Ohh yea. that con is going on right now isnt it?

I'm going to bump this in hopes that the mods and T11 staff read it.

Not that I know. But I'm still kind of new.

So you do a screening as a precursor to the process. You have the aspiring contestant submit a 3 minute or less video uploaded to youtube or Vimo detailing why they want to be in the contest, why the prize would be cool to win, and why they think they'd be worthy of such an opportunity. If...

Of course. So Round 1 prize pool could be your standard SNC prize stuff. Deck of cards here 1 on 1 download there. Simple stuff. Round 2 prize support, have your video promoted or featured on Street of Cards, or T11, or something like that. Get you some press. Maybe throw in a deck of...

So I'm just thinking off the top of my head here, so this may need tweaked or adjusted. But if we were to do an event that offered a prize that epic, then the event itself would in turn also need to be epic. I'm thinking something that would be multi leveled. Probably involving creativity...

Hey Raiker, JB. Hope your listening.... I was thinking today of a prize that would be worthy of the kind of epic event that T11 is known to run. Granted, I have no clue what the event would be, but I know well what the prize I'd like to recommend for your consideration. I'd...

Fort Minor! Thanks! I couldn't remember the artist or the song title, and it was driving me nuts! This just got added to my play list.

We all have been there. You've got a gig later today, and you feel like crap. You've been in a rut. You're magic doesn't feel like it's getting any better, your friends tell you you're chasing a pipe dream, and if you get paid for your work, it never seems like enough to pay the bills or...

Obviously there's a LOT of open ends on this idea that will have to be hammered out if someone decides to use it, but I'm confident that these problems can be overcome. In fact, many of your objections are already dealt with on a daily bases here on the boards as is. Here's what I've heard...

So I was reading a newsletter from Jeff McBride today and one of the subjects he talks about is mentorship. Having a mentor is helps a lot. It's always good to have someone you can go to for advice, thoughts and insight. Not just someone who can show you tricks, but help you develop...

Justin your absolutely right. It was probably wrong style for the wrong crowd. I knew the moment I took the stage that I was a square peg being put into a round hole. I was uneasy about my act because I know (and respect) peoples beliefs and I know my act is a hot button full of controversial...

I think that the point of getting the details before you commit to a party can only go so far. Of course that is something you should do. However you can't control your environment 100% of the time. The hypothetical situation I'm purposing takes into consideration that 2% chance that you...

I think I was getting at the point of: "Do you try to compromise the quality of your performance by changing aspects in your act at the last minute to accommodate your performance conditions, do you perform your act as you always have shameless of the potential to possibly offend or put off...

Here's the situation. You're a magician brought in to entertain a private party for an hour. Since you're a smart magician you always bring a little extra with you just in case you need to substitute something due to malfunction or the show runs over. However nothing could have prepared...

So I recently got a download of Watermark from T11, and it's my first experience with a Theory11 product. The effect was just as much as what I expected it to be. In the hands of the right performer this effect is lethal. So I was performing at the Bar Show at Magicopolis in Santa Monica...

Well shoot my luck! I didn't expect you guys to actually use that idea. Damn, if I didn't have a gig to go do. Congratz to the winner! I can't wait to look at these vids tomorrow! good effort to everyone who participated.

That's really an interesting point. Playing with cards out in the open can very well be a hook. You wouldn't normally expect to see just anyone playing with cards, let alone with any kind of skill. If you do then they are usually either a gambler or a magician. Either way you slice it, they...

No web you're dead on the mark. Thats exactly what i'm talking about. Something that makes them take interest in you.

And a good suggestion at that. I was in the process of doing that when my last computer crashed. I lost EVERYTHING. So I'm picking the pieces back up as we speak with an end goal to publish a PDF. Canadamagic: Your in luck! Just forum search it. This is actually a old thread. I've...
