This is on Dan and Dave's trilogy. It's on the Everything else DVD. It's called the click change.

I'm curious too. If a deck of cards isn't organic than that would make me think that sponge bunnies, 50 cent pieces, and pads of paper would be inorganic as well. It's tough for me to imagine a routine like that. I never thought of it as strange for a magician to have a deck of cards.

I think the only context that I've been asked this in is in the "Can you do more than card tricks? Can you levitate? Can you make me disappear?". Most the time I take this as a compliment that they liked what I showed them and they'd like to see more they just don't know how to explain it in...

Here's a two handed spread that is taught on Dan and Dave's site. http://www.dananddave.com/learn/media/card-spread/

If they are honest and sincere I try to mirror that and be as honest as possible. "I started doing magic when I was very young. This is a version of the legenday so and so's, such and such" I find if I can get a little history of the effect out that will satisfy most the time. I don't have to...

Here in the US I get mine from a local mine. They give jumbo coins as souvenirs. I don't know if it would be possible to contact a mine in the UK that would do the same???

Haha, I heard somewhere that after showing his stuff to some friends he came back to that room to find his Mayan idol missing with only a bag of sand in its place. I'm still waiting for my wife to let me get a life size carbonite statue of Harrison Ford.

I don't mean to bump this but in my search for Copperfield's house I found these on Chris Kenner's. I know there were some pictures of his house posted a while ago but I'm pretty sure these are new. Anyways weather or not they are new they're still worth looking at. I like the James Bond Poster/...

They give very minimal feedback and only when it is necessary. Things pertaining to originality, teaching quality on the tutorial or clarity in the performance. They will choose if your effect is good enough to be placed on the facebook page, or on the "featured" section of the wire. They asked...

I submitted 4 or 5 effects to the Wire before Theory11 deemed one original enough. These are effects that I use daily and they are not in print anywhere. For instance I have an effect that prints something on an envelope in a spectators hand. It was rejected because I use the top change to do...

Yeah, thanks Craig. I realize it's pretty out of date and a lot has changed since. I just remember a lot of pretty cool stuff on that episode and it would be nice to get a good look at it again :)

Back when I was in High School I used to watch one of those shows about celebrities homes. I don't think it was Celebrety Homes and Hideaways but it was something like it. Well I remember one episode in particular that I only caught the tail end of. It was David Copperfield's home! I...

Yeah, I love being fooled! I try to be very careful of what magic I learn because I enjoy not knowing it all. I just love being fooled! When others perform magic poorly I find myself fuzzing out my eyes just to miss the secret :)

To the both of you, can we expect any special products or WIRE contributions from you?

Christen Why would you ever come from NASA to hang out with us geeks here at Theory11?

Christen and Rob what got you guys started in magic?

For most of these situations I don't do anything. I usually say "Not now, I'll do something sometime, when the moments right". I like to perform on my terms, not the terms of someone else. If I had a potential gig to gain though I would Shinkoh's twisting arm or the thumbs up effect that so many...

Get out and perform for real people. Your performance lacks a bit, but really, trial and error while performing will determine what the spectator reacts to. Your sleights are flawless if you want feedback, get a sharpie and work on your presentation.

When I'm bored I usually pull out an old book like Expert at the Card Table, Royal Road, Expert Card Technique or D&D's trilogy. There's tons of material between those resources so I'll look for a routine or an effect that looked difficult in the past and work through it slowly to make sure I...
