Hey everyone, my wife and I are planning on going on a cruise when we graduate from college next year. I was just wondering if there was a way to see who is performing on what cruise ships. I know that Shawn Farquar and Justin Flom performed on some of Disney's cruises but I really want to know...

Hey everyone, There is always an ongoing conversation over weather magic is an art or not. For myself I think that magic can be an art, it is a way to express emotion. I like examples so I've included three very different effects all of which I believe to be art because of their ability to...

Hey everyone! I am a big fan of Paul Harris but have yet to add anything of his to my magic library. I'd like to purchase one of his Art of Astonishment books but I really need some magic that can be performed in a stand up setting for a small group up to stage. Which of his books would you...

Hey everyone I just had my effect Matchless approved for release on the Wire. It's been a while in the making and I perform it all the time. I went out and filmed this with a friend earlier this year but unfortunatley it wasn't right for the Wire because of format problems. It's a shame to have...

Hey Guys I've been wanting to do this every since the Wire was released. I want to see what the best effect on the wire is according to you! It has been just over a year since the Wire was launched and it would be interesting to see what you think is the best. Now, when making a poll on a...

Hey all you awesome film pros! I have some footage of a couple live performances but no matter what I do when I publish the videos on Windows Live Movie maker it adds black bars on the left and right. The reason I post it here is because the Wire team won't accept it with those bars. How do I...

Hey everyone, I'm still kinda new to coin magic in general and just had a couple questions. I'm currently working on Francis Menotti's "Two Sides of Every Coin" routine and every time I remove or replace the shell I get a different sounding *clink*. It's the sound of the shell hitting the...

There have been a whole bunch of threads on this and for good reason. Theory11 is distributing false information and it has been false since day one of the Wire. When an artist submits a trick to the Wire they are told. "Within 72 hours, you'll receive an automated email to notify when your...

With all of the torn and restored card plots out there it gets me wondering why would anyone want regeneration by Blake Vogt? There are a ton of TNRs out there and theory11 has a whole bunch for sale. There's a handling by Mathieu Bich, Blake already has one out and there are a couple by Wire...

I'm currently taking a class in French Cinema at the local university and a clip that we watched really interested me so I thought I'd share. For those of you who have watched the film Hugo you know about George Melie. He was a magician who turned film director right as the technology was...

Hey everyone, I just came across this video and it is very interesting. I found a couple good nuggets and thought it was worth sharing. http://video.pbs.org/video/1757229644

Hey, all I'm just curious. There have been quite a few threads started from new artists ready to put a new trick on the Wire. For many of those it looks like they will never be published on the Wire. At first glance I assumed that it was just taking a long time to put the trick together or that...

In the magic world there are 2 basic ways to classify a magic trick, by method and by effect. For example Harry Anderson's Mismade Bill and Jay Sankey's Traveling expenses have the same method but the effect is completely different. On the opposite end of things a false transfer and a french...

Somebody mentioned that it might be a good idea to poll this. It may be helpful for some. I've pulled the color changes from a thread that I started earlier this month. Because of size constraints I had to exclude a couple. I tried to include only the color changes that aren't part of a larger...

At our local club meeting yesterday a young magician was discussing some popular new magic. I took interest and began talking with him. It came out eventually that he had downloaded the magic illegally. I immediately was put off and showed my disgust. To my surprise a couple others that were...
