I feel a bit sheepish asking about this, since one-handed stuff is what I work on. I'm working on a project and lining up some moves to utilize for it. Here's the thing: I NEED a two-handed cardistry move. Difficulty and cliche-ness be damned. I probably lack A LOT of basics about two...

I am completely fascinated by the works of Rene Lavand and has a lot of techniques I would like to learn from. The problem is that his works are rather costly to obtain (at least if you have a rather constrained budget). So I am in a dilemma: Which one do I get first? The Maestro DVD set and...

I started my first day of vestibular rehabilitation therapy on Saturday and it was...interesting. didn't really know what to expect from it. It was taxing, to say the least. A lot of the exercises involved shifting my eyes from one target to another. Others involved keeping my gaze on a...

Two videos in the media section have 'Cardistry with a deeper meaning' in the short description of their videos. Which brings me to a question: What DOES give cardistry a deeper meaning? Is it the music? Is it the speed of the flouris(es)? Is it something different or hasn't been done yet?

I was thinking the other day about tricks that don't involve any physical gimmicks and I thought of a crazy idea that sounds feasible, but would take a lot of time working on. The result is this question: I figure this has already been done in some capacity, but is there a trick out there...

I've been noticing more and more odd things with the Theory11 site when I'm usin g IPhone 6--Safari 1) I CANNOT create a new thread on mobile--at all. 2) I cannot use the quick reply function at all either. I have to reply to someone, erase all the text, and THEN I am able to create a reply...

I'm in the process of acquiring the tricks necessary to do a strolling set at a children's hospital. One of the tricks involves taking a flat disk, and then turning this disk into a coin. What I was thinking for the routine is that I take the flat disk, toss the coin into the air, then catch...

First off, I'm rather new to magic; 7 months to be exact. While there is endless literature to be had for magic--especially card magic. The thing I'm wondering is not what tricks are essential, but that EFFECTS are essential. What SHOULD a magician know in terms of card magic effects. As of...

I have developed a rather un-natural liking to magic that is absolutely crazy tough to learn and perform. Even though the spectators will never know how hard they will be (which they shouldn't--it should LOOK easy and fluid), I'm still drawn towards it because they are uncommonly used. At the...

I had the thought the other day about magicians are seen by others. I believe everyone of all ages has some sort of expectation of what a magician can, should, or would do. And unless those expectations are met or exceeded, you have not won over that particular individual. Since we will never...

Does anyone have any recommendations for one-handed false cuts? The only one I know of and can do is Teachwrap. My only issue with it is that I'm not sure it looks 'convincing' enough. Stylish? Yes. but I think there are others out there that I just don't know about.

I've finally caved in. The projects I want to do cannot be done with my improvised boxes-and-Lego tripod system I have going. I want to create a tutorial for the Wire and I'm shopping around for tripods; mainly because I will not have any assistance to help me get the shots I need. For...

Are there any DVDs out there that feature a lot of one-handed cardistry?

In order to make successful videos, as well as publish anything in the wire. It's good to know some royalty free music resources, especially, for new guys =raises hand= In this case, what sites or resources have you had the most success from? So far, I've had moderate success with...

A lot of us make videos. Youtube, personal use, instagram, The Wire, SNC. You name it. But I have a feeling that while we are making out videos, we have a song in our library that we want to use, but can't make work in some way shape or form (besides the whole copyright issue...thing) So...

I have a question about the Mystery Box deck. I know that the Mystery Box has the entire aire of mystery surrounding it. I'm considering of making a tutorial for the wire and I'm considering of using the one Mystery Box as the deck of choice--ergo, I'd have the contents of the deck shown...

I'm in the process of making my first tutorial for The Wire and I've run into an issue: I'm not sure what is the best way to explain how to perform a flourish. The idea so far is to make an in-depth verbal tutorial having the video shot over the shoulder. I understand that everyone...

First off, I'm only interested in one-handed cardistry; no intention to move to two handed stuff in the future. With that, I've been messing around with some one-handed ideas and here's the result--at least it's one of them: Concept Test for 'OH Dear!' (mk.2) it isn't the CLEANEST looking...

I know it's been done; copyrighted music being used without consent in a video. Guilty party here (thought I was covered under 'Fair Use' because I wasn't making a profit from anything I made) I know we all have songs that we want to use for a video and looking for the royalty free stuff just...

All right. This year I'm drlving into one-handed Cardistry and magic much much more. I'm trying to create a routine, but I'm having a bit of a tough time finding one-handed flourishes that utilize 3 packets. The only one I know of is cox uker, but I'm not really a fan of the aesthetic--or...
