This whole ebook revolves around the one ahead principle so you can bet your life savings that each routine requires at least two answers so you can be ahead. Knowing that each effect requires a one ahead, you can probably get a jist of how Luke and Jose’s effects are done. Peter’s effect is...

I love the book, very well written and I like Fraser as a magician. The effects are awesome and really can look absolutely impossible. It’s amazing what illusions you can appear to create in the audiences' mind with the power of subtle language and clever wording. The downsides for me are that...

I saw a lot of magicians doing the artwork prediction, when he choses some spectator to colour a draw of a person with wite clothes, and they have the prediction and even the same clothes that the person colored on the draw, someone knows how they do it??

Hello magic community, I was wondering if anyone can put me on a good path to magic. I started really getting into magic when I was in high school. I ended up loving it and then continued to learn and practice more as I went to undergrad. After college I started to not practice as much and...

A couple of years ago, I was in London and saw a group of magicians who were travelling around and performing. Before this, I had never had much experience of magic, but I was captivated by what I saw. This inspired me to try my hand at magic. Originally, I tried flourishes, flicks and springs...

Hey, haven’t been on here for a while. I’m currently reading The Dance by Brad Henderson. He keeps mentioning that the reader should read the classics on cold reading (I mean cold reading techniques, tarot, palm reading, etc.) but he never mentions what these must-reads are. Any help? Thanks!

Hi, I'm new to theory11. I've recently been getting into David Blaine for the first time, and his newer specials astound me. Particularly in the aspect of ditching the need to psychically force cards and just having spectators think of one. For a specific example: in his 2012 special, Real or...

How many of you have had this happen? You ask someone to think of a number from one to a thousand... you even give them the opportunity to change it. You write down a number on a piece of paper and give it to them. You ask them to open it and it was the exact number they were thinking of...

I have just seen Chris Ramsey's latest video (16th April 2018) where he causes a person to hear voices without any obvious source. I understand the importance of secrscy but if anyone could point me towards any books where I can learn this, I would be very grateful. So far I have been unable to...

Hey everyone, Ok so my arsenal of card tricks is decent at about 10. Time to change it up a little......I also do rubber band effects in between a new deck switch, you know, normal beginner magician effects but none the less still amazing to me. Ok, so I believe the effect is called...

Mentalism is pretty powerful. Sometimes classics like Book Tests and ESP cards are enough to mesmerize the crowd. Today's world we are seeing such great ideas flowing with technology for Modern Mentalism. I just saw this and it looks like a little bit of both...

I was watching a video of a magician and he made a good point about always keeping in his case and invisible deck in his pocket for a safety net in the respect that if he messed up on a trick, you can always just turn it right into a mentalism trick with that and keep rolling. I thought that was...
