Do you have any books? You want something very clear and easy to follow. I would do something similar to Invisible Transit (2 cards magically switch places) from Expert Card Technique. As far as books go, Scarne on Card Tricks and Fulves' Self Working Card Magic should have some good tricks...

You could learn a stack. The best books to start with for that are probably either Simply Simon or Mnemonica, regardless of what stack you choose to learn.

We don't discuss exposure of methods.

There are apps. Do you have Android or Apple or??? I'll see if I can remember which ones I liked if you have the same device type. Also, do you know what you want to do once you have learned the stack or are you just learning it because stacks are awesome?

$15 for David's Cull. https://www.vanishingincmagic.com/card-magic-downloads/davids-cull-download/ My favorite, though they are somewhat different. Do you have specific applications in mind or are you just generally trying to learn? Make sure you have good cards. Old sticky cards cull...

Sweet!

What is the timestamp for the part you are asking about?

Going for my first win.

Some of the same goes for the stuff in the lecture. You should at least have a bit of distance. I think it could be considered parlor magic, not close-up. I'm not too familiar with Patrick Kun's stuff, but from what I have seen that may be the case there as well. Have you checked out Dan and...

Well they aren't afraid of gimmicks and you shouldn't be either! Shin Lim has a DVD called Shinanigans which should have some good stuff. I also enjoyed his At the Table Live lecture from Penguin Magic. That should be a good place to start. The lecture covers more gimmicked stuff, I don't have...

I don't use Facebook, but if it was live it was live. It may have been uploaded at 720, but it is very grainy. I doubt it was recorded at 720. He says it can be used over Skype he also says borrowed deck, no preshow, no electronics and you never touch the deck. That only leaves remote mind...

No, that is not HD. No, he is offering pre-order until he gets a patent and a manufacturer. For something that can be done over Skype?! No You are not seeing this in person. It is a low quality video with low quality audio. I can think of ways.

Well its always hard to tell from a low resolution video in another language, but based on my knowledge of card magic and my Physics education I'm willing to stake a position that there is no method that works every time where the spectator shuffles, names any card, any number, then counts and...

Whatever you do don't buy The Reputation Maker video on the topic. The highlight is when he manages to fool someone who's drunk. Worst DVD I ever bought and I think I paid full price for it based on a good review. Like Expert Card Technique part 3, section 6, method 2.

Right! I keep forgetting the invisible deck!

Sort of. 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 to effect you are thinking of.

It is used in a wide variety of effects. Encyclopedia of Card Tricks has a whole chapter on things you can do with one.

Anyone know of some borderless cards with traditional cut on Bicycle stock? There are options on Bee stock (Bees for one), but I have only found bordered version of traditional cut on Bicycle stock. Any recommendations? Or at least a site that generally lists the specs of USPCC made cards so...

Try different cards. If the deck is old or dirty it will not fan well and the cards will clump.

And more! Go to the main Theory11.com page and scroll down to where it says New to Magic and click Get started. The color change looks like the first thing there, but there is more.
