    Reputation Makers: What's Yours?

    This is very true. Because I'd like to think that there's a minority that do.

    Young Magician of the Year

    My advice would be to show that you actually have a knowledge and appreciation for the art. Any young magician can google "magic", find Ellusionist and Theory11, and perform Witness, Indecent, etc. How many can say the same about performing Vernon - the greatest magician in history? He wasn't...

    Standard Shipping?

    jon, I do not wish to attack Theory11, but is there any reason we can't choose flat rate envelopes? For guys like myself and Blink, it'd make things a whole lot easier. I understand the argument about protection but surely a generation of sellers and other companies have proven that this is a...

    Reputation Makers: What's Yours?

    What's a Vernon? Is it a sort of thumb tip?

    Paranormal Phenomenon

    My favourite must be breatharianism. Its leaders are so capable of surviving on no food that they've even been spotted gorging on Big Macs. This tasty treat has turned into somewhat of a nemesis for practicing breatharians; to everyone's great surprise, once deprived of Big Macs (and all food in...

    Reputation Makers: What's Yours?

    lols. Anyone heard of anything outside of Theory11 and E? Just wondering.

    Standard Shipping?

    I believe the reason they gave was simply that they prefer the extra protection of the box. But yes, I wouldn't be against that option if we so chose.

    Time Machine

    Absolutely. If either of those things works for you, go for it. Just don't leave your sense of humour or your personality at home.

    Standard Shipping?

    Well honestly, to be fair to Theory11, and it's been gone over before - they don't set the prices, the USPS does, and that's the rate for a Priority Mail Box. So it seems like beating the dead horse's twin brother to be blaming Theory11 for ridiculous shipping prices - though I certainly...

    Time Machine

    Haha, it was only a matter of time :P Hmm. Well I won't say that it's not my style... I just... Like, ok, my thinking is this. Say you pull the trick off flawlessly, and the spectators are amazed, they jump and shout, etc. What are they thinking in this moment? "Holy crap that's magic!" or...

    Theory11 Point System - Suggestion

    Michael, your signature is very disturbing. I agree that people will always find fault in everything T11 does - it certainly seems that way when a product they don't like comes out, or even something free like the SNCs. Just remember they don't have to do anything, least of all SNCs, it's their...

    Palming, to what extent?

    I know a few... As I mentioned to you in PM, for the most part, yeah, the three palms taught are all you'll need, they're probably among the most versatile. Nonetheless there are variations on everything, which leads to different palms. Sometimes this is due to personal preference - Bert...

    Which Apocalypse?

    Like Steerpike, I don't have Apocalypse, but I do own his Close-up Card Magic, which is out of print, but available fairly often on ebay - a brilliant book, and gigantic as well. Or you could try something like Jack Parker's 52 Memories, one of my favourite books also.

    Which pass do you like the best?

    It's a variation of the Herman pass created by (I believe) Alain Nu, and taught in his booklet, Any Card... It was created for the specific purpose of shifting a small number of cards from the bottom to the top under the cover of a backwards riffle.

    How?

    It's alright, no worries at all. To be perfectly honest I don't really have much of a clue where the best sources for the trick (it's called Card to Mouth though, by the way) are. There are several versions - sometimes the card ends up folded inside your mouth, sometimes it just hangs from your...

    How?

    Hi jshrz, and welcome to the forums. I guess I'll be the first to tell you that this isn't the place for sharing secrets. What we can do is give you sources that you can go out and buy to learn tricks that you want to learn. But it is considered highly unethical to participate in or ask for...

    Which pass do you like the best?

    Depends on situation and personal preference, really. Lots of people seem to like the dribble pass here. The distortion pass is amazing.

    Stage Performance

    You should time everything - for fifteen minutes, no more than 3 effects or you'll go way overtime, if you routine everything properly. Well it kinda depends what you're into but you just need to make sure everyone can see what you're doing... Effects that play big (note: this does NOT mean...

    Andthensome: Limited Orange Edition

    I'm tempted to buy it because this is orange. In other news, my disdain for Dan & Dave magic has yet to diminish.
