I've been racking my head and looking everywhere and I can't figure it out. I need to find a one-handed flourish. Reason is that I'm trying to do a one-shot of 3 one-hand flourishes, back to back. I have one flourish ('Muse Cut'), but I can't find seem to blend any flourishes that flow right...

A big thanks to everyone that’s been reading and throwing feedback about these zany ramblings every Tuesday. They are fun to write and I’m glad they are well received. Speaking of fun, here’s a Tenyo that’s more fun than a pencil in the eye! PSYCHIC MONEY Inventor: Tomoyushi Shimomura Year...

All right. These contests are funny; making fake reveals/tutorials of tricks on Theory11 to combat illegal exposure. What is funnier are the responses in the YouTube comments. So with that in mind, here's my question: what is the funniest response you have received in one of your fake reveal...

Good morning everyone! It’s Tuesday! You know what that means? It’s now TENYO TUESDAY! Get excited! Last week, we did a review on a very minimalistic effect that utilized a pen. So this week, let us review another ‘pen’ effect that utilizes enough props to make Carrot Top blush. IMPOSSIBLE...

I’m going to try doing a weekly review of sorts every Tuesday. Just because Tuesday is really the only day that sounds catchy with ‘Tenyo’. I love prop based magic. Especially Tenyo Magic. I think it’s an absolute blast creating routines and sets around entire prop based effects. And I...

I didn't want to hijack Bryant Tsu's thread, so here we go. I have a packet trick that utilizes 25 cards. I want to get more audience involvement, and the best idea I can come up with is to utilize a bottom deal. Can't really explain much of the details as it'll give away the method. But I...

I want to start making product reviews in this subsection, but I am a bit perplexed as what I should be adding as far as 'ease of readability' goes. So far, I have a couple reviews saved on my computer, but the I feel that both of them could be vastly better. They are a few paragraphs, and I...

Ah! That good feeling you get when you effectively troubleshoot a part of a flourish that has been hanging you up for a while. I figured out what has been hanging me up with @Andrei 's 'Backpack' for a bit and was able to finally pull it off a lot more consistently. Anyone else get that...

Happy Fourth of July, Theory11 forum-goers. Have a safe and fun going this weekend! Just don't flourish too close to firecrackers

I initially posted something like this in the Cardistry section, but I think it can be applied to just generally everyone. I just want to see if more people would be interested in joining along and see if something like this is better to post here or in just the cardistry sub-forum: The idea...

I'm coming Close to acquiring the props necessary to complete 2 of my sets for the children's hospital. I understand that a bevy of props does not make a good magician. Gives variety, yes. However, I've been very very selective of what I do get. Namely because I wouldn't be able to afford a...

I know I asked in another thread about how your month of June went for cardistry. I'm going to keep tabs every month starting this month. The idea is that we can make a list of monthly goals (cardistry or otherwise) to challenge ourselves, see how much our plans change (if they do), or...

For all you dads--and soon to be dads on the forums; happy Father's Day to you and your families.

All right. I keep seeing this pop up as a beginners move. I can't get it right after almost 2 months of working on it. Doesn't mean that others aren't able to. But I pose this: Is this essential for beginners? Or is this an 'extracurricular' flourish that's nice, but one can go about...

All right. This is in effort to help new cardists with learning a sort of 'beginners set' of moves. I know Reddit has a sort of beginners set already. But I want to go a little beyond that by going into explanations as to WHY that cut should be learned. I am also NOT looking at the Reddit...

I've been in magic for almost a year now and I'm very much into prop magic. One term that I see often is 'utility' or 'utility prop' Now, I just acquired a bevy of Tenyo items and a few of them seem to fall under the 'utility' classification: Namely: a card case, rattle box, and a pea can (or...

Does anyone know where I can find the tutorial for a one handed fan/'dragon tail' fan tutorial? I've seen a couple videos of it being performed, but no such luck for the tutorial. Any of you experienced sorts know?

I made a recent post about how taking a course in art and art interpretation would do nothing but help any and every cardist. I understand that some of you do not have the access to an art or art interpretation class. But we all have access to the Internet. Otherwise, you wouldn't be reading...

Theory11 has a lot to view on the 'Magic Tricks' part of their site. What you may not know is that there are a few hidden flourishes buried in the depths. 'Backpack' is one of them. Normally, when people talk about Andrei Jihk, they know of him by the famed Genesis series. 'Backpack' is...

All right, cardistry community, let's talk. I've been speaking with another member over various issues with the cardistry community as a whole, the multimedia aspect, and how to possibly better the individual cardist. Up until a few days ago, whenever someone asked me about cardistry and...
