Not too late! You can still sign-up and watch any upcoming presentations live (half remain), and you can watch all of the previous presentations in their recorded form. Most are online already. They're uploaded the same day they are presented. In addition, you'll get the DVD's in the mail. So...

Awesome - thank you! Keep any questions you guys have coming, and I will do my best to have any of the presenters chime in and answer.

Just as a side note, I was chatting informally after the event tonight with Bill Kalush, Dan and Dave, Eric Mead, Mike Caveney. Lu Chen's performance fooled all of us. Badly. So badly, it hurt. My mind is bruised. I can't imagine a better performance piece than Lu presented: he fooled every...

Hey Josh, I'm going to give it my best shot to have your question answered by Apollo in the next few minutes.

Just finished my talk this afternoon! One of my personal highlights from today - watching Lu Chen perform. He fooled me completely and absolutely - and even fooled David Berglas with his own effect (ACAAN). The card was absolutely random - I thought of it myself!

Very exciting! If there are any specific questions you'd like me to ask other presenters on your behalf, post them in this thread and I will do my best to get the presenter to chime in with their thoughts. The line-up is unparalleled - from Apollo Robbins to Lu Chen to David Berglas to Lennart...

As I write this, I'm about to jump in a car on the way to the airport here in New York City. In three hours, I'll be in the air and on the way to Lisbon, Portugal for the Essential Magic Conference 2011. Over the past few weeks, we've given away ELEVEN free passes and provided as much support as...

A great place to start is with the man who just may be the best card technician breathing today: Jason England. In terms of video instruction, he is tough to beat. Jason's videos were not intended to be your only source for instruction of each move, but his instruction is detailed, well...

I definitely see the value of having an easy portal for discussion of that sort. The hesitation we've had in doing something of that sort thus far is exactly as Rick mentioned: what happens when things go wrong. Even with member-created contests, we have seen issues where someone goes to great...

Loved the haunted deck with the kid's borrowed cards. He'll remember that forever.

Absolutely loved the final production. Full of magic, and the first magic special in a long time that truly blurred the line between real magic and illusion. Which effect did you guys like the most? So much GREAT magic - the moon vanish, the bill change, Smoke, some great card magic, a super...

I believe the show is actually airing twice tonight, so if you miss it the first time, you have a second chance! Set your DVR and Tivo and help spread the word. It's a rare, outstanding achievement, and I'm proud to share the good news. Dan is a part of this site and this community, and his...

Amazing show - one of the smartest magic shows there is. Prepared to be truly, deeply deceived in all the right ways. Rick, what date are you going to see it?

Of course! If you RIGHT click on any of the "MP3" buttons here, you can click Save Target As (or Save As) and save those sound files to your computer. You can then transfer them into iTunes (drag and drop) and sync with your iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch.

AKong, In many ways, to each his own. Jason England's definition of a perfect deck may be completely different than Dan White's, yours, or mine. Our goal at theory11 and in partnership with Bicycle is to produce decks with stellar design that are durable, smooth, crisp, and long-lasting. Many...

Just a quick note that per contest rules, your video must be created and post tonight (that video was from a while ago!).

Side note - great performances tonight by Mathieu Bich and Daniel Madison! Congrats to both of them for a job well done. Very excited to see all of your submissions. What would YOU have done if you were on the show tonight? Show us! And hopefully, fool us.

Okay, these were seriously HILARIOUS. I loved them all, particularly Chris Wiehl's explanation of REF4M with super glue, Ollie's explanation of Crush (with great misdirection!), rocket92's explanation of Alchemy (with a giant bandaid - stealth!), Justin Morris with the Smoke and flour (I was...

Hey Will, I was not able to play your video. Can you double check it? This is what I see.

Just like you could purchase JAQK decks from theory11 before they sold out, other magic shops could purchase them from theory11 as well. Especially for members in distant countries, it can be a blessing to buy from a local magic shop. We support many online magic stores and the brick and mortar...
