    I want to quit!

    The palm should look like a natural movement. technically, it shouldn't look like anything at all. nothing more than squaring the deck. I would keep working on it. Try to see what it looks like without doing the sleight, then try to replicate that while doing that sleight. for instance, if youre...

    Have more confidence in yourself. you look like your trying to kiss a girl for the first time. Confidence plays a huge part in your card technique. lighten your touch. When doing your double, there's no need to hold the card the entire time. I personally don't like grabbing my break and doing...

    I want to quit!

    That's the unfortunate part of magic. At least the internet portion. 90% of the children you see on here or any other forum are still finding their feet. They spend some time working on a routine, they post it. Excited for good responses, and they get bad responses. And naturally, they're...

    TA vs. The Art of Astonishment

    I think TA compliments AOA very well. I would start with AOA. Just because you'll get a good groundwork for how Paul thinks. And then I think you'll appreciate TA much more. You'll be pleased either way you go I'm sure. worth the investment.

    I want to quit!

    I would rather not be criticized on my advice. I wasn't taking anyone's side. I don't believe in that. I believe in my views on the matter and I'm sticking to it. I'm not calling anyone out as you just did. I'm simply stating there's way too much immaturity in this right now. Not just these...

    I want to quit!

    look, if you're going to quit, youre not cut out to play the game. Yes, people are rude. But often times your best teachers are your worst critics. They will be nasty. They will make you feel like jumping off a bridge. Even if their criticism is so far from the truth. It is those people who make...

    Wow I Can't Believe This

    It took me many years to get to this point. But christmas is not about getting things or asking for things. I know I trust myself buying magic more than my family. If I want anything for christmas, material wise, it's special. All I want for christmas is to see my girlfriend again before I...

    Is Thread Dangerous?

    Performed the geek version last night. Worst choice in my entire life. I got onto stage. Told myself, this is the moment of my life. Set up like Mr Wayne OWchin said to. What this man's obsession with self mutilation is, the world may never know. Anyway, I put the thread in my mouth... it goes...

    New Release: TRANSIT by Calen Morelli

    Typically when it comes to magic effects that I love, I keep them to myself. And only share with those close to me, the brilliance of the effect. but seeing as how this is a Theory11 effect, it's gotten enough publicity anyway. Since I'm about to move I purchased several effects and books so...

    Saturday Night Roundtable :: Calen Morelli

    First off, I admire your work. Went through the blog and was truly blown away at the amount of material you're able to come up with. Not on the quantity, but the quality. I could see at least 90 percent of it being marketed by itself. I didn't read through each and every question so I don't...

    When are you done with a deck of cards?

    Decks go through several phases. I don't care so much for the slippery new feel to decks. When I first open a deck, I break it in for a good amount of time. and just continue practicing. Then a point comes where the oils start to spread and it gets a little clumpy. so, I continue practicing...

    What is Magic?

    Magic to me doesn't always come in the form of a magic trick. Magic tricks just happen to be a medium for the magic. I hate making it seem like these tricks are just like the hammer and nails to build a tree house, when individually, the tricks are beautiful pieces of art. Calling it a medium...
