    Theory 11 or Ellusionist?

    Every product I've bought from T11 has always been about what I expect and a good use of money. I've been disappointed by Ellusionist multiple times. That isn't to say ellusionist is a bad site, their older tricks (Especially stuff put out but Justin Miller) and gimmicks are stilled used by me...

    Saturday Night Contest - Resolutions For 2019

    This year I helped a childhood friend of mine put out his own deck of cards which so far has been doing fantastic, it's been really awesome to start participating in the magic community as opposed to just being a part of it. Something I started doing was attending meetup events, which is...

    Calen Morelli's Youtube Channel

    This might be an obscure question but after not being subscribed for a few years it looks like Calen Morelli's youtube channel disappeared which happened to have one of my favourite videos of all time, does anyone know what happened to the channel or any place the videos may have been archived

    Sleight of Hand Vs Misdirection

    There are complex sleights that are invisible even when being burned, alternatively you can have a personality and are good at working a crowd. Or you can have both. The real answer is "Its preference", but in your personal opinion what do you find more effective when performing?

    Help with the muscle pass...

    There is absolutely no difference shooting the coin up than horizontally, can you supply a video of you doing both versions of the sleight? I cant fathom a reason you are having this much trouble

    Roughing Fluids/Materials

    I get this with all my decks, its a result of each spread being 2 cards thick. Not only do boarders point out, but the cards look block-ey. I havent found a solution to this, just wanted to let you know you arent the only one

    Is The Expert at The Card Table really all that?

    The amount of respect magicians have for a dead man is absurd. I don't believe magic is some sacred art that we take to the grave, we do card tricks, it's all for fun. I read Expert at the card table cover to cover and I think more than anything it's a better piece of history than it is a...

    Gory parlor magic

    I assume from what i've seen in the past, people on the forum will probably say Brian is a terrible magician/teacher/con-artist. However like sankey and a few other magicians on youtube, i think there is a lot of value in some of his videos. The knife and bag routine is not his, however i recall...

    Your family knows the double lift and French drop.

    I think depending on how involved you're family/friends are in the methods/aware of magic depends on how you should approach them. You wont get far JUST practising in a mirror however you should probably beat a trick to death before you even consider showing it to someone you actually want to...

    Gory parlor magic

    I absolutely adore Brian Brushwoods knife trick fail. It's totally unexpected and you can get VERY creative turning it from a gag into an actual trick. If not you could always do the "real" knife and cups/bags routine

    Water Spouting

    I agree with Christopher and would like to delve further into this. Water spouting is an incredible investment of time and energy which is not at all represented in David blaines TV special *Which im certain is where you found this*. You're REALLY doing it, its more comparable to sword...

    Roughing Fluids/Materials

    I mostly use the krylon finish which is very dependant on how much fluid you use and what deck. For my purposes i feel if you dont have anything else at your disposal or you dont want to go to the trouble of finding something better, it does its job.

    Share your approach lines for inspiration for those starting out.

    If people are doing stuff in real life then normally it isn't desirable to be the one to approach them, more often then not you'll catch them off guard and they probably wont want to talk to you. Flourishing is the way to go for real life performances, REALLY flashy stuff garners a lot of...

    Your Favorite Way to Control a Card to the Top

    The only moves that consistently fool me are any movies that utilise some sort of card switch (Either with a double or some sort of false deal). The control can look as fair as you want once the selected card isnt even the one in play. JM has an interesting ellusionist download that plays with...

    Help with the muscle pass...

    The muscle pass in my opinion is the best coin sleight. It looks impossible, feels impossible, and can be used in a countless amount of applications. My advice if you want to get some insane lift on your pass is to lubricate your hand. Ironically this is the one move in which having sweaty...

    SvenPad, Smoke 2.0 and Odyssey questions

    Im a huge advocate for Odyssey and i still love the gimmick but after maybe, im not sure? 80 performances? im starting to find a few flaws with it. Namely the gimmick ring and ungimmicked ring look NOTHING alike and spectators always notice if a switch takes place. Im not sure why calen would...

    Which Theory 11 decks have double-backers?

    All theory 11 decks do come with jokers, It isnt hard to glue them together *Or put in some effort and split one to make it thiner*
