Saturday Night Contest - theory11 roundtable : Andrei Jikh
- Thread starter j.bayme
- Start date
Sorry if I didn't answer all of the questions in the given time but....to answer a few:
Favorite Deck: Red Tally Ho Circle Back
Upcoming Project Details: DVD with Theory11, tons of never before seen moves, I might release some of the content listing for it in the future.
Hardest move for me: Huron's Firefly (I'm sorry Huron), some of my own unreleased work, Bone's Eye Cut, Crossed Winged King Packet Switch Cobras (no joke)
1on1: I will be releasing 1on1's pretty soon, I have a few personal creations that I think people will enjoy doing (never before seen)
Theory11 Artist: I was invited at the time of The'me.
Who I am: a person...a performer...a student...an innovator...a visionary.
Advice: ...besides what I have already gave...never forget about the little things in life and don't get lost into your own work. Develop a good likeable personality and enjoy life, little tips like these go a long way in establishing first impressions and overall self-imagery. Don't forget to work out and eat healthy...hygiene is key.
Card In Fan Development: I asked my friend one day..."Wouldn't it be cool if I can make this card go into that fan?"....he said..."Dude...you can!!"
I reply..."that's impossible man..." I tried it..and on my second try I nailed it...from that point on, it was always easy.
For creators, moves come a bit more naturally than to those who learn them...I don't know how it works but something about the little subtleties that you pick up in the creation process that can't be explained in words.
Magic: I do magic for audiences, for friends...just for fun and no magic is not dead. My mainstream is Cardistry...the non magical manipulation of playing cards, designed to impress through dexterity and style rather than by fooling people.
Future goals: To prove that Cardistry has yet to make it's mark in the entertainment world and the potential of it...even among a large stage for thousands of people is possible. I'm coming closer to that goal than I have ever been.
Middle name: Chippendale...no just kidding I don't have one.
Change: If I could change one thing about the world of cardistry and magic is I would like to bring them together. It's been a battle between magicians and pioneers of cardistry to get worldwide recognition of Cardistry as it's own artform thus resulting in bitter relations between card manipulators and magicians. One day, both magic and cardistry will be in the majority of people's arsenal.
Time Travel: If I could go back and do it all over again...I don't think I would...too much time, anger, and frustration to get to where I am today.
I think that about wraps it up! I hope I answered these in a way that tie in to other things and explain what I think about the industry as a whole. In addition, I hope you guys learned a little bit more about myself and what I do. Thank you to everyone who listened and participated.

MADD I have been practising this. I need to make my Boomerang card higher. But I pretty much have the Boomerang to Smear Fan down. I would love to see you go over this in lots of detail.

I need help, I can't download anything from Theory11 from links such as the one above. I update and update and update my Quicktime, yet the only way I can save the files is by buing Quicktime Pro 7 it says.

Thanks for the link, I'm gonna save these and sell them in the black market to beginner magicians. I'll burn them on CDs and store them next to the stolen livers area. Hopefully that's ok...

Andrei Jikh: Cirque du Soleil
In this roundtable Andrei Jikh mentions a video of him on stage in front of 800 people.
Anyone have an answer as to what happened to that video?
