It's something to do with the packaging, how long it was on the shelf, humidity, etc. If you break in your deck, you can very easily get rid of it.

I don't have them, but I've heard (and seen) that the Split Spades have SOOOO MUCH going on in them that you find new things every time.

Lemme fix that: All magician "secrets" are published somewhere except for those that the creators chose not to publish, thus nullifying them from the "biggest effect list" (in almost all cases), as well as the one's that are only taught in person. Also those that we keep in the secret...

I mean all magician "secrets" are published somewhere. We aren't exactly guarding the stuff in an underground temple. "If you want to hide something, put it in a book". It's like a textbook. No one actively goes and buys a textbook about a subject unless they want to. There are only a few...

I hope so!

WOAH

"Nope, don't have ______" / "Don't have a _____" Pens, coins, cards, napkins, a phone, etc. When you want to start a routine with borrowed objects, yet they have less things than a dude who was lost in the woods for 18 years after he got mugged.

See, even there, you need to have some form of patter as to why your taking out a mint out, why your trying to make it float, etc.

IT/ITR + PK Touch = Magneto? I use a lot of superhero type patters. They just fit well.

Yeah, those would work for sure. But those are more bar/party tricks, not magic tricks for the bar necessarily. I mean, it's not really a trick at all. It's just cool.

Just FYI guys, you might want to send each other a PM. Especially if you're giving private info like social media handles or emails.

It's really hard to do effects without patter and still engage an audience thoroughly. However, if you still want to do this, I suggest looking into coin and ring transfers, something like Odyssey, Reflex or other ring magic that is highly visual. Some fire effects are good too. Honestly, just...

There's a lot of stuff on today's market that is actually very useful, especially when paired with the old stuff. A routine I've been forming: Odyssey + Reflex + a Transfer + a Rope Penetration Plus, it's easy to make a patter out of.

No problem! Search for it here on the forums, it comes up every now and then.

If I remember correctly (used a search to verify... Standard/Poker Size (the ones most people use): 2.5 inches by 3.5 inches "Jumbo"/Large Size: 3.5 in by 5 in? Maybe 3.5 by 5.25 in? Regardless they are pretty big. Bridge Size: 2.25 in by 3.5 in (the same height as standard cards, but the width...

No problem, I have the same issue. I gave up trying to make it mentalism and made it a good performance instead (still working on it lol). Let me just put it this way: If it doesn't come out as serious as David Blaine immediately, it's not gonna. Here's what I would do: Take the effects, strip...

Mentalism doesn't have to be serious. Make it as funny as you want :) As for material, anything in Mark Wilson's Complete course and other classics Cups and Balls, Sponge balls, linking rings, rope, etc. All that still works (especially sponge balls! Study them more!) Also, check out old...

Sawing a lady in half "When the safety of your audience matters, but not too much"

I think you're supposed to message him on Insta or send him an email or something? Not entirely sure though.

Also check out the "Isabella's Star" series by Peter Turner Also, check older books, like the one's by Annemann. Apply your own patter to the effects. Any card trick can be about astrology if you use your patter right.
