Yup, the best thing is that no-one will disturb you while you're reading it :D Tom

There are two that I like a lot. Torn by DG, tiny set-up, nice visual aspect and not that difficult. Signed card is completely resored and handed out immediately. The other one I like is Tommy Wonder's handling of Paul Harris' Ultimate Rip-Off. You can find it in The Books of Wonder but...

You really got me with that last one, nice work! Tom

If you want some ungimmicked methods check out Fred Robinson's Ambitious Riser move, probably best taught by Ray Kosby on 'Impossible Card Magic' though admittedly it's not taught in the context of a rising card effect, still, should be obvious enough how to use it. Chris Kenner also has a...

I've got one of the first editions. It's a great book, you'll love it. It's also the weirdest magic book I own... you'll see what I mean soon enough. Tom

I think it looks very nice, but before you jump to release it because you've had some good feedback, please, for your own sake, do these two things. Check for similar methods already in print. I think you're probably ok on this, but it's still worth checking out. Don't overprice it, this is the...

It might be credited, but considering T11 is constantly going on about revolutionising magic and getting people to learn stuff the right way, wouldn't a point in the direction of royal road be far more helpful than flogging just one of the tricks in that book for half the price the book retails...

You mean by doing all the same things that other sites are doing and selling effects that either the artists themselves or someone else has sold before? Theory 11 is nice, but it's not significantly better than the next magic site. Tom

Lee Asher was right, but that doesn't mean someone can simply bang three effects on a site and that's everyone sorted. Finding those three perfect effects will take a lot of time and require knowledge from a number of resources. In the same way, what might be a graet trick for you, might be...

Not that I want to perpetuate an already over discussed topic, but... They both sell single effects on DVD at around $30 a time. They both sell their own brand of clothing (how this will advance magic is beyond me) They are both aiming their services at the same market, just one uses the...

Hey Guys, I got this recently and thought I would share my thoughts on it. The Routine/Method The routine is slightly different to the one explained in 'Totally Out of Control'. This change has (I'm assuming) been made to make the effect ideal for beginners, it does however mean that the...

As I pointed out in my earlier post, what possible advantage is there to gain by faking a deck of cards which noone has heard of before. The reason people fake a product is to boost sales through people looking for that particular brand. Also, you are completely wrong. At the time Jerry's...

I don't deny for a second that there are immature people on E and in fact all the forums around, but you should always be very careful in generalising a group of people. There are magicians on those forums who are incredibly experienced and a few very successful ones too. Don't be so quick to...

Interesting choice of effect seeing as Wayne, one of the head honchos over here was one of the most involved in the production and marketing of Stigmata. I personally think Wayne did a fine job with it. T11 will make 10000 in 8 days, a little over a week, so that argument doesn't work, though...

I think the best way to get a crowd is to first approach a group of people if possible, I think it tends to be harder if you only approach 1 person at first. Then get people walking by involved 'excuse me, do you have a minute? Could you pick a card' etc. etc. Once people start to realise that...

If the moderation rules on E are stopping people from posting this garbage then I for one am all for it. Thank you for wasting 2 minutes of my life longman. Tom

I appreciate your concern Dave but over here I can get bikes for about $3 a pack and free shipping. Once you add shipping from the states and import tax I can't see T11 beating that. In addition to all that it takes longer so... Tom

I couldn't care less for the rest of this thread, but let me just say now, that books are actually very important if you want to be a decent magician. Not only is the majority of better material found in books, but almost all of the theory, presentation and showmanship ideas are too. Tom

I, too, would love to see T11 breed a new generation of super magicians. However I think that at the moment that is wishful thinking. Thanks for the discussion. Tom

I agree, you can't become a magician in hours, but what you have to remember is that ellusionist is a business at the end of the day. They realise (as does this site, go see for yourself) that flashy trailers and people screaming will sell magic. Sure theory 11 has all this advice on...
