First of all, during the course of this discussion, let's try to keep up the respect we ought to have for other people, even those who have opinions which differ from our own and which we might find stupid. I know most people on this forum would do that anyway, and I don't really expect things...

There's another question I've asked earlier, but got a little buried. Let's say we aren't talking about performances of tricks, but techniques, the stuff the spectator isn't supposed to see? My example from earlier on: Steve Forte demonstrates 52 unpublished (!) techniques on his GPS, but...

I thought so. Still, thanks for confirming, and for the info regarding the book. Is there anything we can do against these piracy websites?

Hello everybody, Searching for Andrew Wimhurst's "Down Under Deals" I stumbled across a site that sells it as PDF for $3. I know the answer is probably quite obvious (especially as it also sells Penguin Lectures for $4), but I wanted to be sure: This site is probably a piracy website, isn't it...

You're right, of course :) Looking forward to it!

Really good deal, man! There's just a little bit of a change in rhythm, but nothing another few hours won't fix :) That said, I would have enjoyed hearing the deal as well; as you know, the cards can whisper some things to the careful listener, especially with a strike deal! Other than that it...

Just to add to what Maaz Hasan has said: Of course there's no formula for how long cards will last you. It depends heavily on how much you use them, what you do with them etc. For example, I give my Bees a life span of ~ 2 - 4 weeks. That's about how long it takes to get to the point at which...

Thanks for the help! But one thing that makes it even a little bit more complicated is that he doesn't show routines, but techniques; for example, original methods of stud bottom dealing, beating the cut etc. These are things that wouldn't be exposed, but done in a way not detectable by the...

I agree with Maaz, a lot of questions come up if you want to formulate clear guidelines for this problem, and Maaz has done a very good job of outlining some of these difficulties. Without having thought a lot about this, these are two guidelines that popped into my mind: 1. If you buy...

And in one short sentence Corey Harris managed to distill what we all said in these posts. Oh, yeah ... thanks. Feel kinda stupid now.

Thank you :-)

I agree with Mr_ARPY. You don't necessarily need large hands to muck, it's enough to know the angles well enough to be able to hide the card even if it shows on one side of the hand. It's just one of these things you have to practice with the mirror to get it right. I second the Father Alex...

I know I'm gonna take some heat for this, but I think that this is a "trick" (correct technical term ... ?) for which you can safely consult YouTube. There are some good tutorials on there (from 52kards, for example), and you should be able to do it (badly) in a few minutes, if you mind all the...

As for how to get used to the cards in your hands, as many people have already said, just do one thing over and over again. For me it was the in-the-hands riffle shuffle with bridge ending; I learned it first because it looks so cool and it's generally good to be able to shuffle cards well. I...

" "The attention span seems to have grown pretty short." This isn't incorrect, but it's somewhat misleading. I hold people's attention no problem - and my style is not flashy in the slightest. I'm a story teller, I intrigue them with a narrative that they take part of. I...

I second the Jason England video download, the guy is incredibly skilled and able to teach it very well, easy to follow and in-depth. As additional resource you might want to have a look at the Daniel Madison bottom deal Masterclass; though the man isn't very popular around here I've heard some...

Hi you all, Lately I've been reading up on the punch deal. It seems like a really good idea (which Marlo's performance confirms), but I still have some questions I haven't found aswered yet. No. 1: How reliable is it? In his performance Marlo calls the hand he'll deal himself before dealing. But...

And to think that he himself is actually unhappy with his performance on there ... I want to know how his moves look when he does them "right"! I guess we'll talk at the latest when there's more to find about the book, so see you then!

Of course I will. See ya soon, hopefully!

Every few weeks I do a google search to see if there's anything new, and I still haven't found anything. Getting kind of nervous here! Honestly, I don't care about the signatures (of course that's only until I get the option of actually getting them). But I want all this information so bad...
