YouTube is a good source... if you know what you are doing and learning from stuff outside of it. Not everything is on YouTube, and a lot of stuff on there is absolute garbage. Yes, there are exceptions, but just knowing a few tricks and sleights wont get you far if you aren't taught how to use...

There are so many controls. Here are some more popular ones. Marlos tilt Bluff pass Side steal Herrmann pass Palm and replace it Clip shift Spread cull Hindu shuffle controls Overhangs shuffle controls Ruffle shuffle controls. Get the royal road, expert card technique, and/or card control...

Books aren't exactly expensive. You could build a full beginner library with more stuff then you'll need for 20 bucks, and that will keep you occupied for a long long time! Here is a full list of cheap books you can buy...

So similar to these, but with different markings? http://www.penguinmagic.com/p/S17982 Or something like these, but with a different design? https://www.scamstuff.com/products/card-target-throwing-star-kit Maybe something in between?

Probably 3 - 4 months just to get the mechanics fluid, but expect to take over a year. The only way you can get a good pass is through performance. It isn't a move you can perfect in front of a mirror, as it is huge on timing, audience control, and misdirection. A year to get it down fluidly in...

"Some men just want to watch the world burn" - Alfred Pennyworth, The Dark Knight Rises It's true though. Some people hate for the sake of hating. Some people also think that their ideas are 100% right, and anyone who says otherwise is a dumb piece of crap. Why I see this more in Magicians...

Thanks guys. I'll think about it. The only problem is that I have been a part of 2 or 3 theatre classes (the largest one being a semester long thing that my English Class ended up doing with the school's Drama/Theater class. I really liked working stuff backstage and props and stuff (even got...

What David said is very true. If you keep your thumb on top of the deck and push down, you can have the break be less visible from the front. Also, keep a normal break, or a slightly larger than normal break until it is time to do the move. Then you can insert the pinky all the way, or as far...

Marlo in Spades The Royal Road! The Card College Light Series.

Thanks! It's helped with audience control because it kind of has helped me figure out how I should move, where I should move, how fast, to make it look most natural. It isn't directly useful, But it definitely helps a bit.

I think the Magic for Mental patients is great!

Thanks! I plan to major and physics, and my cousin (who is a physics major) was talking to me about it. Turns out Magic and branches off of Magic are used A LOT in Physics. Plus, I'm fairly certain knowing physics will help me with a few thing in magic, specifically audience controls and larger...

One might be more comfortable than the other. I mean, I am comfortable with Marlo's Tilt, but I prefer a Bluff Pass because I am more comfortable with it. Also, I just realized he meant index finger not the card's index >.< Which hand do you mean it for @Lord Magic? If it's the top hand, I...

Only problem is so much of that overlaps. Yeah, but freal though, if you put "Visually Stunning", "Impromptu", "Organic", "Diabolical", and a quote from a relatively well known magician, along with some dramatic music, it sells, even if it doesn't really fit any of those categories. It is...

.... yeah I ain't beating anything with mine lol If I was less busy, I may have entered but I'm out for this one guys. Just wanted ot take a moment and say that all the entries thus far have been spectacular!

I don't think I understand... the index is on both ends of a card? And Whatever feels more comfortable for you.

Take these guys' advice. Then, You can do this: Start with an opener - a hard hitting trick that doesn't take up too much time Put some tweeners in - longer, more entertaining tricks with a similar patter. Connect them all together with similar patter. Then end with a powerful closer. A hard...

Well I would just make up the story, but I can help you with the timing. Your gonna do the "move" asap. Then you are going to tell uour story. Then bring out the pen, do the writing on yourself. Then do a little bit more patter and put the pen away. Make the x vanish off your hand and then tell...

Hold up. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think the Judo Flip is yours to teach...? Did you contact @FrancoPascali about it?
