If you want to communicate with your audience you can check out Verbal Magic by Juan Tamariz. I heard that book has great information. And maybe Five Points of Magic by Juan as well. Hope this helps. Cheers, Casey

I'm trying to give you advice and you're not taking it seriously. Just apply what I said in my first post and work it out for yourself if you aren't going to listen to me.

I would suggest cutting that list to maybe half. It's better to have about 3 or 4 tricks taking 8 minutes than having 7 or 8 tricks in that allotted time. You need to build up a story and a great presentation to make their reactions the best. A 1 minute performance isn't going to do it. You may...

(continued from previous post because it was too long) I started getting better at my attitude, worked it out, and now I can control how I act. I wasn’t really able to travel at all to anywhere much, just stuck at the boring household, limiting my ability to go out and PERFORM for people like...

You know that feeling when your parents say to you, “You’re going to do it for maybe a month then you are going to forget about it and do something else.” Then you say, “No I won’t.” Then a month later you forget about doing it and head onto something else? Well, I have done it a lot in the...

Here is my first flourishing video. Tell me what you think! My actual camera is screwed up at the moment, so I filmed with my webcam. It's good quality for a webcam though!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DaHR9uj56gI Thanks for watching and please post comments below on what you think...

Just like SKSleightofHand, I am very glad to help you with this one. If you are looking for magic w/ everyday, ordinary objects, get Sankeys Best Magic w/ Ordinary Objects. It's great! I love it, everything in there is what you can really use in real life. It's packed with tons of good stuff...

I like how theory11 really is focused on helping others advance in their magic. Like JB said, they started out to revolutionize magic for what it is today, and they HAVE accomplished that goal. Keep up with the great work guys at theory11! And Jon Raiker will always be the badass of the bunch...

Oh dude, the Paper Engine, By Forces Unseen, and Dan and Dave are where I get some of my inspiration from. The Paper Engine has no significance to the switch, I put it there to block the ugly wooden desk.... I'm also wanting to get Expert Card Technique and maybe Mnemonica by Juan Tamariz, or...

Okay, I see exactly where you would come from in that perspective. It's not meant to be something you would use in a "for-real" game of poker. Maybe do it to about 2 or 3 friends while playing some "fun" poker on a saturday night. Just chilling with friends. It's also nice to pull this off...

Yes and no. I don't really cheat, it's against my morals, but it's nice to execute once in a while in front of someone. What I usually do is that my friends always say that I'm going to be some Blackjack dealer in Vegas or something. So I show them some gambling techniques that they can watch...

In response to amodernmagician, No, It's just supposed to be a way of holding the card when you are looking at your poker hand more discretely. I held it for a while in the video to show it was just one card. Of course since you are playing a table game you can ditch it. Thanks and glad...

I actually have no idea how I came up with the name. It sounded cool so I decided to use it. Haha. I didn't want a common name or anything. Some of my other effects I've created are called Avarice and Surmise, you dont see those names everyday....haha Thanks for the kind words DaveyG! Glad...

Hey Guys, Here's a switch I created that combines some old techniques and some new techniques. It may not look like it from the video, but what goes on behind the hands is a lot different than what you expect it might be. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-0OsnovWRmo Please tell me what...

Hello everyone at theory11, this may have been addressed before, but I feel as if it must be spoken about. We all know that books are an IMPORTANT part to any magician's knowledge. It expands our minds and makes us more educated within the art. I have one question, and this is that...

One card off!!! Damn!! Congrats to Dark Elements! You are one lucky person...

My guess is the 8 of Hearts.

Thanks Jeff! Glad you liked it! Good luck to you and your future releases. Cheers, Casey Rudd

Thanks guys! There's more to come in my idea booklet coming in the Fall of 2010. If you liked this effect, you will love the others. Please continue on leaving comments. Here's a personal story while I was trying this effect on real people: My brother's girlfriend came over one night (they...

Here's a freebie from an idea booklet of mine entitled "New Beginnings". This trick involves an iPod Touch/iPhone. I've performed this for friends at school and real life people on the streets, and I must say it KILLS! Their faces melt apart, and they FREAK! Here ya go. Just Lines...
