A memory palace is helpful, that's how I go about memorizing decks. Geoff Williams created a book for the Aronson stack that uses mnemonics. It's called "The Aronson Stack for Everybody", it could help you to memorize the Aronson stack. The methods Tamariz sugests for memorization aren't that...

Latch by G. Clark is pretty awesome. Also Jay Sankey has a bunch of effects with keys.

Houdini Shackles, or cuffs could do this. They add the intrigue that they are old fashioned cuffs and the impossibility of a separating bar between the hands. Thumb cuffs also allow this type of escape. The beauty with both of these is that they can be examined by participants and you can even...

@Lindel and @Josh Mickelson , with all of the mentioned clubs there are young guys and old guys. I'd love to introduce you to the magic community!

Hey guys! Utah has a really active magic community! There are 2 SAM assemblies, an IBM club as well as private clubs in Ogden and in Cache Valley. This last year we had our first of what may become a yearly convention in Salt Lake. The Intermountain Magicians Association (IBM 193) meets at 7...

This is Sugar Rush from Brian Platt

It's the same. Imagine the difference between Amazon Prime, Hulu Plus and Netflix. Different content, different pricing options, different user experience, similar idea. This was funny because Jay Sankey has been calling his site a Netflix for magicians ever since that's what I called it back...

If you are looking for the book I think you might be out of luck

It would be neat to do this with the Marketplace here on Theory11. I'm not sure how it would work but it's an interesting idea.

The anti-faro can only be done a couple times with a brand new deck, it won't work after about an hour of the deck being out of the box according to Jeremy.

I assume with his higher recognizably to lay people he has been focusing on his performing career and doesn't necessarily want his books to be out there extremely available to the lay public. That said you can get the Red Missor videos here on Dan and Dave's site Art of Magic. They are...

Okay, there are a few possible solutions for something like this. Oh, and it's not really a force :/ It just looks and feels like one! Ed Marlo has a bunch of work on this principle. Dani Daortiz has a ton of work on this as well and believe it or not the crux of this effect is actually taught...

There's no one method for this and most of it requires quite a bit of subtlety to pull off. One possible solution would be Cog by Ben Seward. This is a difficult to get a hold of book. Really, if your description of the effect is correct than you are looking at years and years of practice to get...

Yep, Jay does basically this same thing. The format for Ellusionist is a little bit better. I subbed to Jays a couple years ago, it's a great concept. I'm currently subbed to Ellusionist's. There are a bunch of similarities but the magic is completely different. They are both a pretty good...

Hey, my bed has always been a great table and catch all for dropped cards!

I rarely am asked if it is a trick deck. The only time that this happens is when I do certain mathematical card tricks. I have had a few scenarios where I'll do something self working or hands off and they immediate feel the need to look through the deck. I don't think that the back design...

I have 2 sets of Anagrams that I use all the time. One for super heroes and the other for Disney movies. This is my go to on the spot magic. Actually, a few weeks ago I was driving and was pulled over (I was driving 12 over the speed limit). I pulled out my wallet, it had a playing card in one...

Just checked it out. There are over 20 side steals taught in the book. TherE are a bunch of multiple shifts too.

Tyler mentioned some of my favorites. To add to the list there is Craig Petty's Keymaster. It's a moving hole effect with keys. Jay Sankey has a DVD called 3 ring circus, it's all about magic with key rings. Jeff Prace has an awesome effect called Keylicious that I love! Greg Wilson also has an...

Love this book! I also love this change. When I perform the change the card ends up on the table horizontally. My angles are better if I have the back of my hand to the audience. The best ditch in my opinion is to lap the card. This isn't always possible so I usually transfer the deck from the...
