    Official Business Card Thread

    I disagree as well. You see, I want people to remember my name more than anything. They won't forget I'm a magician. I don't want people to say "hey remember that magician they had last year?" I DO want them to say "hey remember Justin Morris last year?" and everyone knows who they are talking...

    "Let me see that card!"

    They are on to you! Spring the cards in their face and run! If I ever get someone who knows about a DL or suspects that's what I did, I go into my ambitious card routine. It only uses two DL's and conditions them to think there is none. This actually happened to me the other day at my last...

    Help - Another Magician at School

    heh this is a good lesson in performance vs effect. Don't bring out new stuff, just work on your performance of what you already do. You and he may do the same tricks, but if your personality and performance it better, then you will stand out.

    Google Wave

    I can hardly wait for Google wave! When you receive an invite, do you get some invites? With a few invites, we could get the entire T11 community on wave....

    Do you want to fool 98% or 100% of the time?

    Something for both sides But what is wrong for striving for 100%? Mogician is not saying that we should forget presentation or that we should be trying to let the tricks to the work. He's saying that we need to be the BEST at what we do. Both in presentation and in choosing the best effects...

    Jim Callahan - Blew My Mind

    Sorry for the negativity Dee, I wasn't thinking of it in the light of Halloween, just saw it as another of the same. On a side note, did CA ever reveal that second envelope....?

    White Centurions

    Well said. _ And to be fair to T11, they didn't raise the cost on the white cents at all, and they are giving a lot of them away for free. So keeping them rare collectibles is sorta neat. Acting like you have been harmed in some way because you don't get what you want in life, well, that's...

    The Rules of Good Theater

    Hey great read Will, Just something to add regarding the talking in the seats and opening candy etc. Another reason these things are not polite is because most people don't know or realize that a theater is designed in such a way that acoustically, the sound travels better towards the stage...

    First Stage Performance

    I wouldn`t use chairs, other wise they sit down and then get right back up again to go back to their seats because you`re done the effect. Just have them standing, say if I call your card, go back to your seats. Then everyone walks off stage at the same time, and you take your bow. Then...

    Business Cards

    I heard that if you get the "free" printing at vistaprint, then the web address in on the back, but if you pay for your cards, then they don't have it. I just checked the yellow pages for somewhere local. No shipping, no wait time, great quality and great price ($25 for 500 glossy cards).

    Five Minute Speech... Help Me!

    This would take too long. I would suggest once you choose your topic, to pick one effect to compliment what you are speaking on, but make sure it really fits and compliments.

    Spouses and Significant Others in Magic

    I hope that's a hypothetical question. As someone who is married, you have a responsibility to your wife and family to not leave them husband and/or fatherless. It's one thing to be at risk in your work, it's a very different thing to put yourself at unnecessary life threatening risk. If...

    Five Minute Speech... Help Me!

    Make sure you know what you will be graded on. If you are going to perform, I would corporate it into a speech. Use magic as an object lesson perhaps, or talk about how magic can be important to a child growing up, or "Entertainment, and what it means to you" (;)), or even how magic can affect...
