    Where to get this hat?

    Hmm... you might have to check a local magic shop if you have one. Other than that, I don't know.

    Cards, cards, and more cards.

    No one can really tell you what cards to get because everyone has different preferences. If you have the funds, get one of each and decide... I have been into custom decks for about a year now and I haven't been able to get through every deck thoroughly so just take your time.

    What's the Greatest Gimmicked Trick Ever?

    I really like the ID and Distortion above all. WOW... I like it. It's quite visual and everything, but something about the sleeve just bothers me when comparing it to Distortion.

    July 08 :: Purist.

    I think a purist is sort of a bad thing. Someone who is purist makes me think of someone who wants an art to stay as true to what it was at its infancy instead of seeing it evolve. The definition of a purist is "someone who insists on great precision and correctness" and I feel that if...

    Ditching a card

    Does your effect invole a signed card? In that case, putting the sharpie back in your pocket is a perfect reason to go into your pockets. When I first got into magic, I always thought that magicians let spectators sign cards so it would be "one of a kind" but really, it creates so much...

    Ditching a card

    I'm not sure what the effect is exactly, but these guys are right about just palming it off. If possible, when the effect is done and your audiene is oohing and ahhing, palming off the card should be easy as everyone will be looking away... if that's not possible you might want to explain your...

    Fundamental Routines

    It is a good one... I was more wondering about types of routines... What would that fall into?

    Fundamental Routines

    For a beginner magician, what kinds of routines do you think one should learn when just starting out. Or, what do you think are the essential routines magicians should learn when first learning. My ideas are: - ACR - It really helps you create your character, patter, and basic slights -...

    Saturday Night Contest : What You Think

    That's totally unfair because Dan and Dave will team up against each other like they're the Hardy Boys or something... not fair at all.

    Distortion question

    Mine has yet to run out after a few months... however, this trick really pays for itself. People just feel the need to give you money after seeing this performed... I know a lot of people that like a similar trick called "Wow" but in my head it really doesn't look as good as this, plus this is...

    Surfaced!

    Firstly, I am an English major and your net slang doesn't bother me a bit... the purpose of language is to communicate not for all to be speak exactly the same (Though I had no idea what 4rm meant at first). And secondly, does anyone know if D&D's site will have anything else up for sale once...

    False Assumptions About Magic...

    I was talking to a local magician who says one of his friends just use bridge sized cards if they think their hands are too small. We both agreed that it was kind of silly as most people can just palm a card, even if it's really tight... Very good essay BTW. I think most people lose sight...

    Tomorrow Baby

    I'm excited... I hope there's a lot of tricycle footage.

    Trilogy Tricks reactions

    Tivo 2.0 is awesome, but sadly doesn't get much reaction... one of my boys does it and no one seems to care. I feel that the way he presents it, there's sort of a disconnect between the second card displayed and the audience. Other that, The Queens I think is the best trick off of the...

    Magic That Rocks

    This isn't on one of the big sites like T11 or Ellusionist, but Glenn West's "Forgery" has been getting good reaction for me... I do a similar patter to Paschall does on Believe when I perform it and it's been doing well for me. But also, I think the placement of a trick often gets people to...

    Cyril Takayama

    Everyone who has seen him loves him... What I love is the fact that his magic just transcends language because it's so easy to follow even if you don't know Japanese. I think a lot of people on here probably know him... at least people that have purchased Distortion.

    Who is the girl?

    I don't know if it's her, but he said that Rebeca is wife when explaining one of the flourishes.

    Virginia City Shuffle

    I personally didn't perform it, but someone did at a local Magic show in Waterloo (Ontario, Canada) at the Kind of Magic - Magic Shop - and it went over really, really well. He won the competition with it actually. He's a really funny guy and he put a really nice spin on the presentation of...

    Daniel Garcia For Theory11 Artist!

    He's definitely a friend of the site and I'm sure that once the right project comes along or the right trick comes along they'll probably work together. I'd really like to see more releases like Dangerous off the site and I think a new compilation of Garcia's tricks would be cool.
