I couldn't hear the questions at all, but everything Ammar said came through fine. And that's all that really mattered.
Ammar is just awesome. I love this guy. One of the best magicians alive today--both as a performer as well as a person--hands down.
Michael Ammar is awesome, thanks for the interview, it is always inspiring to hear one of 'the greats' talk about the new generation and how fast it is moving, it reminds us not to take all the easily accessible knowledge out there for granted.
The sound could have been better, but I turned the volume up and heard him just fine :)
I agree alot with Sands.Young magicians from these days are overloaded with that cool,fancy,flashy
E......nist & co. type of magic.Nothing wrong with that,I like that stuff also,but at that time when I was starting out magic.There was no Onlineshop or site.I went to magicshops and was inspired by the "old guys". Vernon,Ammar,Slydini.Read their books.I do magic for 17 years now.
I think alot of our young magicbudys shold look more often back to our roots.
So, this was my first comment to Theory 11 and I must say that I love this site and all the artists who are involved with it.
a BIG tahnk you for this!
yours in magic,

I sure wish the sound was better. However I understand that when given the chance to interview someone you do not always have a way to do it under optimum conditions. I enjoy Michaels performances that I have seen, video only. Wish I had the oppertunity to see him in person lecturing or performing.
I agree. Michael is great and I've seen a couple of volumes of his Easy to Master Card Miracles. Darryl's Encyclopedia of Card Sleights is a great set also. Both these guys blow you away with their ease and mastery of sleights and their teaching skill.
Michael Ammar is my sleight of hand idol. Not many people know him though. That's what's wrong with the magicians today. They only know Wayne Houchin, Daniel Garcia, Brad Christian, etc. Nobody looks at the AMAZING classic magicians like Michael Ammar, Goshman, and Dai Vernon. Most people only know about Dai Vernon because they heard Brad Christian say his name. I mean, atleast KNOW something about them. I LOVE MICHAEL!
