Roundtable Discussion - Calen Morelli + Blake Vogt
It's been a whirlwind month of production behind the scenes here at theory11. Partly due to completion of Genesis v2, but also following an action packed shoot in Las Vegas with Calen Morelli and Blake Vogt.
Unless you've been living under a rock these past few months, you're likely already familiar with Calen via Dresscode, Transit, and his 365 Days of Magic. We're also joined this evening by the fresh mind of Blake Vogt. Blake is a close friend of Calen, based in Indiana and currently enrolled at Purdue University. You'll be seeing a lot of him in the weeks ahead. ;)
Tonight we'll be engaging in an interactive discussion. That is, you'll be asking the questions. Yes, you! Submit your questions for Calen and Blake in this forum thread on or before 11:00pm EST tonight. We'll select the best of the best questions, and we'll answer 'em in a podcast to be posted late this evening.
Ask anything you desire - with questions across the spectrum of the creative process to Dresscode to performing to what's up with Blake's upcoming T&R. Did I just say that out loud? Oops! You have 2 hours and 30 minutes to get your questions in. Don't miss this opportunity to gain valuable advice and counsel from two of magic's brightest young creators.
One random member who submits a question this evening will take home Dresscode and Transit, shipped on the house. And listen closely to the podcast... we just may have a surprise guest...
UPDATE :: The podcast has officially been posted! Listen in here and be sure to stay tuned all the way to the end for a special surprise guest!// jonathan.bayme

The special guest is probably Andrei. My question for Calen is if he is going to release a DVD for the 365 project effects.
The most common thought(s):
Number Between 1 and 10- Seven
Color- Red; Blue
Playing Card- Ace of Spades; Queen of Hearts
Tool- Hammer
Vegetable- Carrot

Who were your biggest inspirations in magic, and how have you applied your own style to creating your own tricks and a whole new genre in this very fine craft?

Do you create effects while playing around with things or do you know what you want to do and then you think about the method?
How did you come up with the idea of the 365 days project? - #7
how is your TNR effect different then the others already released?

What is the main thing that inspired you to create Calen? And how did you make sure the effects had impact on the spectators to get nice reactions?

How hard is it to make a new effect every day for a year? Does it take a lot of commitment and brain power? How did you come up with the effect Dresscode?
