    Bottom dealing

    The two forces that make the deck slip out are: 1) gravity, if the grip is too weak 2) the small displacement at the pressure points, if the grip is too tight

    how do you use card shuffles without damaging cards

    i suggest to double check the faro technique, not because of the cards, but because of learning it the proper way. Then what cards are you using? If they are really creased you might be a little harsh to them. Last note: cards aren't forever. Some flourish, like springs or anything requires...

    Is it REALLY $395?

    33$ per deck, 12 times. Before getting lured in compulsive shopping, i suggest you to double think it. Not that i'm aware of whatever reason why you'd like to own such amount of playing cards of that brand (and there are not many differences if not aestethics), but i advice to consider aside...

    Bottom deal

    Don't prepare in advance, or you will be stuck with the top deal (but that can be done, and there's a different technique, see the LePaul Bottom Deal). When you need to bottom deal you push the top card, and as your right hand approaches the deck you can buckle the bottom card. So when you...

    Mechanic-Daniel Madison/Foundations-Jason England

    Daniel Madison shouldn't even be allowed to publish anything. Get Jason's stuff. PS: remember that in learning there's no such thing as copy-paste a technique. Be aware of self improvement through personalization, but without getting off the road.

    Scarne's Aces

    A casual recording while practising, i'll probably try to figure out something aside from cutting aces, but for now it's what i've got !

    Card Trick Ideas

    Mathematical effects. Then you prove the Heisenberg Uncertainty relation for energy and time and you wait for each atoms of the decks to quantum tunnel through the table. 100% Science! Joke. Automatic effects work, but only with a good presentation. I think you have to forget about ethics...

    The Ethics of Deception

    I'd start with contesting the part where you use the word "fool" as there is some sort of a scam going on, or as if magic is only directed in deception-only practises, where the main object is to expect the "how-did-you-do-that?" sentence. I've seen magic performed in such an entertaining and...

    Standard Monarchs

    The main reason of card clumping is the humidity of the environment and how you take care of them, that means if you wash your hands before handling, how much you sweat, and if you spread/place them in non-dirty areas. That works for any deck. There is no way to undo certain type of things, and...

    Some help with an elementry card skill...

    I have seen a friend perform an amazing fan with one of the oldest and most used deck i've ever seen. But, at the same time, when i asked to see that again, he failed three times in a row. That means that yes, you can do anything even with an old deck, but there's a degree of difficulty in using...

    Red or Blue?

    I as well prefer blue backed cards, i think it stands out more. Also the back design itself is more clear in blue. Higher frequency electromagnetic ligh wave are more eye-catching? By the way, in my opinion, that video is the perfect example that it's not important what deck you use, but the...
