“Erdnase”. Kill two birds with one stone. Find out his/their identity and get help on sleights or use a more modern one and baffle him if that is possible.

I had that happen recently with a buddy. Fun fact, don’t wear mirrored sunglasses when doing that shtick. He is still convinced they’re marked.

If I recall right, USPCC offers small runs too at the loss of full control over the card design components. Like if you wanted 100 for a wedding or something. Cartemundi (not sure if I got that right) is also a contender too I believe.

Last I heard the secret summoned a mint classic deck of Jerry's Nuggets. You gotta find the sword (as in the physical blade that was artistically rendered) that's going through the skull on the Monarchs though and decipher some stuff on a sheet of uncut Contrabands held to the sun. It is quite...

A clear coat and fanning powder might do the job. I think slicking raw card stock wouldn’t achieve the finish he is looking for but that’s a good call. I’d experiment with a few and memento the others.

Had a funny moment today. Was genuinely trying to lose a spectator’s card for a reveal elsewhere after going through the top few cards a la magician in peril. Riffle, cut, riffle offer to let them cut.. and what do you know. It’s the first card off the top and they’re impressed. “I didn’t even...

I fidget around with Odyssey plenty while waiting at say a coffee shop. Have had a few times where it has lead to a few people noticing and then approaching. Its a nice natural attention getter. Next up would probably be ID.

Cipher. So many ways to approach that one. You could make a dump with your phone number backwards and then make a bet that you will reveal their phone number. Go through the basic star sign routine, once the try dialing the backwards number, say “hold on, lock your phone so it’s fair. You Taurus...

1.) 3 of Clubs 2.) King of Hearts 1.) 7 of Spades 2.) 2 of Diamonds (AKA I fold) Good luck everyone!

I’m half in and half out regarding the quote. Sure, a lot of material is not original (though that needs a definition of range. Just changing the patter changes the tone for a trick and makes it your own performance despite the mechanical moves being 100+ years old.) and a lot of products sold...

Hey, card to spectator’s salad sounds like a first. Wallets and watches are so overdone. Way to innovate ;)

You can always get into contact with Chris (I believe) it is from Lybrary’s support and ask him as he might be able to help you. Having curated all of that I imagine he has some suggestions. Beyond that, I’d guess you’re at wherever scouring the web can take you.

This is purely semantics, however they did say -complete- conjurer with cards. I’d have to agree learning a move that you may or may not use regardless moves you one step forward. You gain another tool in your arsenal. However Ammar states that as well and makes a great point of if you want to...

I only say that because for some reason my Facebook feed was a little flooded today with genuine reactions of “wait how?!”. Excuse the bitterness.

That using weak material from selfworking number tricks and practical mental magic on Facebook makes you an impressive magician. I’m not talking about anyone in particular. I swear. However share this video if the last name of the person you’re thinking of is the same as the Los Angeles...

The name from what I could gather. The hand you use just depends on your handedness.

Excellent point about the spectator being the best teacher. You can almost watch the reaction change if a card is forced using say a waterfall dribble, a riffle, a cut. You are in control and giving the illusion of choice. Probably one of the best products I bought kept drilling use the classic...

Dip a little bit into every pot until you find what hits home with you. Modern Coin Magic, Practical Mental Magic, Card Trick books that are feasible for you to learn, Mark Wilson’s Complete Course. One thing is don’t take any of the books or “branches” of magic for granted as they all...

The use of stooges has been and will always be a thing. It is how things were handled that got interesting, Jibrizy approached it in a rather childish manner by saying he was better than Justin Miller, Chris Ramsay and Shin Lim and "screw all the haters". So he's going to slowly decline in...

Now that the contents of the sleight club have been, for the most part, revealed, I would say comparing card college to it would be like apples and oranges. I do agree if you are starting fresh and want to get at it with that much to spend in card magic, card college is the way to go. If by...
