    Ellusionist: Magic Beyond Belief
    Yeah, yeah, it’s a week after Halloween. With all the Arcane craziness last week, the below video features the results of a top secret project that Brad Christian, Jason Brumbalow (I think), David Mitchell, Aaron Fisher and Lee Asher have been working on. It’s going to be a MONSTER. Ch...

    This is partly news because it’s rare to hear XCM creator De’vo vom Schattenreich give an audio interview. And it’s with Justin Robert Young, the prolific workhorse behind iTricks and the hardest working guy in the magic media. But ...

    Ellusionist: Magic Beyond Belief Performance Tip: Recovering from a Mistake. If you can’t fess up to them when you drop the ball, you can’t expect them to believe you when you are triumphant. Honesty will go a long way in your entire routine and I’ve had audiences completely warm up to me after I’ve made a mistake and owned up to it. They trusted me more and were blown away by the next effect due to their increased trust.

    Most of you know that Jason Brumbalow, general manager of Ellusionist, is a crazy-sick designer and artist. Anyone who has look at an Arcane deck knows exactly how good he is. The secret is getting out to the design world: JBone was featured in an interview by James Donaldson of the Paragon Muse...

    Ellusionist: Magic Beyond Belief Performance TIP: At the pinnacle of your effect, your timing and patter are the key to the effect hitting as hard as possible. It is the peak that the whole trick hinges. Talk at the wrong moment and you can lose your spectators interest at the moment of magic. If your timing isn't right- the suspense coud be kept too long. Learn when to step in and keep the flow, but also learn when to just... stop.

    I own Crash Course 2; the lesson is taught, but as Eugene said it's great to have a refresher sometimes. I just watched it over and I guess I was just more focused on learning the material than learning how to present myself and watch my timing.

    yeah.. i used to do sequencial tricks as routine..
    but my audience usually end up forgetting what i did..
    i forgot about timing and letting your audience absorb what you did first..

    Ellusionist: Magic Beyond Belief Performance TIP: Your voice commands a presence words cannot reach. Tone is entirely different from word usage. If you were trying to impress a someone, would you be quiet and reserved, or would you be an out going, friendly person? In magic performance we are trying to make a relationship. Voice yourself and don't be reserved. Controlling your tone properly helps make that connection.

    Thanks Reed, I've unloaded most of everything so far, lol. Still a few things I can try and see how they work out.

    I don't know if it's just hind-sight bias, but I would have rolled with it as a cloning duck transporter. What's the "out" for that?

    The only Thunderbird better than the one created by Lee Asher rolled off the line in ‘57. Part of the thrill of releasing the Arcane deck was to offer an Arcane version of one of the greatest, power-packed four-ace productions. ...

    thunderbird cant be that good, i cant do it but i can see how he does it, and it seems to me that you would have trouble with a group of people if some were short and some were tall, ive never actually done it tho, so i dont have any experience with it

    As with most everything, you have to watch your angles. You might think you know how it's done, but Asher's notes are solid and apply to more than just the move. They also cover how to avoid getting caught. With TBird, the risks are definitely worth the payoff.

    The Joker has been busy indeed over the last few days, but she has finally decided to heap some niceties on those of you who braved the largest, biggest release of a custom deck yet. These winners were randomly chosen from customers who ordered Arcane decks during the first two days of availability...

    A little perspective is in order: When Ellusionist first released the Black Tiger, the first edition of it sold out in four days. That print run was about 5,000. When Ellusionist released the Shadow Masters deck, we sold about 3,000 in a 12-hour period...

    I received my cards today. 6 white decks and 6 black decks and one steel clip. These are beautiful.

    2 white decks, two black decks.
    The card clip was scratched when I got it though :-(
    And it scratched my black box even though I took the time to get the clip a little more wide-set (so that it wouldn't scratch the box).
    These are still phenomenal. I would have ordered more if I had the money. You guys are amazing, thanks for your hard work!

    What a humbling day for us at Ellusionist. We poured five years of work into the Arcane deck. We teased it like crazy over the last few months across the Internet. We inspected it PERSONALLY as it came out of the presses at the U.S. Playing Card Co...

    Are there going to be Arcane steel card clips? If so, what would they sell for?
    And what are the discount prices if you get three decks vs. one? (how much would each sell for with the 3 deck discount)
