    Mirage Et Trois by Eric Jones....

    Well, I'll be honest. I hate writing reviews. But sometimes I like something so much, I feel obligated. Especially in this case. I'm talking about Mirage Et Trois by Eric Jones. This isn't going to be a long, detailed review either, but most of you that know me know if I write a review about...

    Business section of the site?

    Hey guys... Lately, I've seen a few threads on here regarding the business side of magic. Unfortunately, they get lost rather quickly due to all the other threads on here, some rather pointless. I was wondering what the general consensus would be on having a business section of the site. Not...

    Any coins across routines out there?

    Hey guys...I'm looking to do some research on an 'in the hands' coins across routine I've been working on. It uses 6 regular half dollars, and I think it's pretty strong. Anyways, just wondering of some other coins across routines that might be out there that are similar. I'm not looking to sell...

    Justin Miller lecture -- after the fact.

    Hey all...so, last night was the Justin Miller lecture. WOW. First and foremost, I've said it before. Justin is just one of the most generous people I've had the pleasure to meet. He treats you more like an old friend than a fan. I was surprised that he even remembered my name and who I was...

    Eric Jones working with theory11?

    Hey guys...now that it's in the open, just wondering if anyone from here can shed some light on what's going on with Eric and possibly some new 1-on-1 downloads? Possibly a new dvd or trick? I'm a big fan of his work, and can actually call him a friend. Aside from being a great entertainer...

    Standard Shipping?

    I'm not normally one to complain about shipping prices, but I just went to pick up a 6 pack of Guardians and the cheapest shipping about $12! 2 weeks ago when I ordered, it was about about $7, and that was fine. But wow...did something happen to just jack the prices way up? The cheapest...

    Photoshop Experts

    Can someone please take this image and make the edges faded, so that it's not such a harsh transition on a red background? I just re-designed my site, and that is the only thing bothering me at the moment. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!! :D -Steve

    T11 videos on iPod?

    Hey all. I got the new ipod nano a while ago, and can't for the life of me figure out how to get them onto my ipod. iTunes says it won't sync, because they're not viewable from my ipod. I was hoping someone knows a way around this??? I'm talking about a few 1-on-1's I have. Thanks! :) Steve

    Bicycle Karnival Deck... VERY Short Review

    So...I've talked to a few people from here about the new Bicycle Karnival deck. Just got mine in today, and thought I'd throw a quick (VERY quick) review out there. Long story short, the cards handle like bicycle cards are known for. If there's anything different, I don't notice it. The design...

    WTF???? I thought I missed it at first, or it was leading up to something but that??? :rolleyes: I was very impressed with everything else, just thought the ending was a bit lacking due to such hype....

    Guess who's back?!

    That would be me...but this time, I didn't come looking for the gig, it found me by way of someone whom many of you will recognize the name. Today I got a call from Eric Henning...most will probably know him, so no introduction is necessary. Anyways, turns out he got a new restaurant, and he...

    Has it become a fad...?

    To say that you go through a lot of cards all the time? I often wondered that...we often here magicians say "I go through a deck of cards a day" or "a deck of cards doesn't last me more than an hour." In some cases, that's true. High humidity can destroy cards, as can sticky tables and greasy...

    Flashy reveal of top card?

    Hey guys... I'm sure one of y'all could help me out. I need a flashy way of producing the top card of the deck, without showing the face. I've messed around with the hot shot cut, but won't have enough time to get it down good. No exposure, just a name or something. :) Thanks! Steve

    Is there to much of an emphasis on creating?

    Do you think that many newer magicians today make a bigger deal out of creating new stuff, as opposed to just performing whats already out there? Is this one reason why there is soooo much bad magic on the market today? I think that one should not try to create, until one has understood the...
