It's no secret that practice will take you places. Everyone is paving their way in the world of cardistry whether it's practicing an existing flourish or engineering a new one. So what are you working on? I'll start with this: - 1 1/2 deck flip - Backpack - Knacky Hacky Sacky

After picking up a few children's magic kits in thrift stores, I noticed that there's a lot of excess that really don't get used. I mean, 50 magic tricks is a bit overwhelming. I've had the idea of making a children's kit (thinking age 7 and above) that would cut down a lot of excess and have...

I have an idea for a Wire submission. A free 'beginners bundle' that teaches 'Charlier', 'Revolution', and 'Scissor' cuts. As well as teach some fundamentals of various starting grips. would this idea fly on the Wire or would it be outright rejected?

are there plans in the works for a new Theory11 wristband with the new logo?

look alive, you Elite point hoarders! The Archive just put up JAQK blue edition uncut sheets up for grabs. Get 'em while they're hot!

I've been delving into Instagram ever since I started my first Saturday Night Contest on this site and I've noticed that A LOT of people post videos of them doing color changes. But I've noticed that a lot of them require hand coverage/visual block of some sort. This has left me wondering: Of...

Over the last few months, I've been working on about 8 flourishes off & on. Today, I found a 9th one that I must add to my repertoire. That flourish being Andrei Jihk's 'Backpack'. Have you ever been working on a flourish or a few, then stumbled upon one that you HAD to put at the top of your...

As the title suggests, with 'Break' coming out very soon (in which you break and restore a signed coin). I have one question: Are you intending to use it?

It's no secret that the 'Players deck is a marked deck of cards. I think it's one of the best decks Theory11 has put out there. That said, I have a question in regards to performing with them: If you were to utilize the gimmick in a performance, is it practical to use In terms of how far away...

I was practicing Raise Rise the other day and I had the thought of, 'maybe this isn't the kind of magic I want to do.' I love knuckle busting difficult stuff. But if much rather do magic in which the spectator makes the magic happen. Like a step further than the magic happening in their hands...

Let's get some more discussion going! Cardistry engineers, I have a question directed specifically to you: Was/is there something that inspired you to create your flourish? Or helped in the creation of one of your flourishes? Or something that has now inspired you to start making your own...

All right, the other day, the missus and I were doing a food run for everyone helping us pack for our move. We had everything together and we made a sharp turn to get onto a busy street. The turn startled me and I dropped a sweet tea all over a deck of Bicycle Rhapsodys that I lost 3 days...

I'm working on a project and I'm intending to utilize a 'Spreadwave' type display. I don't know the gimmick of Mathieu Bich's 'Spreadwave' nor am I attempting to try and probe for what it is--my question is about the reveal cards themselves: For those who have the effect. Since each card has...

Let's get some discussion going! The great thing about the cardistry community is that every individual is relentlessly working on something. Whether is be a particular move, making one of their own, or even have a particular goal they are working towards; no one is settling down for 'good...

What do you consider to be the building block cuts and deck holding grips of cardistry? Also, how does one know if a particular cut is within public domain? I consider the Charlier, Revolution, and Scissor cuts to be the 3 'building blocks'. Should there be any others? Am I wrong is my...

Let me say this. I love using prop magic and what you can do with them to make a helluva routine. So, I have an effect that requires a force using 4 (and only) cards. And someone gave me the idea of using Magicians Choice. I've been searching around the wastelands of Google and I have the...

Just saw this pop up for you Elite point hoarders: Copper Rarebit decks! I know that for some of you, this is up your alley! Points doesn't seem TOO shabby for them.

Oi vey, I've been asking for virtually every type of flourish under the sun. I have another request: One-handed display flourishes. See, my left hand has been injured since February and I still can't do two handed flourishes with the left hand (Been working on Ian Chandlers 'Acrobatic' and I...

I've been working on this move for nearly two months this now and, quite frankly, I can't make the move look good at all. I have had the speed for a good month now. I'm past the point to where it doesn't bust my knuckles and hurt after a few consecutive runs. But I can't make it look as...

So I'm working on a bunch of two-handed cardistry moves for a project and I've noticed a lot of things: 1) I've noticed that one drops the deck A LOT less. This it a bit relieving as a lot of the one handed stuff I've been working on for the last...well, ever; lands on the floor. Then again...
