    Best black deck for performing magic

    An important thing to know is that you don't want a design that's too complex. Yes, elaborately designed cards are great, but some spectators haven't seen that many cards in their life, and the ones that they have seen are the original Bicycle playing cards. Black may distract from the magic...

    Is this a good set for walk around magic?

    Now, there are a multitude of opinions on CMH, but from my experience, its just not that strong. Touch is an example of great rubber band magic, but i've tried other tricks, and they don't seem to work. A sandwich effect is always good to use. The two card monte is personally on of my favorite...

    Coincidence - Possible Trick???

    No, the method was ridiculous, I just abandoned the project. I ended up submitting another effect, and 2 cardistry effects to the Wire. All 3 were denied. i am currently working on a project that I am very excited about, and I think this one will be accepted.

    Quality of Bicycle Playing Cards

    Has anyone else noticed that the quality of the standard bicycle playing cards have decreased in the last few years? First of all, there's that awful "Free App" circle thing on every box. Next, the feel just isn't the same. Finally, I've looked at my cards, and sometimes even the back design...

    Just some quick Cardistry (Amateur Video) + Hype for Hula-Hoop

    Yeah. Hula-hoop is pretty neat, I don't think this video did it proper justice. Also, you're right. The sunglasses were a little too subtle. Thanks for the feedback! -GC

    Anyone else hate the Shapeshifter as a color change?

    Yeah, I hate it too. It really doesn't fool anyone, and it's kind of obvious.

    Coincidence - Possible Trick???

    Hello people of theory11, I have a great beginner trick idea that I want to put on The Wire. However, in order for theory11 to approve or not, I have to give them a completed video. My plans are to make an extremely in-depth tutorial and performance tips, plus some bonus footage, and I don't...

    Need Performance Tips - How to Approach people

    Thanks for the fast response man, really appreciate it. And, you're definitely right. Popularity was not the reason I got into magic, so it shouldn't be the reason why I perform. I have 3 solid effects. One is a variation of "Jack in the Hole" that happens in the spectators hands, and the other...

    Magic App

    A great iPhone app to use is Card to Phone. This app makes coins, card backs, corners, and more things appear with a touch or a shake. Very realistic and truly amazing.
