As magicians it is our job to show people the impossible and improbable. However, it remains a little unclear as to whether or not it is our job to make people believe the impossible and improbable. At discourseinmagic.com we recently did an interview with Artist Ben Train on the ethics of...

Well, I've established a modified long term 4 year goal, which is to make my up the ladder cuts look so smooth it looks like I'm handling water. For those that are into speed and fluidity, how long would this take?? I started handling cards back in 2012. What I've learned so far from...

Hello! I recently saw that theory11 made a new limited deck for the upcoming NYSM2 movie. I know that the box is different, but that's the only thing I know. The cards look pretty much the same to me. Is there any difference I'm missing out on? Any slight color differences I overlooked? Thanks...

This month will mark 3 years that I have been a member of Theory11. I have been exposed to a lot of card magic in that time. And I recently found out that if you type in Theory11 on Google you will find my Jack of Clubs painting if you scroll down a little ways.(This is probably my biggest...

I used to play chess when I was younger and it still fascinates me to some extent. Anyway I encountered this video where Grandmaster describes a move made by a hustler as a "Magic Trick". I just thought I would share this with everyone. Magic on the chessboard. For those not interested in...

I am in love with the new theory11 website layout. I woke up this morning to go check out the Saturday Night Contest results, and I was taken aback by what I saw. Some of the cool features are the smoke on the banner. Really good stuff... Loving it. Let everyone know your thoughts on the new...

Hello All, I was just wondering if anyone is interested in a thread of show and tell. All you have to do is post a picture of the most important part of your magic life and in a sentence or two explain why. I'll start. This is a painting of a Jack of Clubs(my favorite card), I...

I've been looking at theory11's website, and saw that the wire is also part of theory11. What's the difference? Is it about that The Wire only does downloads? This is my first comment in the forums, hopefully it gets read ;).

I am of course referring to the plethora of "Things Mr.X is no longer allowed to do in Y" lists found online, starting with the military version from 2001. Something I've wondered is, do us magicians have similar things? They could maybe refer to recent scandals, specific product abuse...

My favorite artist is undoubtedly Wayne Houchin. His presentation is amazing and his tricks are way too easy to perform. I dislike performing with gimmicks and prefer 100% impromptu and most tricks of W.N. like Stigmata and indecent are gimmickless. I also like Daniel Madison. What about you...
