Hey guys, I just had an interesting thought just now. As you will know, Erdnase is difficult enough to read as it is due to the general syntax within, the odd use of an archaic term, and the general formality of the tone. It's quite a task even for me, as a native speaker of English, and whilst...

Hey guys, I just had an idea tonight that I need some help with. What I'm looking for is this: a way to force the spectator to cut to a predetermined number of cards in the deck between 15 and 37. Doesn't matter how it's done, but it needs to be surefire, and I need to be able to know that they...

Hey all, I'm looking to talk over/clarify a move with anyone conversant with it. It's Roger Klause's The Soft Double. If anyone uses it/is otherwise familiar with it, please let me know via PM.

Hey guys, I just found out I"m heading overseas in a week or two and during my trip I'll be stopping off in Hong Kong. Would someone kindly tell me if/where there are any good magic shops? I did do a search, but I didn't really find specific enough information. Forgive me for my lack of...

Hey guys, I had a thought today (a surprise in itself), and it was prompted by Theory11's 1-on-1 Blind. As it stands I haven't really thought about it in much detail, I just wanted to put some thoughts out there. I'm not passing judgment, I don't have a strong opinion on this yet, but yeah. I...

Hey guys. Just letting people know that if you ordered TA from The Astonishment Project, it should be shipped now or will be very soon. There's no real point to this thread, just wanted to let people know in case they haven't realised/wanted to know (since the whole tihng's been incredibly hush...

Hey all, I've been talking magic with friends a fair bit recently and I thought I'd share something which has a bit of relevance to Theory11. This will be a long-ish post, if you can't be bothered to read it, that's fine, don't read on, it won't be succint. But I would firstly like to say I...

Hey all. I don't post my videos here very much at all, in fact I think this will be the first. But I've been working on this routine for a while now, gotten some good advice and changed things rather recently, so I wanted more opinions. Feel free to be as critical as you want. The editing is...

What's up all, My first flourishing video ever just got put up, celebrating one year of cardistry! I know it's not the most original thing you'll ever see, but that's fine by me. Have a look, hope you enjoy. Flourishing credits are on the YouTube page, feel free to comment/post criticism, etc...

Hi all, I'm looking for some information on the history of two sleights published by Marlo. The first is Edward Marlo's Unit Upjog Addition, first published in Marlo's Magazine, Volume 1 (1975). This is now hard to find a copy of, so I was wondering if anyone was aware of where else this...

So what is with us magicians and being so bloody self-conscious and egotistical about our image? I was watching a YouTube magic video a while ago, as I do. In fact it was the video of someone who had asked for advice, a member of this forum (who shall go unnamed and to the best of my ability...

Hey guys, I recently saw one of Jason England's posts where he outlines the history of the Strike Second Deal... This inspired me to ask two questions here: Firstly, does anyone have any suggestions on notable magic books which are still available (if such exist on any sort of regular basis) -...

So guys, I stumbled across this the other week, and I thought it was very true *pointed glare*. Obviously this applies not merely to Darwin Ortiz's Strong Magic but many other books that have been described by various people as Gems, Masterpieces and Compulsory Reading, most of whom I have a...

Question. Is it just me or is it really hard to find reviews of magic books? It's something that's been bothering me for a while. I haven't been able to find reviews on even the more popular ones, and as for the obscure ones, don't even try looking. So, uhh... Anyone know of where I could find...

Hey guys, As you may have seen, the new 1-on-1 this week is from Dangerous: Mystique, Breach. I wanted to post one of these topics for once. Thoughts? Disappointed it's from Dangerous?

Hey guys... I wanted to show you something I've been working on, and admittedly am rather proud of. It's a crime fiction short story I've been writing involving a magician, hence my posting it here, though it is much more than a story about any single crime. The concept of this short story has...

Hey guys, a few random questions, starting with, as the title suggests, Derren Brown's Plerophoria effect... a) Purely out of interest, I read that there was a slightly difference between the Pure Effect and the Derren Brown Lecture DVD descriptions of this effect, and I was wondering if anyone...

I guess I should post this... magicman1212 and I have a battle that just opened: http://media.theory11.com/battles/battle.php?id=550 Leave a comment if you vote :)

Hey guys, I just wanted your thoughts on something... So you've vanished the deck... It was part of an effect, the two in my repertoire that use deck vanishes are Aces (d+m) and Zamiel's Rose (Derren Brown). ..What now? Case 1) It's a closer. Deck vanishes are obviously natural closers. But...
