Rope is a great idea I hadn't considered. Thanks! And you understand the intent perfectly.

Agreed. Like I said, it's a fake funeral as a party for someone who narrowly avoided death. All agree he should be a goner.

Ba-zing! Very nice. I lol'd.

Thanks for the suggestions, all!

Thanks for the suggestion and the source! And I understand why this seems like an odd request. It wasn't my idea: it's for a mock funeral that's being held as a party for someone who, by all account, should be dead. So it's actually a happy occasion. The family requested a trick. Yes, weird, I...

Gents, I need a recommendation here. I'm a close-up magician of three years' experience, average talent, and intermediate repertoire (mostly cards). I've not done any stage work, but I need a stand-alone stage trick that can be mastered in a month or less. And it needs to be suitable for a...

So I saw this article in the NYT Magazine and realized that, if you've always wanted to do memorized deck magic (e.g., Aronson, Mnemonica, etc.) but still haven't done it because you think it's too difficult to learn, you officially and publicly have no excuse now. These guys are unbelievable...

Thanks so much! Now to find a copy of Sonata without breaking the bank . . .

Could anyone recommend a good reputable source for learning Triple Coincidencia? I want to say that this trick is by Juan Tamariz, but I'm not sure (someone else might have originated it). I thought it might be in Mnemonica, but it's not. For those not familiar with the effect, here is the...

T11 sells Bicycle Rider Backs in the new box -- that's all USPCC makes now. The cards are the same as always, but, as many have noted, the new box design is kinda lame. Old boxes are getting hard to find, so I recommend hoarding some away for performances if you can find them. Or you can just...

Thanks, Andrew! I'm glad to hear you found the review helpful. It makes it worth the flak it received. For a forum frequented/moderated by supposedly free-wheeling, free-minded types, there seems to be quite a bit of intolerance for divergent opinions. As a coda to this mini-drama, I hope...

Wow :eek:. It really wasn't my intention to set off a small firestorm with my review. I just wanted to share my opinion and maybe save others like me from some disappointment. Diversity of opinion is still legal, right? After reading the responses, I've gone back and re-read my review. I'm...

Disappointed Gents, here's my review of the trick: This was horribly disappointing. I love theory11 and was really excited for Crush, but this trick falls far below T11's usual standards. The biggest problem is practicality. Both the gimmicked and ungimmicked versions require so much...
