    Control problem

    Whoa, exposure? Not trying to be mean or anything like that... but that may be getting pretty dang close to what you don't want to put on the forums.

    Yeah, I know it's a weird question...

    Ok, I've been looking at this guy for a while now... On the home page of Theory 11, in the Theory 11 preview window to the left, (before you hit play) there's a blury-looking collage kind of thing with someone's face in the upper right corner... Who is that? Is that Dan White doing a Jones...

    What kind of computer are you using?

    Advice for my first magic gig?

    Reply to Brad: (cause that's way too long a post to quote...) What I usually do, to see if a spectator or group of spectators are interested in magic, is something quick, simple, and visually stunning. I tend to stick with Here Then There. If they react well and seem interested, then I continue...

    The Jones Change

    If you can do the throw vanish, using the Tenki palm, then that should help you out. The quicker you can put a card comfortably and securely in Tenki, the easier the Jones Change will be. The Jones Change is fairly difficult to perform in front of real spectoators, BUT-with plenty of practice...

    Advice for my first magic gig?

    Ok, Now what? MitchellStafiej says: and Brad Henderson says: "There is no reason to do a thousand tricks..." What do I do? Do I perform as many tricks as I feel comfortable with (about 10 at the most for me) or just stick with a couple of really good tricks? P.S. How do you use...

    Advice for my first magic gig?

    Cool. I'm not insanely nervous- I feel like I can handle it. I've already started practicing, and I'm planning on bringing the most tricks I've ever had on me at one time... For sure tricks: ACR 2CM Sandwich Trick (Based on Danny Garcia's White or Wheat) Trapped (Nicholas Einhorn's...

    Advice for my first magic gig?

    Alright, cool. I wasn't planning on charging a whole heap of money anyway, but I will definitely benefit from the whole expierience. I'll go ahead and take all of the advice so far and seriously work out some routines that will hopfully get some killer reactons. I've got a couple of videos of...

    Advice for my first magic gig?

    Hey guys, Sorry if this has already been posted, but I searched the forums three times with no dice... Anyway, I got my first gig! It's at a high school graduation party in early May, so I've got plenty of time to get some tricks together... The only thing is: I have NO IDEA what I'm gonna...

    I'm seeing David Copperfield Tonight!

    I saw him a few days ago in Atlanta! Expect your brain to be fried... No, seriously- you will need someone to drive you home. The last thing you'll be thinking about after the show is, "How do I get home?" When I saw him he performed Portal, and made a vintage lincoln convertable appear from...

    An Intimate Evening Of Grand Illusion

    Last night I saw a legend. David Copperfield. Yes, David Copperfield in Atlanta, Georgia. I went to his show expecting some of the classics of stage magic and went in thinking it would be good, but nothing more than a great Metamorphosis, or an underwater escape, or something. Something I've...

    How Is It Made?

    Why wouldn't I want to find out? What am I staying away from? Why am I staying away from this "whatever?"

    How Is It Made?

    The following is for any and all Theory 11 artists and/or Big Cheeses (and for anyone else who just want's to know like me...): Here at Theory 11, it's all about quality. Not quantity. But what goes into making quality magic to make it, well, quality? How long does it take to produce a great...

    The Ten Theories?

    Ok. This has bothered me for a while. Theories 1-10: Are they really "theories?" I mean, when I think of a theory, things like Darwin's Theory of Evolution come to mind. A theory is a thought that is yet to be proven. Stuff like, "Whouldn't that be cool if that were real?" What is the theory of...

    Inventing Flourishes

    Ok. That's cool- flourishing is more of a freeform art rather than "everybody's copyrighting everything." But I like to give credit where credit is due, anyway...

    Inventing Flourishes

    Hey guys, Let's say you've worked on a new, original flourish and you're ready to show it off as your own. How do you know if it's completely original? Is it okay if it's a variation of another flourish? How can you make it your own? (As in copyrights...) Pandora (found in Dan and Dave's the...

    Tips for removing a click bend from a deck of cards?

    No, don't do that- I tried that once before and when they came out they were fine until the condensation started to form...

    Daniel Garcia's Torn Copied?

    Woah... The restoration of pieces one and two all the way to the setup of the third was almost EXACTLY like Torn. Although the third piece was restored using a different method, I'm fairly sure.... pretty similar... but not the SAME.
