Got 2 questions: 1) What are good sources in learning the bottom deal? 2) How do I get my ring finger to buckle and yank the bottom card out as described in Erdnase? I can't buckle, the whole deck will just slide away and if I increase the grip with my middle finger it will just cause the...

Okay, so I will probably have $100 dollars, and I would like to spend this on a rubik's cube effect. The two that catches my eyes are Cube 3 by Steven Brundage and Cube FX by John George and Karl Hein (and Tyson Mao). Which one should I get? I can't get both but price is not a factor for me...

Hello! A friend gave me a copy of Gregory Wilson's Ring Leader and I must say it's DARN GOOD! Lots of moves, funny teaching, my only complaint are that there should be more performances (Greg's a brilliant performer) and some of the moves need a bit more detail (like the discrepant insertion)...

I find something out there which is a bit...perplexing. A lot of descriptions say you have to be an intermediate card/coin magician to perform this. First up, how does one evaluate what is "intermediate"? A double lift? A good pass? Good palm? Good false count? And how does one evaluate...

Out of curiosity, what do you think is the easiest and best torn and restored card out there? Piece by piece, flash restoration, mismade... Thanks!

Starting on this brilliant effect (great concept) but I have three questions: 1) Has anyone tried using different cards but same back? 2) Has anyone tried signing it an s**t*h it? (Don't want to expose it, hope you get what I mean) 3) Can I not use the lighter? In places with smoke detectors...

In terms of TT Switch, which one do you think is the best? 1)Michael Ammar's Mike Kozlowski's Bill Switch (AKA Invisible Bill Switch) 2) 4 Quarters by Magick Balay Would you mind giving your reasons and pros and cons too? Thanks

I want to get two of the volumes out of these three: 1) Visions of Wonder 2) On the Loose 3) In Action Which one should I get? In terms of effects and difficulty. I don't do a lot of table work though...

Is Torn by Daniel Garcia or Counterfeit by Wayne Hoochin better? Price is not a problem and video quality is not a problem too. What I'm looking for is 1) Difficulty 2) Visual Impact Thanks!

I can't do the scissors cut because my hand isn't big enough! I know it sounds like a lame excuse, but I've even tried to just fit the cards into my hand and yet all I could do is just an acute angled L. Any helped would be appreciated - thanks! (I really want to do Tetra on Genesis)

Is the stripper deck or invisible deck better? If you only could get one, which one would you get?

What are good tricks for the mentally disabled? Cards and coins and juggling are what I can do. I just think that some card tricks are a bit difficult to comprehend.

Hello! I have a show coming up which is largely a silent comedy show. I have two questions: 1) Can thimbles work on stage? The auditorium houses over 1000 people. 2) Are there very good trick that involves food or the mouth? I already have Nate Kranzo Live 3 and know the multiplying...

Hello Theory11, Just had a show today and would like to share what I learnt as well as would like to gain a few tips. Today I had to do a mute show due to some changes and found out the except for the hyper-ring routine nearly all of my fiber optics routine got nearly no reaction at all except...

Tomorrow I'm doing a routine for 400 people (just received news today) and they are mainly teenagers. I would like my routine to start with juggling (required) but I'm thinking should begin with a bit of ball manipulation/productions, then end with a vanish. I'll then lead it to a rope routine...

My brother says my move are too obvious when doing fiber optics and he suspects that "thing" in my right hand during the hyper-ring moves as well as other moves..how to I draw less suspicion? Shoud I use patter to misdirect, or hold my fist more loosely? Any help at all would be appreciated...

In June I'll be doing an on stage magic show and there will be approximately 1000 people in the auditorium (mainly students). I'm good with cards but due to the fact that it is a stage show and I cannot speak I will not be doing it. I will be doing silent act with music in the background. I...

I'm new to theory11 so please excuse me for any mistakes. I've searched through magic cafe and ellusionist and t11 but cannot find any resources so I feel like posting this myself. Firstly, I'm 13 and my hands are small so my middle finger is not long enough to do Pivot--I couldn't drag...
