Here is what the audiences sees: A spectator is asked to think of any thought. It can be a name, a place, a date, a number, a color, any thought at all. A phone number is randomly selected from any phonebook. THERE IS NO FORCE OF THE NAME OR NUMBER FROM THE BOOK! The person is called and...

Hey all. Here's the deal, I'm Diabetic, and have been for a few months now. I always try to make light of my situation as much as possible and was hoping we could have a brain storming session of ideas for effects that could intertwine with Diabetes. I have methods for reveals on my blood...

Part 1: http://forums.theory11.com/showthread.php?t=52 Part 2: EDITING I am going to delve into the art of editing this time around, but I won't act like a spokesperson for specific editing programs (well maybe a couple) because all editing takes is time and patience. A good editor can...

Remember when you were a child? All the games you used to play? You'd be able to create entire worlds just in your imagination. I remember grabbing cap guns and being able to create a whole new world. I'd be party of an army, fighting against the "bad guys". It was incredible, oh how I wish to...

Something I found... http://www.theory11.com/images/theory11-on-myspace-banner.jpg I hope people in black suits don't come to my house and kill me. (Or Dana with a pitchfork). Mitchell

I am going to share with you an experience I had that I will never forget, it was at the beginning of July and was possibly one of my most valuable magic experiences. I am talking about my radio appearance where I did my first live radio headline prediction. It can be seen here...

People often ask, when did you start magic? But when did magic truly become part of you? When did it become your daily routine, when did your magic truly become you? Mitchell

I was listening to the radio earlier today and the talk hosts were talking about brain function and how to keep it in top shape. The first way to keep it in shape was to be creative: Magic expands creativity because of the inventive nature of magic, you always have to switch something in...

On the bus today, I noticed a very suspicious looking guy... he was looking at everyone's arses so I kept my eye on him the entire bus ride. When I got up at my stop, I saw him stretch his arms out once, then he did it again, and as I walked out of the bus he reached into my back pocket and...

Aight homizzle, I be wacking you out with the trippy s*** right now dawg. What turns a spectator off? What will make them want to say no when you approach them? They'll turn you down if you talk like that fo shizzle. First impressions are a must in street magic, just like girls, clients...

A professor at a university gave hour long lectures every day without breaks. Each day he'd have a small paper in front of him that he'd glance down at ever so often. It was intriguing to the students in his class that he could fit hour long lectures onto that small little piece of paper. Every...

I would like to start off by saying that Andrew Mayne is a truly original magician, his work has always intrigued me. Pencil Through Cheek---> The magician takes a pencil, and stabs it through his/her cheek. When it is removed, there is no wound. This trick is so simple, so simple that anyone...

What's normal? ----------------------------------- When performing, there is a big difference between what's normal to YOU, and what's normal to your SPECTATOR. There's a fine line between doing a simple overhand shuffle, and doing some ridiculous six packet cut. What will be going through...

Close your eyes, take a deep breath, and relax... Calm down. It helps from time to time... No matter what you're doing. Mitchell

This was my first coin in bottle purchase because I was always skeptical of all of the others as they all received mixed reviews. I finally decided to pick one up and I'm glad it was Impervious. I don't exactly remember the names of the versions but I will update it once I watch the DVD...

Successful magicians all have one thing in common- they all have a distinctive character, or stage personality. Houdini made his reputation first as the King of Kards, then as the Handcuff King and the Man No Jail Can Hold. So strongly did Houdini make his mark that seventy years after his...

Effect: A spectator select a card and either places it back inside the deck, or inside their pocket. The magician then reports some failures and cannot name the card, he then proceeds to pull out a pamphlet which is titled "Magician's Insurance Policy". He turns it over and reads what it says...

If you are always stuck performing for a measly two people, and the passers by, are well, just... passing by, you may want to change that. If you want people to stop, watch, and stay, read this, some tips will definitely help you! Drawing a crowd is not an easy task, you have to have a...

XB Teaching XB is the best basic XCM training video out there. When I first watched it, I couldn't believe how much I learned the first time I watched it. De'vo, Jerry, Greg Irwin, Daryl, and Jeff McBride go into so much detail for our sake. They go over each move at least 6 times slowly...
