theory11 — Magic Tricks & the World's Finest Playing Cards

theory11 roundtable discussion - Dan and Dave Buck

Will you guys ever do a "battle" in flourishing? (Meaning Dan vs. Dave)

How do you get your creativity?

Do you practiced to music? If so, what do you practice to?

What are your absolut (hehe pun intented) FAVORITE cards?

Will you guys release any new material flourish-wise in the next few years?

Some people might know about your new project "Improv". What are some things that will be included? Also, just to clarify, it is a set of notes, right?
 
1.Do you think there is a limit to what card flourishing can become? Our body can only be used to so many ways.
2.Who do you think is gonna be the big hit in the future in terms of flourishing?
3.If you can fight anyone who would it be?
4.Will there be one day where all flourishes are made?
 
What magic is best for school? (Most people on these forums are in highschool/college so this comes up a lot). More specifically, for performing for a class of about 20 or 30... A reply would be greatly appreciated by many!

isnt your questions 1 and 4 basically the same.............
 
1. What can we be expecting from you guys in the future? [ Be it books, dvds, on demand ]

2. Do you guys run the d&d industries all by yourselfs? if so, ever thought of engaging extra manpower?
 
1. What was the first flourish and magical effect you ever learned?
2. When you create something new, do you have something in mind to begin with or just mess around and see what happens?
3. Who first helped you guys get into buisness, if anyone did or was everything you did pretty much on your own?
4. When you guys were designing Smoke and Mirrors, what did you strive for to put into the cards as well as other things about the cards?
5. Did your parents support you guys flourishing and doing magic?
6. Who is the older twin?
Thanks!
 
-How long did it take for the nervousness of performing for people (sweaty hands, butterflies, shaking) to go away?
-What was the first effect you ever performed for a lay person?
 
I have a lot of questions so I thought I'd condense most of it into the following:
Mac or PC?
*macough*
Mario or Luigi?
Manual or automatic?
Classical or metal?
MySpace or Facebook?
McCain or Obama?
Beamer or Benz?
Paper or Plastic?
Hummer or Prius?
Joe Torri or Joe the Plumber?
For here or to go?
Debit or credit?
Gimmicked or impromptu?
Chick flick with a stunning girl you barely know or action film with your best guy friends?
Math or English?
Blonde or brunette?
"Bring it on!" or "Take the easy way out..."?
Pull a prank or dodge a prank?
Vanilla or chocolate?
Summer or winter?
Talk or text?
 
Smoke and Mirror decks for me embodies a certain timeless elegance. Do you feel that this represents and/or augments your performance style?

To what degree do you guys think the choice of performance deck can help your performance - choosing a deck that suits your style, presentation, setting and of course which feels great for example?

Certain sections of the community disliked double D's (on the cards). How much do critics affect your products, both positive and negative?

On a less serious note, what do you guys think of Double D's? :P

If you could adopt a third Buck, who would it be?

The earth has been hit by a comet, and only one deck of cards remain. You two, Chris Kenner, Wayne Houchin, and Lee Asher are the only surviving humans and decide to fight over the cards. Who gets the cards, and why?
 
-What is your favorite kind of effect? (color change, sandwich, ACR, triumph, ect.)
-What do you do when/if someone heckles you?
-Have you ever messed up an effect and had to cover it up on the spot?
