6. Penetration
7. Restoration
8. Suspension
9. Levitation
10. Mentalism
1. Production

7. Restoration

10. Mentalism
There are actually 18 in my opinion. Before several different types of magic have been grouped under one category. (Mentalism for instance.) I have though about this long and hard, and trying to mix things up is rather silly. I could group Vanish and Transpo under Production by saying that "I produced nothing where the ball was, and produced ball over there where there was nothing.". Also, they are not theory's at all so I don't know why people call them that. Anyhow, that's the name they have so for sake of time I wont go into the whole "Theory's or categories?" debate.
The 18 theory's of magic:
Production
Vanish
Transposition
Transformation
Penetration
Restoration
Animation
Anti-Gravity/Levitation
Attraction/Repulsion
Sympathetic Reaction
Invulnerability
Physical Anomaly
Spectator Failure
Identification
Mentalism
Prediction
Skill
