Side steals usually aren't the most inconspicuous of sleights. And if you suck at them, it's terribly obvious.

Where do you live? (Give us the Country)

Or, Grease Lightning with fewer cards. ;)

I would shoot a PM to either Morgician, Steerpike, or Thrallmind to discuss this matter and have your questions answered. Or, possibly, one of the artists may help you out.

I recently switched over to Mac, and didn't have Photoshop for Mac; so I lost all my work :/ But this is my first draft of my business card, made using Photoshop CS4 for Mac. I'm still working out ideas for possible phrases in the middle.

Oh, me too, Kevin - sometimes there are certain phases in a trick where some phrase, word, action, etc. just fits better than anything else - nothing wrong with using the best! You, I, and a few other people I know of just don't like that because it can sometimes cause a self-contained reaction...

Kevin's right. Besides, with any tiny amount of research, you'd easily find out that Tally-Ho and Bicycle brands' standard playing cards are very much alike; almost strikingly identical. It just comes down to personal preference. If you live in the UK, go with Tally-Hos, as those are more...

Thank you for the responses; in turn, I would like to ask but one favor of all of you who read (and are still reading) this thread: PLEASE act on what you drew from this conversation. Don't just think about it and not change. As I see it, the true "magic" is crumbling (at least in the online...

How is the stage set up? Will you have an external screen that will show a close-up of what you guys are doing? Giving us more information will only result in a better, more thought-out response.

Vista Print - www.vistaprint.com The above site has a few cool designs that you can pick and choose from. Just adding on the cmak15's post. Personally, I use Photoshop CS for all of my graphics work, including business cards. It's a great program, and can be easily used by beginners or experts...

I told you we see eye-to-eye - I tell every new magician I meat that performance is the key to every effect, and to come up with their own patter; don't use someone elses' (especially if you're copying the patter used by a widely-known artist - chances are, hundreds of other little "performers"...

Some effects, if performed properly (and again, read my post about patter - body language is included in this!) and with the right body language/gestures/facial expressions to communicate, or connect, with the audience, can be done with absolutely no patter whatsoever, and even set to music...

If this were the case for the majority of camera-only performances of tricks, I would have no spark with which to light a flame of contest with the massive about of videos submitted to T11/YouTube. I see exactly where you're coming from, and I do this myself as well - though for a very select...

AN ESSAY ON THE MORALITY AND HABITS OF THE MODERN MAGIC COMMUNITY (at least, as it pertains to the online community on Theory11) Hello, my fellow Theory11 member. Before we get started, I would like to make a rather simple request- one that some of you may ignore. I simply request that you read...

Ah. Yes, I agree with you - I would never perform Matthew Bich's TNR during a close-up performance.

Which TNR? There are plenty of methods to achieve the amazing effect of a torn and restored card... I myself have created a rather visual, interactive, and very practical TNR method.

I agree with Michael. D'Lites are awesome for kid shows.

... Predictable. Annoying. Not impressive. Plus, it's not nearly original. And as for your post above... You can't "do anything you need to" with what you did in your trick... You didn't force the King of Hearts like he was asking. Stop "creating new, amazing, hard-hitting" tricks and...

You seem like someone in the same book as me. I'm Ben, nice to meet you.

Yes, the 1-on-1s are a time-limited (three days) video download. Meaning you have three days to download to your computer/flash drive before it's removed. If you have a problem downloading them (say you're locked out or something), just call Theory11 (the toll free number is at the bottom...
