Who told you?! Ha - I wish it was that. The dove pan used to be my number one stunner when I was starting out in magic.

In August of 2007, a team of eleven individuals joined forces and revealed a secret that was closely guarded for six months. That secret was theory11. Our goal from the beginning was to promote unity, collaboration, and advancement of an artform. We have miles to go before we sleep. We are far...

I loved tonight's submissions! Each of these was very well done and very fun to watch. Some thoughts: chriswiehl, your mom's coin bend was awesome! Rneogy, your presentation was a great fit for this contest, and showed an apparent triumph of technical skill. Malibu, it looks like you need an...

You are 100% correct!

Sure - your method does not need to be visible. To the camera, it can and should look like you have superhuman skills, strength, or abilities.

If you have a magical method (invisible thread) at work in doing so, perhaps - what we're looking for it something that APPEARS to be a simple display of skill or strength, but in reality, you are using a secretive method. I cited the coin bend example previously, but you could also apparently...

That is exactly what we're looking for. It should LOOK like a display of skill, but in reality it should be a magic method. Taking the example of bending a coin, it LOOKS like you have super human strength and are literally bending the coin. In reality, deception is at work.

For centuries magicians have performed incredible demonstrations of skill or strength utilizing deception and trickery rather than genuine ability. We felt this concept could serve as inspiration for this week's Saturday Night Contest. Your task tonight is to film any demonstration of skill or...

This was an amazing experience - absolutely phenomenal.

We review every single submission we receive. Submissions should be sent to submissions@theory11.com. We prefer video submissions - it makes it very easy for us to quickly gauge interest in your creation. For privacy, you can upload the video to a site like www.drop.io instead of YouTube to keep...

Soon... soon.

I love how this adventure has unfolded. Jamie, very well done. The idea was brilliant and the execution flawless. Congratulations.

Hmmm... the man in the arena is the one who puts themselves out there. That dares to fight. That takes a chance. That creates. That acts. I am far from the first to relate the quote to a creative context. Nevertheless, you are absolutely correct that vision is subjective and there exist as many...

We are working on something special that may help with this... ;)

"It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by the dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes...

Time is up and the podcast has been posted! We had a great 25 minute discussion answering many of the questions you guys directly asked. We discussed topics ranging from being a creative consultant to Criss Angel to how Luke got started in magic. Listen to it now HERE. Tonight's prize, as...

Keep 'em coming - we will begin recording in a few minutes! All questions are fair game - with topics from Criss Angel to the creative process. Hit us with your best shot and we'll try to answer as many as possible.

Welcome back! I feel like a homecoming ceremony is in order. Therefore, I hereby pronounce Jason England to be our homecoming queen.

Just to add a note in correction - Squeezers were not in any way affected in recent months. The last printing was not too long ago - 2007 or 2008 - and they are about to run another production soon. They should not be too difficult to obtain now or in near future.

They moved to a new facility in Kentucky and a brand new printing press. Both of those facts are good news. Their old facility was run down and smelled like cabbage and asbestos. They were well overdue for an upgrade. They sold their old press to a different company under the agreement that it...
