Theory11 is….

Well, it’s all over.

The hype is done.

We can finally answer the question “What is Theory11?”

An LLC.  A magic store. Production Company. Online Community.

Wait, haven’t I heard of something like this before…it was called…ummmm…

Ellusionist.

However, Theory11 is like Ellusionist…fixed. Magicians have complained for years about different things that Ellusionist have done “wrong” such as major censorship in the forums, little or no crediting, producing products that are not “new”, among other things.

Theory11 is run by Jonathan Bayme, a name some of you may realize as the former president of ellusionist. Not a coincidence. Bayme seems to be smart enough to leave the company, use the same basis, and run with all the good things while fixing the problems. Another thing that gives the site credibility is the names involved. Lee Asher, Aaron Fisher, Chris Kenner, and to some extent Dan and Dave allow the site more support from older magicians who were or are against the idea of “online” magic.

I think over time the site will grow and become its own entity, among other things. Hopefully it is eventually not even compared to Ellusionist at all.

Well, at least we can all get some sleep without having our minds wander to the question, “What is Theory11?”

If you want to learn more, visit www.theory11.com anytime you would like. I’m on the forums there, and be sure to look for my reviews for the new Guardians Deck, as well as Wayne Houchin’s  new release Distortion in the coming weeks.

A revolution in magic? Maybe not yet, but it sure does look like a bunch of fun.
