    Best Source of Impromptu Card Magic

    Look no further, my friend. Paul Cummins' has two sets of lecture notes available titled FASDIU and FASDIU II ("From A Shuffled Deck In Use"). Nothing but good, strong impromptu card magic you can do on the spot with a shuffled deck. Something else you may want to consider is Kostya Kimlat's...

    A suggestion to improve T11's DVDs

    I too would like to see more performances. Also, I'd also like to see someone learn how to focus the damn camera once in a while. I get that it's supposed to be part of a style but it's WAY too overdone.

    theory11 roundtable discussion - Daniel Garcia Edition

    Thanks for the help, Jack. Much appreciated. BTW, how did you find the page with the mp3? The only page I could find was the page I listed with the media player.

    theory11 roundtable discussion - Daniel Garcia Edition

    Podcast? I'm on the page with the roundtable discussion with Garcia from last night (Roundtable Discussion), but I can't find the feed or how to download it; I just see a media player. It's listed as a podcast so I'm assuming there is a feed and way to download it somewhere. I want to download...

    Quick Prophet Question...

    Thanks for the replies, guys. After thinking on buying this for quite a long time I decided to go ahead and buy the DVD/download tonight. Just finished watching it and man, do I SOOOO NOT regret it. This is a great rendition/handling of Page's effect. Tom and T11 really did a nice job with this...

    Quick Prophet Question...

    I have a quick question as well: How many of the bills can you hand out before and after the effect? Thanks.

    Unnecessary Patter = Useless & Irrelevant?

    There are good guitar solos and bad guitar solos. There are good writers and bad writers. There are good dancers and bad dancers. There are good actors and bad actors. There is good patter and bad patter. Not every guitar solo is unnecessary, not every writer doesn't know how to...

    What kind of magic and why?

    Cards are my main weapon of choice. I don't do anything flashy--hardly any flourishes. My taste in card magic is pretty simple and direct. (I just bought Dangerous Vol. 1 and right now I'm IN LOVE with both Bad Influence and Angle Zero. Both are right up my alley!) Aside from cards I tend to...

    Daniel Garcia For Theory11 Artist!

    I REALLY don't get this thread. What difference does it make in any of your lives if DG is an "official" artist at T11 or not? I think you guys are allowing yourselves to get wrapped up in things that really aren't important. If you love T11 and you love DG, knowing that DG has a good...

    Help with Magic Course at Camp

    I don't want to give away that much, and I don't think the younger kids would be able to do it or bother putting in the practice. I'm just looking for some things they can go home and do that night for their family and friends. Thanks for the reply though. I appreciate any and all suggestions...

    Help with Magic Course at Camp

    I'm working at a nature camp this summer and the kids are all really great. I've been performing magic throughout the summer and some of the kids have really shown an interest in getting involved in magic. I want to help nourish that interest, so, in a week or two, I'm going to do an "Intro to...

    Thoughts on Criss Angel

    I'll just say this: forget our opinions as magicians for a moment; way too many laypeople I know are seeing right through Criss Angel and calling him out on using stooges and camera tricks. Not good.

    Fake $100 Bills?

    In my opinion Prophet needs to be done with real $100 bills. It doesn't make sense to use any other denomination. If you were performing real magic you would turn the 1s into 100s, not 20s. Using fake bills (billion/million/photocopied/etc.) is also just not going to have the same impact...

    Anytime Anywhere by Jay Sankey

    VERY nice review, man. AA is one of the best purchases I ever made. Great value and it has some really great magic on there. I have to disagree with this though: The Anywhere Wands concept is very clever. One of the best ditching methods I've EVER come across, and it adds humor and audience...

    Cool Off Tudor

    Nothing about our dialogue has been universal. And I have no clue what "message" you're referring to. Clarity, my friend. Clarity.

    Prohibiton

    Great effect. Requires a gimmick. Definitely worth it though. I was doing it quite a bit for a while, but have since switched to the classic coin in bottle. Borrow a beer bottle, borrow a quarter--boom. Best reactions I've gotten with any ___ in bottle effects. Do it in clubs and bars all the...

    Cool Off Tudor

    Rather than immediately typing out a knee-jerking reaction, why don't you take the time to actually read what you're responding to next time. I never said I thought Tudor was a bad teacher. Reading is fundamental.
