    Thoughts on Impossible Card Magic by Ray Kosby

    I recently got this and I thought I'd share my thoughts on it. Note: If you thought the clipshift was difficult, you might as well give up. This DVD is not for the meek. I highly recommend you learn and master (and I mean master) the Ambitious Riser move because it will make things...

    Ray Kosby or Jerry Andrus

    I've got a 30 buck gift certificate and I can't decide whether to get Ray Kosby's Impossible Card Magic or Jerry Andrus' A Lifetime of Magic Vol. 1 DVD. Any thoughts?

    Thoughts on the Bottom Deal with Jason England

    I just picked this up. Thought I'd share my opinions on it. First and foremost, Jason England is a phenomenal teacher. He is incredibly articulate, very clear both in his explanations and his movements. I've been working on my bottom deal for a while now and this had definitely been worth...

    Jerry Andrus: The Man, the Mind, and the Magic

    There's a documentary coming out about Jerry Andrus from SkepticalMedia.com. It looks really cool. It's got James Randi and Jamy Ian Swiss to name a few. I was checking out some videos of Andrus earlier. This guy is the man, bottom line. Check it out: http://www.skepticalmedia.com/trailer.html

    New Artists

    Just a few questions about the new faces we've been seeing at T11. First of all, are we going to see artist profiles for Dan Hauss, Jason England, B. Smith, or Doug McKenzie? Second, will we be seeing anything more from B. Smith or McKenzie, like any new tricks? Anything you can tip...

    Dan White - JD?

    Is it just me or does the Jack of Diamonds kind of resemble Dan White in the Split Spades deck? It would make sense, seeing as he works for Blaine...

    Tabled Multiple Shift

    I'm looking for a good multiple shift that happens on a table. Any good ones I should look into?

    Jason England - Tables

    So, I'm just putting this out there to the T11 crew. I love that Jason England is working with T11, at least for that one 1-on-1 video. So this is more or less a request or a desperate wish that you (the royal you) will continue working with England. I, for one, would absolutely be...

    Thoughts on Collateral by DM

    Collateral is hands-down my favorite thing from Daniel Madison. Most of the time when I buy an e-book or something containing several effects, it's because I want one or two specific effects that sound interesting. Or it's the case that all of the effects, while good, are impractical or are...

    Q1, 2, and 3

    Can someone please lay out for me what the differences are between Q1, 2, and 3 playing cards are, how I can figure it out, and where to get the best kind? Just pretend like you're describing it to a total idiot. Thanks.

    eXile by Mathieu Bich

    MY DVD just arrived today, so I thought I'd post my initial thoughts. It's a pretty short DVD, clocking in around 15 minutes (give or take). This is not to say that it's bereft of information, but rather to imply that the effect is pretty simple once you're set up. Almost everything that is...

    Redline by Dan Hauss

    This is a really great little quick trick from Dan Hauss. I'm generally not a gimmick kind of guy, just because I don't like to have my pockets overloaded, but I always carry lip balm with me, so this worked out great. I've adapted it to use with my Burt's Bees lip balm. The gimmick was...

    Criss Angel's Believe

    I'll be perfectly honest here. I'm not a huge fan of Angel, but I went to the website for his new Believe show in Vegas, and it looks damn skippy. That may or may not be exclusively credited to Cirque du Soleil, but suffice to say it looks pretty badass. It looks like something out of a Tim...

    eXile FAQs + Answers

    What's the impromptu-ness factor? We talking minor setup a la angle zero, or full blown TNR gimmick goodness? Or is this something I could do with just a marker and a quarter and no clothes while stranded on an island with cannibals to persuade them not to eat me? Can the principle be...

    Daniel Garcia's "Impromptu Raven"

    Does anyone know where I can find this vanish other than in Magic Magazine? He mentions it in his Blueprints notes and I've got a hankering to learn it.

    Maverick Playing Cards

    Does anyone know anything about these? The back design is nice, but how do they feel?

    Arrco vs. Arrco

    Are there any perceivable differences betweem Arrco Streamline Playing Cards and Arrco U.S. Reg. Playing Cards other than the back design? Are there any handling differences, that is to say do the two use a different stock, finish, etc?

    Advanced Sleights 1-on-1's

    Since I now know T11 is listening (who am I kidding, of course you listen!), I'd like to request some more advanced 1-on-1's. Here is what I'd like to see (if I got my way, that is): One-hand Top Palm Erdnase Diagonal Palm The Hermann Pass Gambler's Cop Half-Pass Multiple Strip-Out...
