    Cigarette through card ?

    I've heard of Cigarette through coin. Those aren't that expensive, and fairly easy to find. I assume that if there is a cigarette through card it works on the same principle. Have you tried searching Penguin's site, or a Google search yet? Or if you have a local magic store close to where...

    What do you guys think?

    It looks like you're using a pull of some sort. Though the short sleeves/ no jacket in a couple of the vanishes is a nice convincer. I agree though, this looks angle sensitive. Do you have any actual performance video of this effect?

    What'd I miss?

    Well there's a LOT that has changed since then. The board has practically changed over with who it's active members are. The management has changed over a bit since you were here last too. I believe John Raiker is no longer a functioning part of Theory11, having been replaced by a handful of...

    Would You?

    If everything you ever dreamed of was offered to you, and the only thing you had to give up was everything you are comfortable with, and used to in your life, would you lay them down to pursue your ambition? Or would you allow yourself to be content in the comfort of routine, and established...

    bizzare body magic ?

    I got to be honest man I don't think your ready for the real stuff yet. Try working with the gaffs a bit longer, at least they are safer!

    Pure Smoke revealed!

    Pretty funny man. And looks like E thought so to since they are pimping your link on their Facebook page.

    Booya!

    Jacob, Congratz on an awesome evening, some powerful magic, and most of all possibly landing a steady gig! It's always good to see people getting out from in front of the webcam and actually working the scene for a minute or three, as opposed to showing off their latest move on crotch...

    Congress Voting On The Stop Online Piracy Act

    Keep in mind that the burden of proof lies solely with the website and it's owners. Lets pretend for example that I get pissed off at theory11 because I don't win an SNC. All I have to do is accuse them of violating a copyright issue, and Uncle Sam steps in and shuts the site down. Am I...

    I don't know how much value my opinion is worth but I'll take a look at it for you if you wish.

    Steampunk Deck

    Well it doesn't matter what they do, there will always be someone who will say "Well you didn't do this..." so for what it is, I'm pretty happy with it.

    Arrogance

    You bring up some good points with Audacity Craig. Very thought provoking indeed!

    Steampunk Deck

    No no... You have a point with the filigree or stained wood thing. Of course I wonder if there is only so much that can be done to a deck? Perhaps we should split the difference and agree upon this product as being commercial steam punk?

    Arrogance

    Here's another interesting point. I was speaking to a mentor of mine last night on this subject and he pointed out that to play on a professional level you need to have a bit of an ego. You HAVE to know you're the best, and you have to let others know it too otherwise in the entertainment...

    Arrogance

    Perhaps, and if you can come to that conclusion through self examination and contemplation then more power to you! You've done exactly what I've hoped you would. You've considered something, thought about it, and reacted based upon those reflections. There really isn't a right or wrong way to...

    Arrogance

    In a previous post my intentions was misinterpreted to be trolling by members of moderation, and that just wasn't the case. So I've asked Rick to please allow me to try this again as I believe in the message that lays at the core behind this post. Please understand first and foremost that this...

    You Arrogant Little...

    Ever read a comment made by another magician and think to yourself: "God isn't he just full of himself?" At what point in time does time honed experience transform into arrogance?

    "Think of a Card" (Before You Read)

    Brian seems to walk the line of exposure quite a bit I've noticed. I'm surprised someone hasn't cried foul yet.

    "Think of a Card" (Before You Read)

    Seven of Clubs. It's a well known psychological force that most men will select the Ace of Spades as a "freely selected card" when put on the spot like this, while most women will select the Queen of Hearts. Oddly enough I've found that usually gay guys will lean towards the queen as well...
