    Card control I created yesterday

    Unfortunately i already seen it in the Trilogy, in "Swiss Made". Might be a slightly different handling, but it's essentially it. The Losing Control is a totally different thing, it requires a move loved by Lee Asher that is nowhere to be found in this control. Anyway, the creative process is...

    The greatest trick?

    Teller's "Shadows", which is my favourite illusion ever. Also i can name the original Berglas Effect. Other effects are clouded by myth, like the Scarne's Aces (which i'm figuring a way out), the Scott Irving gambling demonstration, and others the name escapes me right now. I've also heard of a...

    Impromptu Rising Card

    It is, except the fact is not a variation: it's me that i can't do it properly! I felt like the raise rise is way too difficult, a simple rising card makes more sense with the move

    Impromptu Rising Card

    While playing around with the rising card concept i tried to make a quick ungimmicked effect. The first move is a very though one, requiring a brief change of angle. Enjoy and let me know if such thing has already been seen somewhere else (probably is, anyway...), or any tip to improve.

    Where are the original members?

    I think T11 just got better and better since day 1 of the "what is theory 11" teaser. New material has been created, reformed, but not too much for the people to get disoriented, and that is good. I remember when Andrei Jikh became one of the member, there was this trailer in the sands with...

    Where are the original members?

    I remember following the T11 hype when the site wasn't even up. Oh boy it was a long time ago, i even forgot the password to my old account and the email registered.

    Saturday Night Contest - The Classics

    Thanks! actually i am so tired... the top cover pass is my favourite, it's a great way to get into the double, and i practised the riffle pass alot, so thought i could put into the ACR.. I wanted to create an ambitious with no DL abuse, and i ended up liking this plot, it's been my standard...

    Advanced Use of Classic Trick Decks

    I drank a bit yesterday night, so my post wasn't that great.. Anyway, what i meant is that the MP is an effect that kind of stands on itself, you show something and the audience just watch. Don't get me wrong, it's a beautiful effect, (watch Daryl's performance), but it lacks potential versus an...

    Advanced Use of Classic Trick Decks

    The invisible differs from the MP from one particular detail: the first involves the audience, the second one doesn't. I said i prefer the invisible cause you perform something, if you like a displayed effect you can do a packet trick that need no switch at all, you can carry a packet with the...

    Better Way to Erase Ink with Fire?

    the mark is caused by the pressure of the tip, so you either find a way to transfer the ink to a stylographic or a dip pen, or you use a paper that resist scratches, like the watercolour paper. The easiest and most efficient way in my opinion is not to care about it, just press a little lighter...

    Advanced Use of Classic Trick Decks

    A deck switching device it's usually tricky to handle without goofy moves, cause loading 52 cards is heavy.. But i don't know how you do it, so i assume you have found a clever method to do so. That is a great idea to pull in, or pull out a trick deck. Keep it up with ideas! That being said...

    5th & Laurel Review

    You already received it? Time traveler confirmed. I like when a deck gets entirely restyled, plus the colours have a great tone. I think it would be great for cardistry. Can't wait to feel the stock

    Double Lift Critiques

    riffling is totally fine, that's the way i do it too. The killer secret to make it look good is to move your right hand away (drop it to the side, or gesture, act yourself somehow) and say something, to get some dead time from catching the break to lifting the double while the left hand stays...

    Starting cardistry- how to modify flourishes?

    don't modify anything, just do it. You'll do everything you will be able to do, the rest is an excuse

    A Serious Reflection on the State of Playing Cards

    Actually this opens room for discussion. I totally agree about the fontaines, basically what we get is a bicycle deck with a fancy desing at 15$ (4 times the price). Although the desing is captivating (i love it), a serie is made with little or no effort, and would still make the sold out. I am...

    I Need All The Help I Can Get

    I consider myself as a student of magic, everything that puzzles the curiosity is worth working on. While i always warn people about seeking dragons, (cause most people are just blinded by the glimmers of this effects), i myself am involved into a study on whatever looks magic to me. Actually, i...

    I Need All The Help I Can Get

    Well, all i'm saying is that most magician here are working on the "impossible impromptu miracle" (like a new ACAAN or any thought card in weird locations), and although it's fun and creative process, i strongly believe that the same or even better reactions are achieved by performing a simple...
