I apologize for being less active (for anyone who has noticed and/or cared) lately and hope to be more active soon. That said the question at hand for myself at least, is this: How do I stop being known as "the magic guy"? I am a fairly experienced gigging guitarist as well as a magician and...

I work in a music shop in a tiny town in Alberta and we also carry books. Today a younger red haired kid came in and picked up a cheap looking magic kit. I asked him if he was just getting started and he said he had "a ghost gaff deck and an 1800 series from a place called ellusionist"...

I took some footage this weekend on a digital video camera this weekend and it recorded to a mini (small cd) disc. I finalize the disc and it essentially converts it to a DVD. Every seperate video taken being a scene. I can't find the videos when I search the disc and I want to know if there is...

I spent literally the entire day doing magic at the local Carnival thats in town. I had a bad camera man but I got some footage. Look for it later in the media section (hopefully) 1. Doing magic for real people is by far the best practice. I literally felt my presentation get better as the...

When doing an effect, you obviously cover the giveaway angles for your audience. What about the passerbys? The people who aren't paying attention really, but if they looked over, could discover the secret. Eg) Say your doing a Torn and Restored card. You have the audience in front of you...

What do you guys think is the routine with the BEST presentation. The effect is irrelevant, it could be anything, but the presentation has to be the reason you pick it. My choice goes to Tommy Wonder's presentation of the Ambitious Card Routine. http://youtube.com/watch?v=LrApPgoWZqE

This past weekend I had the opportunity to see my favorite band live. Twice! They have been touring for a total of 23 years and have never come anywhere within driving distance of my hometown. Last weekend they played 2 nights at Macewan Hall in Calgary Alberta. I was absolutely ecstatic to see...

I just received DD and I am skeptical as to whether it works. The gimmick seems clearly visible in reality.

I don't really know how to word this. Obviously stuff like the Ego Change and the Clipshift are sleights. Obviously the Hot Shot Cut and the Sybil Cut are Flourishes. What would you call stuff like Lennart Greens Top Shot or Aaron Fishers One Handed Popover Move? Stuff that obviously...

At the point of Transposition, like when you have the copper coin and they are holding the silver, can you show both sides of the copper coin? Like show both sides, then immediately make the change, then show both sides as silver?

Thus far I am understanding the gimmick does not come with the DVD. Is this correct? I would like to know: 1. Where can I get the gimmick relatively decent price and all the necessary normal coins to go with it? (understand I have literally 0 for american coins up to this point, I do all my...

Derren Brown style suggestion and NLP (can anyone tell me what that stands for?) Its sometimes called conversational hypnosis and I REALLY wanna get into it. Edit: OH christ sorry. I had both the questions forum and the general one open, I got absent minded and posted this in the wrong forum!!!!

Is there anything left to be decided?

For anyone who's ever had that problem of not being able to put a deck of cards down to study or do homework, you now have a solution. I came up with this idea the other day when my mom told me to stop playing with a deck of cards and get my marks up. Solution: 1. Purchase a deck of blank...

I am interested in running a guitar contest, by the users for the users (also judged by the users) I just want to see if there is any reason to start planning for it. If there are enough users entering that is. Please just state with a simple yes or no as to whether you would be...

Cross that off your list. This was to show off both my ineptitude at cardistry and my totally bad*** Halloween costume. I shall call it the hammer of Thor display. Happy trails:D

How does an american half dollar compare to a Canadian fifty cent piece? Could I say, use Canadian halfs for Digital Dissolve?

In this thread, post the following information: Name: Trent Halliwell Age: 17 Location: Edson, Alberta Canada Sex: Male Email: conjure_pitch@hotmail.com Of course all this information is strictly optional, as I can't make anyone do anything they don't want to. So if any T11 members travel to...

I have a brand new deck of regular bicycles and I was looking at them when I opened them and the second joker has a ten line money back guarantee on it. That makes any duplicate effects impossible without an actual dupe, Needless to say I don't usually buy regular bikes but I was going to...

Just the better few of the hundreds of reaction shots taken last night. For the recored my name is Trent, I am 17 years old, this is what I look like (myself on right, Girlfriend on left) and I was doing magic for a bunch of drunk college girls that are friends with my sister. In the routine...
