Hey all, Just a thought I had this afternoon about the T11 Media Section. Some sites have a "Featured" video of the day in their media section and I think this could be great for T11 as well. For example, when a new product is released the Trailer could be the Featured Video for a period of...

Hey guys, Just wanted to share a video with you folks that I have had on my computer for a while. This video is from last November when T11 forum member, BenjaminD, flew out for my birthday. We went out filming for unsuspecting... I mean various people. This is one clip from a...

Hey folks, This is something I have thought of since this site started but never did it. The challenge is simple, answer the questions from the T11 Artist Profile Q&A's. There seems to be a belief that unless you are a published, "famous" magician your opinion doesn't matter, which is a...

Here's a question for my fellow knuckle busters. I do not know the anti-farro, but the Truffle Shuffle is one of my favorite sleights I have come across. I was wondering if anyone who can do the anti-farro has tried doing it with the right hand (springing) packet during the Truffle Shuffle...

Hey guys, A while back one of my favorite creators, and a plain damn nice guy, was Peter Harrison. I know his professional career was beginning to take off, but I haven't seen anything from him in quite some time. I'm considering ordering from his site and just wanted to see if anyone...

Hey folks, I'm trying to download the new 1on1, Cookie Cutter, and on each attempt the download fails and I get the error message "decompression failed". The last time this happened it was not my computer, but an invalid file type that was the issue. Wanted to let the t11 crew and all of you...

I, like many, have been inspired in my life by the great and legendary comedian, artist, and profound and prolific speaker, George Carlin. Just before his death this past year it was announced that he would be honored with the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor later that year. He never made it...

On Edge By Michael Paul Effect: A card is freely selected, signed, and returned to the deck. Both the top and bottom of the deck are seen to show that the card has not been controlled. The deck is then fully wrapped in a sheet of newspaper to be made "sleight of hand" proof. A knife is then...

Well, being I'm having first hand experience with this at the moment, I figured it'd be a good time to post this. Lets talk about the entertainer side of magic for a moment instead of the technical stuff. What do you guys do to get well if you are sick before a gig? I am currently blasting...

Hey guys, Just wanted to share this lecture I watched online. Its by one of my favorite online "guru's", Chris Pirillo. Its his lecture at MacWorld 2009 on community. I think anyone in a community, including the magic brotherhood and online forums, could benefit from watching the...

Instinct By Matthew Mello __________________ Effect: This is Matthew's (safe) approach to the spike under cup version of the classic russian roulette routine. A nail is placed under 1 of 4 cups. The cups are then freely mixed by the spectator with the magicians back turned. After...

Hey guys, here's my version of Hedbergs Peak by Dan and Dave. Feel free to give me your thoughts, constructive criticism always welcome. NOTE: There is a moment when showing the 3 that you may see as a *flash*. I actually think this somewhat enhances it. Just a note...

For all you aspiring pen manipulators out there... watch this guy... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LbittLn84cY C P.S. Make sure you watch the video all the way through P.P.S. I feel like a horrible person for laughing... but hahahaha

http://media.theory11.com/battles/battle.php?id=786 All votes are most appreciated in the "Any Effect" battle (link above). It's my first battle here on T11 and admittedly not as great as I'd like. But nonetheless, please take a look at our videos and vote however you feel. Thanks, C

Hey folks, I'm subscribed to Dan on YouTube and just saw this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E0ViswBU6Dw Thought it'd be great if the T11 community gave a big congratulations to Dan and Temika. Congrats! C

Just wanted to discuss something I have thought for years. Ever since I first saw McBride do a backpalm pivot I have hated that move... Is it just me, or is it very much "Hey, there's a card in my hand but I'm so damn good that you can't see it!". Anyone else feel this way? C

Hey folks, So a little while back there was a thread on magicians who use the social site, Twitter. Well there is now a magic history profile on there that will send out random and interesting facts from the history of magic. http://twitter.com/HistoryOfMagic Thought you'd like to...

I just pan seared my finger with flash paper. And after a few obscenities, went back to practicing like nothing had happened, finger torched and all... This may seem a tad pointless, but don't you just enjoy those moments where despite anything else, your love of the art shines through? Just...

Usually I don't ask for recommendations on products but I wanted to in this case. Out of the above books, which would you recommend for good, advanced (But PRACTICAL) card effects and sleights? Thanks folks, C

I was wondering what recommendations you guys had for big magic suppliers that you can trust. I've ordered allot through Hank Lee and Magic Pro Shop, however neither of him have everything I need for one order... of course... And paying double shipping is something I'd like to avoid (not to...
