Bikes from your local costco/sam's club/online etc are like $14 for 12 so that is an effective practice card if there. However, practicing with your favorite card of choice so you're used to the handling is always a good idea. If they're a $15 vanity deck, try to avoid ripping/tearing/burning...

That is true. That same day free prime s&h is always nice.

For various purposes, I’m looking to purchase say like 2 bricks of Bees in 2 variants and 2 split color bricks of tallyho fans and circle backs. Are there any places I should be aware of for good deals? T11 isn’t terrible on pricing for them for you never really know. Googling just lead me to...

Villanova 83/75 Also shame Loyola didn’t make their Cinderella. And in a few hours Kansas could take my prediction and flush it. Probably should wait but hey! Where is the fun.

I’m lucky to have a supportive lass. There is an established us and practice time though, but she will do her own research or ask that I teach what I’m doing and angle check for me... all so I can perform it better. One of the moments I think I fell was doing a trick that was half Svengali...

Everyone pretty much has this covered. I go with this blend- I use YouTube to mainly reverse engineer what a trick was so I can then look it up properly. Or use it to see magicians that are definitely better than myself perform a move to cross reference. But books and instructionals will keep...

Congrats man!

Awesome job, like the tone as it reflects the subject matter well.

You’re lucky you just got kicked out, mate.

“Okay so for my next tri-BANG... I made my fingers disappear.”

I’m already conceding to this challenge as I don’t own the lota bowls I used to have for a more narrative driven effect regarding the lack of drinkable water and just purchasing a couple of packs to support the cause. There is a little bit of irony in most likely wasting water to perform an...

My scandy heritage might have you beat in tallest.* But you can keep the river dancing haha. *6’9”. I quickly learned that it’s both advantageous and a disadvantage if you’re not paying attention to your sleights for a shorter person.

It was a special they did that went through a lot of their classics. I think it opened it up to me due to the fact that they quasi reveal things. It went from “?!?” to “Ooooh”. ScamSchool is a now YouTube based show hosted by Brian Brushwood based on bar bets, tricks and puzzles. Card tricks you...

“Hiphop magician” - Jibrizy. I’m going for fake as in there really is no such thing. Unless he produces hiphop I guess while doing tricks.

For me. It is a little convoluted. P&T’s Don’t Try This At Home made me check out my local magic shop. I walked out with an overpriced Svengali deck, an overpriced (not sure what kind of deck. It’s a rough/smooth deck with blank facers. Vanishing deck might have been its name?) and a very...

Penn going off about that bullet catch is a brilliant rant that touches bases with what you just summarized it as. If I can remember the gist correctly, hurting yourself or putting yourself in legimate harm’s way = idiotic and a poor role model example. They go through a lot of work to create...

In a microfiber pouch in my pocket. It’s what I had laying around at the time and it just stuck. Oh... and 250 some odd brass Chinese fengshui coins in a velour-ish drawstring bag. I don’t carry that but it’s the other storage container. I misread the pc count on Amazon so I just give them away...

However, a take away from that post is... the card shark could be your persona if you wanted to. Sort of like Richard Turner, even though I don't even classify him anywhere near a magician. He's transcended card mechanic even. Regardless, whatever that man is, his demos are fairly brilliant and...

@ChristopherT tagging due to mobile quote splicing being a pain. That is a valid point, to him being able to in hand false or real riffle and bridge without even looking at the cards most of the time + hold a conversation or patter comes off as how he described. I’ve also seen plenty of other...

As I look at the bricks (hyperbole) of various gorgeous decks i’ve collected, and my hands in the mirror, getting each sleight tighter and less visible... I realized through a simple demo of a routine with my skeptic friend that performing everything so neatly and even using something that isn’t...
