I understand how it is possible for you to think this, however, seeing as how you are 16, I am pretty sure that you do not fully understand the reality of the situation. If you were to stop performing magic altogether, you would still have a roof over your head, food to eat, and clothes to...

The average age of the T11 bbs community compared to that of the Cafe is considerably lower, and thus you are going to get a very one sided reply. The majority of the T11 bbs community are purely amateurs with little to zero professional experience, especially restaurant work and thus do not...

I see what you are doing there, but I would advise against changing Ponta's handling that much. The reason why his quick matrix works well, is be cause it is quick, and all of the transpos apparently happen at the same time. But using the same handling he does in his quick matrix, and...

Using a different turn over for your DL and your single card is a really bad idea. You use a different turn over for the first time the ace comes to the top, than you do the second time it comes to the top. Just do a regular turn over the entire routine, rather than sliding the top card out...

I think you should spin or twirl the cards more ! You only spin/twirl the card(s) 6 times in the short simple sandwich routine. I mean, if you are going to spin the card that much, might as well go for 20 times, right? Seriously, what is it with spinning/ twirling/ and flicking the...

Sorry to say, but that has been done before, done to death really. Tony Chang himself does something extremely similar (and again sorry to say, a lot more smoothly). Here he is in action: http://www.doublefacers.com/2008/11/quick-card-trick/ (you should know the password). However, if you...

Ninja rings is a great way to start. Small enough to do for a walk around gig, still big enough for a small close up show. http://www.amazon.com/Ninja-Rings-DVD/dp/B0016A2X12 Performance vid http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=71IfyxNDof0 I have the set, and the Japanese DVDs and I really...

I am not to sure about the venue or what kind of space you are working with. Perhaps you could position yourself outside of the restaurant with a small table doing a small performance trying to pull in some customers?

In addition, and I hope you don't mind the criticism/ advice. The initial control of the selection is a finesse control, and because your overall handling of the deck is a little bit unpolished (fumbled), it seems really out of place. A simple double undercut would go unnoticed and actually...

The above poster summed everything up very nicely. Idea is good (common one, but definitely a good one to perform). Sequence is good as well. Now just put in the time perfecting it. This is key, and I really encourage you to practice until perfect. A lot of magicians sell themselves out...

I guessed you missed the joke... meh oh well

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uFmHlVnGj44 Starting at 1:50 into the video. God's coin trick baby.

My two cents: 1: If you are doing a single coin routine, use a bigger coin (a morgan perhaps). If someone were to get on and post a video of them doing some card tricks and at the end they said, "by the way I only use 40 cards, because my hands are small and doing tricks with all 52 is...

The problem with your point is, it seems that you only think there is one way to enjoy magic as a hobby. Let me put this another way. Some of what you are saying is like telling someone who is a pool trick shot specialist that they play 9-ball or 8-ball the wrong way. Now, if someone...

Dear Theory11 I want to complain about your website, in particular, the color scheme that you have chosen. Why would you use black? SOOOOO cliche, cmon now. I think the choice of black is sooo un-professional. Wait, sorry, I am not complaining, I am just "writing my opinion"...

SUBMIT A TRICK is so-called for a reason. If the button read, "post a video of your trick for some feedback and advice," then your complaint would have some value to it. As it stands however, think of it this way: Johnny has been playing basketball for about 9 months, and decides to go to...

A lot of you seem to be analyzing the shinobi control as a small effect in itself, rather than a utility move. Imagine you were to see a 1-on-1 on the top change, classic pass, double lift, but those sleights were completely new to the magic world, then a lot of you would be saying the same...

There seems to be some random speculation going on here. If you actually perform this for groups/people, and still think it is really angle sensitive, then you are doing something wrong. I perform this quite a lot, and never have problems with angles. You have to know what you are doing...

I find that when you push the block forward for the ChangE, do not push it flush with the deck (flat against the top), angle it down so the back end lifts up from the deck a bit. Kind of like how you prep for the tilt, but outjogged, this makes the depth perception harder to catch, etc... As...

He was on both shows. He was on SYTYCD independently, and on ABDC with his crew Quest. GO STEVE TERADA!
