    Original Magic for 99 Cents

    It looks like a good creative exercise and the magic looks alright. I really like your performing style, you look very confident. I just wanted to mention that I'm about 98% sure you've duplicated the slider gimmick by accident. The gumball prediction is very clever though. I think the car...

    Does anybody know the name of this ruse?

    Yeah that might be it but I want to say that article describes something closer to this... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iPZNVnpkHOM&feature=youtu.be

    Does anybody know the name of this ruse?

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CGuIIPbXNZI&feature=youtu.be I stumbled upon this ruse that shows both sides of a business card blank. I want to say that I read it somewhere but I'm not sure about the source. Does anybody know who created it?

    Dan White: The Supernaturalist

    I second the motion that he is the best, David Copperfield and Penn and Teller are the only performers that could ever compete with him in my book.

    Dai Vernon

    I worry that this could be misinterpreted, no Vernon was not the saint many paint him as but he was human. He was a very eccentric person who did what he pleased when he pleased. He was a magician for the "hoity toity" and he got the jobs because he could be polite and likable (Harry Riser...

    Skeptics?

    My dad is a little like that, he insists on being the most difficult spectator possible. I have to be very selective when I perform my magic, for him and everyone else. Some times I just have to step back and say "If you don't want to see the trick like it was intended I can stop now". I do...

    Exposé 2.0 - Thoughts and opinions

    1. The show looks really great, it looks very professional with all the input from the other people on the crew. Contests are always great, but I really want to see videos like the magic con footage, the heros of the wire and live performances from the theory11 team. 2. You should do nothing but...

    What do you magic supplies do you carry?

    I carry an Invisible deck in my back pocket a red deck with one short card and Jay Sankey's Photo Finish in the box. I have 4 coins either 50 cent pieces or dollars. I then have a good red and blue deck in my jacket pockets. I wear my "Unbuttoned" shirt and I might have rubber bands on my wrist...

    Dai Vernon

    I would do a version of triumph after all Dai Vernon is often credited with creating the plot. Chris Kenner teaches 2 versions here on theory11 it's like 5 bucks for the downloads. I could see a slop triumph working well for a large group, it is super simple to perform, it hits hard and it's all...

    Magic podcasts: which are worth listening to?

    magic newswire, scamschool and my favorite although they've stopped recording is gomagicgo. Magic Newswire is geared towards older magicians itricks is alright, not really my taste but they have some good interviews as well.

    Change of Performance Style

    I prefer a more theatrical character driven performance. I think that the thought that goes into developing a character helps a whole lot with the magic performed.

    Flight to Witch Mountain - Alex Elmsley

    Yeah I totally agree, that was something I wasn't expecting. It looks like an interesting routine

    Are Magic Conventions Safe?

    I'd look around for some magic clubs and organizations in your area and start making friends there. Then once you find a few people you trust and relate to you might plan to go as a group. Trips are always fun as a group :)

    FLOW Change by Valdemar Gestur

    Really cool, you're really getting your name out there. I feel like you are one of the super creative the magic world has yet to give enough credit to.

    Newbie from Ottawa!

    Hey, I lived in Ottawa for a little bit, there's an alright magic shop in Gatineau that I visited ever so often when I lived there. Welcome to the forums!

    I don't subscribe to Genii, is there another place to find it?

    The Houdini Magic Edition of Erdnase

    I have that edition, I like it a lot. It's cheap and fairly durable. It is small enough to actually sit in your pocket and it has a small note section. I like my copy but I haven't used any others.

    Title of effect

    That's the best presentation of that effect I think I've ever seen. I've only ever seen it as some sort of a gag, like when Jason Randal did it on Ellen. That effect may be one of the best single arguments for magician making the magic, not the trick.

    theory11 doubles.

    Early David copperfiled reminds me of Bob Saget (Danny Tanner on Full House) For the longest time I thought Sinbad and the Amazing Jonathan were the same guy... I'm not quite sure why... edit: I just realized the title was "theory11 doubles" I guess with a stretch David Copperfield might...
