    Red & Green National Decks at B&N

    Beginner to Card Techniques

    Expert at the card table is a very hard to read book, and isn't the one you should start out with. Check out the Royal Road. It is much easier, and for beginners. Not easy, but significantly easier than Erdnase. You need to work through moves a few times before you get them. And if it is super...

    An other way to use magic

    Imo, I think it's kinda messed up to use magic in a... idk what word I should use, but I think you know what I mean. Magic shouldn't be used as a social manipulation device. Bust it out to amp up a conversation? Fine. Use it to entertain people? Fine. But using it to become your social gateway...

    Beginner saying hi!

    I'm sure you'll find it fun! Mark Wilson really organized it to be straightforward to get through. Because there are multiple sections about completely different topics, I would skim through them, find which one interests you, and then read through a section. Try it out, see how you like it...

    Beginner to Card Techniques

    The best things you want right now are books. You can get some fairly cheap ones that will help you. Here is a list I made a while back, look through the "cards" section. I would start with the Royal Road...

    Coins for coin magic

    Are they too small or too big? I'm assuming they are too small. You can always go with the Grifters as Tyler Mentioned, or get custom Challenge coins made. You could also use poker chips, bottle caps, or buy some larger value currency. You could maybe get some large coins (like U.S. Half...

    Uses for an ITR besides levitation?

    I mean the main purpose for them is levitation after all.

    Uses for an ITR besides levitation?

    Move something a very little bit. The slightest bit of movement on a can 30 ft away could probably get a better reaction than making the can jump all the way back. Make stuff disappear. Could you imagine a coin vanish where you simply close your hand and when you open it, it's gone completely...

    Best Books for making Gaff Cards?

    For learning how to split a card quickly and cleanly, you can get Blake Vogt's Split Sessions for 5 bucks here at the market place. There are also companies that can print gaff cards for you. I forgotthe name of the one I saw lol Some people say that you can print onto a blank card. I've never...

    Yigal mesika tarantula and pen pro

    They are 2 different things. One is an "moving" ITR. The other is "Static" IT. Both have their pros and cons. And don't buy the cheap stuff. Buy Loops or Mesika Elastics (the Invisible thread used in loops). Nextm if you are willing to sit through and make your own loops, it is significantly...

    Opening a performance

    I would say that, even before busting out a deck of cards, the best thing to do is to do a trick that doesn't use a deck of cards. It is more natural. I either do some impromptu ring or bill magic, maybe some mentalism. If I have it on me, I will perform Odyssey, and pair that with Reflex...

    Exercising can improve...sleights?

    Well sometimes it will help. Like for example, there are a few moves I had to do where I had to bend my fingers in some weird ways. I didn't do any straight up exercises, but I did stretch out and bend my fingers and exercise them a bit to loosen them up so that I could practice the move and get...

    Hypocrisy?

    Ok well sorry.... All I was saying is that it wasn't the best example. Also, you have to take into account the fact that when 2 of the same effects are published at the same time in the major market, chances are the 2 creators bounced ideas back and forth between each other (and it was probably...

    Hypocrisy?

    I think some effects are sold for the ideas behind them. And some effects genuinely are remixes of older effects that are actually better variations of them. There is a difference between copying an effect and bringing back an effect from an old book no one can read and introducing new theory...

    Spreading cards to a break

    (Assuming you hold the deck in the left hand) You should be thumbing over the cards with the left hand, and just lightly pulling the cards with the right hand. The right hand is really just there to keep the cards from falling. And if it is a normal spread, your fingers should already naturally...
