Bannon hits on this in his Move Zero series where he talks about the definition of self-working tricks. Self-working really means, to him at least and I am in agreement with, a trick that doesn't require a move. Sure, you can say that "no trick is self-working because you need a magician to do...

Anything that's self-working by John Bannon. Move Zero is the best collection of self-working card magic, in my opinion. Notable favorites are: Collusion, The Bannon Triumph, View to a Skill, Power of Poker, Tiny Contrary Killer.

No thread bumping, please. Thanks :) -Andrew

I ordered it the moment David made this thread. The package is still stuck in California :( Damn you FedEx.

That's a great trick! It's a variation on Chad Longs Shuffle Lesson. http://www.penguinmagic.com/p/5601 I love Paul Wilson's twist on this because it's disguised so perfectly. I recommend the whole collection that I'll be linking. https://www.artofmagic.com/products/killers

I haven't seen or heard of a method where this didn't require a gimmick. There is Revolution by Greg Wilson, but that does require a gimmick. Perhaps this is simply a feat of pure skill.

I bought Rhines Dice the moment it came out and was not disappointed. Like Will, I am also looking for a third effect to have that perfect "rule of 3" set and I believe I found something that works for me.

I remember doing a magic show for my parents when I was really young, like around 6 or 7. I just watched a David Copperfield special and thought it was amazing, so I put together this little show for my parents. I don't remember what kind of tricks I did, apart from that I had my little brother...

R.I.P. My sides. My god, I won't even try to top that!

The book is fantastic. I customized a marking system for myself using the variety of systems and have good success with it. I was surprised that an idea for a trick that I had was actually in there too :P

Con-Cam Coincidencia by Paul Wilson. Poker Players Picnic Redux (a.k.a. The Contest) by Ed Oschmann and Tom Dobrowolski. Both of these involve you and three spectators. They are also self-working, freeing you up to focus on your assistants and your presentation.

I have a poster of one of Thurston's old promotional posters, and some smaller ones for Houdini and Carter. I sent a couple to @RealityOne, such as Keller and Adelaide Herrmann. I also recently received an old advertisement of my great great grandfather, who was a hypnotist as well as some...

I can't express how happy I am with this news! Who would have thought that a new member, bursting into the forum with so such enthusiasm, would have progressed so rapidly? Congratulations, Ryan! I'll help in any capacity I can, but for sure the other mods are here to offer their experience and...

If splitting is your goal, I recommend checking out Blake Vogts Split Session V.2. It's only a few bucks and it really helped my gimmick construction. And rubber cement is the probably the best way to go, since it sticks to itself and easy to clean up after.

This is seriously awesome! Looks like everything worked out well in the end :)
