I'm gearing up to send the hats of Theory11 my first flourish tutorial. And man, making a spoken tutorial has been an absolute painstaking process. It's not like I don't know the flourish, but it seems like I keep messing up what I want to say in between each take. One shorting the entire...

Look alive, boys and girls. The Archive just got updated: 500 - NEW Theory11 logo wristbands 3500 - Blue JAQK decks 5000 - Uncut Black JAQK sheet

Little bit of backstory. ‘Security Lock’ was actually going to be the first Tenyo Magic trick I would review for these ‘TENYO TUESDAYS!’. Because I didn’t have a solid definitive writing style (at least, ANY sort of format to writing reviews) and the fact that it’s a bit of a weird trick to...

Green Monarchs is now the third deck I have acquired from the lovely chaps at Theory11 (the other 2 being Mystery Box & NoMad). The deck feels like it has a different finish than the Mystery Box and NoMads. The above two seem to need to be 'broken in' a bit, whereas the Green Monarchs can...

I apologize! Usually, I post these 10 minutes after midnight his Tuesday morning out of excitement. I HEAVILY underestimated how difficult this review would actually be and I finished the review JUST NOW! It doesn’t help that I’ve been bogged down with my cardistry project and birthday...

It's always a fun question to ask every now and again. Very straight forward, especially with the Holiday Wheel rolling in...pun intended, sorry. Those crazy Elite Points you're (hopefully) stocking up, what are you saving up for? I'll start by saying I want to get the 8K Cardistry Session...

Oi vey, this cardistry…card manipulation project I have going on is driving me nuts. I put myself on a time crunch and I want it done before the end of the year. I’m working on it 3 hours a night working on 3-4 new flourishes, breaking in 5 decks, and polishing what I already know. The...

I have made myself incredibly busy lately. I normally post the ‘Tenyo Tuesday!’ at 0001 on Tuesday night…morning? Because I’m so excited. However, I’ve been trying to work on my first cardistry video, and I found myself working the cards for, I’m not kidding, FOUR straight hours. And managed...

I'm venturing outwards to more prop magic and I stumbled upon this little wonder. For anyone that has 'Overstuft', is it worth it? Do the props handle well? Are they durable? Fragile? Angle issues? It looks neat, but I want to make sure I make the best educated decision before I make the...

So I recently received my tote & table for my children's hospital show. There's a little less than a dozen zippers on it, and I got the idea to outfit all the zippers with magic tricks that could attach to each of the zipper leads. My problem: I'm clueless to what all is out there! Fa-da...

Yeah, it's 9 days into October. But hey! Why not? So, cardists, what are you working on? Project? Tutorial? Video? New flourishes? Something else? For me, I'm working on my first video. It's not the project I was working in, but I have an idea that I'd much rather work on as sort...

This week, it’s exciting to be back doing business in the way these reviews originally selected Tenyo to review: throwing darts at scrap pieces of paper with various names of Tenyo written on them. If I’m able to read the papers that is. My hand writing looks like I was incarcerated for 15...

We! Are! Back! We tried something new for the last month. ‘What is it?’ You ask? We dumped a months worth of Ritalin in the air conditioning system. I’m lazy and want to breathe in my meds like Bane. The result is that we ACTUALLY focused on a cohesive theme for a solid FOUR WEEKS. The...

All right. I've been looking into some other Tenyo to try and make more interesting. Namely, Vault Vision. Goes as follows: I give the audience an ungaffed penny, nickel, and quarter. They put one in the box, without me looking and hand it back to me. From there, I can predict the correct...

I've had the missus laptop today and I've been viciously reading 'Our Magic' by Maskelyne. First off. Let me say that the first part regarding 'Art' left me feeling like someone lit my hair on fire. You kind of get this impression that everything you have done in magic, up to the point of...

I know that this trick is an oldie, but is there such a thing as a 'Scotch & Soda' routine that will allow you to use any coins you want? Or is this untapped/impossible territory?

What is this buffoonery? It's a ‘NOT-so-Tenyo Tuesday!’ to round out the last several weeks of ghost-ish/invisible theme to celebrate the release of Theory11’s ‘Invisible Card’. I’ve dug deep and I’ve reviewed pretty much the gambit of Tenyo supernatural tricks (save for ‘Ghost Puzzle’...

I've since decided that I'm going to halt trying to push and get my first video done this year. Instead, I just want to try my hand at polishing more of what I know and discovering newer flourishes in the process. However, I need help from the cardistry community. I need help finding more...

Continuing with the ‘maybe-I-did-this-too-soon-before-Halloween’ ghost/invisible theme (in lieu of the release of ‘Invisible Card’) is Tenyo Magic’s: ‘Phantoma’! Otherwise known in Japan (phonetically) as ‘Ghostu Housu’. This one has been quite the bugger as I’ve spent the last two weeks...

I have an interest in 'Sub Rosa' once again. But this time, it's for an odd purpose. the board game 'Monopoly'. Now I know that we are not about card cheating. To be quite fair, I am not about to use what I am about to explain for myself. I am going to only use it on those who deserve it and...
