I agree. I liked when he said "it is the showmanship that will sell a trick as an impossible feat". Showmanship can make or break a trick. I used to do this deck memorization bit, and I always did it as a joke. Half the room would figure out what I was doing and start laughing, and the other...

Ah that makes more sense. Sorry I misunderstood your concept before. Yes I very much agree.

Likely this Friday assuming all is going well.

I have to respectfully disagree. I agree about your idea of putting high value and focus on entertainment value. However, I think our craft demands enough focus on method and choice of material to be baffeling to spectators. Sure, I get caught sometimes, but that means I either ditch the trick...

Thanks guys, I'm excited! I was going to pick these up after today because I had a gig, but it was cancelled this morning due to weather. It's a real blessing.

I don't know if that's a correct generalization (perhaps it is), however, lets say it is. Think out the logical conclusion to what you are implying. 'If people always suspect video editing, a magician should not use it.' (Is that a fair way of putting it? This is what I'm getting from what...

Just made it in time! Nice!

One more shadow idea for something a little different. Probably my favorite. http://postimage.org/image/59bfcxhep/ Result: http://postimage.org/image/sjxtft02b/ ... and it's the eleventh card not by accident....

Not sure how many entries we get, but here's another if we get more than one. http://postimage.org/image/3weheiqox/

Trying to be out of the box with this one. Concept was inspired by some really cool artwork on Google+ today http://postimage.org/image/94sgmg3cl/ http://postimage.org/image/g458gff6b/ Technically the sticker is on the wall... ;)

Yes but if they don't suspect it's being used... If it's obvious that is one thing. You are missing the IF again.

:) Didn't T11 teach you anything? Cerca Trova. Signatures galore. Looking forward to this.

Really? I see a big difference. When I was a kid and saw Jeff McBride producing cards, I thought he had some sort of contraption up the back of his arm that fed him cards. Then he would show the other side of his arm and I was floored. I had no other options - I was mesmerized . Had I known...

But this is the reason I'm not a huge fan of stage magic in general. Before I did magic, I always knew the tricks had something to do with the big fancy boxes. The one effect that used to make me so amazed was the lady on the spike. I had no idea. No box, no cover, and the spike goes right...

No, you're missing the important 'if'. That's why an effect with simple handling is much more powerful than the same effect with overhandling. If they suspect you did something fishy it is less effective than if you did the sleight invisibly and unseen. Which of course is the point of sleight of...

If the audience can see how it's done -yes absoloutley. If not, then not a waste at all.

Fair enough. I really see it as so simple and direct. Sure every plot line is the same for every TnR, however it's in the details. A straightforward performance, no fishy handling, the details of the signing, holding, and ripping of the card make it so clean, and as previously mentioned -...

New info from facebook: "We will be offering refills for a HUGELY discounted rate to any existing purchasers." Ooo, the Archive is filling up....

They are not reusable. This is something you would do for a very specific situation. At a time when you want to leave an impact. I would assume that refills would be available.

Free with points from purchases. A bonus for those who are buying. Like a way to reward those who are supporting T11 with their dollars. We all like freebies with our purchases. Depending what else they put in there, it could be really good.
