My personal favorite is when people say "That's creepy" (in the astonished kind of way, not the scared kind of way). It's my favorite because I didn't just amaze them; I truly got into their head and shook them to their core. I usually get this reaction with mental magic/mentalism effects. It...

I am thinking doing magic with ESP would be interesting, but I don't know of any tricks using ESP cards. You guys know any?

I just got my loops, and I am enjoying them so far. I want some more tricks with loops, as well as subtleties and tips for lighting and so on. I am wondering whether to get Guerilla Guide to Loops of Fin John and Yigal Mesika Loops DVD I have heard more good things about The Loops DVD, but...

I just learned Midas Touch, which I performed at a family gathering. When I did the first touch, people started audibly gasping and laughing a bit, but when I was done, there was complete silence. People where just staring at me and the participant. When the participant learned that I had...

Right now, I am looking for purely mind reading. I know of Center tear and peeks, and I also think of getting the Parapad at some point. Currently, I am looking for unique mind reading effects. Like, for example, something similar to Touching On Hoy by Luke Jermay. Now that is something great.

I can't be the only one who sometimes wonders how it must feel to be the spectator. Let me explain. I have never really been into magic. I faintly remember some magicians as a kid, but none of them really stands out in my memory, except David Copperfield. When I was 13 and on vacation in...

I want to perform more shows to improve. Obviously, I am not good enough to get paid so I want to know where I can perform free shows. I have asked my old teacher if I can perform in her class, which I can, and I have performed for my little sister’s class, and they want me to come again. Is...

I have found myself straying further and further away from normal magic. I simply just don't enjoy doing them any more. It just doesn't feel right doing them. I don't think it fits my entire performance. I have previously wondered if I wanted to be a mentalist, but I decided that I didn't want...

I am from Denmark, and the Theory11 servers run on American time (no idea where from) and I am quite tired of not knowing when people have posted something, as the time zone is american by default. Sometimes it says that they sent it yesterday, when it was clearly today. It is quite confusing...

I recently bought the Psychokinetic Touch called "D'Angelo's Touch" and I can say: I love it. It's a very good PK Touch routine. The style is differently different from Banachek's PK touches. Both are great, and I will definitely use them both in my routine. The big difference is that...

I really enjoy magic involving psychokinesis. I am currently doing metal bending and Pk touches, and I am getting into using loops soon. I am especially interested in learning something involving shadows (like hitting the shadow of a can, and the can falls over), but it’s not limited to that...

I have begun to notice that my hands tremble a lot when I perform, and it makes some tricks hard to get right. I don’t know whether it’s from nervousness or excitement, but I think it’s excitement. Anyone got any tips?

I am not planning on releasing any PK touch routines. I am simply curious. But I was wondering if someone had some good PK touch routines, using Banachek’s concept from his booklet “Psychokinetic Touches”, could they legally release it? Let me clarify. Someone has some original and interesting...

I am getting into Psychokinetic touches. I am thinking of buying Banachek’s PK touches and D’angelo’s touch. Does anyone have any other suggestions?

I recently bought Metal Bending (World’s Greatest Magic) and I loved the stuff from Richard Osterlind. So, if I get Step 7: Metal Bending, will I learn any new bends, or are all of the good ones present in (Worlds Greatest Magic)?

I want to get better at handling cards, so my moves look smoother, and so I can do more difficult sleights for tricks. I know the basic is practice. But any other tips. Is there any cardistry which improves you card handling in general? Anything I haven't thought of at all? I am already doing...

I entered a givaway on murphys magic, and received a free magic trick from Shin Lin (just for participating). And he's got to have the WORST explanations I have ever seen. Well, actually, there are no explanations at all. He just says "do like this" and briefly shows the sleight. Some of them...

Marked decks are quite a bit more expensive than regular decks, so I want to know if it is worth it. Are there any tricks that you can do with a marked deck, which you can't do with forcing, peeking, control or a stacked deck? Because I really can't think of anything. Does anyone care to...

Forks here in Denmark are high quality and either 1. expensive or 2. hard to bend. And as I have not built up the strength or experience to go around bending other people's heavy silverware. So I decided to get Liquid Forks (not Liquid Metal by Morgan Strebler. Liquid forks are forks made for...

I recently bought a card trick (can't state which, it would be exposure) that, without my knowledge, used a stacked deck. I thought I had wasted my money, as I didn't want to use 10 dollars more on getting a stacked deck. Then I remembered that I had "13 Steps to Mentalism" by Corinda, which...
