You can occassionally find Cincinnati decks still floating around but they are now made in KY. I wonder if you just got a bad deck or if it was left out in humid conditions or something because every deck I've received from Theory 11 that was Tally Ho have been outstanding. Did you purchase it...

I'm looking into it right now Gabe.

Nice post Theatre Head. I couldn't have said it better. The best magic for one spectator might have been horrible for another who was standing and watching the same effect at the same time. I think the important thing is that "Emotional Hook". As a spectator I ask myself....Who is this...

Outstanding info guys. This is very valuable information. I'm 33 and believe it or not completely agree with all of you. Does anybody mind if I share your thoughts at my next club meeting? I of course will not put any names with comments. I actually am not an IBM member, just a local magic club...

Great responses thus far gentlemen. I like hearing other's thoughts.

Recently at the National Magic Convention in Texas there was a meeting with only representation of 6 IBM rings and the president. One of the major questions / issues that was brought up was that IBM ring membership is very low....especially among teens and younger magicians. Why is this...

Are you referring to a "turnover pass"? or something different?

Many of us "know" a ton of magic effects, but actually performing them and doing them "well" narrows it down to about 15-20 for me. I have about 8 really good close up effects that I perform regularly at the drop of a hat and then I have about 12 effects from my birthday party gigs that I...

That is actually the funniest thing I have read this morning...ha ha. A decent set of nail clippers only runs around $20. Or you could get two manicures for $70. Who knows...maybe they are limited edition and they will laser your name on them. All kidding aside, yes, it is important to have...

Your best bet is to go to a brick and mortar shop or attend a convention and one of the dealers will normally have a bin of about 50 or so and you can see what "shade" looks good and what fits properly. Purchasing on line is a tough one to do. Also keep in mind the TT is not supposed to fit...

Dav, unfortunately age is definitely a number one disadvantage. Nobody understands that young kids / teens can possess skills to entertain adults by means of magic. It is tough for someone like you to get gigs and it is unfortunate that most people older than you don't want to even give you an...

I would very much agree with Randy on this. I was at the Magic Castle in the close up gallery and the magician performed a muscle pass very very well with a height of about 15-18 inches I'd say. Nobody in the place even cared because it was just kind of "thrown" in the mix of effects and it flew...

Nice job Nick. The only other thing compared to what Lyle is telling you is a couple of your "get ready" moves riffling up the back are noticeable to magicians, not sure if a layman would call you out on it though. All in all thanks for sharing. Would love to see you go film this live outside...

Happy B Day Casey! Hope you do something fun and get a few cool gifts.

Theory 11 will occasionally throw them out as prizes in some of our contests but they are not sold here anymore. If you look around the Internet you can find some but you will sometimes pay a hefty price tag. I feel your pain man...I want Split Spades (Black) Lions 1st Edition...ha ha. Those...

Not too shabby Nick...I like it.

Very good points David. Thanks.

Looked great to me.

For magic to be creepy to me, I'd almost have to be in a dark basement, candle lit room with a small group of people sitting on the concrete floor and someone performing seance type effects or something of that nature. Maybe using old props that look like family heirlooms...
