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

theory11 roundtable discussion - Daniel Garcia Edition

What can you tell us about your upcoming wallet?

Do you think magic is being corrupted by youtube exposer?

When you are using gimmicks such as Gaffs, How do you get out of a situation when a spectator asks to inspect the deck, your pockets, ect.?
 
1. When inventing new tricks, do you ever get "stuck"? What do you do to help?

2. What Type of Cards Do you like the most, and why?

3. Will you teach me how to ride a unicycle?
 
What was your funniest reaction you got performing magic?

What was the most embarrising thing that happened during a performance?

Do you love JB?
 
Whats it like being a role model to thousands of people? Knowing there are people out there that want to be just like you? Is there a lot of pressure involved?


Your one of the few magicians to not only known for your card work, but also your coin work. How do you become successful in both fields? I have enough trouble as it is with card magic, how the heck am I supposed to also do coin magic. Should I just stick with cards, or should i expand my horizons?

Many magicians have certain advantages when first learning magic. They have mentors, or they have a local magic shop or magic ring where they can interact with other magicians. My question is, is it possible to become a true professional magician without these things? I don't have a magic shop, or mentor, or anything. All I have is a deck of cards and myself. Is that enough to make it?
 
yes i love danny. ok

1. where did you get you super ninja skills

2.when did you start performing magic and who or what was your inspiration

3.where was the craziest place you've ever performed
 
As far as I know, it has not been confirmed that each of us can only have three questions. Thus, here are three in case we are not allowed to have more. I might make another post with more questions, in case we are allowed to have more. If we aren't just don't count those and only count these.

1 - Have you achieved the desired image you want to be seen as? Is there a higher level of fame you would like to shoot for, or possible even a lower notch? Are you happy with what people think of [you as a] magician/your magic?

2 - Do you see magic more as an art, to be preserved and only let out to those who are worth it, or a practice, to be gushed out? Or both? If you said art, why do you think magic deserves a spot in history? If you said a practice, then how far would you like to see magic go?

3 - What do you think about the future of magic? It appears youth are taking a hand on the industry, both creating and performing. What are your thoughts?

Daniel,

If you were forbidden to use one of these 3 sleights for the rest of your life, which would it be?

4 - In many of your products, you use gimmicks to create a reaction. Have you ever felt uneasy about using gimmicks? Do you prefer to go clean or dirty? If dirty, have you ever run into any problems with spectators grabbing for the props?

5 - What motivates you to create/perform magic? Who are your role models; your heros in magic?

6 - If you could change one thing that happened in your magic career, what would it be?

7 - How does it feel to be on the cover of Magic Magazine? Was this a goal of yours, to be on the cover of a magazine? What other long term goals have you accomplished/still need to finish?

That's all for now. Thanks!

1. I remember a short while ago you were talking about fasting for a month or somewhat longer to purge your system. What were the results of that? Did it help?

2. I've seen videos of you performing to your family. Do you believe performing for family is important and what is so important about it?

3. When you were younger did you find it hard to be taken seriously as a young magician? If so what did you do to overcome those trials and tribulations?

When you perfom do you ever use any other magicians material that is on the market? Or do you just stick with the stuff your selling.

Dana doesn't love Danny. Dana hates Danny because Danny has Wayne's love, while Dana doesn't. :D

No offense to Dana, you just don't get Wayne's love.
 
Well i just logged on so i have no chance of thinking up any real questions so here it goes...

1. I hear (but am not certain) that you have a Card # and Symbol tattooed in your inner lip. What other acts of pure dedication have you done?
2. Two years ago me and my friend starting in magic bought Greed thinking it was the most amazing thing ever. In the Dvd you say that one day you jumping into a lake with all your clothes on and your gimmicks in your pockets.... WHY AND HOW did that happen?
3. If you had to play tug-o-war twister with only 3 theory11 guys who would you choose (wink wink) lol?
