    "BLANK TRIUMPH" Now available in the marketplace!

    https://www.theory11.com/marketplace/michael-obrien/blank-triumph Magician Michael O'Brien uses a blank deck of cards to symbolize our destiny. During this demonstration he asks a spectator to imagine an image on one of the blank cards. The card is lost into the rest of the pack which is then...

    Magic Science Project?

    A friend of mine needed a last minute routine as his MC set for a show and he learned the balls over the shoulder thing the day before and it was a hit (i am not condoning doing something with no practice... lol just that the effect works better than you would think.) To keep the class from...

    What makes a great Finale for you guys?

    ;) I will admit it is a bit of self promo, haha but it honestly is my favorite thing to end any set with. :) I just hope that people get some sort of influence from my material even if i don't get a dime back for it!

    What makes a great Finale for you guys?

    I end with this at just about all of my close-up shows. I love the visual of spreading out a blank deck and leaving it there for them to examine after I leave. ;)

    Acme Hole

    I 100% agree. Seeing a bigger picture will always add to the context! As a whole E is not doing to bad with its pricing and what not. I think the criticism was directed towards Lloyd as a creator specifically. though to sure how much control he has over the pricing if it is an officially E...

    I second the imagination plot! The things I am about to show you are impossible.... at least without your help! Invoke the powers of your imagination and let your mind free. You will be surprised of the miracles you witness before your very eyes!

    Question about publishing

    T11 will not own any of the rights of anything you publish on the marketplace... Think of it as renting space on their site to sell your work. They get paid 40% overtime you make a sell and you keep the rest. It is a sort of qui pro quo thing i guess you can say. Now, publishing EXCLUSIVELY...

    Acme Hole

    I would not consider it hate. As long as we are remaining professional and not making any Ad Hominem (attacks on the creator themselves.) As for the business side of it, it is in his best interest to put out quality products. Thats how you get repeat customers. haha So yeah I would like feedback...

    Acme Hole

    I agree to an extent. If I shared a fun idea I just came up with and people really REAAAALLY wanted me to teach it, then I would. The only difference is I would not sell it for $9.00. I would probably put it up for free knowing that it is in such an infant stage that it is virtually just that...

    Free effects and Price Decision

    Posting stuff for free is a good way to let people try you out before spending money on you (especially if you are a new artist.) I put up a couple things for free at the marketplace so people can get a taste of my teaching style. From a marketing standpoint, it is good advertising too because...

    Acme Hole

    Just for the record, I have not seen the explanation for "Acme Hole" and do not have any stance on whether or not it is a good effect. My comment was in regards to creating something then releasing it with a price tag 2 weeks later without testing it very much and having the ability to stand...

    Acme Hole

    You are too kind my friend! haha I would love my stuff to go to market, but as realityone said, it is about marketing easy to perform hyper visual stuff that doesn't require a lot of time and energy behind. Not to say that there is never anything good on the market, I just think that it is up to...

    Acme Hole

    I respect Lloyd and think he is a great creator! I think sometimes we tend to fall victim to the "I need to put this out because I need money" thing.... all I ask is that we do our best to only put out stuff that the customer can really use and price it accordingly. I hope my above post was not...

    Acme Hole

    This is something that always bothered me about magic effects on the market. I saw a post on FB from Lloyd which literally was something to the effect of "Been playing with this idea for a couple of weeks now, anyone have any feedback for it?" Then about a week or so later it went to...

    New ways to advertise???

    To add to that I have actually started a referral program where if you refer a friend and i book the gig you get 20% of the total amount of the event just for helping me out! And this could mean an easy $50-100 in your pocket just for telling someone about me! :)

    Getting Past "Corporate"........?

    You guys have been so helpful with my "New ways to advertise" post, I figured id ask another fun question. Typically I book restaurants that are smaller chains or privately owned for my go to venues. They don't pay very well (sometimes not at all) but they are a great way to get out and work...

    New ways to advertise???

    Yeah i have done some free gigs here and there when I knew it would allow me to network with people i wanted to hire me. I also agree that when doing cold calls (or any other type of cold advertising) that you will almost never hit it on the first try.

    New ways to advertise???

    Hello my fellow T11 peeps! With a successful Holiday season coming to an end, I am sad to say that my bookings for the coming months are pretty sad so far haha Was curious to know if anyone has any cool ideas for advertising? As of now I have 2 target demos: 1. Marketing geared towards the...
