Hi everyone. I'd like to review the new trick by Bro Gilbert, the man who worked with Paul Harris on "True Astonishment". The name of it is "Deep 3". --The Effect: There are several ways of doing "Deep 3" but the main effect is to fan through a deck of cards, showing two...

There has been a few postings on this forum lately from the website called TED.com. This is a great site filled with talks from exceptional people and ideas ranging from scientific to entertaining. I recommend everyone bookmark this site and once in a while, catch a talk or two. Anyway, I...

When I was about ten years old I received a magic kit for Christmas. One of those big ones with the words "OVER 50 MAGIC TRICKS" splashed on the box. Now this was in the days before the internet, DVD's, even video tape. So it was a big box, with a lot of plastic playthings and this big book...

There's been a lot of discussion about the Masked Magician. There are plenty of people who dislike him with a more than understandable reason. But then this got me thinking: (because I don't think I've seen this specific angle on this topic brought up. If I missed it, sorry. It's kinda late...

Can you believe the exposure out there? Here at this link, http://www.cracked.com/video_15842_terrible-secret-behind-worlds-greatest-card-trick.html the world's greatest card trick is not only done but revealed how it's done. I am going to email the people who run the site and tell...

Funny things, nervous habits. For example, since I've started learning magic, I've recently discovered that when I am on the phone at work with a nasty customer, or in a tense situation or discussion with someone. I grab a deck of cards and just start doing some simple flourishes. (Because...

I don't know how common this is with other magicians but I seem to get this a lot. The best way to explain this is by example. For instance, I performed an ACR for someone at work. Spread the cards, put the spectator's card in the center of the deck, riffle the cards and the card appears...

I did a search but I couldn't find this question in the forums about "Dangerous" so here goes: Does "Dangerous" use any kind of gaffs or gimmicks? (Okay, I don't mean the flourish section of "Dangerous"......... Just making that clear. :) )

I don't know if anyone knows this or not, but there's a few people here who are making their own decks. USPC is now offering custom single decks at 19.99/deck. I got this information in an ad card in my recent purchase of a new deck. Just thought people would be interested. The website...

Forgive me for this "noobie" question, but I would like to learn this flourish. You are holding the deck face down in your hand the the card spins slowly on top of the deck face up. I like it. I wanna learn. So if anybody knows the name and where I can learn it, it would be appreciated...

Hi. I've been dieing to do this flourish for a long time. I did find the T-11 vid on it, (Thanks, guys!) but I still can't get this to work. It's like a lawnmower. It will start then stop. Or when I lift my thumb the card just wants to fall. I realize that I'll need more practice...

EDITED TO ADD: PLEASE WATCH THE VIDEO BEFORE READING THIS THREAD. This thread has spoilers..... I meant this video as one of my entries into the Saturday Contest last week, but I just couldn't finish it in time. I've finished it now, and I'm not sure it came out the way I wanted. So I'd...

Hi. I'm trying to get my videos uploaded to T11 but I'm having trouble. I've uploaded them directly, through youTube and Vimeo. (I later found out that I couldn't get any vids on Vimeo public). So far, I've not gotten any of the vids posted nor have I received any replies from T-11 about...

I bought Distortion when it first came out, and I'd like to get another gimmick (or two) for different back color and back ups. I know it was offered to get one if you can prove you bought the DVD (which I can, I still have my invoice), but I'd like to know if the offer is still there and if...

Okay, I'm opening up a can of worms here, but if we are polite, we can get a real good discussion going. And that's what I'm shooting for with this topic. As you may know, I do hypnosis mostly and I'm just starting to incorporate magic into it. I was inspired by Derren Brown and his style...

As you may know, I do stage hypnosis, I'm getting more into magic to try to mix the two. (Inspired by watch Derren Brown, I must admit). As I've been studying on Mentalism more and more, it seems to me that there are quite a few different kinds of Mentalism styles that are out now: There's...

I just ordered Distortion. How do I know if I'm getting one of the 300 advanced copies? (Well, someone had to ask it...) Thanks.
