What are your favorite types of effects? e.g. Transposition, gambling demonstration, mates finding, ace assembly. I sometimes have trouble figuring out what type of effect I want to do when making an effect. I have a whole switch sequence I combined with some moves I know, and I think its pretty...

What are, in your opinion, some of the hardest coin sleights?

Anyone know any good sources for a practical chop cup routine? I haven't seen many around that use a regular chop cup. Paul harris's two routines in AoA both use odd props.

I am receiving a gift from my aunt for finishing my first college application. And I am very interested in handmucking and how it applies to card magic, as well as other gambling moves in general. So I am unsure whether to purchase Richard Turner's The Cheat Special Edition, or Tony Giorgio's...

Has anyone with revolutionary card technique or just the action palm booklet played around with some of these? I think they can be very efficient and deceptive I already have found uses for a few. Anyone have any thoughts they can discuss here?

I have seen a few mentions of a grip called the shifted grip for false dealing mainly, which i had not previously heard of. does anyone know what source this comes from? Or how it stacks up against other grips?

Can anyone tell me where the person in the following video learned the sleights he did? mainly the mucks. I'm guessing from some of the comments that it was Richard Turner, but i'm just attempting to confirm. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fe-n9joepac

Does anyone use card mucking actively in his or her card magic, outside of gambling demos? I feel as though mucking can be used beneficially in card magic, just like most switches are used as utility moves. Has anyone applied this before? or at least, what are your thoughts on it? I know some...

I have been looking over the Table of Contents for this on another site, and I noticed that several different grips are taught in the book, namely the Marlo Master Grip. If one were to purchase this, would all the teaching be in reference to the Marlo Master Grip or some of the other grips...

In a video i saw on Scarne (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PRS35gyhbqw) showed him doing the "Table Shift" which was a shift/false cut. Can this technique be learned anywhere? I know he discusses it in his book "Scarne on Cards" but he does not actually teach a method for it just...

Can anyone tell me the difference? because they seem to me to be the same thing.

Does anyone know any good sources for riffle stacking? I know it is included in Card College Vol. 4, but there is only one section in there on it and i'm not sure how in depth that section is.

I always seem to have a clicking sound when i steal the card during my sidesteal. I have been trying to reduce it but the only way i can find is to slow the motion down, but the speed of it really can't be sacrificed. Is one supposed to talk over it to try and muffle it? In most cases...

Are there any books or DVDs devoted to sponge balls. Cause i see one here and there now and then in a book, but I have a set of four at my house and really have no routines to use with them. I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction.

Somebody PM me please, i have been working on the clipshift for a few days now. I know that doesn't seem like much, but i have read the booklet and watched the teaching many times and one of the basic parts of the move just never works for me.

Does Anyone know where i can find this move? I have been working on the original move out of "Close-up Card Magic" but i have heard that Marlo's version is superior in quite a few respects. Does anyone know i few easy to find places where this is printed? Also, can it be done with multiple...

Is the Undercover Switch taught in the Paper Engine the same as the one taught by Kostya on D&D?

This is a site i found while i was looking for variations on the Bluff Pass, and boy did i find them. http://archive.denisbehr.de/archive/route/route.php?url=10 Its like a database for card principles, sleights, and plots. It will give you a list of the different variations, who created it...

In essence this is a what should i buy thread, but allow me to explain the situation first. Over the past few weeks, i have been learning some new moves from various sources, and have been interested in getting andthensome, although i do not have the rest of the trilogy. I was originally...

I have been working on a routine for a little while now. But i am looking for a different opener, but i really only care about the ending of the routine. I just want to end cleanly, with two sets of a card left out of the deck (i.e. The four nines and the four 8s). I am preferably looking for...
