are there plans in the works for a new Theory11 wristband with the new logo?

Subrosa. I'm eventually going to get Sub Rosa. However, I'm still working on my cardistry project and I'm practicing 3 difficult card effects already (Mechanics Shift, Jack-In-The-Box, Raise Rise). It's on my list.

It's not so much watching the actual painting being done, but the flourish is the finished painting. I completely understand where you're coming from. I think that cardistry has a unique way (or at least the capability) or conveying a message that magic is not really able to do. Magic has a...

I used to have the same idea of cardistry. Narrating a plot into it isn't really going to work out. Cardistry is more like a painting, I think. Its more about what you, yourself, put into the moves and what you want to show or convey

look alive, you Elite point hoarders! The Archive just put up JAQK blue edition uncut sheets up for grabs. Get 'em while they're hot!

I think I found the appropriate use of pressure last night (and the 'feel' if a card or two are going to shoot out from the deck). It seems that the easiest moves take the longest to perform correctly (deck flip and flicker to name a couple). It also doesn't help that I'm doing a 540 degree...

More than likely. Us forum goers will never know until they show up. They added a lot of things a few months ago and added the Rarebits 2 or 3 weeks ago. I'd say it'll take a bit for something else to show up in the Archive, but keep your eyes open

I've never heard of 'cardistry trainers' until this thread. They seem to be a bit obscure and narrow in use. The time you spend with the 'trainers is time taken away from actual practice. Plus, when you're done learning from the cardistry trainers, the only use they have are expensive drink...

I don't think there really is a linear path to follow. Just search about and see if any flourishes catch your eye--then learn it. Heck, if you wanted to immediately go to 'Cylinder', by all means! Nothing should stop you

I've been delving into Instagram ever since I started my first Saturday Night Contest on this site and I've noticed that A LOT of people post videos of them doing color changes. But I've noticed that a lot of them require hand coverage/visual block of some sort. This has left me wondering: Of...

I'm not too familiar with the 'Rounders, but I use Bicycles all the time and they work just fine. As for cardistry tutorials. If you're going to buy tutorials, marchese man recommendations are good. If you're looking for free stuff, look up tutorials for Charlier, Revolution, and Scissor...

Off the top of my head. These come to mind: Counterfeit Three-fly Digital dissolve Reflex Socking Break Ambitious Card Security Lock Pen through bill It's a bit of an expensive list. If take it with a bit of salt. im trying to think of more effects where the spectator has more involvement

I'm (trying) to learn Raise Rise at the moment, and I think your statement could not be more right.

It all depends on your character and how you want to present yourself to your audience. Is there anything that stands out that you'd like to do so far?

Thanks for the app recommendation! My issue is that I made a goal/deadline for myself and I thought I had my 'list of flourishes' all panned out on paper with a timeline for how fast I'll learn it, polish it, and everything. And I end up finding one MORE flourish that would fit perfectly and...

As a veteran, thank you for doing a themed contest like this one on such an occasion. Red: 8 of clubs White: Queen of diamonds Blue: king of spades Red: 4 of spades White: 5 of hearts Blue: ace of clubs

Emphasis on what RealityOne &TeeDee have said I think you could do something easier with an emphasis on a fantastic presentation. That would be more worthwhile, in my opinion. A magician stumper with a flat performance isn't that impressive; it comes off as a puzzle. That's not the direction...

It was never directly stated that it was an integrity issue. Considering that Sub Rosa was known by an inner circle of sorts for many many years and then, all of a sudden, was going to be released for amateurs, hobbyists, laymen, etc. to see. Either someone found it, or someone from inner...

Magic and cardistry can always use fresh ideas, creativity, and new perspectives. Cardistry-con 2 happened not too long ago in NYC. As for decks. I think The Virts came out with a deck just recently that's a slam dunk for cardists, aesthetic-wise. Theory11 came out with Contraband, which (I...

Over the last few months, I've been working on about 8 flourishes off & on. Today, I found a 9th one that I must add to my repertoire. That flourish being Andrei Jihk's 'Backpack'. Have you ever been working on a flourish or a few, then stumbled upon one that you HAD to put at the top of your...
