I used to think standard bikes were the way to go. I asked a similar question a couple of weeks ago, and I learned a lot from the responses. I purchased my first deck of monarchs a few days ago and was astonished with the feel. I absolutely enjoy working with them, and in my opinion, they are...

If I were you, I would sit down and go through your list on paper. Decide which are flashy and which are not. Use one to lead into the other, following the "laws" of drama. This approach may well lead you to wonderful routines. Just my opinion, but it works for me. Book

Yes, a demonstration, I am not at all planning on hustling cards.

hello all, I have been working on my card table artifice for a couple months now. I was wondering which "shuffles " and "cuts" you more experienced card people prefer. Also, should I focus more on second, center, or bottom? Many thanks for your advice, Book

Thank you for the tip! Book

What would you consider your best performance? What would you consider your worst performance? How did these experiences shape you as a magician?

Excellent! I very much look forward to it.

Will you be filming your stage show? I would love to see it, but I'm pretty sure you are a thousand miles from me lol!

Multiplying sponge balls is my favorite for "magic in the spectators hands" or a DL where the card they are given is not the card they were shown. I am currently putting the final touches on a tiny theater show with a vaudeville feel, as well as learning Vernon's slow motion card vanish. I...

What cards do you use most often?

hello all, I've been working exclusively with standard bikes for twenty some years. I use them because they are readily available, extremely affordable, and absolutely recognizable. My question is two fold..... 1) are the more expensive decks of noticeably higher quality? 2) does the...
