I think the real money with cardistry is flourishy tricks as long as the tricks are done through a flourish. If you really knew nothing about cards but what the faces and backs look like you wouldn't care if someone could do some fancy cuts or shuffles with the cards. And if I don't know...

your right, peter harrison's torn and restored card effect has a lot of prestage work if you perform it exactly as he explains, but u can always use your wallet or shoe then it takes seconds of set up or if you're sly make up a routine to do the set up during the performance. but overall i...

Don't use magic to pick up chicks, it makes it far too predictable of the outcome and you will throw the girls into the mental crowd and you will respect the individual less because you see them as somebody that is not special. Trust me, I used to use magic for picking up chicks.

The way i see for the "exposure" line isn't really exposure, because (i don't own the video but) you need to know more than what is in the Theory11 video to effectively pull it off. That and Chris himself credits Kenner in the description.

isn't this an old annemann effect? i could swear i heard of something like this a long long time ago. But then again the guy does say he has copyrights to it.

Richard Turner has a method, and it's exactly what you think. It takes a little pre stage work. I've never used it, but if I did I'm sure it would work beautifully.

I honestly hate the force but it does get the deed done. I also think if you see it on video you believe it is far too obvious. And people are saying never use the same force technique more than once, I don't agree with that fully it depends on what force your using. Gregory Wilson uses the...

I'm not sure if they have a world record for the largest display, but if they did they guy would definitely have a chance. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Fxt60FI7Ag

I would have to agree with just about all of what you just posted. My favorite deck is a tally-ho deck. And after a while you will most definitely see that they last maybe as much as twice as long as normal bikes and they don't warp as easily.

I hear Princess in my Wallet by Joshua Jay is one hell of an effect, and it's good for a group because you use multiple cards. I've been looking for but can't find it anywhere.

Harry Lorayne Harry Lorayne said sometime in the 80s i believe that exposure is not a problem because it pushes magicians to create other superior methods to accomplish certain circumstances. Which when the double lift is exposed, there's really only one way to do it. There are different...

Thanks for educating me a little bit Shane, means a lot. I have a magic shop near my house and I will take your advice by handling it before I buy it.

Hey guys, how are the reactions with riot for real people? and does the gimmick stay in the deck during the whole performance or do u take it in and out.

wow thanks man, now I'm changing my mind on it. But i would still like to know the name, so anyone else please hook a fellow magician up.

who can tell me what the name of this box is? I watched another dude do a GREAT routine with it. any help will do wonders thanks in advance. http://club.magicians.com/video/fox-interview-01

gambling demos sandwich effects not sure if this is actually a plot... sorry its it not. robbery idea torn and restored

When does theory come into the equation? You have 2 hours for cardistry, and 2 hours for flourishes. Sometimes it's best to curl up with a good book knowing you'll never use any of the material, but you know that there is something great hidden within a sleight. Just a thought peace.

Hofzinser Look at all the many Hofzinser card plots there are in this world. I'd say all those different people made that certain effect using the Hofzinser plot as an idea. Some people say if you make 3 changes it's yours. That's what you did using the dream card as an influence or idea.

I actually have some of Sankey's work and I've never seen it. But I'll look into it

What do you guys think are some good effects surrounding the Vernon substitute transfer? I just saw it in Sleights of Haggis.
