Jason England covers it on his videos that can be purchased from magic tricks menu link above here at T11 .

Most tricks can be done with any stack you know well, though there are some exceptions. The book Mnemonica has the most on that particular stack, along with much stack independent material. Books by Simon Aronson (such as Simply Simon) are good, though some of the stuff is based off his stack...

I suppose it would be more accurate to have said that the original version was reprinted in Paul Curry's Worlds Beyond. It was simply what first came to mind as the most currently accessible place to find the original version. It can of course also be found in Best of All Worlds, a better...

People regularly make "how can I learn this trick" posts which I am torn with respect to how to answer. On one hand there is the direct answer to the actual question asked, name the trick and give a resource where it can be learned. On the other, there is the real answer. Suggest that they...

2015. T11 was offering a nice discount on bricks and therefore had the best prices around on cards like Bees and Aristocrats, so that was what drew me here initially. The card video downloads and then the forums are what kept me coming back.

It could just be the cards sticking together. Have you tried it with a new deck? Or a deck with less friction. Aristocrats are more slippery than Bikes etc. Once you get the hang of a move it's easier to do with more different kinds of decks. Other than than try varying how much pressure...

It's caused by the cards absorbing moisture from the air. The edges absorb it first and expand while the inner part does not. It depends on climate. In Seattle I just have to wait a couple days after I open the deck for it to reach an equilibrium. It sounds like you need a card clip, they...

Mine is a Dan & Dave private reserve deck that came as a mystery bonus gift with an order a few years ago. For magic specific hardware probably a Todd Lassen Triple Threat Gravity Flipper.

Great. I'd just like to emphasize that the main takeaway from the other thread is hopefully: "None of the methods work well as just a self contained trick you can learn without knowing much other magic. It's best to start learning magic in general and soon you will learn how close you can get...

I have seen Banachek perform this type of effect though I don't know that he directly teaches it anywhere in his offerings. He does address the topic generally at times. Also, see related 'think of any card' thread...

I just get coins off Ebay, though it can take some work to get ones that match for a good price. Get some pretty worn ones, they make less noise and are less expensive. You should try a Barber too, they are quite different and you might like them better. If you want nice sharp edges you...

They all are. You gotta be willing to grab a fresh deck and see if that helps, especially when learning a move. Once you learn it you might be able to use a more worn deck, but it frequently helps when first learning it. Try some Aristocrats as well. They are a little more expensive, but not...

We're going to need more information. What kind of second are you practicing? It sounds like you either aren't keeping the cards in the deck aligned or your cards are sticking together. Are you using a fresh deck? And try varying how tightly you are holding the deck.

Pick up a copy of Expert Card Technique. The table on contents will serve your purpose. Card College has a more modern teaching technique, but for a list of sleights Expert Card Technique is a less expensive method...

All Bee's I've ever bought have been traditionally cut, though it looks like I last got some from T11 three and a half years ago. Where did you see that T11 says they are modern cut? In other news, the Bikes from T11 all seem to be traditional cut these days.

I like plush mats for cards. I get mine from Pattrick's Magic. https://www.pattricksmagic.com/magical-mats (if you try his, make sure you get plush. He has other surfaces but not all are as nice) I can't imagine not having a mat for cards, though it depends what kind of stuff you like to do.

Schoolcraft or Kueppers. Most of us seem to go Kueppers but look into both. Either way, don't be in a hurry. It's pretty much all custom made.

Yes, traditionally cut would be face cut.

The decks of Phoenix cards I have are not traditionally cut. I believe they were when they first made them, but then they switched. As far as I know they have not switched back. Having said that, regular Bikes (at least the ones I get from T11 or Vanishing Inc.)seem to have switched to...

Patrck Redford has a section on 'Tricks to Hide the Chinese Shuffle' in Temporarily Out of Order. I like to practice doing the Chinese Shuffle while doing David's Cull while going through the deck to get cards for the next trick or to find the card as part of the current trick etc. The book...
