throw away what you think you know about magic this is the real stuff. looks like it a membership website. They are giving a free 6 month membership every 50 likes.

...Any more info? There doesn't seem to be much info on their Facebook page. And from the looks of their website, they're not even going to be up for another 60 days!

No demos, no prominent magicians on board, and no apparent way to get the membership other than liking the page. Seems fishy to me.

It literally just started. And I believe its run by xavior spade. I will be looking into it. the membership will be free, though unlimited access is $15. You know edward boswell? the guy who created rapture and works with theory11? he has liked the page.

Oh, wow. You're right. It just started today.
That makes much more sense.

It's going to be interesting to see it when the site's up and running.

Yea I just figured I would help them out over here + let you guys know the latest things coming out.

Really curious to see how this turns out. Will it be a program to "teach" sleight of hand to beginners? Or is it another site to sell products like Blue Crown, t11, etc?

[John B.]

they teach stuff, some free videos and some for the paid memberships only.

So kind of like how most current "magic" sites are? Do you know if they'll have a "team" of artists or will they just kind of recruit current known magicians to contribute?

I guess that will depend on how successful they become.  A site making next to nothing can't afford to hire talent outside of their small roster of employees/partners, and a larger, more successful site would practically rely near-exclusively on hired talent.
