    Tips for getting a pinky break under BOTTOM two cards?

    With the deck in dealers grip, move your left pointer finger to the outer right corner on the face of the deck…so pointer finger on the right bottom corner. Hope that makes sense. Apply pressure with your pointer finger, the back bottom of the deck will start to open up. You can ‘Braille’ with...

    Good Magic Tricks?

    Are you just starting with magic or just starting on this site? If you are new to magic there are easier more economical ways to learn magic than the marketplace. Don’t get me wrong, I think the marketplace is a great tool to supplement your existing knowledge, sell/exchange ideas etc…but it’s...

    Is video magic/online magic real magic? Do you guys consider it legit?

    The quick answer; it can be considered magic.…there is plenty of examples where it isn’t. Slightly long answer. Zack Scott’s videos for instance are generally not considered magic but instead clever editing. The video on the Reddit link was removed but I can guess it was the recent video making...

    Saturday Night Contest - Your Favorite!

    Favorite deck…for performing it’s red bikes. There are just so many gaffs that are useful for those decks plus I can ruin a deck and replace it easily. I’m not afraid to; rip, fold, or write on these cards! My favorite deck for looks changes from time to time like holidays etc. but a few decks...

    Backfire for shadow coins.

    Shoot Ogawa has a great version that’s ungimmicked, I’m not sure where to find this at the moment but if you can track that down it’s one of the best in my opinion. Mr. Pearl has a download that teaches a couple versions that uses 4 cards, a download can be found at Vanishing and Penguin. Curtis...

    Storing Small Gimmicks

    Storage is somewhat easy…makeup carrying cases do well. They are sometimes called “train cases” and run the gambit in price from 30$ to over a 100$. These can be good for storage at your residence and some models are good looking travel bags hence the “train case” name. Some of them look...

    This years wheel has been a tough one for me. It probably just seems tough since last year I was on a hot streak! But I’ve gotten 250 points so far this year. I missed a day too.

    How many acts?

    If I get your verbiage right….1 act. I have a busking set I've tried out piecemeal and will be putting it all together this spring. My persona is still in its developing stages, so far I’m a hack just doing a starter act…coin/card stuff, rope stuff, Invisible deck. I’m a Newby to performing...

    Ideas please

    It might help us to know what you already perform, otherwise some suggestions may not your style or not your current skill set. But to get it started with some shots in the dark; “Do as I do“ has some fun variations where you both randomly select the same card. It is a fun 2 person bit. Usually...

    Other hobbies?

    My hobbies changed throughout the years as I aged or moved but some have stuck with me or I came back to them. For instance Magic is a hobby I did a little bit in my early 20s then rediscovered again in my mid 30s. But a constant since childhood has been gaming; board games, video gaming, and...

    Chosen coins across

    It’s his handling of a CSB (copper silver brass) across. We don‘t discuss methods on these forums but I’ll give my 2 cents on how I feel about that routine. The spectator having the say on which coin is pretty cool and sets it apart from most other versions. He has a “gutsy” moment that I...

    Trying to locate English name and performance video (not reveal) for easy 3-card packet trick bought in Taiwan

    It sounds like a 3 card monte routine. There are many tutorials for that routine with slight variations. Your description of the cards differ a bit from what many gaff cards look like so I didn’t see the exact one.…but here is a start for you to peruse; https://www.penguinmagic.com/s/3+card+monte

    Theory11 Forumiversary gifts?

    I know you meant from you but thats a rather a good idea. A gaff card is quite doable from a T11 standpoint. Honestly the logistics involved with gifts for a forum account is rather spendy. I know this is all hypothetical and just for fun…But since gaffs wear out maybe they could do it every X...
