    Dont say it as a fact, as it is not true. This is opinion based so there is no right answer really. But for me, the Invisible deck gimmicked cant be beat. I understand where you are coming from, I use to be like that too. It depends on your situation. If you are in the street then sure, go ahead...

    I did not say gaffs are more convenient for me. Actually, I love sleight of hand! Im a move monkey and like to use sleight of hand over gaffs when possible if it accomplishes the same reaction with the same effect. I just like using gaffs that make you look great, leave spectators with...

    we all have different views but I think it would be out of the line to say " no this is the right way, or no this isn't true" I was simply stating my opinion

    I agree with anthony here, MAGIC IN THE SPECTATORS HANDS WILL ALWAYS BE MORE POWERFUL period. If u do a a regular ACR with you doing it all its amazing, but if you do the version in FAX by Loki Kross, now that is magic, as far as gaffs, the list never ends,

    I have, and he asked me if I was using two of the same card. Why not sign it? I usually give them away so they can have a souvenir to show their friends or whatever. BUT im 100% on magic in the spectators hands is always better. I am not saying I like gaffs over sleights, about 80% of my...

    Talk about "assuming" You are assuming he'd win? Do you have actual statistics to back up that claim? I agree that it is about performance but that is not my point at all.

    Everyone knows that magic that happens with spectator involvement and or with the magic taking place in their hands is much more powerful than it not. If u performed hand sandwich, and instead of doing i in their hand, do it under a phone or whatever, its no where near as good...

    I disagree, gimmick make your magic much more powerful and open a new realm of possibilities, sleight of hand can only go so far...

    I wouldn't jump to the conclusion that I am wrong as this is opinion based. Gaffs do make things cleaner and easier, if you could eliminate a half pass, two passes, angle jog, etc (an example) with one gaff, I would do it. And who wants to carry a stacked deck for that just carry the invisible...

    Wood Frames for close up pads?

    Hi everyone! So I have seen people with a close up mat with a nice wooden frame around it. How can I go about making one of these? Where do I buy that specific type of wood like that and cut it so size so perfectly? Thanks!

    I disagree. Involvement is very important and reactions will always be increased. There is no good sleight of hand invisible deck that is better than the gaffed one. The gaffed one is clean as hell, and the box can be in their hands, its so much better. Gaffs are better in certain situations...

    Magic in the spectators hands

    i think if ur doing 4 tricks at least one is fine, but two would be great too!

    Palming

    For me personally, what I did is palmed 6-10 cards at a time... always... for practice though of course! If I had to palm 4 cards in a routine, I palmed eight! Also I held cards in palm if I was watching TV throughout an entire show but taking breaks during commercials... This helped me...

    How the heck is this done

    hey! so it seems your a beginner at card magic! or, magic in general. Anyway, we do not reveal tricks on the forums. But the method is indeed very simple, notice how the card is not signed, also you need to know your f*****... that's all I can say :)

    Well at least for me, I want my magic to be as good as possible, not for me, for them. I owe it to them to give them the best show I can, and I won't go for lower quality things..

    Still, I think that you should make it as best as possible. The better and cleaner the magic is, the more people will remember you, for sure. Even if they have not seen both versions, they are more likely to remember you if your quality of magic was fantastic rather than good.

    I use to think in that sense too. But no matter what anyone says, magic in the spectators hands is always always always the most powerful magic, period. Gaffs are good, I use to be a purist, only sleights. But the invisible deck with the gaffed deck is the best. Impromptu versions can't touch...

    Yes, the psy-force forces the spectator to think of the jack of spades in a very fair manner!
