    SvenPad, Smoke 2.0 and Odyssey questions

    I went to a local magic shop to purchase SvenPad and Smoke 2.0, and ordered Odyssey (they don't carry Size 7 so they need to specially order it for me, which will arrive in a week or two). It was a magical place, by the way, so I was rather thrilled when I learnt about the existence of that...

    Bicycle Rider Back. Blue Seal? Gold Seal? Black Seal?

    Thank you all for the response and it was really heartening to know there's so much history to it! I have tried the Black Seal and the Gold Seal, apparently the Gold Seal seems to handle better (probably placebo but I don't know...it is all in the mind, aye). But for tricks whereby I need a...

    All the different "Expert at the Card Table" decks?

    I recently purchased an "Expert at the Card Table" deck hoping to collect it. After researching online and after looking at what I have, I realised that there were many versions. The one I have, the seller claimed that only 1,500 were produced, did not specify which company did it. I didn't open...

    Bicycle Rider Back. Blue Seal? Gold Seal? Black Seal?

    So I just bought some Rider Back and I was about to open when I realised that mine were black seal. I went to check another deck of Rider Back which I bought a few months ago and they were Gold Seal. I read online about the Gold and Blue seal but there were very little to no information about...

    What are your opener effects?

    Colour change. I always open with a colour change. They would most often go, "oh! Hmmm..." Then I dive into a random act depending on how I feel that day.

    Do you need to perform magic or know magic tricks to be a magician?

    "I am...the son of Earl Portia, the world's greatest sorcerer and spell caster! Fifth consort of the sixteenth queen of the underworld and jester of the last court. I am...Argus Portia!" To be honest, I only perform for my friends and colleagues. I also use it to break ice when conversing with...

    How much are Split Spades?

    I haven't opened up the Black ones yet, I just got them as a backup in case. As I previously lent my colleagues my Black Monarch and they destroyed it by leaving it on a wet surface so my cards were damaged. I am never lending them anything again! How are they different? In terms of the finish?

    How much are Split Spades?

    I've got that. They are very similar to the Split Spades. I got both the Black and Gold Gators. The design is appealing too!

    How much are Split Spades?

    I have the Black Lions and Knight as well. Knight's finish is somehow similar to Split Spades, the only thing is the card quality. Whereby Split Spades if you do a card spring and stuff, it doesn't bend as much and retain its shape. Whereas the Knight playing cards actually have a bend from the...

    How much are Split Spades?

    So I have been going on a hunt for Split Spades as I came across the Silver Split Spades and fell in love with it. Its finish, its design and everything. But as I went around to look for them, I'm not sure if I am going to end up paying more than a usual deck of playing cards. How much are the...

    Culling Cards..Is it worth it to learn?

    I bought David's Cull and Kostya Kimlat's RoadRunner Cull. I learnt both and picked the one that suits me best and think of ways I can use the other. Learning the cull is very useful for me, as I can control the cards. But I spoke to some of the local magicians and they said that utility moves...

    Le Paul's Pass (Bluff Pass)

    So for the sharper audience, they are actually able to see that it is not a stack of cards...I practiced in front of the mirror and also in front of my "test audience" to see if they can spot. Some were able to, some weren't. Does anyone have any tips for me? Further inquiries allows them to...

    Small hands card tricks...

    Hi everyone, my name is Jun and I'm Asian. So I recently picked up magic because I like learning new things and I'm always amazed how people could do so much with just a deck of cards, so card tricks have always been my all time favourite because you can perform them anywhere. So I have small...
