lol! I never learned the mnemonica, didn't notice the stack as well Anyway, a little observation of mine: note how an effect performed in such impossible conditions, created little reaction. Katy Perry was like: "Ha. I just only cut to one freely thought card from a deck in my own hands...

The technique was perfect, but it's too smooth. If you would turn one card, would you do it that way? I think you should be more careless in turning the card, may be a single or a double. As for the push off, it's a very deceptive double... but as long as i have the chance of flashing the double...

Many other effects of this kind involves stuffing your city or yourself with playing cards, so you can have most of the time a way out. I've accomplished this effect just once, i had one card folded and asked to name any card, and i guessed correctly. I say "guessed" cause my method (which is...

It is something achieved only by practise, that's what riffle stacking is! It can be done by "feeling" at some point, but always double check with a quick look for retaining the right amount of cards. The more you practise the less indecision it will appear as you stack the top. Try to retain 1...

This is a quick card trick i've thinking about forever, but never recorded it. So here it is! PS: The card is freely selected

You have to differentiate between an ACAAN that works, or the mythological ACAAN. If you want an effect to be performed, you can loose the conditions, the spectators don't care about that. So you can force a card, or a number, or whatever you'd like as soon as the effect of "finding a freely...

you have to release some tension, the grip is not a firm grip, althought it may help in the first periods to develop a good form without worrying about anything else. For me, it works better with a loose but still controlled grip, so the deck doesn't go anywhere, but i don't clutch it. Also it...

Maybe you've already found what's best for you, but to broaden your possibilities i'd mention the diagonal palm shift, that can be done with more than 1 card (for a non-table control), and the nash multiple shift (from a table). If you're working on a table routine, i'd go with the last one

It's been a while i've been messing around this idea. I haven't found the move anywhere, except performed by Chris Orbit Brown in one of his videos. I am almost certain my method is different than his, but what matters is the study i've put into a sleight that is as difficult as unpratical (but...

A quick effect I've come up with this night.

EDIT: Problem solved! Hadn't trained this for a very long time, but i hope to give the idea of what it was like as a younger magician to discover this new version of magic. It was so many years ago.. but i still keep The Trilogy in my heart. PS: I surely am very tired, but i can't edit or...

Maybe my first love of visual card magic. Unfortunately I had to rush this, YouTube apparently decided to compress the video, and don't have time to figure out why. Good Luck!

too bad, this was one contest i would have really wanted to partecipate... unfortunately in EU it's not a comfortable time zone

there was an exact thread as this one from not much time ago, check it out

If you want to learn magic, card college is for you. dvd and other stuff are distracting, you need to be a student before being a performer. then you can work to the tricks, and you'll have everything you need to overcome any situation. If you're new, i can suggest just the first 2, they have...

200% agree, don't push the limits when it's not even necessary. Consider they don't have to "see" that there's nothing on your arm, you have just to make remember that there wasn't even a reason to suspect to look at the arm. Hope it helped

i started at 16, after some teaching from the magician i saw the first trick, i bought card college and got deep into the matter. the first years sucked, cause even if you got the techniques you don't have the flow and the presentation you need. But it's part of building a inner self i think...

I forgot about that one, it is amazing! If you enjoy coin magic have a look at David Stone's "one coin routine", some of that can fit into your own coin routine. Also there are some simple effects like coin to shoulder, and coin from ceiling (that has to performed without glasses) that are funny...

so, are you surrounded by people who doesn't care if a person has disappeared into a river? come on man! that might be work on TV shows with staged audience.
