    From the Street to the Stage...

    Hey guys, I've been doing close-up magic (stuff from T11 and E) ever since I started about 2 years ago this summer. I've never done any stage magic and was wondering what it would take to get some (at least one) stage illusions in my repertoire. I was looking around eBay and found Snap...

    Say What?

    Hey guys, I just got done performing for the second time ever to a group of random strangers... It went alright, but it could have been better. I'm glad I did it because I got some useful knowledge from the whole thing. 1.) KNOW what you're gonna do. (I went blank right after a few tricks...)...

    Yeah, I know it's a weird question...

    Ok, I've been looking at this guy for a while now... On the home page of Theory 11, in the Theory 11 preview window to the left, (before you hit play) there's a blury-looking collage kind of thing with someone's face in the upper right corner... Who is that? Is that Dan White doing a Jones...

    Advice for my first magic gig?

    Hey guys, Sorry if this has already been posted, but I searched the forums three times with no dice... Anyway, I got my first gig! It's at a high school graduation party in early May, so I've got plenty of time to get some tricks together... The only thing is: I have NO IDEA what I'm gonna...

    An Intimate Evening Of Grand Illusion

    Last night I saw a legend. David Copperfield. Yes, David Copperfield in Atlanta, Georgia. I went to his show expecting some of the classics of stage magic and went in thinking it would be good, but nothing more than a great Metamorphosis, or an underwater escape, or something. Something I've...

    How Is It Made?

    The following is for any and all Theory 11 artists and/or Big Cheeses (and for anyone else who just want's to know like me...): Here at Theory 11, it's all about quality. Not quantity. But what goes into making quality magic to make it, well, quality? How long does it take to produce a great...

    Inventing Flourishes

    Hey guys, Let's say you've worked on a new, original flourish and you're ready to show it off as your own. How do you know if it's completely original? Is it okay if it's a variation of another flourish? How can you make it your own? (As in copyrights...) Pandora (found in Dan and Dave's the...

    Speech on Magic...

    Hey guys, I've got to do an informative speech next week and I have no idea what I'm gonna talk about. My professor says to talk about something you are really interested in or something you have a passion for and have no problem giving a five minute speech about. Yeah, magic did come to...

    How Do You Create Magic?

    Hey guys (and gals), I thought I'd post a thread on how to create magic. My apologies if this was already a thread- I searched for it and found nothing. I've been working a new effect this week and I've got a few different methods and I'll have to play around with it to get it the way I want...

    Control - Whose feet?

    So, who's feet are on the cover of control? Where did that idea of a tag on a toe come from? Pretty cool cover, though. By the way, when is Theory 11 releasing Invisible Spray? Looks pretty sick!

    For those who own Distortion...

    If you own Wayne Houchin's Distortion, can you please PM me? I've got a rather delicate question- If I asked it here I'm certian it would be considered exposure... Thanks, -Matt

    Why you simply NEED to perform...

    I've been practicing mostly flourishes from DanandDave's Trilogy, and the occasional trick. (2CM, Card to Mouth) I find out one of my classes is cancelled and I head to the game room to burn some time. I ran into the most perfect opportunity to do some magic. I knew if I passed it up...

    Card Stab

    Ok. I've been really inspired by Switchblade... Anyone know a good card stab that even compares to that one? Is Switchblade even for sale? I'm not really interested in a card stab where all the cards are scattered on the table and you pull out a knife... Everyone's seen that one, considering...

    Media Section Downloads for iPod/PSP

    Is it just me or are there some really good videos in the Media Section? How much cooler would they be if they were available for your iPod or PSP? Would there be any legal technicalities to work around to make that possible? Portable inspiration. Media Section Downloads exclusively at...

    Theory11 Vodcast

    Hey guys, I was just eating some cereal, thinking about how great Theory 11 is, and I got this idea- Theory 11 should have a vodcast once a month. It could feature news, updates, release dates, the top media of the month video, contests, etc. I would definitely subscribe. Would you?

    Advantages and Disadvantages...

    I've been dying to do some magic, but... my shyness is getting the best of me. I'm a freshman in college and I've been in class for about 4 days now. No one really knows me here and I'm not really one to become a die-hard clique member. I want to be known for who I am, not who I hang out with...
