I wait a month before picking anything up. If I still want it after a month then I will buy it. Most often there are more than a handful of well-written reviews on products during that month as well. It also helps to trust your gut instinct on if something would fit your style and be something...

Really though the spiral bound Kinko's type of prints are very convenient. You can literally lay the book flat and read through them with either coins, cards, or props in your hands to walk through the entire effect. Quite a few of the lecture notes I have are in this format and it makes them...

Congrats Doug! Maybe if you ask Wayne nicely you can get Randall to sign the sheet for you.... --Jim

Yes...now if you will tell me what to do with it.... PM's, Messenger Pigeons, and Pony Express are all satisfactory means for passing the message...

Chris, While I am sure way deep down under the fancy wording and catchy phrases your point of making this a better place isn't completely lost. The credibility of Theory 11 doesn't rest on the state of the forums or the content contained within it. It is certainly a part of it but the...

While I might not use the same words Steerpike does I agree with him on almost every single point he has made thus far. There is simply too much to counter in this thread right now with my own opinion on what would and would not refine these forums. The beauty of the internet as evidenced by...

Way over the top for my tastes. That crosses the line in my opinion and you are asking for trouble performing that unless you have a very select audience that is going to be comfortable with that type of performance. Someone posted a video of this guy performing this months ago I guess you guys...

I have two Ultimate Marked Decks and they are by far the best marked decks I have come across. http://www.elmwoodmagic.com/full/Magic-Tricks-Magic-Books-Magic-DVDs-6966-Ultimate-Marked-Deck-Magic-Dream__3441.htm --Jim

I am going to put this very simply: If you cannot control yourself you shouldn't think about performing this until you are capable of perfecting the presentation. If you want to cheapen the value of the effect and treat it as a joke then by all means that is your business but I think you will...

Thoughts? If you were going to spoof it you could have taken a suggestion I made and just used a double blank deck of cards and made the spoof. That would have at least made it mildly humorous. That aside Ellusionist puts out some pretty nice decks in all honesty. The fact that there are...

Cleanup is really a breeze. Charlie covers this in a fair amount of detail and gives you a few options on how to get it done. All the heat is on the bottle at the point of penetration and people are instantly reaching to inspect that bottle, which can be done immediately after the penetration...

It is probably one of my favorite effects that I perform that completely blows people away. Here is a review on the Cafe: http://www.themagiccafe.com/forums/viewtopic.php?topic=185040&forum=111 Review from the E forums by Rabid...

My suggestion would be the following to anyone contemplating releasing "notes": 1. First off as Mitchell mentioned, do your research. If you want to get some mud on your face the quickest way to do that is by taking a shortcut in hoping that your effect is in fact original. **Please use a...

Methods are not and never should be discussed in the open, this is a public forum for anyone to read as they please. The method and handlings were explained in extreme detail on the DVD so I am questioning if you actually even own this product in the first place. I tell you what. If you want...

I call it the "Chicken Little Phenonenon" Shodan =) Then again when the sky really does start falling I will certainly put on my hard hat... --Jim

I would disagree with the notion that magic is dying or deteriorating at this point. For some to see magic evolve or incorporate newer technologies that could be perceived by the old guard as magic deteriorating. I think there are problems that likely have no feasible solution within the...

Have the watch stop and your pulse stop at the same time. Could lead into it having the spec use your watch or their borrowed watch to take your pulse as any nurse/doctor would do using the second hand. As the watch comes to a stop so does your pulse, then both begin again. Play it off as you...

Now that is why I am never visiting California....wackos! Seriously that has to be Dana in disguise...

Hrmm....I think we can show our love for the T11 forums without bashing E. Different strokes for different folks. They are free to run their forums as they please in all honesty. Please take this the right way....if you don't like the food don't go back to the restaurant =) That aside, I dig...

What you are considering as past magic is still performed regularly in modern times. I am sure you could come up with countless other examples and each of them are also performed in modern times with possible twists on them. I think the topic you are generally concerned with is the attitude...
