Still one of my favorite moments. I remember telling this story to my girlfriend and friends, and they said "okay, you're exaggerating." Then we attended the Illusions exhibit in Montreal and read it for themselves. It was their biggest take-away from the entire exhibit.

Second that. I don't own the book but knowing Hollingworth, it'll be tough work. You'll be happier with the books that Antonio and David recommended. I am quite fond of Harry Lorayne's "The Magic Book" and "Scarne on Card Tricks". For some really interesting tricks, you might want to look into...

As a mod, I have no idea if this will be available any time soon. I'm sure as heck going to jump on it if it does come back in stock, though!

I don't have any input to give, honestly. I'm just loving the fact that you shared this process with us. Sincerely, thank you for that. I like that there is a reason for every effect you've chosen and that everything builds up to get the audience on your side. Are you going to be doing close up...

These are awesome! Whatever you do, don't perform Eugene Burger's Card Warp presentation "Highlights Through Christianity. With a Deck of Cards." You may get excommunicated :P

I've read that if you just label your deck on the flap in pencil (lightly), it is never noticed. I haven't tried that so I wouldn't know how effective that is, but I have put hidden marks on my card cases so I know what's what. In performance I keep one deck in a card clip, and another in a...

A tear rolled down my face while reading this one. I loved Daryl, and I was heartbroken when the news broke of his suicide.

112 Good luck everyone!

How about an uplifting one? The Ambitious Card Bury me all you want. I'll just keep rising to the top.

Which I personally love. So much comedic potential, as well as mystifying.

Correction. He's the president of the fan club for that move ;)

Il vincitore è notsoltd. Scusate. Riprova sabato prossimo! If Google was off in the translation then I apologize. The winner is notsoltd. Sorry. Try again next Saturday!

Chris pretty much just covered it :)

My approach, that is unoriginal to me, is that I will wait for someone to ask me to do something. But then I won't. I'll say something "yes I'll be happy to a bit later on." If they persist right then and there then I'll go right into something because I know they are genuinely interested in...

Out of curiosity, what was the consequence if you couldn't get out?

Congrats notsoltd! And awesome entries everyone! This was a great contest.

I get the best reactions with Smoke 2.0. The card trick taught in the download is incredibly powerful, but the simple Portal trick is the one that just knocks people out. Pricey, but worth it!

I will second this suggestion. I picked this up when @RickEverhart mentioned it in a post about a month back. Packs small, hits hard, and you will never go anywhere without it.

Torn and Restored Card "Why would you do that?"

What kind of false shuffles in particular? Do you prefer table shuffles or in the hand? Maybe even both? You may be interested in The Cheat by Richard Turner. It doesn't go in depth when teaching the actual shuffles or cut, but it gives you a close look into the workings of many different...
