Thanks for the response. I was wondering if I needed to stock up if they were not going to reprint them, they are such nice cards for the price.

Anneman's card magic does not seem to be currently available. There have been a few threads lately with discussions of books on self working magic. As I recall Scarne and Fulves are most often mentioned.

I see everyone is running low on Aristocrats. Will there be more available/printed in the future?

That's all you can say-ay. That's all you can say-ay. As for the effect, I saw Banacek do it with 4 people at once. Nailed every one of them clean.

It depends what you are doing with it. I'm convinced that cardists like Bikes more and think they last longer than magicians do, but I could just be imagining it. Bee's are my favorite inexpensive deck. I use Aristocrats as an in between choice with respect to the premium decks and the...

Yeah, that makes sense. I've had Close Up Card Magic for years (wherever it is right now) but I've only had Paul Curry's Worlds Beyond a little while. Good to know it's the same thing. And I'm glad I didn't start practicing what I remembered with my right hand.

Actively pretending to be inexperienced and bumbling with cards requires more acting and is more difficult to pull off. Whether or not to go out of your way to appear skillful is up to you depending on the effect or your character as mentioned above. I will say that as a magician the...

Thanks, that one I do have handy.

Certainly could be. That's the other book that I can't seem to find in whatever box it's hiding in.

I'm wondering if it was Larry Jennings. My copy of his book is in some unlabeled box in the closet.

I'm trying to find a sleight I remember practicing in the 80's, but I can't find it in any of my books. Some have been misplaced over the years. It was a one hand Mexican Turnover type move. You did it with the deck in your right hand while you used that hand to turn over the tabled card...

I use David's Cull by David Gonzalez. Sure you can learn culling and it's probably my favorite thing to do, but I wouldn't learn it first to the exclusion of other things. What do you want to do with it? The spread cull in Card College 1 (and other places) is easier than Roadrunner and...

Make sure you are using new cards and try different types of cards too. It sounds like you might want something low friction until you get the hang of it.

Split Sessions has one video on splitting cards and a second video that covers making the gaffs.

I use the Golden Touch mist spray bottle and/or Sortkwik. The O'Keefe's has come highly recommended, though I have not tried it yet- will get some soon. Get a couple things and see what works. Sortkwik is magic, but as with any of these I still worry about it getting on my cards. But the...

This! I did one on my first try after having only getting one split in years of trying.

You might also look into Asi Wind's ACAAN.

What kind of things do you have in mind? As above, you can learn a deck stack. Mnemonica will be reprinted, or learn another while you wait. Si Stebbins is a thought of you want something that uses calculation while you wait to memorize Mnemonica. Get a memory book and learn great feats...

Card 1: Jd Card 2: As Card 1: 3c Card 2: 4d

You need to go to a fabric store and look around for what he's using it's what he did. He is not using a solid black mat. He explains it in his lecture video.
