I don't think they had a paperback that early. It sounds like a reprint.

If they are just a left handed pack of cards then they probably aren't that rare. Uncut sheets of cards are always fun to have.

Some decks will NEVER fan. Some decks will fan after 10 years. I'm almost sure that it is the deck that is the problem, not you or your technique. Dollar store decks will never fan the same way as a brand new deck with an air cushion finish.

Do you have pictures of any of these?

I made this one: https://www.instagram.com/p/k0uwMmJFen/?taken-by=joshuakburch&hl=en It is based off of this antique one in the middle. The one's on the outside are from Ellusionist: https://www.instagram.com/p/ejbGR0pFeW/?taken-by=joshuakburch&hl=en This is one of my favorites. It is also...

I'm the president of a local club in my area. We have a different theme each meeting (Money Magic, Impromptu magic, Rope magic ect.) Sometimes we will make a magic gimmick or perform for each other. We have a magic competition every year.

It may be unique, or it may be one of the many color changing decks out there. It might be easiest to see a video of the effect.

I'm going for the cuteness factor: https://www.instagram.com/p/BGj1PRGJFYm/?taken-by=joshuakburch&hl=en

It could be Brainwave but I thought of Red Hot Mama or The Chicago Opener.

Yeah, I should probably stop calling it an Erdnase Bottom. I made some mistakes while I was leaning and they have fossilized :/ I can buckle with out my thumb, I don't think you need to be able to. In some ways the pressure from the thumb can help at first. This still happens for me from...

Another one for me that always works on camera but never in real life is flap cards. It is very rare when a flap card is made in such a way that it completely hides the secret for a lay audience.

Yeah, the pass is crazy problematic. There are versions I don't mind but the classic pass is not great in my opinion. The effect is supposed to be that the magician doesn't do anything and the order of the cards are changed. Unfortunately, the magician has to do something to make it work. The...

The grip is the most important part, if you are not holding the deck correctly than it makes the move impossible to do. Make sure you can hold the deck with the base of your thumb and middle finger. This gives your third finger room to manipulate the bottom card. I don't "Buckle" in the genral...

MY WIFE HATES MAGIC. We have been happily married for over 5 years. She doesn't hate that I love magic, in fact she is very supportive. She just doesn't care about it. This seemed like a negative at first, she never tried to figure out my magic, and was never too enthused by what I did. When I...

It's not much different than an hour gig. The advice above is great. Really, time seems to go by super fast at these types of gigs. Odds are, they will make announcements, sing the birthday song and so on. I always like to be ready with something I can do on stage or a platform on the odd...

The super heroes are not in view the whole time but they are in marked envelopes, and I can see that was my problem. The question in the spectators mind was "How did he get me to pick the one he wanted me to?" If I can convince them that I don't know which envelope holds which hero the question...

This was hilarious!

I do a routine that pits super heroes against each other and uses the PATEO force. My justification is that the best way to finish a show would be huge cage match with the most mighty heroes of all time. I introduced this into my act a couple years ago. It was very entertaining. I usually make...

I don't know if there really is such a thing as practicing too much, if you are balanced in the way you practice. If your practice creates bad habits then it probably means that you are practicing incorrectly. If your hands are a little sore it's kinda normal. You are in essence doing a micro...
