Tonight's Saturday Night Contest will be hosted by Mr. Andrei Jikh. We have done this idea once before - and it was a blast. So we're revisiting the concept tonight. There is no excuse not to participate, so read the rules below and jump in! The challenge is a card lottery. At 11:00pm EST...

I spoke to Justin about this two nights ago - he was VERY excited about it. The shoot was great - and he got to meet one of his favorites: Penn Jillette. Fun fact: Justin actually wasn't able to audition for this role in person, so he made due with what he had and recorded a video audition from...

There are four things at work in magic: copyrights, patents, intellectual property, and ethics. The Wright Brothers weren't the first ones to build an airplane. Eli Whitney didn't invent the cotton gin. He, in 1794, and they, in 1906, were the first ones to patent it. There's a world of...

Magic awards are a dime a dozen. Some of them are handed out by local magic clubs. Some of them are handed out by regional magic clubs. And a select few are handed out by meaningful, multinational organizations. Whenever I hear of a magician getting an award, I ask myself what award it is and...

Hi guys, Great questions tonight! We received 150+ questions in three short hours. DG only had limited time this evening to record our session, so we made the most of it and tried to get to as many questions as possible in a 20 to 25 minute time span. If the podcast seems a bit more intense...

It's been 4 weeks since we posted our last roundtable discussion, so we thought it was time to break out the microphone and kick things off with a fresh session tonight. Tonight's guest is an icon of modern magic and an inspiration to the next generation of magicians. He consulted for David...

Jrobarts05's advice is spot on. Recently, we have noticed a reduction in quality and thickness of USPCC tuck cases, and it was for that reason that we took quality up a notch in fabrication of the Sentinels. The Sentinel box is noticeably thicker than usual boxes and for that reason, it takes a...

Good catch - I'm not sure how this was overlooked. This has been corrected and should be fixed now. Thank you for pointing this out!

Our goal with shipping is and always has been to charge a fair amount. Not too little, not too much. Oftentimes, other companies (inside and outside of the magic community) will artificially inflate the price of their products to reduce the cost of shipping. Don't be fooled. Buying a $3 deck...

These videos were super fun to watch! I loved them all! UnknownMagician, your spread was awesome and a bit like domino's. It reminded me of that OK GO music video where the chain of events happen one after another. demon5magic, your collection is clearly a record and unique - I love it...

It might not be a legitimate record - your challenge is just to give it your best shot.

Tonight's contest will go down in history. Perhaps. More specifically, it will break some records. To give you a bit of background, this was inspired by a contest we hosted a few months ago and a certain website called URDB (Universal Records Database). The purpose of that website is to...

Sebastien, Our support crew always responds within 12 business hours - faster than anyone - but this does not include weekends (not business days). That said, you're in luck. Check your email now - you should be good to go!

We appreciate the support of every single member of this community. On occasion, certain members stand out to our team as consistently interactive, always posting and always positive, professional, and helpful to fellow members. We respect that effort and we are always here - listening to...

A classic plot in magic is the Cannibal Cards. Originally developed by Lin Searles in the 1950′s, the effect has been a favorite among many of magic’s most respected creators. Tonight, we unveil a new spin on it by Mike Hankins. Eugene Burger called it “wonderfully surprising with a perfect...

Riddle of the day: You are BLIND. You are given 52 cards: 42 face down, 10 face up. How do you divide the deck into two stacks with an equal number of face UP cards? Remember, you cannot see.

Our team works very closely with USPCC - particularly their research and development team. This extends not only to our cards, but the printing process in general. As an example, today I received a package from USPCC containing two decks with a new, experimental finish. Our task is to test the...

You won’t believe your eyes. A normal, sealed deck of cards is somehow trapped in a glass bottle. There is no explanation. Each bottle is hand-made by Jamie Grant, and this special edition is available for the first time exclusively at theory11. Other editions have sold for $150+. We’re...

Absolutely. We have been waiting until enough content was complete to justify (and fill) the next volume of Foundations, but this has always been on the horizon and is now close to completion.

You got it! Enjoy them. I would recommend switching to an alternate email provider than AOL, as that may be the cause of why the confirmation email did not go through (we just resent it). No worries though - will be in your REAL mailbox by the end of the week!
