I would also like to add Odyssey to this list. It looks like a one way trick, but it truly is a utility device. It is one of the best products out there. I was about to ask you this on another thread, but here seems as good as any: On a scale from 1 - 10 how easy is it to make? Also, is it a...

Oh yeah! I totally forgot about those.

Welcome!

So I have been planning an effect recently, and one of the things I need for this effect is a "new sealed deck" with all the cards in order Ace through king of each suit (Spades diamonds clubs hearts). I have the ace in each suit crimped. Do you think anyone will notice if the cards are running...

The worst part about it is that he has all the skill, style, and flair to pull off those same reactions without stooges. I mean, he has some incredible stuff in his locker. Have you guys seen mini-match? It looks incredible. And his presentation style is also amazing. His P & T appearance says...

Yeah, I've only watched a few of his older videos, but I did enjoy them. I like his marketed effects though, they have really nice performances.

My google feed just told me that a woman claims to have gotten paralyzed after getting hypnotized at Derren Brown's show. I find this hard to believe. As far as I understand, that is not how hypnosis works. Furthermore, if she was hypnotized into paralysis, wouldn't the rest of the audience...

The false overhand shuffle should be done like a normal shuffle. You don't even have to say you are shuffling them. Just drop your hands, do the shuffle, and keep talking. You need to use misdirection, just like everything else. Also, tilt your hand sleightly inwards. Ha, sleightly. Didn't...

Angle Z. Buy the DVD, it is applicable to soooo much.

That's actually weird. I never thought Jibrizy would be the one to fake reactions. Though you could probably tell from just watching the actual video he puts up, just cuz it's a snap change... and angles... I'm willing to bet this wasn't for all of his performances, but man, that is going to...

Welcome to Theory 11! Let us know how we can be of help! What kind of magic are you interested in? I'm assuming more so smaller stuff with sleight of hand and gimmicks. Coins, cards, sponge balls, etc. The best resources out there are the books. I can direct you to some basic ones here :D Pick...

Yes, Roberto Giobbi's Card College Light trilogy (the "Professional Card Tricks without Sleight of Hand" Trilogy is great. You can pick up all 3, but if you want one first (and buy the others later), here is a break down of the differences. Each of the 3 books is a bit different Card College...

I agree with this. But the basic TL DR thing is You can't learn it without doing it in performance. It isn't like a double lift where there is a right and a wrong method. It is super subjective to style. Therefore, YouTube will not help you learn the pass, since it is more of a move that relies...

Honestly, I don't think it is entirely bad learning from YouTube, as long as it is not your only source. A lot of stuff on YouTube is good (mainly from the sources listed above, and a couple others). However, people simply need to understand that just knowing the moves isn't going to make you a...

Hey so quick update question: I know it has been a while, but I was waiting until school starts to go ask for permission and stuff (just to get my school schedule lined up). I have done more research, and can't seem to find any specific laws against busking, but just to be safe, I am going to go...

Yeah the clip shift is definitely something fun to mess around with. I personally love to do moves just for fun (one's I would never perform, like the In The Hands Riffle Shuffle Double Action Palm). the "theoretical" moves are super fun to do. Have you tried using it as a palm or a colour...

Fair enough. All I am saying is that there are much better controls out there. Not to mention the fact that the clip shift isn't applicable to a ton on stuff. Also, from a spectator's point of view, why would you peel out the card and out jog it, only to put it back in the pack? And another...

Great thanks!

Good luck everyone! P.S. We are allowed to edit the pictures right?

This actually seems fun. Your gonna continue it weekly? I would read it.
