I appreciate a lot what you're doing, my highest respect to you mate. I can (though not for your extraordinary length of time) associate with the continued illness of a loved one. I wish for the best and I hope all goes well. Klif, stay strong, you're doing an important and wonderful job...

Hey all, I've been talking magic with friends a fair bit recently and I thought I'd share something which has a bit of relevance to Theory11. This will be a long-ish post, if you can't be bothered to read it, that's fine, don't read on, it won't be succint. But I would firstly like to say I...

Yep yep that's the main concern coming out of the thing I think. And yes - 52 Memories is fantastic. My favourite routine so far in the book has to be Alone in the Dark, I just love the presentation.

Pushing the card in was just a tad hesitant, as was forming the fan, but only slightly. And then the fan was really quick for no reason.

Hmm... Derren's OotW is good, but it's not my favourite... I used to use it though, but I replaced it with a different OotW handling some time ago which I like a fair bit better (which is quite something considering that yes, Derren's is very very good). Spectator shuffles and mixes the cards...

My friend (who's on this forum, if you see this dude... LOL) screwed up Invisible Deck (I know, I know...) a little while ago. Presented it beautifully. Built it up. Grabbed his Invisible Deck... And dropped the entire thing in a puddle of water. We lol'd. A guy who busks near me who I've...

Wow. This is pretty much exactly the same thing as a friend created/showed at a jam session a little while ago. Is it worth making a 1-on-1 for? In my opinion no, but other people may well like it so good on you guys and keep it up.

Well, I don't like walkaround magic very much, primarily because I don't find it at all interesting or engaging for me to perform with. I far prefer my stage and table routines and effects than my walkaround and the majority of walkaround effects which are astoundingly similar. So I prefer to...

My thoughts exactly.

Wow, which grave did you dig this thread out of?

Hey man, thanks a lot for the comment, I really appreciate it :) Whilst I didn't add anything to the structure of the routine it was definitely a really big goal of mine to make a handling that was clean and elegant and pretty much just looked nice - all the swirls and turns in picking up the...

I'm sure it was, but doesn't it deserve some thought as to why Ricky himself would teach what treb is saying?

Hey man. What you're looking at is something commonly called Flourishing/Cardistry, or XCM (the terms don't have much difference, although there is a differentiation between their styles). There's a cardistry board on these forums so have a look there. The best places to start learning are a...

XB or The Encyclopedia of Playing Card Flourishes are probably the best DVD and book to start off with respectively. Comparing the two, Encyclopedia probably wins but yeah.

Wow. Someone needs manners. Why the rudeness? No need to get all sarcastic over a link. You sound rather like a small child. Have a toy.

...Two decks of playing cards? Incidentally the link didn't work for me.

Agreed. If you can't appreciate the material in Mark Wilson, I'd venture to say you're not experienced enough in magic to appreciate it. It's considerably steeper here in Australia (found it for $50 - don't have the money yet) but I've been buying a fair few books lately so it won't be on the...

Haha this is awesome. Nice work Brakkiss, loved it :D

Ditto. Nice going J.

Oh yeah, you're right about that romeo, IT work is perfect for this sort of stuff, and at least for card levitations, it's pretty easy as well.
