    Why do YOU perform?

    I do magic because it's not something that people see everyday. It causes them to let their guard down a bit and just have fun. I have fun doing it and it really helps lighten everyone's mood. The same would go for flourishing. It's something that people see all the time in movies and such and...

    Your Ambitions

    Write, maybe direct movies. If not that, I might look into psychology, or maybe open some sort of business with my brother. I might tackle the idea of being a professional magician, although I wouldn't say it's something that I would do to get all of my income. Of course that's a long ways down...

    PK Sounds

    Well in any magic or mentalism where the spectators do all the work, you always get all the credit because they always know that you're doing something to influence what's happening.

    Problem with THREAD :: W:H

    Does the pain also apply to the sleight method? I've heard enough issues and concerns to get me worried about buying this.

    theory11 Roundtable Discussion - Jason England

    What type of magic do you do outisde of cards? Which gambling moves do you like, use, and prove to be most useful in magic and at the card table? What are/were your goals in magic and sleight of hand at the moment, if any? What moves you're practicing, etc. And on that note, do you think it'd...

    Custom Cards

    Put your mouse over each picture and they should give you their first names. Shouldn't be too hard for you to figure it out from there.

    "Wait... Do that again!"

    Make them think that you're going to do the same thing. Say "Okay, pick a card" and go into something else. As long as the next effect is good enough, they would forget about what they thought you were going to do. Or you could just laugh and say "I'm glad you enjoyed it." If the effect was...

    Advancing. Experience.

    You can perform whatever you're comfortable with but it's best to have 2 or 3 tricks on you that are not cards. Coins, rubberbands, etc. because in their minds if you can do magic then you wouldn't only need a deck of cards. Adding several types of magic gives a more organic feel. If you could...

    Advancing. Experience.

    Basically, take what you know and try to break it down into it's simplest form when you're doing things for children. Whatever that may be, it can be effective as long as it feels organic and easy to follow. I used to volunteer at a summer school and I would show kids around 6 to 10 the simplest...

    I have a question.

    I'm pretty sure that if the effect was published then you shouldn't have much of a problem. In very few instances I have seen creators that don't give you the performance rights to the effect, even after purchase. I know Criss Angel had to ask permission to use Sinful on Mindfreak before it was...

    Lit - Wait... What?

    A lot of what magicians do doesn't make much sense. I'm assuming that's why they include 2 bonus effects that include matches and hopefully make a little routine out of them.

    Christmas!

    Money. I've been spending way too much on magic lately and I'm getting poor. Probably going to get about 100 bucks from some relatives... of which I will spend on magic. :D Actually I only want to spend it with my girlfriend as I haven't seen her in a while, maybe about 2 minutes every week? :(

    Who is Dave Castle?

    He even tells the people who watches his show, which I'm assuming is about 4 people, about his exposure site to "learn his amazing tricks". That's just beyond retarded and takes exposure to new levels. He also questionably titles himself as a marketing genius, which may be irrelevant, but I...

    How many T11 members participate in exposure sites?

    I will admit that it's how I started and how may people started. When I first began, I just wanted something cool to do with my spare time and learned some stuff from youtube, etc. Then I got serious about my magic and started to respect it more as an art than something that can be learned...
