I made a very hard decision that was a long time in coming about a week ago. I've decided to give up magic and continue other interests in my life. Normally, I wouldn't even care to post about this, but I figured that somebody might be able to benefit from this. I will slowly be placing my...

I was thinking about this for a while now, and I wanted to get some opinions from the members here. Let's just say that hypothetically you ran into some money, say $10,000. Would that dictate your "path" in your magic career? Basically, would you find it wise to finally buy all of the stuff...

I've been wanting to make this thread for a few hours now, but I've just now found the time to sit down and type it out. As some of you might know, I'm more of a magician than I am a cardist, but that doesn't mean that I don't find the time to practice it. I've found that when I warm up that...

I was watching one of my favorite television programs while dog sitting for my grandparents when I took notice to the topic of the show, which was just being more organized so that stress doesn't take over. I got to thinking about my life as a magician and the small stressful problems that...

I've seen this effect performed many times from different places, but I never caught the name of it until recently. It has been an effect that I've always wanted to have under my belt, but I haven't found a place that teaches the proper technique. Do any of you happen to know where I could...

If you happen to go to Wayne's website, you will notice that there is a newer description of the effect and the DVD itself. It in a bit deeper than the others that I've seen. It also happens to show that Danny G. will be providing a bonus effect titled "Stop". Does anyone happen to know...

I was spelunking last night in the great depths of my trashed closet when I ran across two things that I never thought I'd see again. A used Circle Back Viper deck that I recieved two Christmas' ago, and a sealed Fan Back red Tally-Ho No.9 deck. I immediatly broke open both decks and...

I've been doing magic for a little more than a year, and I've become quite confortable with a deck of cards in hand. I've dabbled in coin magic here and there with a few effects such as Silver Dream and 3fry, but I'm still not too confident in my coin work skills. I bought the J. B. Bobo book...

I was laying in bed, wide awake, last night as I usually do when I started to wonder about something. I've heard from somewhere...even though I can't remember where. I remember hearing or reading that it was important to have some sort of consistancy with the types of tools that you use in...

I was screwing around on Ellusionist when I noticed that they put up a small banner advertising Danny G's new effect called "Fallen". I was wondering if anyone knew any information about it. I've heard the name here and there, but I've got no clue as to what it actually is. It sounds like it...

I opened up a brand new deck of Guardians last night when the deck that I've been using for the past month finally had it, and wouldn't fan for anything. I pulled out the ad card and the double backed card and noticed something a little bit different. Is it just me, or did the printer press...

I've been thumbing through my copy of Totally Out Of Control when I decided that I wanted to learn the S.W. Elevator effect. I found that upon review of the instruction on the effect that the main sleight used in the trick is explained in more detail in the book mentioned in the title of...

I was watching the TV guide channel trying to find something interesting to watch when on one of the local channels here in North Carolina said that at 8PM eastern they are showing an hour long special on The World Magic Awards. I haven't heard anything about it until now, and I was wondering...

Have you ever found yourself surrounded by overwhelming ideas one after the other, but found that you are lacking the knowledge to bring that idea to fruition? I have. My question to everyone here is... If one wanted to educate himself on the art of illusion, how would someone go about...

I think that I won one of the prizes for the Christmas contest. I recieved a large black envelope in the mail, and inside was another yellow envelope. Inside was a Guardian deck with a hologram seal. Whoa...I'm definatly shaking with excitement! Shane K.

I was sitting at the computer as I usually do, and I started to think about different ideas that could become tangible effects in magic. Normally, I rarely think about creating because I've still got plenty to learn. However, every once in a while I'll have a fleeting thought of some things...

I was laying in bed fiddling around with the linking rubber bands effect taught in Chris Kenner's "Totally Out Of Control", when all of a sudden one of my rubber bands snapped and gave me a small lashing on the hand. At that moment I put the book down and looked into my box of magic stuff...

Wow... So, I recieved my autographed Wynn deck from the Witness contest that were signed by Lee Asher. I must admit, using Brown Wynn decks was something I wasn't expecting. Thank you Theory11 & Lee Asher! :) Shane K.

I wanted to express my love for everyone here and specifically more so towards the crew here at Theory11 who have been there for us to help point us into the right direction when it comes to bettering ourselves in our art. So, without further ado...Happy Holidays...

I was looking through my brand new book that just came in the mail from a couple of special people on the forums, and I couldn't help but see Homer being mentioned on every other page. I ended up googling him and ran across his website, and I found an effect that looks like pure, visual...
