Hello forum members, This should probably be in Product reviews, but then again this isn't really a review, more like me wondering about the nature of something peculiar. It's about Ekaterina Dobrokhotova's release on Theory11, PURE. Supposedly her debut cardistry release anywhere (at...

Hey guys, I just have a few questions about some bags I'm interested in getting. As we all know, T11 and Ellusionist are running holiday contests, both of which have a studio as grand prize. Well, since the odds are pretty much against me for ANY form of holiday contest anyways, if I'm...

Hello T11, I wanted to run this by the community before making any further decisions, even though I found the concept by myself. I doubt it is in any way original, but I have not been able to find it anywhere and I wonder what you think. What would you say are the pros and cons of this...

Hey guys, got back from the Dollar General and... well... Ok, so I found these AWESOME Rider Back black seal cards for $2.50 each. So I used my plastic (natch) and broke them open at home. And (you're not going to believe this) the joker had COLOR in it. COLOR. Looking back at the whole scale...

Forgive me for this "truth or dare" style thread, but... The question is, what is your absolute most CRAZY/RIDICULOUS/EMBARRASSING moment ever sustained in a magic convention? The type of event that you will remember for the rest of your life and laugh about it even years later. Got stabbed in...

I was noticing the Cooking Dice entry on his blog http://danielmadison.co.uk/Blog02.html (just go all the way down to the very bottom) Now, one part caught my attention; it describes the results he made. As a statistics graduate student, and especially given the fact that I JUST got out of a...

This probably has been discussed before, but just bear with me... So far I've been told of four different finishes to the playing cards: Air cushion (most common), Linoid, Cambric, and Smooth. The first three IMHO feel quite similar to one another and all have a grid of pit marks (the "air...

Hey guys, Just a quick question on Andrew Mayne's effects; many of them require a bedsheet to perform properly (i.e. 5th dimension, event horizon, etc.) What size would be best for ideal performance, and what guidelines exist? Also, could one use a tapestry (like the ones found in head shops...

OK, so I got some useful info from the previous discussion as depicted in the link, so I have another question. Actually three; you see, I have come to store my pads rolled up in my case. I would roll them so that the felt was face-out and then when that was done, secure it by rolling a...

Hey guys, I have one of these folding close up mats by Bob James that I got from the Magifest 2010, but I soon realized that, although it looked good for a bit, it soon became rather impractical to carry. See, I have an OGIO brand hip hop messenger bag (which I say should be the new...

Hey guys, I just had a few questions that I thought I should ask; it's hard to find a reputable source for answers these days... :o OK first question; I am planning for a small magic show for some gathering. It's theme is Alice in Wonderland, so I thought some magic might be appropriate...

I was watching this video on the Three disk monte by Nicholas Johnson of Australia, linked here: Three Disk Monte Spoiler: You are not able to win this simulation the normal way. All decisions lead to a losing outcome. But that's not the point. The point is, WHERE can one find disks...

Hey Guys, Well as you probably know at this point, Master Danny Garcia is currently in the Columbus OH area, presumably staying at the Crowne North Plaza hotel up North. In great anticipation for Magifest, no doubt. I wonder what he will be doing/selling in his shows. But, while we're on...

Hello colleagues: I am a magician of two years and a student of over 6 years at The Ohio State University. Over the past quarter, I have found that these forums are an excellent way to make new friends. This is exactly how I met AlexYoung21. On the other hand, personal communication is good...

Not to willingly bash anyone here, but... I saw this one trick by Shigeo Futagawa and Meir Yedid called Catch that Tiger which I thought was cute, but for the situation we have now could be, well, more pop culture-oriented. Here's the YouTube preview...

Hey Guys, I'm trying to get Omnilope by Jay Sankey and I want to set up the gimmick like 5 seconds after buying it at the magic shop. I'll be bringing my DVD player there so that I could get the instructions down, but aside from the envelopes, what else would I need to bring? X-Acto knives...

Hey Guys, I was one of the guys to take advantage of Sankey's holiday pack and BOY was it worth the price! What a way to save some cold cash! :D But one thing bugs me... many of his effects claim that they were shown on National television such as Holy Moly and Astral Projection. What, did...

Hey Guys, I called my magic dealer in the Columbus OH area (Be Amazing Magic Shop) and for once he was not able to answer: I am wondering how I can get the Deland Automatic Deck from a magic supplier. I am aware it was once sold by S.S. Adams magic company, but now I can't seem to find it...
