OFFICIAL: What do you guys think? Voice your opinion.

the Site is very visual and i like the music idea. But a very important thing is t11 staff need to find away so that people don't put the tricks on you tube, etc.
It really makes me mad when i spend my hard earned $$$$ on a trick and then see someone giving it away and giving it away poorly at that.

That's why I'm reluctant to post my stuff and give it up to the public because some 8 year old kid will come by and be like "Me s00 gud at liek magic, whatch my tirck I MAdE up!!". Nothing annyos me more than that...nothing...

Aside from that, there may be more surprises you guys don't know about yet. So sign up for the newsletter and definitely keep checking back daily. Who knows when something could magically pop up?

I like the site---easy to navigate and loads of material for a site only open 24 hours.

A suggestion for anyone who cares (I didn't read all 13+ pages of this thread so if someone else has already recommended this, sorry_:

I'd like to see a standard portion on the various trick's pages so we'd be able to make a few fast assessments about the trick and THEN continue reading. If you go to the product questions forums on various websites, they're filled with practically the SAME questions about every dvd "is it impromptu?," "can i borrow the deck," " is a gimmick required," etc...

I think it'd be helpful if at the start of the page, there was a brief synopsis that's the same fo all of the DVDs....For Example:

Effect: Stigmata
DVD Run Time: __ minutes
Impromptu?: Yes
If not impromptu, estimated set-up time: ___ min
Can be done with borrow objects: Yes
Angles: 360
Level of Difficulty: Beginner (Intermediate, Advanced, etc...)
General "cons": Here you could put things that may make some not interested, i.e. "requires sleeves"

Those are just examples...but any small section that had the same standard information would be helpful.
 
Great site guys, and an awesome job advertising yourself to the magic community!

However, I think that the forums are getting clogged up with pointless/repeative topics, and i think that some moderation is required.

Other than that, keep up the good work!

Everything doesn't have to be so black and white---"no moderators" vs "fully-active mod-team." There's a difference in having moderators...and having overly-active moderators. Having a few people to clean up double-posts and posts that BLATENTLY are doubles of a currently active thread is one thing....having people tell you "this thread wasn't needed...there was a topic on it back in 1996. do some searching" is another.

I know a big difference in E's forums and the Magic Cafe is that you don't get told to "use the search feature" nearly as much on the Magic Cafe. Why? Probably because, even though a topic may have been discussed in the past, new members may have comments to contributed....and theories change over time.

Plus, the moderators need not be online 24/7. A few random people who could play "clean up" whenever time allows during their day wouldn't hurt...as long as they didn't get overly-happy with their new positions.

This is what's great about theory11. This is giving one website a chance to correct all of the little problematic qualities of the other major magic websites while combining their strengths.
 
I think it's a great idea, but that idea isn't a reality yet. I will have to wait and see how this whole Theory 11 thing is going to turn out before I can form my oppinion. Pretty graphic and flashy advertising that my computer was too slow for me to watch making me walk all the way up to the library to see it just to find out I have to come back next and watch it doesn't win me over that quickly. You guys gotta come up with something HUGE to keep this company going. Why get Guardians when I can go over to Ellusionist and get some Black Tigers? Or Ghosts? Or Vipers? In order to win me over, you guys gotta show me you guys mean buisiness. I dont mean to rag on you guys or sound harsh but it's true. You guys better be getting something HUGE out on the market if you want to compete with big dog Ellusionist.

You guys have a great concept and idea and some of the best in the buissness, but that doesn't mean anything until you use that tallent.

You can have the best magic tricks in the world and still make it suck. It takes true tallent and skill to make something of this much hype and something this big work and CONTINUE working. I wish you guys the best.

We appreciate your input tremendously. Have you taken a look at the Beginners Video yet? Our talent is, most certainly, utilized in it. How about some of our products, or even around here in the forums and media section?

I think we've only begun to use the talent we have at T11. Much, much more to come. Thanks again for your thoughts! Hope to see you around here more often. :)

I love the new site. you will obviously be better than Ellusionist and Penguin. the tricks you have already beat most of all the tricks the ellusionist or penguin magic would ever have. they are visual, and to the point.

but is it just me, or do you kinda get an ellusionist vibe while browsing through the forums and the main site?

you have gathered and excellent team of magicians.
no offense to the rest of the creative team for theory 11, but W:H is my favourite:D

Yes, I seen some of the vids and you have some of the best in the biz. I didn't mean to come off harsh or anything. All's I's was sayzin was that if you want to compete with the guys who have been doing this since like 2002 then you guys better bring out the big guns. Because I know sure as hell they are.

Just a little constructive criticism and I know it's weird getting that form a 14 year old but hey, I'm a professional, haha. Anyways, you guys sure got the gunz, lets see you use them. :). Take it easy...

I think that moderators who will basically clean up pointless topics, move threads to the appropriate section and basically keep people in line are needed soon.
THey don't have to be full active and super-strict on everything, but just keep the place nice and tidy.

Wayne Houchin and the Buck twins aren't the "big guns"?
