I picked up cards for the first time in a year last month, and it made me realize: I've spent a lot of money on playing cards. --- <redacted, this was vomit-worthy>

Just a little idea that is similar to TiVo - Kind of a face up Time Machine, if you will. - Spectator chooses card (C1). Shown to everyone. Card held onto/placed aside. - Another card is chosen (C2). Shown to everyone. Openly outjogged face-up in middle of deck. - C1 returned to top of...

I was wondering if Zap is worth the money. I'm looking into mentalism, and already have a few books lined up to purchase (any suggestions you have would be appreciated as well); Is Zap worth the money - is it really "the best"? What kind of applications are there to using it? E.g., is it...

Hi, all. Just wondering if anyone has received any FAKE Jerry's Nuggets from sellers on ebay and which ones buyers should stray away from. Also, if you've been unlucky enough to get fake jerry's; please PM me.

AN ESSAY ON THE MORALITY AND HABITS OF THE MODERN MAGIC COMMUNITY (at least, as it pertains to the online community on Theory11) Hello, my fellow Theory11 member. Before we get started, I would like to make a rather simple request- one that some of you may ignore. I simply request that you read...

I'm looking to create some of my own aesthetic tunes, purely for my videos. Any suggestions for which programs are the best are much appreciated.

The title pretty much says it all. I'd like to find a way to secretly obtain Spectator A's signature on two different cards without their knowledge... Sounds impossible, but I've seen it done before, ages ago. If you have any information, I'd appreciate a PM or a post. Cheers, Ben

Hi, I'd like to re-introduce myself. Some of you may know me, some may not. Those who do may or may not like me; I don't really care and that isn't the point of this post anyways. I took a long break from Theory 11 due to many things, due in part to the way things had turned out on the forums...

The idea is to have ONE thread with everyone's original tricks/ideas/sleights. Please post a link to a video of the thing you want displayed in this thread. Please don't ruin this thread by filling it with worthless spam. ============================== THE LIST ---------------------last...

So, I was at work the other day (I work at Starbucks). Often, I'll do a simple tenkai vanish and production of the customer's credit card/starbucks card, especially if they have a young child with them. So, a customer comes in with his daughter, purchases some drinks, and I decide to do a...

Alright, I know my camera sucks, but what do you guys think about the picture? Check it out in my album: http://forums.theory11.com/album.php?albumid=70 Yes, the left hand's fan kind of sucks, but I had the camera on a three second timer. I also realize that the angles could have been a bit...

Why the hell are all of you complaining? I'm tired of the lack of maturity and general niceties in this forum. Note: This is posted in regard to the many threads, posts, and messages concerning: Smoke and Mirrors Products Responding to peoples' questions The bickering needs to stop. If you...

I'm writing this in the hope that the confused will read it, and clear up some of their misunderstandings of the definitions of the terms below. Impromptu: An impromptu effect is one that can be performed at any time, with any deck, and absolutely no previous work required. Setup: Setup...

A new Specialty Forum: Mentalism I believe that mentalism has always been a huge part of magic, although not too many performers take time to practice the art or become knowledgeable about it. It's a totally different kind of art than card magic, etc- one might even go so far as to say that the...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Df5PorJPboM === It's pathetic, yet hilarious.

This is not another one of those "I was this, and this, and this, and you need to stop doing this" kinds of threads. Theory11 is an amazing example of how quickly an online community with semi-mature members can come together and make a name for itself. However, I believe that it is still in...

Alright, I've been into web and graphic design for some time now, and saw a thread about a guy designing his own cards, which got me thinking. Before submitting images to the USPCC: When designing the cards, what size do I make the image? Do I need to design every face, or just the Ace of...

History: To my knowledge, I am the original creator of this little gem. All research I have done has only strengthened this belief. If, after reading the effect, someone has proof otherwise, please PM me the information you have. Published history: [ 2008 ] "Journal One" by Ben Den Hartog...

You're in for one of those "I forgot how good this felt; darn, i love magic" stories. As I've mentioned before, I've been practicing the art of illusion somewhat sporadically over the past seven years. I started getting "into it" again about a month and a half ago (and also, as a side note...

I use Sony Vegas for my video editing, and am becoming more skilled at it each time I use it. I do, however, have one question: How on earth do you guys get a full white/full black background when you are filming? I've heard it called "the studio" before. How would I go about renting/using...
