I've heard that SAM is more of the "newer, younger, more finger flingin' magic" group and IBM is the "more like a bunch of old guys talking about classic magic and sleight of hand stuff" group. IBM has been around longer, and SAM is sort of the newcomer doing all the new age DanandDave kind of...

Very cool. Definitely got a new desktop background... Keep 'em coming!

Hey all, I've been into magic for a little over a year and I just got the opportunity to visit a magic shop for the first time. (It's Magic located in Hermitage, TN) I noticed that the employees had SAM and IBM patches on each sleeve. I asked them about it and they said they're both great...

Hey guys, Of all the tricks taught in the Trilogy, which is your favorite? I personally like Deja Vu. Deja Vu was the first trick I've seen where two sandwiches switch places and doesn't take as much skill as some other tricks out there. Any other favorites? Do you like it because it's easy...

Welcome to the world of magic. (and the forums here at Theory 11.) Just a bit of advice to get more people to read and respond: Try to make complete sentences, if you can. Use correct grammar and punctuation. It makes it so much easier to read! Try to write clearly so people will know what...

Magic is a great way to get rid of shyness. I have two different, personalities, I guess you could say. Now don't take this the wrong way... "Oh man, stay away from that mattjones kid on the forums, he's bipolar." It's not that at all. Sometimes I really feel like a performer and I'm ready to...

Yeah, mouse pads are kinda different than cloth.

Ok, thank you. Now I don't feel so alone. Any others resisting the urge to be "sucked in" by the Wynn sensation sweeping the nation?

Ha ha. Wow. That second link was hardcore! Just put your cards in a vice... if that doesn't work, I don't know what to tell ya... Get Criss Angel to roll his Hummer over it. My custom decks got bent and warped for a little bit, but I just left them in a closet for a while (months) and they're...

Ok, I've seen people all over the forums going nuts over these Wynn Decks... What's the big deal? Is this just a magic fad? As far as I know they're just a deck of cards that not a whole lot of people have heard of...until now. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't even think they're specifically...

I've never been so emotionally torn up by a clumpy deck of cards to make the extra effort to buy fanning powder.... I just buy a new pack of Bikes for about $3. When a deck is too clumpy to use, I just like to retire them and use them for duplicates.

Cool video. That would be a nice way to turn the tides... "Ahh Haa! I know how you did that. You just... *hug*"

I really like his magic, but I like his reactions better! Everytime I see him do anything, he gets explosive reactions. That, to me, is magic. He really has the ability to connect with a spectator and get them to react in some crazy way...

Jerry Sadowitz Side jog (job? Yeah, he's got two jobs- this one's just on the side...) Control is a fairly simple control, but it's all in the execution. Too fast, and they know something's up. Too slow, and it's exposed. All I can say is practice, practice, practice. If you're just controlling...

That was alright... Just try to come up with some patter of your own. I think a lot of that was straight off the DVD... Seemed a little stiff to me. Try to loosen up a bit. Like Krash said, try having a little fun. It'll come in time. Also, live performances help you SO much better than just...

Well, this is just a matter of personal opinion. It really doesn't matter what we at the forums think is the best custom deck. I would just ask myself some general questions, like: 1.) Am I unsatisfied with my standard red/blue Bikes? 2.) What kind of magic/flourishing do I do? 3.) What...

Ha ha. Really... Why do two guys get one vote? I thought that was kinda funny.

Come on, buddy. You know anytime anyone sees two letters seperated by a colon automatically thinks- W:H Just be yourself.

The trick is in the performance. Just work on your handling, patter, and the way you want it to come across in a real-life scenario. It'll come.

You forgot HEART! Captain Planet would be ashamed...
