Bravo there Juinor. You look very comfortable in your surroundings. The fact that I could not hear what you were doing made me pay more attention to the reactions from your spec. You had her full attention Steve, you made a great connection, and captivated her. You could have planted a truck in...

Xxl????? Okay, I know I am an "old guy" around here, but c'mon T-11 staff, how about getting some MENS sizes in stock? I wear t-shirts everyday. I am 254 pounds, I need a XXL. Please. Anybody?? I could get a xl, but then I'd have to cut the sleeves off, and cut the neck out. If you get some...

Ohhh Man. You ACCEPTED the Mod position??? Geeeez, they finaly found a sucker. Good luck, I used to be a mod, it sucks. Good luck. I can't in good faith say "congrats" that would be like "congrats....you have herpies!" Just kidding, but keep in mind, many of those who are patting you on the...

I attended my Mother’s funeral yesterday. I was in a room with hundreds of people, and yet I was so alone. She was my Mom, my friend, my safety net in life. She was the one who sat through an endless stream of cheesey kid-magic shows full of plastic gimmicks and goofy tricks when I was a little...

Yes! It is their way of doing business. It is proven to be successful not only for them but for many of the magicians they promote, including some that are here at T-11 now. Let’s face it, ellusionist got many people interested in magic again. They also gave a huge jump-start to the careers of...

Joseph, It is possible to use crows or ravens, however, they differ greatly from doves so your methods will also have to differ. We (magicians) use doves for several reasons. They are docile, calm, they don’t mind being confined to small areas and they are not very “vocal”. Crows on the other...

Mods??? We don't need no stinkin' Mods. Seriously , It looks like the forums are going well without an overbearing Mod staff. You can go to the E forums for the all knowing and observant moderation. So far it seems everyone here is behaving. I think this is one of the things that make T-11...

More Magic for Jesus Doing “Magic for Jesus”. Geeez, how many times has such a thread been made? Here is my honest opinion: Magic is a form of theatrics. Theatrics have been used to convert, convince, scare, intimidate, or otherwise brow beat people into Christianity. Speaking in tongues is a...

Guilty as charged. I perform magic for money. Not only that, but evidently I am a career criminal. I been doing this for years now. Getting paid is not a bad thing. I am not a “sell out” because I get paid, accept tips, or even influence tips. It is what I do. When an actor goes from community...

So, are you against people being paid in other areas, or just full time magicians? Maybe you don't understand. I do magic for a job. It is how I pay my many many bills. Curtis "Miles of Magic"

You are 100% right. It was for the cash. Maybe it didn't help my magic, but it did wonders for my checking account. I see what you are saying, I do a lot of free magic, but when I am working, it is for the money. Curtis "Miles of Magic"

Ever have one of those nights where everything just clicked? Last night was one such night for me. I had a gig, my first one at a new place. Sterling’s in Charlotte North Carolina. It was an hour and a half road trip for me, but well worth it. When you been doing magic for a while, it can become...

My My, such brilliance from such a young man. I wonder where he gets it? This post is dead on. Steve has given you guys ( for free ) what it took me years of struggling and hard knocks to get. I urge you all to save this thread to your computers and read it once a week until it is burned into...

Devo vanwhatever INVENTED ( or fabricated) the "ulman trials". Curtis "Miles of Magic"

Remark: "seriously, your a loser, how many hours were you in your room practicing that for?" Response: I dunno, ask your mother, she was with me. Seriously, Never give them the stage. Ignore first, if it continues, stop. Stop doing what you are doing. I stand would there and stare at him...

Cards, cards, and more cards. Boy do we have cards! Tigers,vipers,ghosts,guardians,master’s,1800’s,blue bikes, red bikes, the list keeps growing! So, here is the question: What are the best cards to us for general magic? Some of you have already gave an in your head answer as you read this...

The Black tigers are great cards…unless you are a real –world worker. They do discolor after a short time (shuffles, slip cuts etc). They do add suspicion to any performance. It take a little effort to overcome that, not that big a deal to me, but maybe it is to others. I do a lot of signed...

Lee, Just for the record, there is an EAST coast too ya know! Curtis "Miles of Magic"

Keenan, I think it is a double edged sword. In one way, it is a great and wonderful thing. New magic being created ( we desperatley need that ) new younger working pros out there ( we needed that too). Still, I think we have lost a good bit of the spark that made magic amazing and entertaining...

Throughout the late 1800’s and into the early 1900’s Magicians traveled as part of a traveling caravan of performers. It was like a traveling “America’s got talent” show. The great Houdini made his mark this way, and, as we all know, later became the king of all magicians, past, present, and...
