Their old press was sold back to the manufacturer under the condition that it could no longer be used to print playing cards of any kind. Their new press is made by that same manufacturer (it's just a newer model). In theory, the new press should enable much greater quality and accuracy in the...

I don't believe that to be the case - no more than to be expected. As a company, surely they try to reduce operating costs whenever possible. But the issue here was achieving a level of comfort with the new presses in the new facility. The individuals that I have spoken to and given critiques to...

D ICE - Shipping on the DVD's is INCLUDED with cost of registration. So you're getting access to watch the presentations live, a full year of access to the EMC site to watch them later, a DVD of all of the presentations (and more), and shipping of the DVD - for $75. Whaaaaaat?! It's an...

Registration includes access to the videos online for a full year - so no worries there. You'll also receive all of the presentations on DVD, so if you'd prefer to watch them on your big screen TV, you're covered.

Just to clarify this - the smaller pips will be fixed soon. I spoke directly with USPCC brass about that issue around a month ago (link), and can confirm that it will be resolved soon. I have no idea as to what the inspiration was behind the change, or it it was intentional or not. But I do know...

Luis de Matos doesn't do anything "halfway." Everything he touches turns to magically delicious gold. A rock star in Europe, Luis is a champion of bringing magic to the masses through countless television specials and arena tours to audiences of 30,000+. But this isn't just about Luis - it's...

Not necessarily, I would say. Anyone that performs regularly of course comes across spectators that think they know everything. Most people know that magicians sometimes use trick decks and things of that nature, and some people - not all - will vocalize those assumptions in performance. I...

Very strange - sorry about that. We have no widespread reported issues of this, so if downloading the files again doesn't solve the problem, submit a ticket to the crazy people we call t11 support and they will make sure this gets resolved within 12 business hours.

Our rationale for this thus far is that a marked deck of a "new" design, I believe, raises a few eyebrows. If you open up your pack of Guardians and the spectator says "hey is that a trick deck?" - you simply give it to them to examine, and they stop worrying. But if that deck of Guardians is a...

Absolutely accepted - this means a lot to us to see. And to add something to this discussion that many of you may not be aware of, Bill was the first to alert us to an issue of piracy of our DVD's at a certain magic shop near him. Bill alerted us in good faith, and we have been working with that...

Magicians are a core brand lover of playing cards by definition, but still a very, very, very, very small part of USPCC's business. Casinos use decks for hours on the casino floor and then require new decks to enter play - this equates to tens of thousands of decks used weekly. In addition...

DB's current supply of the Lions has elapsed. The good news is that there will be a new edition, but I don't believe a firm date has been set on when those will be completed. As soon as we get word from DB, will be sure to post.

These were created by Murphy's and Paul Harris and sold through Murphy's and Paul Harris - not mainstream retailers or the general public.

Happy birthday to Jesse! Very excited about what is coming soon. For a hint at what that is, listen closely to the podcast posted on Saturday night...

Malibu - Awesome! Thanks for posting your thoughts on this. Keep practicing it and it will become smoother and smoother. In the process, you'll also become more and more comfortable with the angles. Enjoy it! It looks insane. Bill - We absolutely encourage sharing knowledge, tips, and...

The podcast has been posted! We answered as many questions as possible - the full podcast runs about 25 minutes. Listen to it now HERE. Tonight's prize goes to GAVAN for his question submitted and asked in the podcast. Gavan will receive the Spello Change (or any other 1-on-1) on the house...

Keep the questions coming - thirty more minutes until we start recording!

It's been over a month since our last roundtable discussion, so we thought it was about time to refresh the archive with a new addition. Tonight, we are privileged to host a special theory11 roundtable discussion with one of magic's most prolific rising stars, Jesse Feinberg. Jesse specializes...

This is definitely not an easy move - we recommend it for people that are either willing to put in some intense practice time, or for those that are adept and experienced in cardistry already. Based on the experience level you mentioned in your post, this is probably not the right move for you...

I. Love. This. Change. Andrei does the instruction for this as Kelvin is located in Indiana, and our studios are in NYC and Las Vegas. Nevertheless, Kelvin makes a special appearance in the video. I love this change.
