Hey guys, hope you all are having a great weekend! As you may have seen on this week's episode of Expose, we teased an upcoming release - the Blue JAQK Cellars Playing Cards. Long out of stock, these decks are finally coming back in a bold blue color, and we are extremely excited to share more...

Alright guys, we have winner! Although a challenging contest, we loved each and every entry - definitely a great bit of creativity and outside-the-box thinking in this one. With that said, onto the winner! We felt that this entry did the best job of execution and was definitely impressive in...

By shadow art, you can take it either way. Using shadows only, or incorporating shadows in your image. Either way is fine. No old posts allowed (as always, every contest since launch has disqualified members for submitting old posts), and proof would be great but if you submit a fake entry...

Hey guys, hope you all are having an excellent start to the weekend! I was skimming through YouTube and found this really cool video that demonstrates shadow art. I've always found it fascinating to be able to manipulate light and turn its shadows into different shapes and structures. You might...

Alright guys, time for results! This was no easy task; props to all of you for taking this challenge head on and making it look so easy! With that said, let's get right onto the winner. As the criteria stated, we were looking for the cleanest performance overall, as well as level of difficulty...

Hey guys, hope you are all having a great weekend! I saw a really interesting video on Twitter last night that was posted by Blake Vogt, and it definitely got me thinking. Cardistry behind the back is no easy task; not only can you not see your hands, your range of motion is greatly restricted...

Time for results! The first person that came the closest to the right amount was Bryant Tsu, who was only 108 cards off! Contact our support team and they will hook you up with your prize. I was able to fit 78 decks in that box (54 cards per deck), which resulted in 4,212 individual playing...

Hey guys, hope everyone is having a great weekend! Earlier this week, we celebrated our 8 year anniversary by releasing The Invisible Card by Blake Vogt and the Black Tycoons in collaboration with Steve Cohen, star of Chamber Magic at the Waldorf Astoria in NYC. We could not be more excited to...

Our randomly selected winner is Sergey Koller! Congrats! Please contact our support team and they will hook you up with your prize ASAP!

UPDATE: I have finally purchased my camera and equipment that I need (that was fast). So for my new goal, I plan on putting together the ideas for my projects and start them before the year ends. Winter time is when the majority of what I want to do will take place. Hoping it all goes well!

One of my goals this Fall is to finally splurge and get a DSLR of my own, which I can use to finally start making my cardistry project (and maybe a few magic effects I've created over the years). I've always had a vision in my head but never had the equipment to execute it, so once I get all my...

Hey Bryant, Believe it or not I have been going through almost the same predicament. For years I've always wanted to get into cinematography/photography but never really wanted to take that leap of faith and splurge a good amount of money on a camera and extra equipment. I've always hesitated...

Hey guys, hope you all are having a great start to the weekend. Monday is a huge day for us; it's our eight year anniversary! Eight years ago on August 31st, we launched theory11. And on Monday, we celebrate these past eight years with a few releases to mark the occasion. We would not be here...

Hey Thomas, This is always a great place to start. Jason England does a great job on giving you some books to get started. A lot of these books are fairly inexpensive, so they're quite affordable. If you are in the realm of just card magic, Roberto Giobbi's Card College series is also a great...

I don't really like the linking rings either, but Blake's effect is the only one I actually love. I don't think Penn and Teller knew how he did it either. I genuinely think Blake fooled them. I don't consider "we know you are a crafty gimmick maker" as an explanation. To me, they had no genuine...

To all of you who caught tonight's episode of Fool Us, what did you think? (spoilers below if you have not seen it) Blake absolutely killed it. I've seen versions of linking rings that use cards but never dollar bills. I, for one, was completely fooled. Just insanity; very clever working...

Alright guys, after much deliberation, it's time for results! This one was tough. Overall, really great submissions this week. This one really pushed us to choose, so with that said, let's get onto the winner. We went with this submission because we felt it was the best overall with the...

Just want to let you guys know that the judging process is still going on. Thanks for your patience!

Hey guys, hope you all are enjoying your weekend! In case you missed it, we released Double Cross by Mark Southworth last night. This effect was performed backstage at The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon by none other than Dan White, and the reaction was simply amazing. You can view that...

My other favorites are the Genesis series by Andrei Jikh, Trilogy by Dan and Dave, and Monument by Dimitri Arleri. And for a nice throwback, the System will always be a classic. Papercuts by Chris Hestnes was okay too.
