I apologize. I made a mistake. Fantasio does not sell striped canes. Not that I know of. I just looked up a brand called "JL Magic" that sells plastic striped ones.

That is just because certain companies and stores just....well...don't carry them. I don't think they have a specific reason. I can name a plethora of decks that theory11 doesn't carry, but I'm not surprised that they don't.

I didn't find out that it was out of print until recently. You can occasionally find copies on eBay, Amazon, and other magic forums being sold by forum members.

I have two canes, a plastic one from Korea and an aluminum one from China. I don't work with canes too much, so in terms of quality, I don't have brands I can compare to. All I can say is that my two canes get the job done. I've always heard good things about Fantasio canes (and they do have...

A bit off topic, but I have visited Japan a few times and love it there. The Japanese style of magic is extraordinary and I hope you get many chances to attend their shows, conventions, and other events. I've been to magic stores and bars in Osaka and Tokyo. I hope that you get to indulge in all...

Your card handling is very visually pleasing.

All of these suggestions are great. Look into a side steal, then placing the card under the top card.

Biddle Trick!

Perform Warp One with the guy's credit card and I'm pretty sure the spell will be broken almost instantaneously.

I like it man. Very unique handling of the cards.

Dai Vernon once said, ".....take one thing and do it better than any one else!" (Exact words unknown, but I think I'm pretty close). Personally I believe this to be true. However, you must find that "one thing" first. As a beginner, I encourage you to study a PLETHORA of material!!! When I...

Thanks for that Josh!

They are good. The finish is more of a smooth finish rather than a linen one. The stock is stiffer than a deck of Bicycles. Decks do vary though.

Two Card Monte, Ambitious Card (with the card to mouth ending), and Biddle Trick all are classics that come to mind.

Every single sleight has its pros and cons. The only thing I can say is, no sleight is "better." Learn as many that interests you and you will learn that you will use them under the right situations. For example, I may perform routine A. If for a few people, I may use the Tilt. If surrounded...

I have the same issue! The windows of my fingers are as wide as can be. I seldom get caught because I use different angles. Also, misdirection will obviously help. I may have to shift my pinky at times so that the "meat" of it meets the "meat" of my ring finger. It won't look straight because of...

I haven't performed professionally in a long time as well. I may not be able to give you any insight, but I just want to tell you that your website looks great. I've recently read one of Etienne Pradier's books on card magic where he gives some stories from his professional career. The only tip...

Oh and I can't believe I forgot, but you probably already know him, Mathiew Bich. Another performer is Antoine Leroux. In Taiwan, a magician by the name of Yif is half French and half Taiwanese. He speaks fluent French and Mandarin Chinese and grew up in France, but I believe he currently lives...

Étienne Pradier is a French magician who currently lives in England. I've read one of his books and besides detailing some of his working pieces, he also gives valuable insight on mistakes he's made throughout his career.

I usually use a mirror and sometimes a camera for knacky stuff. I bought Sean Yang's three way mirror which is wonderful. Definitely check that out, as it can give you multiple angles for when you practice. The main problem I found when practicing in front of a mirror is that I'm looking at my...
