I just wanted to share this with everyone. Those of you that are familiar with my posts will know that I got into magic, and continue to perform magic because of my niece. I love performing for her and she loves to watch magic. She turned 6 in November and has recently been "performing" some of...

What is out there? I may be doing it wrong but google doesn't offer much assistance. I have some green Madison Dealers that are getting worn out pretty quick, and as much as it pains me to say it, I like them. I could stock up on these (and red Dealers) but ideally I would like a few different...

Howdie doody lads and lasses. I've been a little too busy in the "real world" lately to be active on here much, but I've managed to find the time to keep up with the card work, so wanted to share a little something that I have been working on. I'm pretty sure I've shared a basic version of this...

Hello guys and gals, So, I as the title says, I want to tell you a story. I'll try to keep it as short as possible but I'm not making any promises. I was sat with my niece, twiddling my thumbs whilst she was putting her new Frozen stickers on a poster, when right on cue she turns to me and...

I am trying to put together a bit of a more structured routine than usual as my nieces birthday is coming up so I figured she deserves a bit of a show rather than just 2 or 3 tricks when she asks to see magic (that's 2 or 3 different tricks 3 days a week, every week!) I love the idea of...

Before I get started, I'm not looking for any exposure here, just sharing ideas if people want whilst being as mysterious as possible. I've spent a little over 3 hours straight today practicing a little rouine I am working on. I'm sure it's not original, the overall plot is as old as time, but...

I come bearing gifts, well, a gift. In the short time that I have been visiting the theory11 forums I have gotten a lot from all of you, so I wanted to give back. I have been playing with a few ideas and I wanted to share one of them with you all, for free. One is my attempt to create a...

If you haven't watched Exposé yet this week then find the time to do so, it will take 7:15, that's all. I say this because, for me, JB absolutely nailed it when talking about Aiden and what it made him think/feel. There is a reason that we all love magic, there is a reason that we all love...

Excluding card tricks and mentalism, what do you consider to be classic magic tricks that (at least most of) the general public are aware of? It can be close up, can be big illusions, anything really except card tricks and mentalism. A few examples from my list would include vanishing an...

I know, I shouldn't have, but for some reason I picked up Dynamo's book (for pennies thankfully) a while ago and as there is currently some wally walking around my flat with a screwdriver testing the electrics I decided to pick it up and see what Mr Frayne has to say. In the introduction he...

Hi all, Is it possible to get decent quality 3/4 size playing cards? Or not necessarily 3/4 but smaller than poker size and bigger than minis. My niece wanted to learn to shuffle today and we gave it a good go but her hands are just too small. I've had a search but didn't come up with much...

I have just unpackaged this and, well, I feel a little flat. There isn't really any excitement about the product, whereas after watching the trailer I was very excited. I'll admit that I have not yet watched the instruction video, which is a sore point. I knew before I bought it that it didn't...

I just noticed when posting a comment on a video in the Media section of the website, when I posted the comment it showed up, but it says "4 hours ago". Now, I have been working on my time travel abilities and they're a little unstable, but I'm pretty sure I didn't jump 4 hours. If it's any...

I'll preface my question with these statements. I love theory11 and the theory11 forums. The people here are brilliant, the community is brilliant. If I have a question or want to discuss something I know I can come here and get a whole range of answers and insights. I have learnt a lot about...

I have a conditional two parter here. A.) Is there a private/hidden forum that cannot be viewed unless you are a member and the pages are not indexed by search engines, etc? If not then; B.) may we please have one? If there is then; B.) where do I need to sign in blood to be admitted? The...

So I have a great idea, I think... but before I spend too much time trying to make it work I wanted to know if there is already a method to achieve the same results under the same conditions. I want to have the face of a card signed. The card must be 100% genuine and can be freely selected...

I've got a little Zombie trick I've been working on but have hit a stumbling block. Basically the zombie goes through the deck eating the court cards and at the end the zombie has a full belly. Whilst practicing it I've just been using a joker as the zombie, but ideally I want a card with the...

Hey guys, conditional two parter here. A. Do T11 offer combined shipping costs, specifically internationally? If so, B. From any card magic what would you pair up with Sub Rosa to make the shipping costs better value for money? If it lives up to the hype then personally Sub Rosa is worth...

Sorry guys, but am I being dumb or is there not a forum search function when on mobile? I'm pretty sure I've looked everywhere and can't see it, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's not there... Cheers

Let me start by saying, I love magic. I grew up loving magic, but probably in a way different to most here. I saw magic on the tv and loved it, but it never crossed my mind that I could do what I was seeing (probably because of money) so it never really became a hobby. That is until about 18...
