It is a humbling experience to watch yourself perform. But it enables you to reflect on your mistakes and make it better. Flawless technique is great but these things mean nothing if you're uninteresting to your audience. I would recommend learning and perfecting some self-working tricks. That...

I completely agree with you. This community is fantastic. The best cover that I have found is to simply make eye contact with the spectator, or turn to another spectator and ask a question. The purpose is to get their attention away from my hands and the best way is to make eye contact and...

There's a number of things you can do but you have to think quick on your feet. Fishing some clues out of them is one option but a better option could be to change trick entirely and say that you're going to go through the deck and look over the cards and try and memorise the position of certain...

*Summoning the spirit of Tyler Scott*

There is a video by Jason England you can watch for free on the site called "What to Read". Jason suggests many excellent books to start laying your foundation. My favourite is The Royal Road to Card Magic and really, quite frankly, any book by Hugard and/or Braue. For general magic that has a...

That's an interesting point of view actually. "Critic" sounds rough but it certainly is not a bad thing at all as it can actually foster growth in a magician's performance. As long as it's constructive and not meant to demonstrate one's knowledge for the sake of it.

Welcome! My current favourite thing from this site is The Code by Andy Nyman. I carry that everywhere I go now and I have a feeling that you would enjoy it as well. I also carry Smoke 2.0 on me at all times and a pack of matches (I typically follow with it after I do the teleporting match trick...

Thanks! I also took the opportunity to buy some T11 products that I wanted...no...NEEDED for awhile now xD Still waiting on one more trick to arrive but I did get Double Cross in the mail today.

I wound up with around 1,025 elite points and a deck of Gold Monarchs! Told you I would get my hands on one those eventually!

I am with you there. I have a number of his effects and they are simply amazing. TdF is one of my favourite Triumph effects (I highly recommend this to anyone who wants a classier "in the hand's triumph"). My most recent purchase of his was Boxed Reset and it is a great take on the classic Reset...

There's also the documentary on Dai Vernon that you can watch on YouTube. I must have watched that 100 times. There's also Shade which is a movie on gambling but uses names from the magic world. Supposedly it's a really good movie and features Paul Wilson and Jason England.

The Prestige is not bad. I enjoyed it a lot.

Congrats, RealityOne!

I'm looking forward to getting to know you more in 2017. Happy new year, friend.

Despite being a member of Theory 11 for a number of years, I have only been active this past year. And it has been my favorite year in magic so far. I have interacted with so many of you and have made connections that have fostered my love of the art, and pushes me to do the best I can. Through...

There is still one more spin to come but I thought I would tally up my wins for this year (and my first year). Through spins alone, I accumulated 1025 Elite points. Not too shabby! I saved up enough to buy the Split Spade pin from the elite section and it looks amazing! I used this opportunity...

Ever since I entered into magic I continually "renew", if you will, my new year's resolution of striving to become a better magician. I will only add to that this year by trying to perform more and more than ever before. I bought a number of products from Theory 11 this holiday season so I will...

Having JUST received The Code. I can attest that this is a brilliant tool and something that I will be carrying with me forever.

Anytime! It honestly fooled the heck out of me when I first saw it so I had to have it at that price!

100 points today. I've actually done quite well with those :p I was able to buy the split spade pin from the elite section.
