I know the basics in's and out's of the Electric Touch and I really want to buy this but I had two questions before I did. 1. I heard there is something about placing the gimmick inside the shoe and it requires somebody else to do it well. 2. How long will total setup take if I did it all...

If you take this personal, oh well. If you take this the right way then good for you. If anybody can link a good battle that would be great. It seems like people are missing the patter part, I don't know if people are lacking personality or a decent script or what. I really don't want to be...

This is something I made up about 4:30 in the morning using some basic sleights and used it a buddy of mine and was floored by it of course it was still the early early morning. I'm sure most magicians who know basic sleights will get this but any quick suggestions or opinions on it. I...

I have been purchasing from T11 a few months after they had shown up. I got a few items and I had somewhat converted to more of the mentalism tricks that I had been watching. This is not bashing T11 at all, just keep reading. I loved everything I had bought except for maybe distortion but...

I am thinking about purchasing some type of linking rings before Christmas arrives and was asked a few questions to the supplier but hasn't answered yet. So here are my questions Can the spectator do it just by picking it up? Are they really worth it? Best ones for street and stage...

I haven't seen this thread yet when I was using search bar so here it is. What makes a great (not good) routine to you and the spectators? Is it the flow or your patter or maybe just the effects themselves? What do you wish you could add to your routine, ex. effects, presentation, crowd, etc...

What do you want to see next from T11. Maybe some coins, dollar bills, a new card trick/flourishing or maybe some mentalism. I am not asking what they will come out with next but what type of trick would you like to see them come out with next. I know I want to see some mentalism brought out...

I first started working with cards of course did the whole magic thing and started to pick up on a few flourishes like double 190 helix, werm, one or two more from dan and dave and I just do not see where the interest plays into it. I am in no way bashing flourishing because it looks amazing...
