For my card back!

Invisible transit (2 cards placed on the table switch places). Quick and to the point. For something a bit more flashy, Duplicity by Pit Hartling. Spectator shuffles and deals 2 hands of cards. You shuffle another deck and deal the same 2 hands. Daaaaang!

I've won pointz.

What a year. By Forces Unseen, If an Octopus Could Palm and now The Complete Walton! There's been some new stuff too- I'm looking at you Mr. Jennings Takes it Easy and I have Sleightly Out of Order on order, but I don't even know what reprint I'm still hoping for! How was your year for books...

I suppose if you really had to put a borrowed deck into Mnemonica you could say you need to make sure all the cards are there and then openly put it in new deck order. Then use the standard methods to get to Mnemonica, but this still seems cumbersome.

I use David's Cull by David González, you can get it from Vanishing Inc. People also like Road Runner, I have not learned that one. I'm not sure if Road Runner works as well for culling half the deck at a time, but I imagine it would be fine. You should learn one of these techniques for...

Chinese Shuffle. What stack do you need? For Si Stebbins see Chinese Shuffle to Si Stebbins stack in The Secrets of Brother John Hamman and also reproduced in Patrick Redford's Temporarily Out of Order. Redford also includes a couple ways to do this in the course of a trick. Mnemonica...

Yes. But the effects and routines must be well constructed. Read Designing Miracles and Strong Magic by Ortiz. So I change my answer to no. Your presentation and execution will be improved by understanding the theory behind why the routine you are doing is good magic. Your stated approach...

Get him a book. Card College 1. It is the first book in a 5 volume series on how to do card magic with a regular deck. Though he may already have a volume or 2, so you'll have to find out.

Congratulations on the performance!

Conjuring Arts sells the e-book version for $16. You should be looking into getting the Card College books by Giobbi if you don't have those.

Ask nice. People will generally follow whatever directions they are given if they are clear and simple. Just say please print instead of please write. Preferably with someone who just successfully followed one of your previous instructions. If that still seems too risky (people drinking in...

Oh, sorry. You were referring to the 4:57 one. 4:54 he shows the DB. Hmm, haven't seen that one before that I know of. Seems kind of weird to have a one use gaff come with a deck... Not sure there's a good way to make your own for this one, but the links I gave above are great for coming...

Many decks come with them. You can get the bicycle ones retail. Penguin has them, I'm sure other magic retailers do as well. Better yet, learn to make your own! https://www.theory11.com/marketplace/blake-vogt/split-session-v1-speed-split...

The Under-the-spread Force. Card College page 189.

It looks like this is his version of The Educated Cards found in Royal Road to Card Magic.

Do you have any card magic books? It's hard to see exactly what he's doing while he handles the cards but the main part of the effect uses a standard method. For instance Scarne on Card Tricks has a trick that is done the same way. We can't tell you the method but depending on what resources...

https://www.shinlimmagic.com/shop/shim-magnets Shin Lim sells the ones he likes. You can probably find a better price if you find a magnet supplier with Google, but with his you know it's what works.

Good luck everyone!
