    Classic and Modern Mentalism.

    Justin: Let me start by saying that I have nothing personal against you, Nick or Marc Salem. I like a lot of your work -- the Stranger Card effect from Army of 52 is one of my go to effects and I love Factory Sealed. My reference to basic principles relates to what you recognized are...

    Bullet Party and Other Packet Tricks!

    OK, most of the effects are from Bullet Party or Mega 'Wave except for Final Verdict which is from Dear Mr. Fantasy. There is nothing in the Bullet Party book that requires special cards (except for the Aces from two decks that you write on for the Bullet Party effect), In the Mega 'Wave book...

    Food for thought: A Theory11 streaming service?

    I couldn't have said it any better. The only thing that I'd like to add is that I like being able to go back over things. Something I read or see in a video might not work for me at that moment, but a couple of years later I want to use the concept. It's neat to be able to go back and get...

    Bullet Party and Other Packet Tricks!

    For the effect Bullet Party - you need exactly what you see: three aces from a blue backed deck, an Ace of Spades from a red backed deck (can use blue backed if you want, but the different back reveal at the end adds another layer) and a blue backed joker. You write on the face of the blue...

    It depends on the effect. For many effects you can do as many single cuts as you want. You are bet learning some false shuffles. Ultimately, it is a question of whether you will perform the effects. If you will perform them, then it is worth it.

    The Problem With Magic And The Internet

    @jasonkillsx - You mentioned that you've been lurking here for a while. There is something a little different about these forums than many of the others. We all have a pretty good sense of the "regulars" and we all get along pretty well. @Al e Cat Dabra gives good advice and has a great...

    Need help with " Connections " Street Magic Effect

    What is published in Yigal's booklet is Lior's routine. It is a book you would enjoy. The routine is great and you can incorporate the method into what you are currently doing, but the presentation is a very powerful story. Actually, the book is focused on powerful presentations.

    Classic and Modern Mentalism.

    I would say those effects are application of basic principles using new props. The Tic Tac effect seems to have too many coincidences to be presented as mentalism but rather looks a lot like a magic trick. Give me a small pad of paper, a pencil and a lighter and I can get better reactions...

    The Problem With Magic And The Internet

    Part of the problem with this thread is that it conflagulates individual experience with generalizations. We all bring our own experiences and assume that those are reflective of magic forums as a whole. Different forums have a different vibe to them. Some are more conducive to arm chair...

    The book actually teaches you how to memorize the deck. The effects don’t require a lot of difficult sleight of hand. Knowing some convincing false shuffles is an advantage. Like anything else, you get out what you put in.

    Need help with " Connections " Street Magic Effect

    A full history might take a while. Best resources are Yigal Mesika’s Annimated Miracles booklet (available with gimmicks and storage as “Inner Circle”) and Steve Shaw’s (Banachek) Psychokenetic Touches booklet. Get both if you intend to perform the effect (plus Yigal’s book has other fun stuff...

    The Problem With Magic And The Internet

    Typically on forums like T11, there are enough "regulars" that will correct bad advice and let people know when someone has given good advice. Those regulars typically have the experience and knowledge to back up their advice.
