Hi everyone - Even though I don't frequent here much anymore - I recently had a discussion with John Maxwell that I felt was worth sharing with you all. I hope the thread provides you with some useful information that not only helps improve you as a magician, cardist etc but also as a person...

This particular effect I remember seeing on Wayne Houchin's website - he performed it in a video. You give the spectator half the pack and take the other half. Each of you do a shuffle routine, in the end each of you turn over 4 cards - The spectator would have 4 aces and you'd have 4 kings...

I'm here today to ask you a simple question. What is your dream? The one thing you wish to stay true to or accomplish during your life. This doesn't have to be career focused, feel free to take it any direction you'd like. I'll even give you mine as to make it more personal. I want...

Tutorial of a move I've been working on for awhile. I realize it's not 100% original but rather a mesh of ideas put together to make something different. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jd2YqJS6ECo

I'll be creating my own custom deck over the next couple months. This is the final design that was decided. I just wanted to share it with everyone.

Out of curiosity. Why do you say Gator boots? What exactly does this even mean? lol - I'm confused by this "effect"

I have been meaning to get is up for the past couple days now but things have been out of control - but without further ado, here is my review of Thunderbird. Effect: Thunderbird is a powerful, visual and striking ace production. Asher says it best when he talks about captivating your audience...

I have a dilemma today. I am stuck at work until 3pm today (it is not 9am), work is very slow/boring but I want the time to pass by as quickly as possible due to my extreme anxiousness for later on this evening. So, I ask you fellow T11 members. What do you do to pass the time when...

I am looking for a book that relates to magic but not in the sense that I learn effects from it. I want something that tells of a lifestyle, story about magic, perhaps magic theory or understanding... but certainly not a book that teaches effects or sleights. Any ideas?

So I was booked for a birthday party earlier today in DC later this month. It's a birthday party which is themed "50's Murder/Mystery" So, I'm looking for suggestions as far as what I should wear. Let me hear em! :D

I'm looking into doing this sort of thing but I have a few questions first. -Do you need a specific type of ring? -Does the ring have to be loose around your finger or can it be rather snug like a normal ring you'd wear. I'm planning on buying a ring in the near future and just wanted to...

I've been doing the deck flip for about a day now and I have a simple question about it. When doing the deck flip, is it common for 1-5 cards to stray from the deck during the flip? I would say I lose at least 1 card each time I do it, which seems like something that would be natural when you...

I'm looking for a source to learn how this is done. It's two fans but executed with one hand. Not exactly sure what the proper name for this flourish is, if you're unsure what I'm talking about... It's in this video Here at 2:02

I was told today that the Ethics of a magician are based around Lying, Stealing and Cheating. That those of you that make a career off of magic simply take advantage of the gullible and susceptible. What are your thoughts on this?

Cold - The Telesthesia Cards I bought this effect without having any prior knowledge as to what to expect. I read the description and it seemed like a neat effect but the youtube video is what made me decide to purchase it, besides that I also wanted to support another T11 Member. Effect...

S.W.E. Shift - Chris Kenner Before you purchase this make sure you notice that is says "Advanced". That's exactly what this sleight is if you haven't seen/heard of it before. This is a sleight that can be found in Expect At The Card Table which is rather difficult to understand in the book...

I've been into cardistry for roughly 2 months now. It's odd but one of the most difficult moves for me is the Revolution Cut. I will try to explain this as best as I can, if nothing else I'll provide a video later on today to help with the results. I started my cardistry with "The System" and...

I love to practice while listening to wonderful music which fits well with flourishing. I prefer intense symphony music to listen to and lately have become tired with what I have.... I'm wondering if anyone else could offer some suggestions. Here is what I have on my iPod at the moment so...
