It is a flourishing/cardistry contest, but magic along with cardistry is fine with Dan and Dave Buck, according to the article they posted. I'm not sure just holding a deck of cards will suffice. :D Cheers, JTM

It should contain flourishes and cardistry, but magic can also be included -- "videos do not have to be entirely flourishing (magic and flourishing is cool by us)." The goal of the contest is to "show us your stuff. Pick whichever [provided] track you dig the best, and then create a video...

When you submit the video, you are asked to provided a title for the video. The name of the uploaded file can serve as the title, and the title could be anything, as long as it's reasonable. Cheers, JTM

The deadline for the Trilogy Video Contest is October 15th, 2007 at 11:59pm EST, so Monday is fine. Cheers, JTM

By "crud," I hope your referring to A-Rod because 13 Steps To Mentalism comes through in the clutch. It's one of the better books in the game of mentalism, and is something which can only improve your mentalism performances. If you need help with your mentalism, or are new to it, 13 steps will...

The "wrapped piece of gum can be closely examined and even given away." If you would like more information you should check this out: http://www.penguinmagic.com/product.php?ID=1626. Cheers, JTM

Well, the day is not over yet. They may update date it today at 11:59 PM. But, I'm more interested in seeing the two CIBs, as they will have to be out of this world, no pun intended, to convince me to buy them, especially with the variety of coin in the bottle effects available. Cheers, JTM

They receive so many submissions that I don't think it's possible for them to respond to everyone's videos. Most videos are not "unacceptable." Instead, do to the high volume of submissions, only best of the best videos are accepted because the media section would become convoluted, if they did...

If you sign up for the newsletter that comes at no cost. I'm not sure about the text message costs. I would think that theory11 would not charge you for that service; however, depending on your phone plan, your cell phone company might. Cheers, JTM

There will be a bias here because majority of the people partaking in the poll are here because they like theory11. I'm sure the same poll at Ellusionist will differ greatly. Nonetheless, theory11 is growing, and hopefully will continue to. Theory11 provides a fun, loose, and interactive...

There are two Stars of Magic DVDs at Penguin Magic, each of which contain 3 volumes of material from Paul Harris. They're selling for about $18.00 each, so that would be a good way to start, but I don't have them so I cannot provide any personal recommendations. Cheers, JTM

I agree with Jordan, adults are more observant, but there more suseptable to misdirection -- "Did I tell you about the time I went to Alcatraz ..." -- whereas a child will be like "Shut Up Funny Guy and JUST MAKE ME A BALLOON!!!." Cheers, JTM

Individual gaffs sell for about $5.00, depending of the type of gaff, so economically it's more profitable and feasible to sell them seperately, than providing the customer with a free $5.00 gift. Cheers, JTM

Dave Chappelle is a good comedian, but Dane Cook is just hilarious. His Tourgasm DVD is unfathomable, but he needs to work on his movies, though. :D Enjoy Mt. Rainier, and try not to use sleight of hand on the plane, while trying to reach for something, it will look suspicious. :D Fly...

Back in Time is fantabulous effect. It's called Here and There, and it's great prequel to Distortion (cheap plug :D). Cheers, JTM

Too bad it's not coming out until after Halloween. :( I cannot wait to see what this effect truly is because it seems that people either hate it or love it. Cheers, JTM

Conventional wisdom, at least in the United States, is that the end of the week is Sunday because school starts on Monday, and the business week begins on Monday as well. However, it is a common axiom that Sunday is the beginning of the week, with Saturday marking the end of the prior week...

Google. :D Penguin has a vast array of Paul Harris's goods and services, including the Stars Of Magic DVDs, in which a magician such as yourself would be interested. Cheers, JTM

There have been a lot question about the difference. According the United States Playing Card Company, there is no difference, although there is an apparent different feel to them. Moreover, UV 500 finish is just for Ellusionist, so the regular Tallies will not be as thick as, handle like...

Roughing fluid helps cards stick together. You also can use tape, a double back, glue, et cetera, depending on for what you need it . Cheers, JTM
