Some really funny stuff tonight.

Hey, just thought I'd post some feedback on the 10/25 contest (it hasn't ended yet). I really like video contests where we have to perform magic. It gives us a chance to show off our chops and see what everyone's working on. I would really like more like this, but my only hope is that you...

Hey man, that's not cool. Just think about what you're saying...

OK, so here's my performance of Redline. I would first like to state that I would have loved to do this for a live audience, however I was working off of my webcam and not a video camera, and it's parent's weekend here at Bard College, so not too many people are around. Second, I'd like to...

That's Shifty, isn't it? The real S.W. Elevator uses S.W.E. shifts, I believe.

Whatever it is, it's probably a ripoff. If you're having trouble tying loops, just use a double figure 8 knot. Basically you connect the ends together with tape and pretend it's one piece of thread. You tie the knot like a regular one, but you go around twice before you go through the hole...

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little disappointed, but I can definitely wait another week, especially if we're getting something for Dan Hauss. Remember, T11 does this for us. I think it's not too much to ask for a little patience. Besides, we all know it's going to be good.

I would also recommend purchasing some infinity thread and tying your own loops. Also, for those of you who tie your own loops, here's a tip for what I do. I use a knot similar to the double figure 8, but since the loop ends are so small, I just tape the ends together and tie a double...

Commercial was the second 1-on-1 I ever purchased and I am very pleased with it. I use both of the moves nearly every time I do magic. Even if you already have the Trilogy, it goes into more detail on both moves. I highly recommend this.

I mean, don't get me wrong, I don't think it's impractical at all, but as with most gimmicks, I would probably only carry it around with me if I knew I was going to be performing it (as was the case, clearly, with David Blaine).

What's the impromptu factor on this? Is this something I can carry with me or do I even need to carry anything? Also, what's the bonus effect?

What disappointment I felt when clicking on this thread expecting to find a review and only to discover a request for one...

I just worked out a handling and it looks pretty good. It basically just uses ratcheting, but I think the impossibility factor is ramped up considering I'm using a pen that should just snap in half when bent.

Hey man. Welcome to T11. From the looks of it, you've already got your bearings on magic. You've got some nice chops and smooth moves. Hope to see more. --Ben Long

Actually, if you don't mind, I'd love to use that idea. You could do a "rubber pen" gag and then the pen actually melts in the middle.

Let's just say it's not something I would carry around with me day to day.

They lie, cheat, and biddle steal.

MY DVD just arrived today, so I thought I'd post my initial thoughts. It's a pretty short DVD, clocking in around 15 minutes (give or take). This is not to say that it's bereft of information, but rather to imply that the effect is pretty simple once you're set up. Almost everything that is...

Visual tricks are great--your spectator actually sees the magic happening. But there is truly something to be said for undercover tricks. When the veil is lifted, the magic almost becomes more real. What the magician says is happening really does seem to happen, but with the curtain down, a...
