I built a small end table out of mine using rubber cement and a few rulers as the frame. I did use some full decks of old bikes that I had though, so not just the extras.

I suggest starting off with : Card College Volume 1 : http://www.amazon.com/Card-College-Vol-Sleight-Hand/dp/0945296185 or Royal Road to Card Magic : http://www.amazon.com/Royal-Road-Card-Magic/dp/1466216336/ref=sr_1_3?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1316244463&sr=1-3 These will give you the necessary...

Reading over the threads discussing the Wire that have sprung up over the past two days, there has been a mixture of some negativity, positive attitudes, optimistic opinions, and to be quite honest, questions that could have been answered by just sitting back and thinking over things rationally...

It is actually a piece of wire, with the T11 logo on it. You hang it on your wall. The four years was comparing wire maker companies to see which one would be the most cost effective. I will get a brick of them.

I am starting to think that all of the comments from the T11 crew saying "Think big" is not figurative, but literal. Big things and shipping to Japan sometimes don't mix well >< I still think it is a 1-on-1 skype session with Harry Poter and Hermione Granger.

I completely agree with the above poster - I started writing my post before it was up and am now editing to reply to his comments. Simplicity vs Simpleton is dead on! I do want to mention that finding that right amount of Simplicity to match your content can be extremely difficult and will...

You were doing a classic pass? I didn't notice. All I noticed was you swaying back and forth at the hips for no apparent reason.

Just an FYI What you see on Photoshop is not always what the Business cards end up looking like - especially with Gradient Overlays etc... Keep that in mind.

The idea of performing magic at a spectator kind of goes hand in hand with the outcome of wanting the spectator to walk away thinking that you are amazing, rather than walking away in awe at the fact that something magical just happened. I kind of got the impression you were performing with the...

Magically it wasn't too creative or amazingly, but situationally, it was quite amazing. I was doing magic in the VIP room for the anniversary party of a group called "Hafu" (a group of Half-Japanese people living in Tokyo). I was doing a regular set, and right as I am about to go into...

If this is just something you to do practice, etc... then I think it is nice. If you perform this entire routine, I think it is way too long. You do way more than you need to in order to get your point of the routine across. To a layman, a lot of what you are doing, although different and...

There are indeed many good books out there, but that is no reason to avoid purchasing "Card Fictions". Pit Hartling is a genius at what he does. He has a very unique approach to his work and his insight into various subtleties and straight up theory is amazing. The book has invaluable...

Dreamweaver isn't an auto-site buildier, it is software that organizes your site content, but still requires you to code your own site (for the majority of it - as it does have templates). Thus, you still need to write your own CSS/XHTML/HTML PHP etc... Again, maybe 8 times out of 10, yes...

Looking at the source code, it would be quite simple to move the navigation and title logo to the left side. However, it is not a definite "no no" to have the links on the right side of the page. If you code the page correctly, it does not effect the SEO in any way. In this site, the links on...

The performance speed is perfectly ok, provided that it matches his patter and prep-patter before the trick. Saying "the performance needs to be slown (not a word by the way) down. It's too quick," without any reasoning or without knowing how the performer builds up to the effect, is an easy...

If you have the spare cash, then to each his or her own. If you are struggling to make ends meat and go blow a couple hundred dollars on a deck of Jerry's (or anything that you don't really need for that matter), then you have issues that need resolving.

This move takes a lot of practice to be smooth, accurate, consistant, etc... Try arranging your fingers differently. For example, keep your pinkies on the lower ends of the deck (straddle grip). Tony Chang goes into great detail on this control on his DMV video (T11 Download) and on his...

Incorrect: You do not set up Mnemonica stack with 8 perfect farro shuffles.

Mnemonica is great (mem decks in general actually). The book is a great starting place and gives you a lifetime's worth of material, but it does certainly cater to a lot of table work. To really utilize a mem deck, you really need to start thinking even further outside the box. For...

Take a few moments and stop thinking about the magic side of this endeavor, and let us focus a bit on the business side for a few minutes. In addition to needing routines that you can do 99 times perfectly out of 100 attempts, you will need presence, confidence, and the ability to strike up...
