    Why did they become big/famous

    Hence the quote. Preparation meets opportunity. Don't buy the ticket, you won't win the lottery. Buy the ticket and you still won't likely win. Luck is when you manage to both prepare and you have that opportunity. You can pick lottery numbers every day of your life but will never win (even if...

    Why did they become big/famous

    This is a heck of a question. If there was a simple formula to follow, everyone would be famous. I think it is a combination of just about everything that you have all put on the table here. It is more than just a trick. It is skill, personality, presentation, good contacts, opportunities to...

    How Do You Feel About This Kind of Performance?

    Keith Barry, star of "Deception with Keith Barry" on the Discovery Channel and his show "8 Deadly Sins," and all around awesome magician, shot the following video out on Facebook and Twitter recently. Here was his comment. "I normally hate this type of act - but he's by far the best in the...

    David Copperfield vs. Harry Potter - The War Has Begun!

    I don't know that Harry has it in him to drop the statue of liberty on David. David's a killer. Money on Copperfield. L

    How Did You Find Theory11?

    Man Casey, I was in that contest, running full bore too. I got stuck on the "Yellow" clue and it took me a couple of days to see what you just happened to stumble on. That was an fun contest. Frustrating as sin, maddening even, but incredibly fun. L

    How Did You Find Theory11?

    Boring? Hardly. It is your story, and nobody else can say that it is theirs. That is what makes a community like this so amazing. As a thank you for kicking off this thread in the right direction (and because I am super amazing cool) I'll be sending you a little something out of my personal...

    How Did You Find Theory11?

    We all have our own stories. What I want to know is how YOU found your way to Theory11. Whether you have been here for several years or if you just joined us today, how did you get here? I came over after looking for magic tricks on YouTube. I saw a video for a trick (I don't remember which...

    Teetering On Magic's Edge

    Magicians are not much different anyone else in this world. There are many awesome people and many chumps. When you are in the same field as a professional, it can be hard to try to talk to them. Many times "professionals" let all the attention they receive go right to their heads. When they...

    EMC 2011 - About to Start!

    I happened to be one of the free pass winners last year from Theory11. I wasn't going to buy a pass, but I am so glad I did. The conference was incredible. There is nothing else like it. The lineup at EMC is insane and you wont ever have access to that much talent and experience anywhere else...

    t11.bulletin :: theory11 + Bicycle - Strategic Partnership

    Sounds to me that before today T11 simply went to the USPCC to produce playing cards. Now T11 will be doing something for the USPCC. This does not sound like an agreement to make playing cards. It sounds like T11 will be helping with their marketing and Youtube channel. Very cool. L

    T11 Should Make Mini Decks

    When it comes to cost, it would likely be extremely unwise for Theory11 to produce mini decks. Go do some research into how much it would cost to make a large run of playing cards, and then imagine even higher costs going into the "mini" version of a deck. I would be surprised to ever see it...

    Jerry Nuggets REPRINT?

    There has been no official Jerry's Nugget reprint. The closest thing is from people ordering up custom cards from the USPCC. The cards are on Bicycle stock with standard Bicycle faces. The only things resembling JNs are the backs and the cases. In fact, if you look around hard enough, you may...

    Black Scorpion?

    Made on Bicycle stock, nothing at all fancy. The colors are, contrary to what some people will say, not very attractive. Yellow and black are cool, but this is not a successful attempt at this color combination. The scorpion design looks incredibly cheesy when you have the deck in your hands...
