    What to do when a spectator asks to see your deck ???

    I just did and I think I actually giggled at the end result. I imagine with some creativity and false cuts and shuffles, you could end up with the cards in new deck order too, if you wanted that to be the final kicker instead of repeating it. That part I'd have to think on (assuming it isn't...

    Deck Recommendation?

    NPH and Tycoons come to mind off the bat. More so the Tycoons, as they're a bit more gaudy and have the vibe of extravagance. You also get 4 colors to choose from to possibly fit the deck to the suit. If more subtle is your style: https://store.theory11.com/products/bicycle-heritage-series The...

    What to do when a spectator asks to see your deck ???

    While this is a little bit of a tangent, I've oddly found success with Strippers over ID with the people I've performed for recently. ID and Brainwave decks can be seen on so many different platforms/TV that I guess the new park I've started strolling has some google-savvy folk that makes them...

    What to do when a spectator asks to see your deck ???

    I do enjoy my gaffs and duplicates, but you hit the nail on the head. After performing something AND they can look at it, they don't even know what they're looking for at that point and it leaves them more baffled and impressed. If you are performing with gaffs, duplicates, or gimmicks, there...

    WHAT SHOULD I BUY??

    This is really dependent on what you want to achieve. Do you just want to buy a few tricks to do for family, friends, or just entertaining yourself? If that is the case, buy whatever floats your boat. Be prepared to go through a lot of loops while learning them, also you'll probably want some...

    So I pulled the trigger on this one as I was curious and wanted to purchase a few of the included products and it came out about equal to joining. So open wallet, placed preorder. Listed Perks: -Access to Sleight Club decks. They’re pretty par for the course for a Madison deck from the images...

    Labeling your decks

    I put an abbreviation in the barcode with a black sharpie or use colors/backs and associate it with that gimmicked deck.

    Help with Ultragaff

    Odds are they are fake. When on the hunt for gaff decks I found loads of knockoff Ultragaffs between $15-50. Real ones were $100+. Especially possible if your seller has a ton of them up. I personally would research and refund. If you still want to use them you can easily make the deck fit the...

    Bar Magic / Clubs Magic Effects

    Thinking about it, ITR tricks might do well. Don’t need to say why you’re making candy float into your mouth. Also I really want to combine the human chimney with rebirth TNR by Tom Phoenix now that I thought about it. That’s a cool little fireplay visual.

    Bar Magic / Clubs Magic Effects

    I was thinking of the more carnie trick/sideshow stuff he does. Human jackolantern or chimney into a Burn gaff doesn’t really require a single word yet I feel it would have a decent impact. It’s like using Smoke except... more unhealthy and sulfur tasting!

    Bar Magic / Clubs Magic Effects

    In addition, if you’re allowed the use of fire- Burn by Daniel Madison due to the visual nature and recreating your own gaffs. Those can string together well with say the human chimney/jackolantern. There is also Tom Phoenix’s fire effects. Like rebirth doesn’t require a single word and leaves...

    Bar Magic / Clubs Magic Effects

    ***When I think of bar magic, Brian Brushwood comes to mind. (Doesn’t help living in Austin). His Scamschool book collection and channel is literally packed with solid effects that are tailor made for being used in an angles don’t matter, easy to string together bits in bars. I imagine that...

    On the hunt for a good gaff deck + instructional...

    Your experience may vary as gaffs tend to do. I got the iCard gaff card from Arcane which was supposedly removed due to copyright reasons. My weapons had a different version of 52 in 1, so on and so forth.

    On the hunt for a good gaff deck + instructional...

    So I picked up pretty much every “current” gaff deck because why not, being able to compare and contrast is fun. Opinions from the handling and viewing source material. 1.) Weapons - the working magician’s gaff deck. It’s bicycle, the effects are strong and you really can’t go wrong. To the...
