Not in the slightest. I'm pretty much 100 percent sure your DL is not flawless. My DL is not flawless. Very few people can do the DL deceptively. A double card needs to look like a single card and if people who have never seen a DL more than a few times know that you are picking up more than one...

Well I have never said DVD's are a bad thing. I simply said some DVD's are good--in terms of what you will sub-consciously take out from them, and it's content. I think it will be a life long argument of Books Vs DVD's. Some will think DVD's, some will think Books. Who knows, with technology...

There's a one handed double taught on Daryl's Encyclopedia of cards sleights. Not too flashy either.

Isn't there too much immitation around these days? What I'm saying is you need to develop your own, and a book will let you develop much faster and better into something that other people are not. A book makes it easier to change routines, to change patter, and to make the trick fit in with you...

If you learn from DVD's you are basically copying the style, patter and timing from the bloke you just saw doing the trick. Books make you think more about the magic you perform and let's the trick develop until it fits you. Only watching DVD's makes you a clone. I'm not saying all DVD's are...

No one knows who Erdnase really is. Some think it is E. S. Andrews because he was a known card cheat at around the time this book was published and SW Erdnase backwards is E S Andrews. But, his writing style is so different to how the book is written people think it was written by Andrews then...

If you want to learn (or have the time to learn) different ways of mucking cards then these can be effective. Spread the pack and let them slide one card out, then do say a McMillan Switch to turn over the card. Loads of different table switches out there I'm pretty sure most will do the job nicely.

That's really not new. Have a look up on sleeving, it can look much much better than that.

I noticed he stops talking when the change happened, but I didn't want to get involved, seems like he's just having a laugh to me. Even if he is a pro, there is no way this change can happen without gimmicks. Especially as at the end he is only holding one card, and if he uses double side...

Well I can think of two ways to do that DMT force and one is a one-way deck. If it's not the other way I have in mind, which is simply a DL, then I'm pretty sure it's just imaginery.

No don't do loops for kids. Put the cards down, don't use them with 9 year olds they just won't be interested. LOTS of colors is good. Sponge balls are an absolute must. Rope is a very good one. You don't need to stick with just magic. Play games with them, great for a time filler and...

Bottom Slip Force (if thats it's real name) Underspread force (requires some stacking though, easy in overhand shuffle) MC Spread Double Lift (can be used as a force, leaves you with a DL) I'm sure there's other. My minds blank at the minute

Well don't just get a trick, get a whole book with hundreds of sleights and even more tricks for less than 10 dollars. Bobo's Modern Coin Magic. http://www.amazon.com/Modern-Coin-Magic-J-Bobo/dp/0486242587 Seriously is THE best way to get into coin magic.

Bottom slip force sounds like the one I use. I don't like the cut seeper force really and the criss-cross isn't good in all situations. The riffle force where you force the bottom card. I think I know the one you mean but the name escapes me at the minute. Where you bevel the deck and ask the...

I use the cull force a lot. I think that's what it's called anyway, the most fairest force in my opinion. Let them touch any card, turn the pack over and there it is. But, it depends what situation your in. I think a lot of people will be saying how you can't judge different card forces...

MWCCM is another must-read book. I can never decide what book is the best I own but RRTCM, MWCCM, Expert Card Technique and Card College have got to be my favourites. Not mentioning AOA, By forces Unseen and Expert at the Card Table being another set of must-reads. Scarne on Card tricks...

RRTCM, Card College and Expert Card Technique are my three absolute favourites. Definate must-reads. tazer: are you saying Expert at the Card Table is a perfect book for beginners?? Expert Card Technique aswell? Very very not for beginners.

None of them. My favourite cards are either Bicycle Vintage Fan backs or the Tangent backs. Both handle better, look normal, and are a hell of a lot cheaper. The custom decks are much thicker than usual and may take some getting used to. Also, try going through 2 of these decks a week and...

What a stupid thing to say. Of course there is no documented evidence. It's just plainly obvious. Exposure is probably 1% of the problem with magic today, people really should stop kicking up such a fuss about it. Then, hopefully, these spotty little oiks revealing everyone's tricks might not...

I don't know if there are any others, probably because it's so hard! Ok I take the comment about him performing it badly back. It's been ages since I saw the video. His performance was good but he has just got annoying habits. Like rubbing the table, and stuff he does with his hands. Ahh it's...
