Do you know how it's done already? Or are you asking for the source of this move? I don't think it's an actual named move. It looks like a collection of moves, as far as I can see.

Imagine a scenario when performing, where you realise in a split second, that because of slight problems while performing the particular effect, you can either: a) End up flashing the coin and hence everybody'll definitely know that that is where the coin was all this time. b) push your pinky...

Why do the methods even exist then?

It explicitly teaches the METHOD to 2 magic tricks. It also explicitly teaches the METHOD to cold reading. It ALSO teaches explicitly the METHOD to hypnotise people. The book explicitly teaches the METHOD to retain information for much, much longer. Even if you don't use it to do magic (you...

Ah, I just got what you mean (I think, yet I want to reiterate it)... You're not saying that sleights are the tools to achieve the art of magic (because as you said, the 'art' of magic exists within the performance), INSTEAD magic itself is the tool to achieve the art. You're saying that 'Magic...

It isn't a question, but beautifully disturbing. The huge number of magicians who do cardistry (frequently or just here and there between magic) might ''feel me'' on this one, because it is a sad confession. I started Magic first and I'm going to remain a 'magician' forever (or at least, for a...

An impromptui number-force works like, and feels like, real magic. I just wanted to say that depending on the effect in question and how you design it, you could force numbers using a deck and then have the spectator +and an entire audience) forget that cards were involved at all. For...

The NYSM vibes are so strong on this one!

PAUSE! I'll give you two replies. Reply 2 is far more difficult, but also far superior. Here it goes. REPLY 1:- Ask a question, the spectator will look up unless they are hellbent on burning your hands. If so, you've probably already given yourself away. A good strategy at this point is to...

I don't like the extreme bending, so this is how my riffle shuffle usually looks. It's not evident here but this method is cleaner, less noisy, there's less bending and moreover, pretty much more elegant.

Hey, it's alright. It took me a month to get the Charlier Cut down [insert facepalm] BUT only a week to learn it with the other hand. It's like everything else in the world. Once your hands get 'conditioned', it won't exactly be ultra-eaay, but definitely better and easier. It appears to me...

Oomph!

This... Is... Wow.

Here's my entry... Hope you like it! :)

To know whether playing cards would be acceptable in a culture or not, we need to understand and be thorough with the general cultures in the world. Primarily, though there are lots of countries (obviously) there are only a fixed number of GENERAL cultures. By this I mean (examples --> ) that...

I'd walk up to people. But I was assuming that if I have enough funds to have a world tour of magic, I'd also have a reputation already, so me walking up to people wouldn't raise walls. Otherwise I'd try to attract attention (in a non-attention seeker way). I'd do a few springs and cuts in...

Not that I am Peter Mckinnon or anything, and I know that it's a bad carpenter who blames his tools, but... What IF the deck is ugly [insert the first and sixt letters of the English alphabet] ?

I saw the video. Mitchell Kettlewell won't help (I mean, HE could probably help, but not for the purposws of my 'hint' :D ). So Tamariz will help you. Or Asi Wind, as said.

Magic Mush---no wait. I'd carry a few coins, paper, pen, a handkerchief, rubberbands and 3 decks of cards (2 duplicate). Keeping in mind that of course, other than the decks and the pen, the other props would be available pretty much everywhere. Mostly. I'd perform visual magic mostly, like...

It sounds like you've already got 'started' per se. Well, pick up Tricks Of The Mind by Derren Brown.
