    My first video

    Nice! Yep, I agree with the above. Just work on your smoothness a bit and you've got it. Overall, great moves and good presentation! When it comes down to it, practice as much as you can, then practice some more. I know it sounds cliché, but you'll see yourself improving as the days go by. -MJ

    Charity: Water Cards

    You have to remember that the price for this product is irrelevant because it's not really about the product, but the lives it's going to change because of it.

    Back To Square One

    Very much enjoyed this one! Nice choice in music and your moves are great. Outdoor locations always make for an entertaining cardistry video.

    Who here actually does xcm as a performance art?

    I find laymen are very interested in card flourishing. Typically people have seen a magic trick with cards; they've seen card sharks at the gambler's table; but they've never seen card flourishes or anything remotely like it! That being said, I can't remember anyone advocating cardistry as a...

    Saturday Night Roundtable with Steve Cohen

    1) Do you think you were always set for the stage? If you had not gotten into magic at some point do you think you'd be doing something else stage-related? 2) You're performing a show and something unexpected happens: Do you enjoy it because you can add an impromptu flare to your act, or do you...

    How do you do Pandora?

    I perform it with the part, because it's one of my favorite sections of Pandora. I remember seeing it for the first time in their Spring Jam 07 video and fell in love with the movement.

    The True Story of the Pre-Release Monarchs

    When Bayme told me about the situation, I thought for sure we would sell the first run anyway to cover any losses. After all, there was nothing wrong with them - in fact, they were ridiculously incredible! I was astounded when he told me they had decided to scrap the entire run and reprint. Yet...

    IO Error?

    What operating system and browser are you using? I'd recommend Chrome by Google for sure. Also, try converting your video to mp4 before uploading for best results.

    "The Wire" just an extension

    I don't recall theory11 saying 'you need the right materials'. As a part of the judging panel, we refer to three criteria when looking at a submission: creativity, originality, and production value. Production value is only one of the criteria, and in my opinion, the least important one...

    Where do you get your inspiration?

    First off, very nice vid! I seriously enjoyed it a lot. The camera angles and narrative made it interesting to watch, and by actually including sound, it made it all the more entertaining. One thing you could improve on is color correction. The contrast was so high that it was a bit distracting...

    How do i make my videos famous

    Here are a couple of things that make me want to watch a video: First, buy a nice camera. Webcams give a vibe that the content is going to be sloppy, ill-performed, and boring. Next, keep your videos as short as they can be without sacrificing quality. If a video is 30 seconds long, I'm twice...

    Blank Cards

    You can buy one from magic.org for around $6 here Pretty awesome deal. If you're still hooked on removing the faces yourself, a product called 'Goof Off' takes the ink and finish right off. -Michael Herp

    Acta Deceptio - Why Do We Not Believe?

    As humans, we are prone not to believe. It's within our natural inclinations. There have been many studies on how humans handle situations that are without purpose, lack logical consistency, or are plain simple. We have a desire to make 'sense' of things. When tragedy strikes, we look for a...
