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...

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...

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...

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...

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.

"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...

"I'm...A SORCERER!"

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?

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!

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...

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...

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...

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...

I just tell them, "magic..." and grin.

Do y'all have any sort of movies to recommend that's about magicians or magic? I don't mean those wizards and sorcerers kind of movies but something like The Prestige or Now You See Me.

Thanks for the video, it's encouraging to know. Meanwhile, I'll work on trying to overcome certain angling problems as suggested by Jake and Zack. Also trying to stretch the fingers with the exercises recommended by Frankie and learn some self-working card tricks by Tyler. I'd think these would...

Thank you so much, it's very encouraging to know! Also, I've just bought some Cardistry 101 by Andrei and a couple of tricks (Triumph and Snap Change) from Chris and Michael. I'm practicing it in front of the mirror just to get the hand of things. What kind of other tricks would you recommend...

Curiosity would have to try 9 times to kill a cat.

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...
