Hey y'all, Years ago on these forums, someone asked if you can do magic for the blind. I responded then and wanted to jump on again. I found this video a little while ago, where a blind man experiences magic. It's entertaining but it didn't quite answer the question for me. Over the years...

This is a super clever method but the trick seems kind of bleh to me. Do you think it's a good trick?

I know we have a few fans of Royal Road to Card Magic here. I also know that there's no definitive "best" answer everyone has a different opinion and a different preference. Well here's my top 10 favorite tricks on Royal Road and I'd love to hear about yours!

As most of you know magic camp was released last week on Disney+. Personally I really enjoyed the movie and liked how the magic was depicted. There were tons of Theory11 people involved in it's making with input from Justin Willman, Franco Pascelli, and Blake Vogt to name a few. I'm not sure if...

I am always excited when Jason England talks about gambling and scams. His products are among my favorites on Theory11. His depth of knowledge is outstanding! This last week he walked through some of the articles in his gambling museum and I thought some people around here would think that...

Today I was watching a Tim ferriss interview with Richard Turner. Halfway through the interview Richard Turner makes the claim that a sleight of hand magic, especially with cards,is the most difficult type of magic. I heard the said before and I just can't understand how it would be true. I...

I have been thinking about plots for new magic tricks lately. I don't really care about the method as long as it gives the effect I'm looking for. One thing that has been fun has been to look at a movie and try to extract a magic trick from it. I'm completely lost at how to execute most of these...

That's the question. "Created" is in quotes because I mean it very loosely. Sure I'd love to hear if you have created a brand new effect and method that David Copperfield used to close his show but I'm also interested in interesting routines and lines that you may have created yourself. For...

I love Penn and Teller and I find their magic to be exceptionally original. I wanted to jump on here and share some of my favorite routines of theirs, also I'd love to hear yours. I tend to like the more violent stuff. I left out the solo stuff though I love all of Teller's stuff as well as the...

This is hysterical, and it's not a parody: https://www.instagram.com/p/B7Wkog3nyf4/?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet Can we all agree to stop selling magic as a way to meet girls or guys? I can understand how it might be fun or interesting as an ice breaker but man this is too far. So is...

Every once in a while an ad mentions that "this trick requires a gimmick that most magicians already own". I've heard it said about a variety of different pieces of magic apparatus. So I thought we could make a list. What are the must-have pieces of magic apparatus that we could reasonably state...

This is a positive thread. I've wanted to post about this for a while. There are a lot of magicians out there that I really dislike. Part of me wishes that I could just write the list right here and complain to you all about them. Over the past couple of years I've been able to meet some of...

Whenever I think about magic, which is basically constantly, I'm always grateful for these forums. I love bouncing ideas off of you guys and love your advice. I wanted to talk about ways that I have found to keep kids entertained with magic for long periods of time. Last week I made a post...

I know we are on the Theory 11 message boards but I'm curious about everyone's tastes. Contrary to popular belief there's not a whole lot of hate between magic dealers and I really don't want to ruffle feathers but I'd love to hear about your favorite magic dealers. Give your reasons, and try...

So, I have a residency at a nice ski resort. I perform magic while people are relaxing after skiing. My job is to perform magic for as many people as possible in 2 or 3 hours. I need help figuring out how to end my performance for kids specifically. At the resort I have 3 main audiences I...

I have seen this claim in a few places and I want to ask, is it a commonly held belief that Magic for Human's with Justin Willman uses stooges and camera tricks? I really don't think he does use camera tricks or stooges. I've heard some people claim that he uses CGI as well. I really don't see...

We've all given up quite a bit of the magical experience given the nature of our hobby. I hear magicians claim that they are not fooled by magic often, and I find that I am fooled almost daily. I just watched a few episodes of Magic for Humans season 2 and Justin Flom's Magic Mixtape and I was...

I want to know who you think is or was the most prolific magic creator of all time. I have thought about this a lot and my mind has changed many times, but at this point I believe Dan Harlan is the most prolific magic creator of all time. He's a part of a very short list with Ed Marlo, Jim...

So there are a few magicians out there that resemble other magicians quite a lot. It may be because they were mentored in a specific way, or it's just happenstance. But there are a few magicians who remind me strongly of other magicians. Keep in mind, I believe everyone on this list is...

Hey y'all, so we get a lot of threads on here about beginner products and we don't talk a whole lot about the new stuff we get and use. That's why I made this thread. I'd like to know what you received or purchased this year (or recent past) that you love. I've broken my stuff down into...
