Can someone recommend poker sized manipulation cards? I use Bees, but would like to try something thinner. The last deck I ordered ended up being bridge size. Thanks

I think the original comment that started it was very much on point. But since you have the requisite dedication, growing out of it is not the issue. And you're probably right, she was just being annoying.

I get my close-up pads from pattricksmagic.com. He is a pleasure to work with, will make custom sizes and the pads are high quality and reasonably priced. Make sure you get plush! If you search old threads you will find suggestions on how to make your own. I just order from Pattrick...

I worked in a magic shop for several years and performed tricks for people thousands of times, so I managed to get the 'do you want to see a trick' part of magic out of my system. I now view my card sleights as a form of juggling with cards. I enjoy seeing how well I can manipulate and control...

The most instructive thing on my Richard Turner DVDs is one effect where he just gets it wrong. He acknowledges it went wrong and does it over and everyone was still suitably impressed. It helps if you are Richard Turner, but the point is people will forgive something going wrong if you still...

Get the one with the material you find the most interesting. Don't worry about getting them 'in order'. The first one does have a lot of deals in it, so you are probably better off with the second or third one. Or just buy 5 segments individually. If you don't think you'll need to learn all...

It's and excellent set of videos to complement Card College. You would do well to study both. If I was starting now I would want the 5 volumes of Card College and the Foundations videos.

I have many books and the Jason England videos. I agree with everyone above about the books and you should definitely have them. I still recommend the videos but only in addition to the books. It's too hard to cram all of the essential stuff into a video. Books can cover more ground and...

I'd probably control it to the top and then side steal another to the top leaving the original card in second position. Either that or let the card above the break fall on top of it before doing a pass.

And as far as the language goes, you will run into the typical issues of having to change the way you talk about something in a different language, beyond translating the words. Overall it should work independent of language, but you will likely have to make some adaptations more for cultural...

Hey, you beat me to answer!!! Okay, I'll pick a new one.

There is a method (for one specific card) on Docc Hilford Live that looks good and might not be too hard to learn. Psyche by Peter Turner comes with the Psychological Card Forces mentioned above, so you get extra material for about the same price. These methods will never be 100% accurate...

You can get his Mnemonica Miracles video set, I'd assume he teaches it on that too. I wouldn't be surprised if they reprinted Mnemonica, but it does seem to be unavailable now. You can always learn the Aronson stack. For the Aronson stack go to magicians.simonaronson.com (free PDF directly...
