Concerning Sleight of Hand

Hi there,

I am interested in learning impromptu magic. I wanna seem magical and be able to use whatever is around me to do magic. I actually prefer to do card magic, but I wanna learn how to do some impromptu stuff. Is there a holy grail of impromptu magic that everyone likes. I am looking for something that is the Card College of impromptu magic. I know palming allows you to make things vanish from your hands and I have seen some things such as sleeving when searching the internet. Any thoughts?

I think you could learn a lot from Greg Wilson's Off the Cuff and on the Spot dvds. These videos give you loads of material that you can do with just about anything in a casual environment.

Rocco is the king of sleeving in my opinion, it's a very versatile technique. I prefer to diversify methods I use though. People already know that magicians use their sleeves, so it's a loosing battle if that's all you know.

The closest thing to the card college of impromptu magic would be Encyclopedia Of Impromptu Magic by Martin Gardner. But its fairly old. You could look for Life Savers by Michael Weber.

I had no idea Greg Wilson was the son of Mark Wilson. I had Mark Wilson's complete course in Magic and learned a lot from it. Great book.

You're referring to Gregory Wilson, but he's not Mark's son. Coincidentally to make things confusing Mark Wilson does have a son named Greg.
