Guys, to be a Theory 11 artist you HAVE to have a LOT of experience. Not only with magic itself, but with performing it, and creating it and mastering and perfecting your creations.

All of the T11 artists have years of experience. All of the great Chris Kenner 1 on 1s were created years ago and perfected over the years.

You might be able to execute the pass flawlessly, you might be able to execute perfect double lifts every time. That does not qualify you as an artist. It qualifies you as a magician. There is a big difference between artists and magicians. Chris Kenner, Aaron Fisher, Lee Asher. Those are artists. Then you see people like Jordan Lapping. Amazing magicians, yet not artists.

And maybe you've invented "a new theory in magic" that impresses people. Take a few years, perfect it, work with it, and develop it more. And then let that lead to other thing. (By this I don't mean your version of the pass or your amazing ACR.) In 8-10 years, if you're still developing your magic and creating new things, maybe you'll be qualified as an artist.

Guys, I'll be blunt when I say this, and its basically what Eugene said in another thread, we all suck. Compared to the artists on this site, we suck. Of course with some exceptions, most of us on here are kids. And if you say "oh well, I'm 15" THATS A KID. I don't think anyone under 20 should even be considered being an artist. Yes, Andrei is 19, but I think everyone will agree with me when I say that he's a complete freak of nature, and can do pretty much anything with a deck of cards. None of you guys should be thinking about becoming an artists, you should be thinking about getting experience, getting out there and performing.

I vote for BrianationX,I read some of his stuff and he would change magic in general.He also says that he has a lot of understanding and had some pretty good sandwich effects on his youtube.He said they were the crappy ones but they were innovative.specially the one about the vortex, I would pay 2.50$ to learn it. I have never seen that sleight before.
