I´m glad to see that the forums are still going strong, I come back from time to time ( Mainly because I struggle sometimes with my acces to internet) but it´s great to see new users that actually contribute something to the forum with thought provoking posts. :) I want to bring a topic of...

I have been around the forums quite a while now, I used to be pretty active maybe a year or 2 ago, and it was around that time that a section called ¨battlewhatever thing¨was going on. It was a section where you challenged a magician, both of you recorded a trick from what I like to call the...

So I have been pondering this idea for a while now, and it actually amuses me how many "Ground breaking top card control that it's going to change your lifeeee" come around each year. My point being, I don't see the point of learning so many controls and "utility moves" (Unless of course you...

For those of you that do "Freak" by Will Houstoun, There is a tiny little thing that you could do in your performance, after you "break your finger" you offer to demonstrate it on the finger of a spectator, telling them to close their eyes and to imagine that their finger is made of rubber...

You know, I log in from time to time, to check interesting threads or thoughtful threads, and the only thing I see around is threads with the word " Wire". I know, it is great and all, but would it be possible for the t11 crew to make a board exclusively for the wire? Thanks :)

Hey guys, it's been a while since I posted something, and I remember a thread not so long ago talking about how having a heckler "sux" , so I would like to speak a little bit about how to avoid them, and in a worst case escenario, handle them. Beware, it might be a long read :) IDENTIFY...

hey guys! I have been practicing hypnosis for some time now, and with tips and suggestions from Dicer and Mr. Madman, well, things got really really good. I can actually achieve the somnabulism state where I can create allucinations and very powrful suggestions. The thing is this, I started...

Hey guys, I have been wondering if there are performer hipnotists around that could help me with a couple of things that I need advice for, if there is anyone that has some time please let me know :)

I have been reading a lot of Criss Angel threads lately, and I would like to initiate a discussion on something that I think hasn't been brought to the table before.... what if...... THERE WAS NO CRISS ANGEL? I mean, we dish the guy A LOT. But think for a minute, what would you think...

A color change. A convincing control to both the top and bottom. A steal. Endless possibilities. After 2 years working on the sleight, RD teaches you in this 18 min long video, the mechanics and the nuances of the "Tenkai steal" a move that in the correct settings is highly useful, highly...

Hey guys, Like a year ago, I bought "panic" and I even started a thread about how to blend it in a trick, now, a year after, I actually came up with a routine that blends the trick in, where you start clean and you end clean, I hope you guys like it and if you guys actually like and actually...

So I have a little project in mind to help all the magicians out here grow (and myself too in the procces) as live performers and it's called a patter/performance book? Now in resume is kinda like the "Go. out .Perform" Project (wich you can see here ) but withouth the fat. So the Go out...

So Zac Eckstein ( The guy that in my opinion holds the record for more Live performances shared in here and my friend ) Asked me to share with you guys a couple of his essays, why didn't he posted them himself? I don't know, he must have his reasons, but whatever the reasons are, I actually...

Hey! I'm back :) I know I was banned, I apologised, because I kinda messed up in the past, I'm not going to lie, I have been through some serious problems in my life and I miss magic more than ever, as I told Jon, I don't even carry a deck of cards around like before! (yeah CRAZY). The...

(Long read, be warned) Magic or trickery? Jesus, Have I seen this debate to death? A lot of magicians defend the thought of "use theater! sell your effects as real magic!" while other hang to the thought of "Tell them is sleight of hand and let them marvel at your skill, they are not dumb...
