When I don't practice well enough, or make a mistake, it often happens... It may be because they saw a move, it may have just been too obvious. Occasionally, VERY occasionally, someone is just clever or has knowledge of magic. But most often this is not the case.

Well, it may be a bit of overkill too say don't perform new stuff to friends - in fact, earlier today I enlisted the help of two friends who are coming over for the sole purpose of testing new tricks... As for this particular friend, that is probably a good idea, just not performing for him in...

He meant T11's audience, i.e. they should not deceive the consumer, the magician.

I agree with DavidMisner - unfortunately the market is saturated with DVD's being produced by young people who can barely even teach the material. It's great that you want to put yourself out there, but from your YouTube videos, I don't know if you have the skill or the experience to contribute...

Would you really? Regardless, according to Squ!rrel's argument, anything unoriginal and available shouldn't be sold; he's not rating the move according to it's quality by those two criteria. If you'd buy a DL, consider this then: The guys who have bought this have found a control they...

You need to tell us more about yourself - what sort of magic do you want to learn, what rough skill level are you? Art of Astonishment, any volume, is incredible and on the easier side of things. On the other hand, By Forces Unseen is all cards and incredibly difficult. Tangled Web is more...

frezzing aces, It's working for me. Surfaced is $40.

If you're good enough and practice it tightly enough, then yes. It takes more effort than just a solo performance though, you have to choreograph and plan it really tightly and know your stuff very very well. Performance experience (plays, etc.) would also be beneficial so you can play off each...

A day later, it continues. The hypocrisy and ignorance is astounding.

Practically no sybil flourish is original - should we ditch all of those because they're unoriginal? Originality is a quality - but the truth is, less than 1% of products have them because they are all based on the principles of magic written by those before us. How many of your effects use the...

That was among the more non-sensical posts I've read.

Not just you man... I too have been back, and he's still the same also. Funny thing is, I still go there - but only when I know an assistant is on duty, and not him, and they're wonderful guys. I asked about the size difference of a porper once between the regular and E sized ones. He stabbed a...

Yeah, I watched everything on there - I liked the videos, good to see Wayne perform.

Alright, that's fair enough, I can see/accept your argument there. Something your post reminded me of, someone much earlier, page 3 from memory, mentioned alternatives, such as a classic pass 1 on 1. I'd just like to mention that while a lot of your (neutrino's) suggestions would be cool, the...

Cookies for all! That is impressive Sean... But yeah, I totally agree, ditto with my magic circle. You know, the funny thing is, I was just thinking the other night - the first guy, the guy from school. He's the one person I have never told I perform magic. In fact, I'm subconsciously still...

Perhaps there lies a contradiction in T11's aims then? Don't forget the many aims of 1-on-1's, amongst which is to help beginners develop a stable base for their magic - no value judgments on DttDU, but just generally. Naturally, what is good for the beginner's skill is rarely going to be the...

Thanks ElisG, again, I really appreciate your comments. I just wanted to mention here some other opinions in the same thread: On sustained, persistent sarcasm: Apparently, it's not just me, but some people see this same thing. I mean, take these opinions: These guys liked it. Good for...

I can definitely see where you're coming from. Again, without passing judgment, I just wanna throw two things out there (this time on topic!). First: Just because an item is cheap, should not discount the cost factor. Many argue that even though $5 is not a huge sum of money, it's still...

Hey all, I just wanted to bring out something that annoyed me a little while ago following the release of Death to the Double Undercut. I posted this opinion in the main thread, which I'll quote here - you may also want to have a look at the DttDU "review" to understand fully what I'm saying...

Guys, First off, I'd like to apologise if that post came off as ranty, it was a little since that did almost make me quit magic so it was a little personal typing it. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure those guys are awesome in real life, but yeah... dragon521, ElisG and adjones, thank you very much...
