    Confession of magicians

    I've been training (well... trying to...) my golden retriever to secretly snatch cards that are dropped and gently hold/release them after wandering away for a card to dog transpo. I don't know why really. Here is a picture I snapped after she successfully did the reveal after doing a corner...

    Advice!!

    I may be the wrong person to answer this but I don't feel like it is something you should hide. Most will find it interesting and actually want to see you do something! After a first date or while we're texting I'll casually say "Oh i'm flipping through some book on artifice... it's archaic as...

    Mentalism-Beggining!

    Read Bob Cassidy’s Fundamentals or Practical Mental Magic. Paraphrasing @ChristopherT here but “...13 Steps is a reference book. It would be like learning English by using a dictionary”. Also sorry, don’t think anyone is going to help pirate a PDF for ya unless they’re already open commons...

    Price: £22 / Free for Sleight Club members Length: 3 hours 45 minutes with 16 segments If you've poked around any products, notes or the magic stream that involve bottom dealing with Madison, then you know what to expect on a base level. The grip and the dealing. He's covered it a few times...

    Bottom Deal Update!!

    Good job so far. In regards to feedback- There are a few things that as a spectator I would notice. Whenever you bottom dealt, you came in at a different approach... almost gingerly? compared to the rapid tops to the other hands. There is also the dragging sound (not your standard deal drag...

    Question about power of suggestion , hypnosis and influence

    AKA The Magician's Choice from what I understand? I want you to pick A when offering A or B and using the information gap in your deciding, you will always end up "selecting" A through clever wording.

    Judging by your IG post, it looks like everything got sorted! (Was looking at the Madisonist tag and found your post)

    Nerves with the palm

    Because if you can't see it, they can't right? :P Lots of truth in this. If you're asked to shuffle for example as a spectator, good chance something is happening elsewhere.

    Nerves with the palm

    Everyone has pretty much covered it. Practice with the palming and just doing it. You’d be surprised what you can get away with with cops, palms, etc. Hell, even secretly tearing corners.

    Madison.

    “I never anticipated such an overwhelming response to my independent company and keeping up has kept me busy. Over the weekend I have employed a personal assistant to join my team so that no emails go unanswered. This does mean that I’ll be out of contact to all other than members of the...

    Daniel Madison New Madisonist

    Are you from U.K. or elsewhere? The pretty vague shipping is a little annoying.

    Card Switch gimmick?!

    Yeah... there are a multitude of cuts in the footage, but at 1:40-1:43 that definitely looks like someone prepping a loop to me. Where you go from there, if that is even accurate? -shrug-

    Mnemonica by Juan Tamariz - Reprinted

    Just a friendly bump and reminder. I noticed in the most recent penguin newsletter email that they’re saying “I hate to tell you, but we're almost sold out of this printing of Mnemonica. It'll be a while before it's reprinted, so don't wait if you're on the fence.” Whether or not that’s sales...

    Saturday Night Contest - Cross Country

    Yeah. I just finished my shift when I posted that and lacked reading comprehension. The travel distance would be interesting had he picked somewhere like say Hawaii. So geographically is the best way, and the way it was originally worded. Anyways congrats josh!

    Who Wants To Take A Challenge?

    Borrowed deck brainwaves are pretty fun and the version I learned doesn’t require any of that.

    Current Best Decks of Playing Cards

    Tally-Ho mostly now. They feel good out of the box and I’m more likely to destroy them before they give out. I’m also liking Cartamundi’s B9 stock and hoping more designers pick them up. I’ll be dabbling with Madisonists in the near future but don’t see that becoming my go to. It’s like using...

    The extra bits... how do you deal with them? (Card leftovers)

    Gaffs, gimmicks, torn and signed cards... you’re going to end up with extras. So what do you do? If I’m not using Wreck as my closer, chances are they’re going in some Rubbermaid box labeled back + color and be cycled through for a bunch of signs or tears. They’re almost always ready to...
