    How Long Does a Deck Last?

    It all depends on a few things: How clean your hands are. How gentle you are with the deck. How often you use them. What you use them for What kind of tricks/sleights you use. ETC. For me, I have naturally sweaty hands so after about 2-3 hours the deck is garbage and I toss it out haha But...

    I LOOPY PULL.

    Its a great idea and super easy to perform! Instruction could have been a bit clearer but its free so I cannot complain too much about that haha. Check it out if you already perform iPhone magic or just want a great impromptu piece using borrowed items!

    Perfect Square or Double Cross?

    Very fair assessments my friends. The honest truth is it all both fill a gap in my standup show AND add something to my strolling set depending on which one I get. I guess the question is which do I care more about? I think I may go for PS just because I definitely need to add something to my...

    Perfect Square or Double Cross?

    Gotcha. Yeah the issue is I could benefit from both! Lol I really am trying to decide which I would rather have. I’m leaning more towards PS because it adds an entire new effect to my act, whereas DC adds an extra segment to an act I already have created. BUT! I could also perform it on its own...

    Which is better honest, extream burn 2.0 or prophet?

    Question about DoubleCross

    There is a psychological thing that happens when someone is trying to split their attention. If you grab their hands and look them in they eye and ask a question, I guarantee they wont feel a thing. Pickpockets get away with this same idea when stealing your watch. You would think you notice it...

    Is exposure a significant problem in magic?

    There is a reason that you will also find magic exposed for beginners on YT. Not many professionals go to YT to learn magic. A for ethics of exposure, imo if you are exposing something someone else created or something you do not have permission to expose then you are definately not allowed to...

    Looking for Tips to Improve

    To add on to this, consider why you are doing the trick at all. You should be using the cards as a story telling device to move the story or plot forward rather than just doing a trick. That is why people heckle because if it is just a trick then it is just something to figure out. But if you...

    How far can one go in card magic without paying for any tricks or tutorials?

    Thanks for the love @Al e Cat Dabra :) To answer the OP. Honestly you will learn the most from several areas. If you just focus on one then you will be missing out on other aspects. For example, one might learn a sleight or trick on YouTube for free, then learn about performance theory and how...

    Could you guys give me opinion on this card control ?

    Looks fine to me. Looks like a modified dribble pass. If your question is “if it is original or not?” I would have to see what you are doing. If your question is “does it look good?” Then id day yeah it looks great. If it works for you in performance then keep doing it.

    How does one become/ do magic for money?

    I am sending you a PM! :) there are TONS of materials online that teach you how to do magic professionally. My biggest suggestion is to not only learn about the business side of magic, but to learn about business in general. Maybe take a college course in business? It is a lot more work than...
