    Totally Out Of Control

    Much more work to be done before TOOC will see the light of day in video form, but this is still on the agenda. Note that it's a monumental undertaking, so this is not something that we anticipate releasing too soon. In time, it will come. In the meantime, lots more up our sleeves in the coming...

    t11.bulletin : THE SNAP CHANGE - Michael Hankins

    These are all variations of the same core concept. Just like there are different flavors of ice cream, there are many variations of this. Which works best for you depends on your own style and preferences. If you like something more on the flourishy side, GLITCH may be the best fit for you. If...

    David Blaine... long time no see!

    This special (What Is Magic) was in fact broadcast overseas. There is no real new effects within, but it is a recut of the most recent ABC special. All of the stunt content was removed, so it focuses much more on the magic - including the bullet catch that caps off the show. I did like the...

    Saturday Night Contest - With Our Powers Combined

    Very cool submissions, congrats to last night's winner. This contest really brings up the whole "mysterious stranger" idea in performance. Do you want to make your audience believe that you truly do have some supernatural power - to make them question reality or the limits thereof - or do you...

    Saturday Night Contest - The Bad Magic Picture Challenge!

    There's no limit on the number of original pictures you can submit, but I'd think you would only have time for one or two by 11:00pm tonight.

    New 1-on-1 Tonight!

    Absolutely. Since this is a move that is certainly based on the Bertram (and credited as such) - it is not intended to fool those who already perform it. That said, I find this handling a bit simpler than the classic handling, so those unfamiliar will most likely love it.

    New 1-on-1 Tonight!

    Fixed - thanks for the tip! This is a cool spin on a classic move (the Bertram Change by Ross Bertram). It's a bit simplified, and as a result I find the angles much easier to manage. Dan Hauss teaches the move in full detail in the download (11 minutes total). If you're unfamiliar with the...

    1-on-1 Sessions

    Not quite sure what you mean. We release new 1-on-1 videos almost every week - with the last video posted December 4th (this past Friday at 11:00pm EST). Our team does have to juggle our time a little bit between major projects and 1-on-1 releases, but we keep them coming as often as possible...

    Symphony - Title Music

    This was a track composed entirely from scratch for the Symphony DVD by Wes Craun / Condition for theory11. Crazy cool.

    Saturday Night Contest - Collective Brainstorm : Round Two

    Wow! Was a privilege judging these submissions tonight. Each submission had creative merit in its own way, and I was crazy impressed with some outside the box thinking. We had a lot of submissions tonight, and these were very difficult to judge. Therefore, submissions were reviewed based on...

    Saturday Night Contest - Collective Brainstorm : Round Two

    Not at all - we offered up those examples as ideas you can certainly draw inspiration from and use. We didn't mention any methods, so I trust that even if two people select the same idea, the technique would differ at least in part. Excited to see what you come up with.

    Saturday Night Contest - Collective Brainstorm : Round Two

    Effect - only effect. If you're doing an effect that appears to only use one playing card but actually involves 36 cards and a male zebra, that is okay as long as the effect only APPEARS to involve one playing card. We're not going to be too strict on the requirements as long as the dominant...

    New Control DVD: Directors Cut

    Just to be clear, I think you're confusing Control with Thread. Control was in fact produced by theory11. This Director's Cut will have additional content as a supplement to the original Control instructional video. More details will be posted soon by W:H.
