This is such a hot topic on the forums, and it seems to pop up once in every few months or so. Usually it goes something like "I'm a magician, and I want to pick up on girls? How do I use my magic to do so?" Then that gets followed by three or four pages of people saying you shouldn't do it...

Oh for the love of god why does my mind go blank now when I started typing?! Urgh. There's a TNR that Kevin James was talking about a year ago and it kills, I just can't remember what it's called. For lack of memory recolation I'd pimp Lloyd's effect as well. I've heard good things about it...

Can I be honest with you? Please don't take this a bad way. My immediate reply after seeing the picture was: "What? Another new custom deck?" I have to hand Ellusionist credit. They managed to do to playing cards what Pokemon did to baseball cards. They created this fad within our...

Guys, Corinda isn't newb material. Corinda is a definitive work, sure, but it's not a light read by any means. He's much better off cutting his teeth on Osterlind or This Is Mentalism.

Sents I think

Now it is true... I haven't ordered from them in several years (and thankfully so now) However I did email them today requesting to remove myself from their mailing list and explaining to them why I was no longer going to use them. I got a reply from Aron who I assume is Hank's son, now in...

I'm going to go with probably Doc Eason or Pop Haydn.

And with Stories like this is yet another reason why I am adamantly faithful to Theory11's customer service. News like this just makes me sick. Thank god there are companies out there with solid ethics like T11. http://www.thebostonchannel.com/news/30805445/detail.html

I wouldn't support the website just because it's based in China. China has a long standing reputation for ignoring copy right laws, and frequently rip or bootleg DVD's flooding the grey market with knock offs. There may not be anything wrong with the quality, but the ethics to which it was...

I am disappointed in the Theory11 for this weeks contest. I don't see how a bowling grudge match is even remotely related to either perfecting the performance art of magic, or furthering our study or skills in cardistry. Honestly, I just would expect better with prizes like a brick of cards...

With all do respect to the Theory11 team, as you all know that I respect each and every single one of you for your contributions to magic and this forum, I would like to urge you to consider using less skill-less challenges such as "Guess what card I wrote on this peace of paper", "Shuffle from...

I can't comment on the technicality of the cuts involved, I just know that I can't do half of that. It's something special to dedicate something that you've worked hard on perfecting to the memory of a loved one. I've got to give you props there. Honestly I've never seen the commercial payoff...

I'm way late to the table here, but Ekaterina confirmed my suspicion. I was going to suggest that it was some kind of prototype or first run attempt at creating the product. I'm sure what Theory11 is producing will be more fleshed out, better material, and better filmed. A lot of the time...

I don't see any problem with encouraging someone to follow their heart and pursue their ambitions. Maybe he can do Criss Angel better than Criss Angel did? By the time the kid's old enough to make the scene Angel will already been yesterday's news by several years.

You don't need the Cafe to follow and talk to the legends though... Facebook and Twitter have made antiquated forums like the Cafe obsolete. Whit "Pop" Haydn is very VERY active on Facebook (and a good friend!). I would highly recommend you search him out and follow him on there.

The following story is true, but the names have been changed to protect the muggles. I happen to be out and about my daily business getting ready for a show I was going to do that evening. I had to stop by the local magic store to pick up some supplies like loops, a couple decks of cards, a...

Yes but quality over quantity if you me.

Because the Cafe desperately tries to establish an elite air about their forums by making every registrant unique to the person who creates it. By denying free web emails they, at least in theory, prevent users from easily creating false accounts or multiple accounts. In my most honest and...

I think I'm late to the table on this one but I read something that Pop Hayden published sometime ago that really stayed with me even to today. Magic is a little like music. When you first start learning to play an instrument you don't begin with your own stuff. You start with chords and...
