The title of the thread represents the conclusion I came to after going to Derren Brown's Infamous. The show was great, but that's not what I want to point out with this thread. So there was I, in the first rows of the Palace Theatre in London, watching Derren do what he does best. Entertain...

Hello t11, I recently got 25 ESP cards with Bicycle backs. They are not marked (or I don't see the mark. They didn't come with any instructions) so I decided to mark them myself. I know that most of the time spectators won't look for a marking system on your cards, but what is the most...

"The History of Magic as a Form of Entertainment in the U.S/UK" Nice title, huh? That's the title of what I want to write for an English certification. Basically I need to write a fairly long and fairly complex essay on this subject. My question to you, oh all-knowing comunity, is *where can I...

Hello guys and girls, On September the 13th I will celebrate my 18th birthday ( hint hint ) and I thought about doing a quick mental miracle for my guests and what's better than predicting what presents I will get? To achieve this I will be using a one ahead method by having someone secretly...

Hello t11, After a long time without doing any magic and not visiting these forums I have lost interest in magic. I started playing computer games again and filling my time with nothing interesting at all. I was again like everyone else. Recently, after I've seen some magic performances I...

Hello t11, Today I got my Kirkendall Reel. I really don't want to break it or do something wrong so I am asking you. I've seen that I was supposed to get a care guide with the reel, but I didn't get anything. Should I replace the black thread in the reel with some transparent fishing...

Hello t11, My friend borrowed me some of his DVDs and in the Easy to master thread miracles volume 1 there are some effects, like the one in the title, that use *a gimmick* ( I don't write it here because it may count as exposure ). I know what gimmick it is, I just don't know where to find...

Hello t11, Since I started doing magic I wanted to create my own magic trick. I think I've got an idea which is actually a combination of ideas from two different effects I've seen lately. I still need to make it work because the idea itself works very well, but "I cannot hold a coin under...
