    What to practice

    Card College 1 - everything in there. Depending on your skill level and natural ability with cards, I might suggest picking up Card College 2. In most cases, however, CC1 is fine for a while. Welcome to t11.

    BlueCrownMagic.

    Pandrea does indeed have one of the best passes I've ever seen on video. The Jason England and Alex Pandrea downloads are probably two of the finest resources you'll find of the classic pass for cheap in a video format. That being said, not a fan of the rest of the site. Color scheme is nice...

    Cardistry - What's The Point?

    The Andrei-RDChopper debates are more entertaining and a lot easier to read and understand than the Bohr-Einstein debates. Shame - it's one of the best I've read on this board. At any rate, I think art is art when one looks at it and is able to perceive it as such. In that sense, most of what...

    Magician Terms Laypeople Don't Understand

    You and every famous magician everyone idolizes. Thanks for pointing it out to some of the guys here who might not've encountered the problem... Perhaps due to lack of performing? If one performs with decent patter that isn't narrating everything you do, it shouldn't be too big of a problem...

    Illusionist Scene

    I don't have an actual video source, but I have a friend I once saw doing a sharpie color change - not just the cap, the entire thing. He'd shake it up and down in one quick motion and sleeve one of them while pulling the other one out, using the aid of his slightly angled arms. Not sure if...

    Cardistry - What's The Point?

    It just bugs me that magicians have to see everything MOTIVATED. If everything required motivation to the extent magicians expect when giving feedback on someone else's work - why's the magic motivated? 99.9% of the time, I can guarantee you, magic will have no outright motivation (if not 100% -...

    Illusionist Scene

    X = object to be changed (in your example, the pen-like object) Y = object X is to be changed into (in your example, the flute) Sleeve X and retrieve Y from the other - a basic idea. Play around with vanishing and reproductions using sleeving. I haven't seen the Illusionist in a LONG...

    Cardistry - What's The Point?

    Honestly? Because I want to. And I can. No offense, but whenever threads like this are posted, it makes me wonder why the hell all of you guys need some motivation or reason to do any little thing in life. EDIT: Sorry, despite the fact that my post may come across as harsh, I still stand...

    Ghost Coin by Adriel Portillo

    If this was supposed to be a joke - not that funny.

    Unknown White Deck of Cards?

    On an unrelated note, does anyone know who Portillo is? Judging by his signature, he's either trying to copy mentalists around here or he used to be on the forums. In any case, they're custom printed decks - any deck being sold retail would have a design and a barcode somewhere on the actual...

    Sharpies used by magicians.

    48.6875 In the long run, the Sherpa seems nicer. For those that want to see mathematical proof: With a metal silver sharpie: $7 + (x)(y), or $7 + (3)(x) where x is the amount of sharpies you'll ever use (substitute $3 for y). With a sherpa: $30 + (x)(y), where x is the amount of sharpies...

    Yet Another Camera Thread

    Ask it yourself, yes, but I'd personally want the best opinion I could get. One which you're more likely to find on a cinematography forum.

    Yet Another Camera Thread

    He himself admits there's lots of threads around here on the subject. JB recently said they re-vamped the search engine, so I guess there's really no excuse to having skipped reading those and going to another site. Not that I have a personal vendetta against him or anything, it's just that I...

    Yet Another Camera Thread

    The way I interpreted that: "I'm too lazy to go do my own camera research but since there are already a ton of annoying threads like this on t11, I'll just contribute to the waste of bandwidth by adding one more." Have you ever TRIED googling keywords? There are people in the real world...

    Do magician's ever have a poker night where anyone who comes is supposed to cheat?

    I give up. You guys are right. P.S. There's better ways to do blockout work than with a sharpie. Better marking systems than Madison's, too. P.P.S. I'm kidding. I just don't feel like arguing about it anymore. P.P.P.S. But seriously. There's better ways than that blood system stuff..

    Bicycle vs Tally vs Bee

    Chances are it's from Ohio. I thought that too, at first - until I got sudden degraded packs of cards. The KY bees now have two cards with barcodes in them, and one of the two will have the date printed. Decks currently at MY local CVS are printed mid-October, and they... I'm hesitant to say...

    Discard Culling

    Going to keep this short and sweet, but has anyone here ever messed around with discard culling? I've been playing around with it for the past few days, and the only actual resource I've found on the subject seems to be "The Unreal Work" by Jason England and Paul Wilson - which has long since...

    Yet Another Camera Thread

    I love it when people themselves point out that this isn't a professional cinematographer's forums and STILL post questions about cameras. Please, for future reference, if anybody has a question about video cameras - go to a god damn tech site and sign up there. There are people who spend...

    Playing Cards wiki

    Should look into vintage designs. There are WAY older decks that people actually collect - at this rate, it just looks like you're telling people things they already know about common, not-too-collectible cards on the market. But nice idea.
