We use technology to make magic happen - literally. This requires a constant desire to push the envelope and create things and experiences that delight and amaze people - be that on the web, on iOS, and in live production shows. The core of theory11 is an eCommerce website, sort of like iTunes for magic tricks - where anyone can learn how to do crazy awesome, badass magic tricks. But our reach and operations extend far beyond our website, with frequent work on stage and on screen.
We created the first major magic trick on iOS called Rising Card. The card that a spectator is merely thinking of visually
rises
out of a digital deck of cards on the phone - without using Siri, voice recognition, or the like. The app has been a consistent best-seller for 8+ years.We developed a tech-driven magic prediction effect used in David Copperfield's live production show, during which audience members receive an email - but are told not to open it until later in the show. When they later open the email, it contains a prediction with information that would be impossible to know earlier in the show when it was received. This effect has been performed over 500,000 times to live audiences in Las Vegas.
We developed The Mystery Box with JJ Abrams - a mysterious box made of 100 year old reclaimed wood, locked with an iron combination lock. When people purchase the box, we don't tell them what is inside, nor the combination of how to open it. The box comes with a letter from JJ that explains the story behind the box, and a challenge if they choose to open it (or not). The box has since been featured in Wired, TED, Entertainment Weekly, and beyond.
