Hey guys, Approximately how many tricks are submitted to Theory 11 in an average week, and how often do you find one that's "good" enough to market? Thanks, -Matt

Hey guys, This may not have been the smartest thing to do, but I did, in fact, learn how to pick a pair of Smith & Wesson Model 100 handcuffs on YouTube. (Is there anything they DON'T expose today?) Later I ordered my first pair of cuffs online and had escaped from them (without a key :p)...

Hey guys, I haven't bought playing cards in a while. My last purchase was... let's see... wow. Guardians. My question to all the magicians here on Theory 11 is: What's the best, must-have, Theory 11 exclusive deck? RULES: 1. In order to vote, you must OWN the deck you voted for, or at least...

Hey guys, I've been doing pure street magic (all close-up) for about 2 and a half years and I want to move toward building a routine best suited for small audiences. I'm embarrassed to say that I don't own ANY spongeballs, silks, or any cabaret-type effects. I'm considering starting with an...

Sup guys, I'm considering picking up a deck of DB's split spades and I've got a strange question: Is there a card in DB's Split Spades (either Lions or Original) that just has the "DB" logo? I've circled the specific card I'm looking for in the attached picture.

Hey guys, I've been into close-up (mostly card) magic for a little over two years now, but I'm looking for some close-up tricks that work well on stage. I've used The Invisible Deck a couple of times for large audiences (30+ people) and it's been great. Anyone had any other close-up tricks work...

Hey guys, Haven't posted here in a while, but I just thought it would be cool to share this: I was just bumming around iTunes and found this sweet Podcast called, "Scam School." This may be old news to everyone, but it's new to me. Just open iTunes and search the store for "Scam School." They...

Hey guys, I've got some of Michael Ammar's Magic Wax which is great for card to ceiling and card through window, but can anyone suggest some wax that works great with invisible thread? Thanks, -Matt

Hey guys, I've searched for the answer to my question for a while, but no dice... I'm considering purchasing the DVD+Download version of Prophet, but I don't know what file type the download is... Is it .m4v? I only have the free version of Quicktime- do I need to go to Quicktime Pro in order...

Hey guys, I've been trying to get some exposure as a local magician and I've posted about 4 videos so far on MySpace and YouTube, and it's got me thinking... Should I use videos of my performances to help get my name out there? I'm still so new to magic, I'm constantly tweaking and...

Hey guys, I just tried to upload a video to the Media Section and I filled out all the stuff and hit "submit." When I did, the progress bar shot to 100% (literally within a second...) and it never said "upload complete" or anything... Should I try again or did it get through? How do I know?

Hey guys, Does Lance Burton have any performance DVDs? I searched lanceburton.com and Google and can't find anything... Just curious.

Hey guys, I just got back from doing magic at the local mall- It was my first time doing walk-around magic in a real-world street environment. I found it interesting and I plan on going out again tomorrow. I'm really picky about the spectators I choose and I like to either seek out people that...

Hey guys, I've been noticing a lot of threads recently about hypnotism, and I'm just curious: What's the difference between mentalism and hypnotism? As far as I'm aware: Mentalism: Uses psychology, suggestion, misdirection, and showmanship (according to Derren Brown) in order to create the...

Hey guys, I just watched a video review of DB's Split Spades Lions. When the deck was opened, the cards weren't in order. He mentioned that the cards are stacked for certain tricks right out of the box so you can litterally pull off the plastic, and go straight into a trick. Anyone know what...

Hey guys, Is there any way I can remove videos uploaded to the media section? Thanks, -Matt

Hey guys, Most of you have probably seen the trick where the magician pulls a piece of thread through their eye. I first saw this effect in season 1 of Criss Angel's Mindfreak, and later saw a clip on YouTube where Wayne Houchin performed it as well. This (trick?) looks so crazy real I had to...

Hey guys, I know there have been various other threads on this topic, but I thought I'd make a poll to see where you guys stand... I personally think Dana (is the best name ever) Hocking is an amazing writer and everytime I hear a track of his, I want to go out and do some magic. What do you...

Hey guys, I normally carry a deck of cards and a Sharpie everywhere I go... But what about the occasional day you wake up late and rush out the door without any cards? How many times has this happened to you? Someone walks up to you and says, "Hey, show me a trick!" You reach into your...
