Magnets.

90 seconds is really tough. You can't plan on doing much for patter with that. Something visual is your best bet. Matrix or a card effect using color changes, may be good for that setting. I do Joker's Wild all the time, and even though it's simple, it makes people gasp. Perhaps Brainwave could...

Keep an eye on the Saturday Night Contests. Some of them use Instagram, and you can follow people. And welcome to T11!

The best stuff requires reading. We read pages and pages and pages on forums, yet struggle to pick up a book (I'm often the same way). The best bang for the dollar as David points out is in books. Then individual tricks are great to fill in your act. But don't just learn from buying individual...

Oh my word. Thank you. I'm honestly humbled again. This week there was some awesome ideas, funny ones, and also some great editing work! @010rusty I honestly would have missed it, if you hadn't tagged me. Thank you.

That's kind of you to say so.

Haha thanks! That's the reason I saw it when I did. I've been on holidays and have my phone off most of the day.

Alright, here's the link: (edited to add YouTube link)

That happened to me too! Had to mix it up.

Oh man, just saw this. Casey, you're killing me with a time limit lol!

Here is an interesting podcast by Rhett & Link on magicians. They discuss their experiences and an article. Agree or disagree, I think it's an authentic view into the minds of two laymen. There was an interesting line about magicians not being authentic that I'm pondering.

Hmm. Yes and no. It really depends. But I would lean to yes. I was talking with Jason England when he was in town, and he pointed out that if you are doing the ambitious card and you use a pass that is unnoticed by the participant vs a double undercut, though the effect is the same (card...

I think my personal favorite victory was a recovery after doing a color change to what I thought was the card. It wasn't. This was for the CEO of a very large oil company that hired me, so I really wanted it to go well, and here I had messed it up! I was surprised and asked what card they had...

If you have any troubles with Theory11 products, the best thing to do is submit a support ticket.

Chamber Magic was very classic style, and the one I saw when I went. It was excellent. If I was to go now, I would be very very torn between Derek DelGuadio, Derren Brown (if he's still there), and Dan White's. Cost may be a factor, and some tickets are harder to get (like Dan's at the Nomad)...

Is it more deceptive when you have them cut but you place the packets crossed, or if you take the time to explain it to them to place the bottom half on top? (does that make sense )

Hmm. I have not liked it for a long time. I had a few observant people catch me on it and just have always done more reliable forces since then. But reading your post is making me consider: I wonder if I was caught simply because I was less experienced with the time delay and distraction...

Haha glad I'm not alone with my sore arm! Great job gang! A fun contest this week. Congrats Haschich!

So I've learned that having the bin on it's side is easier, so I tried to do that, and from a further distance to get more accurate shots. And I also realized that I'm terrible at this. So. Very. Bad.

Nice work gang! I might have to try and up my game!
