Thank you for the recommendation David. Brett, thank you for the insight, I will be ordering some books but I will still probably use those sources every once in a while.

Interesting, now I see people like 52Kards and DisturbReality and TheRussianGenius to know their way around cards and not just be doing it to expose the effect, in your opinions would it be wrong for someone genuinely interested in magic to use them as a source of information?

Thank you very much for the suggestions. Brett, I actually do not have any books at the moment, my only learning sources have been Genesis, my brother, and youtube, now before I get burnt at the stake for using youtube I only used to refine techniques my brother already taught me. And another...

What are some good general resources on card magic that are not crazy expensive (Somewhere around 20-40$ would be good price)? I have been practicing magic for about 9 months now, been doing some cardistry stuff (got Andrei Jihk's Genesis V1 last year) but I want to expand my knowledge base with...

So I am currently in the middle of watching Mat Franco's Got Magic. I wanted to know what some of the people here thought about it if they saw it. (In advance sorry if this is the wrong thread to be posting this on, if it is could you inform me of where to post it and I will delete this and...

Thank you very much for the tips.

No relation, sorry. And what I am looking to get in to is close up magic. Thank you for the tips, would you have any specific suggestions for getting them to look away from the deck if I wanted to do something like a pass or a top change? Sorry if I am asking too much, I am just trying to...

I am very amateur with magic. I am trying to figure out how to work around people, I was wondering if anyone here could give me any tips or resources on learning how to engage the audience and misdirect them.

I saw Andrei Jihk guest star on Brain Games, saw him do a card spring, and then spent the next 2 weeks learning it, not the best way to start....

I thought that was some sort of gaff deck before I read what you said...

Good point, thank you. Watching it over and over again does make it clearer.

I like to mix them. I like to mix cardistry into my into my magic routines. But I would have to go with magic if I had to choose.

Thank you for the reply, but I was looking for something less flashy. The move I am trying to do is David Blaine's Two Card Monty, it looked like a cool trick so I took some time to figure it out, but I am looking for something I can do without anyone noticing I am doing anything. I have noticed...

I have been learning a trick where I have one card in my right hand and the deck in my left hand. I need to swap the card in my right hand with the top card of the deck. Is there a trick I can use here to it will not be blatantly obvious?

Unfortunately my financial situation right now limits my new exposure to cards to YT, Genesis V1, and forums.

Hello, I have been working on learning the backpalm and I need help with two things. First of all which way to learn it is better? I found two slightly different versions one by Disturb Reality and one by 52Kards (Links below) which one is better for general use? I have found practicing DR's...

I might be wrong but I think that is Blink it is covered on Genesis V1

Hello, I fairly recently started doing cardistry and have found a few good tutorials on youtube and am starting to get a feel for how it works. The problem I have run into is with my bicycle card deck when I try to do the revolution cut when I transfer from my thumb to my ring finger I do not...

That really is amazing. Are you going to upload a step by step tutorial sometime? (Or maybe find someone to if you cannot explain well)

Oh okay! Thank You! It works!
