theory11 — Magic Tricks & the World's Finest Playing Cards

Old Trick

Nothing is ever old

I'm sorry but this is clearly not true. Playing cards have been around since the 9th century and I'm willing to bet card magic has been around almost as long. Clearly there are tricks that are old.

That's not to say those old tricks are bad. Some of the older stuff is some of the best stuff (which is why it's been passed down long enough to survive in print today)

Yups totally I agree with you sir
 
What is your ultimate goal here? What are you looking for?

There's hundreds (probably thousands) of "classic" tricks. Most of what's on the market now is just a rehash of an older, classic trick anyway.

Why is it that you want a "classic" trick? Are you just wanting new material and you're looking for recommendations?
