    Need advice on "Hand-to-Hand Spread"

    I would have suggested the Card College reference, but you already have checked. That's enough in my opinion, the book is meant to make intuition, knowledge and imagination meet. So you read how it's done, and try it. At the same time you should try to forget about it, and see how you would...

    If they're not impressed by magic, how does one change that?

    People have different tastes, like food, movies, etc. The point is you may find a branch of magic which that person may respond better, still, the variables are two: one is you, one is her. You either change presentation, or you change audience. Last but not least: you can't make people change...

    is the monarch deck worth the price ?

    If you are an intermediate card mechanic as you say, you of course know that you can do card magic with no deck, may it be few card, three cards, or no cards at all. That being said it all comes to personal taste, curiosity, tradition. While asking that question you will find out there are no...

    Scarne's Aces

    I can send you a message with the titles of the manuscripts i used to learn the move, and some titles i don't own, but i know can contain useful informations on the same topic. They aren't proper books, and many authors come up with different method for the same move. To be honest it is never...

    Scarne's Aces

    Thank You! The move always fascinated me. When i started it felt like i was too sloppy, too slow and too open, and it became an obsession, and i kept practising and practising until it was too late to give up, because of the time i've already spent on it. It was a very soul-eating process, but...

    Saturday Night Contest - Your Best Trick

    It usually doesn't fail. When it does, it's because you perform in narrow spaces (that is for a camera, for example). The camera keeps everything in focus, the human eye doesn't, since i couldn't show it to the T11 staff live, i had to film it ^^ But i assure you that the card under anything is...

    Saturday Night Contest - Your Best Trick

    It's one of my top 3 best trick, i love it doing it live, which makes more sense than in video. The other 2 requires talking, and i rather speak in my native language, so i did this one instead. I hope i expressed enough through gesture, this is something i really love performing at a table

    Need advice on "Hand-to-Hand Spread"

    I'd say you worry too much. While having feedback is very important, never underestimate the power of self-improvement. I can see you're new to the card world, and a lot of things will seems hard, unnatural, or just ugly. This is normal, cause you haven't got into the habit of manipulate the...

    Help with "Dribble Spread"

    Actually it is very good! You have almost erased the hard index pressure, now it's just time to practise enough to be able to release cards one at the time, that will get the dribble very smooth. You'll find out that you can dribble from any direction, with any motion, attaining different...

    Help with "Dribble Spread"

    You're giving too many degrees of freedom to the cards. Notice that the packet is bent with the index in the middle: that allows the cards to obtain an angular momentum, in addition to the momentum provided by gravity when you release the cards, and that causes the cards to flip around the front...

    What Are You All Working On?

    i actually do move it over, i can reinterpretate your point like i do a wider top deal, if i narrow it, it will look more like the same. The problem is that i switch grip with my thumb cause the top deal differ from the bottom push-off. Since modifying the bottom is too hard (that is the...

    Card people

    I mostly use bicycle or tally ho just because when i perform, people tend to destroy the deck. I don't know how or why, but if they just have to take a card for example, they bend it and crush it in such a way that couldn't even been described in "Marlo's Crimp Conjuring". For the second...

    What Are You All Working On?

    I'm working on my version of the Scarne's Aces, which requires a life-draining practise, then i'm training the bottom deal, and other card table works. A few cardistry moves, and i'm also losing time on making useless things like this: (i just make the video with a terrible headache) As...
