    We've been dreaming. The Mystery Box.

    I'd love to chime in on this, if I may. As all of you know, I'm a huge art fan. Whether it's my own bottles or the works of others, I truly love art; both as a creator and and as a purchaser. And if there's one thing I learned about art over the years is that's it's truly priceless; for one...

    Pav- that is a beautiful summary- thank you for that!

    We've been doing it all wrong. My TEDx talk.

    Thanks, guys. That is really so kind. Truly. And the amount of work it took to get there was more than you would think, lol. Happy to have had the opportunity and to share my story!

    We've been doing it all wrong. My TEDx talk.

    Hiya Gang! Sorry I've been away for so long- but this took a serious part of the last year- and I figure sharing this might be a good reason to get back into the posting game; now that life is a little bit less crazy...

    Is Magic an Art? Thread #459

    Is magic an art? Great question. But I reckon my goal isn't to be an artist. My goal is to be myself.

    Anything Is Possible Bottle.

    Hiya Gang! Thanks for bringing this to light- it's a great conversation! Why? Not because of "ownership" or "rights" but because it speaks directly of one of my favorite subjects and passions: Art. So let me say this right off the bat~ I have zero right, absolutely none, to ever tell anyone...

    Draven Reviews: Industrial Revelation

    Wow! What an amazing review!! I'm just on my phone, but let me quickly say, "THANKS!!!" It's not produced by Theory 11, though (even though I obviously love it here) and the name is pretty close ;) ...Industrial Revelation. Thanks William!!!

    Jamie D. Grant Interview!

    Thanks for inviting me to do that! I'm usually the one doing the asking, so that was a super fun change! Did anyone else give it a quick read?

    My version of the sealed deck in a bottle :)

    Lol, that picture actually made my day. I love it!!!

    The Vault, from Jamie D. Grant~ A new card guard.

    It's done!! Hurrah! Get ready for a lot of pictures, lol. And, after the damask, we managed to give it a UV clear coat- and it worked wonderfully. The die is perfect and everything looks like we're ready to start production. As of now, I'm hoping for an official release of... The Vault...

    I Need YOUR Help!

    Hiya Anthony, I always read threads when people ask for help and I think I'd like to offer my thoughts, if you like... Take some time and reconsider this approach. There's, in my mind, just too many things that can go wrong: 1) She doesn't like magic. 2) She feels put on the spot and will...

    The Vault, from Jamie D. Grant~ A new card guard.

    Thanks guys! Divided Mind: awesome question. It's actually pretty much impossible to bend a sheet of metal into perfect 90 degrees. And it would cost a fortune to carve out a chunk of brass. So what we do is make something called a die. It costs a couple of thousand of dollars to make one, but...

    Chop Cup

    Hiya Gang! Actually, this is an easy fix. Just take a pin, or needle, and push it into the ball. All you need to do is move the magnet into the center a bit more- it's just gone to one side, making it too strong. Once you give it a slight push, you'll see a difference. You can watch me do a...

    The Vault, from Jamie D. Grant~ A new card guard.

    nlvan, Great question! I think it has better 'box' protection but probably not as good "deck" protection. Time will tell I think! I like the sleek look, it lets you perform IR while inside, acts as a deck holder- cool! and will be made of brass. Hurrah! It's pretty hard to beat a Porper (which...

    The Vault, from Jamie D. Grant~ A new card guard.

    Hiya Gang! Well, if you're friends with me on Facebook or follow me on Twitter, you'll know I've been working on a new card guard for the last little while. It all stemmed from the need to protect the boxes that are used for Industrial Revelation a bit, because the pound and a half of steel...

    How many tricks should you learn?

    Talk about a late reply, on my part! I would say cards are wonderful- they instantly establish what you're doing and why you're there. That said, the majority of the world has probably seen a card trick or two before. But not many, I dare say~ hardly any, have seen excellent close-up magic with...

    Performing for individual tables at a party......

    Great question! The key to this is body blocking! When I'm at a table, I'll actually turn my back to the table behind me. While this might seem rude at first, it's not; as I will always give a quick a look over my shoulder and make a comment to them, like: "I hope your all of your hands are...
