer the cards as...

    Smoke

    You have nothing to worry about with the gimmick. It is a wonderfully constructed piece of equipment that will never lead to suspicion so as you use it as instructed. If you don't draw any attention to it, it will go unnoticed as just another every day item.

    I Dare You

    I dare you, for a few minutes out of your day today. Put down the cards and focus on this post. Then I dare you to think about your life. And then I dare you take the words "I can't" out of your vocabulary and start doing something about your dreams. I double dog dare you. This little exercise...

    What are your Favorite Gags?

    Know what you can pull off. There is a thin line with humor where it can be obnoxious or really funny. At the same time, you don't want to distract from the effect itself. And like mentioned, it's very important that you don't steal other gags just because you find them funny. There's a chance...
