Hey Raiker, JB. Hope your listening.... I was thinking today of a prize that would be worthy of the kind of epic event that T11 is known to run. Granted, I have no clue what the event would be, but I know well what the prize I'd like to recommend for your consideration. I'd...

We all have been there. You've got a gig later today, and you feel like crap. You've been in a rut. You're magic doesn't feel like it's getting any better, your friends tell you you're chasing a pipe dream, and if you get paid for your work, it never seems like enough to pay the bills or...

So I was reading a newsletter from Jeff McBride today and one of the subjects he talks about is mentorship. Having a mentor is helps a lot. It's always good to have someone you can go to for advice, thoughts and insight. Not just someone who can show you tricks, but help you develop...

Here's the situation. You're a magician brought in to entertain a private party for an hour. Since you're a smart magician you always bring a little extra with you just in case you need to substitute something due to malfunction or the show runs over. However nothing could have prepared...

So I recently got a download of Watermark from T11, and it's my first experience with a Theory11 product. The effect was just as much as what I expected it to be. In the hands of the right performer this effect is lethal. So I was performing at the Bar Show at Magicopolis in Santa Monica...

As I sit here on my computer trolling the forums occasionally looking for a thread to respond to, sitting on my desk across the room from me is my top hat. There's nothing unusual about it really. It's a standard run of the mill felt top hat, with black ribbon. Nothing unusual except for the...

I was reading a MuM magazine today and saw something I thought I'd share with everyone. MuM incase you didn't know or aren't familiar with the publication is the Society of American Magicians magazine. There was a couple of quotes that caught my eye. They were: "Only magicians care...

I just had a few thoughts this morning and I figured I'd jot them down to share them. They are about two very important subjects to us as magicians. Practice, and Rehearsal. It should be something we go through on a daily bases. While I was thinking about it, something became apparent to...

...and start being a productive member responsible for valuable contributions to our magic community. We’ve all seen the posts before on this forum, or any other forum on the internet. You know the kind of posts I’m talking about. The posts that cut down, belittle, inflame, infuriate, insult...

I'd like to recommend a simple tweek for the forums that is already available on other forums online. It's a reputation button. It works like a like or dislike button that is attached to each person's profile. Everyone has an availability to give good rep or bad rep on each post that...

To anyone who is interested: I have recently come into possession of a beautiful full body couch levitation. To clarify: The girl lays on the couch and levitates off of it. The couch itself doesn't levitate. (Couch, rigging, counter balances, ring, sheet, and all. Girl not included.)...

the good news is that I am now back online with a dedicated computer!

Hey guys, I need your help with some marketing research. I've created a survey on my website, and would greatly appreciate it if you would take 5 minutes of your time out of your day to look at the survey, and give me your feed back. The link is here. www.williamdraven.webs.com/survey.htm...

Computer is broken, updates and replies will be slow and difficult for me.

dispite the horrible presentation in the other thread of simular title, i believe there is a valid point of conversation to be had here. What is your prefered method of studying and practicing your magic? Motzart would be woken up in the middle of the night to have music theory drilled into...

I've decided to put my cards where my mouth is. I'm going to try a 31 day (month) long busking experement. I'm going to take my skills to the street, with obvious goals set in place and see if I can't meet or exceed them. I'll be bloging daily about my exploits, lessons, and...

The persuit of a dream. Entertainment. To entertain. The thrill of the ovation, the rush of taking the stage, the challenge of pushing yourself harder, faster, stronger, longer. The constant re-inventing of yourself, the marketing of your act, the never ending cycle of proving yourself and...

Since morals and ethics are hot topics right now, here's a little situation to ponder. If you had to use your sleight of hand for survival as a means of connig (or out right stealing) people out of money, food, etc would you do it?

take a look and let me know your thoughts?

Let's say you were in your attic or basement and found an old lamp that when rubbed produced a real genii that wanted to grant you the gift of magic, allowing you to do real magic that was only limited to your imagination. The catch is: You can't use the magic for or on yourself. It can only...
