    Help -- Download Won't Work

    Compressed the file is 950Mb roughly. Uncompressed the folder is 956Mb for a whopping difference of 6Mb. If there was just one person downloading this file I would agree and say "whats the point". When you are looking at the larger picture of possible 1,000+ downloads and it 6Mb turns into 6Gb...

    Control - First Impressions

    First impression: FREAKING AWESOME! The full footage of the party you performed this at Wayne probably has more tips and helpful material than I could have possibly imagined. At least half of those comments following the effect should have been in the teasers. --Jim

    theory11 newsletter released : Control Contest Details

    JB is going to call all 500 people between 4am and 5am EST when they are all done partying. If you fail to pickup the phone you are out, no soup for you! Seriously though I doubt they are going to list all 500 people but instead just draw a name out of the first 500 and declare a winner. Good...

    Enough With Card Flourishes?

    Spongeballs spring to mind....can't even count the number of guys who laugh at working with spongeballs and scoff at the notion of using them. Eugene Burger still performs a routine with spongeballs. --Jim *note- yes I have been turned on the the wisdom of Burger and McBride and it's...

    Control - My Own Method

    I came up with a totally ingenious method for Control.... I wait until 11pm tonight, enter my credit card information, download it and learn it from Wayne, with added touches from Danny, insights from Dexter, and comedy relief from Randall. Seriously the guy put in 6 years of his life to...

    Try using the ignore list function built into the forums. It worked for me :D --Jim

    theory11 newsletter released : Control Contest Details

    The first 500 were just for the contest participation. I am 99.9% certain they are going to have plenty of copies to sell for all those interested in picking it up. There is also going to be a download available if you are interested in that instead of waiting for the DVD and saving on shipping...

    Ok now I feel like some rat in a lab you are sending electric current into to see what the reaction is going to be. I get enough heartburn from work and the everyday stresses of life without the added aggravation on a message board in all honesty. Lets get back to the magic and enjoying...

    Card Stab

    Switchblade appears based on the video to come from the card sword principle. Now how he pulled it off is his own affair and I am sure a closely guarded secret that up to this point hasn't been exposed or released. I am not going to guess at his method because it could be entirely different than...

    Up until this point no one has said one is harder than the other. It simply isn't true that one is harder than the other, they are both equally difficult to perform. One may utilize sheer dexterity whereas the other relies heavily on showmanship and storytelling. Therein you have two very...

    Porper Clip & Split Spades

    Thanks a ton Brian. I ordered a rare find which is the Vernon silhouette version of the Porper Clip earlier today hoping that I would know before it got here. Nice to know things will work just fine. Thanks for the tip. --Jim

    I am curious as to how you are drawing your conclusions on what the "audience" prefers. Is this some imaginary static audience or stand in audience as seen in the L&L videos? Is this your opinion as an audience member? Or is this your opinion based on the numerous audiences you have performed...

    Thanks. I didn't miss the point, as your arrogance clearly shines through once again. Two things are inevitable according to the old saying, death and taxes. If you think it is inevitable that XCM will be all anyone else is talking about and the 'magicians' will simply have to catch up, by...

    How many of the top performers working today in magic are remotely proficient to the level of being considered an "XCM'er"? Better yet how many of them actually even utilize it in their show? My point is you don't have to do anything simply because the XCM is becoming popular from your point...

    Porper Clip & Split Spades

    I am curious if anyone who owns both of these items which Porper Clip did you end up getting? The decks I use most often and get the most wear and tear are Split Spades and TH9's. I know regular Bikes will fit in the standard Porper Clip but I want to know if anyone has put the SS cards into a...

    Enough With Card Flourishes?

    Katie, With all due respect I seriously doubt the future of magic is flourishing. Before the cardistry and flourishing guys tar and feather me I will tell you that I respect your skill immensely and simply love to watch the things you guys and girls can do with a deck of cards. Its a skill...
