I can only speak for myself but it helped me a lot to carefully observe other card handlers. For me it was mostly Steve Forte (I'm more into gambling moves than "real" card magic). I watched the GPS tapes over and over, trying to figure out why the moves look so good in Steve's hands. Maybe...

Switch decks during practice. Use one deck for 2-3 days and then but it away and use another one for 2-3 days. Then pick up the first deck again and so on. You can keep three or four decks on rotation if it doesn't work with two for you. A positive side effect of this is that you get used to...

Practice. It helps if you're confident at riffle stacking.

How do you know that it's the "exact" move if you didn't read the original source? Personally, I'd rather like to learn a move right instead of fast. I just found it funny that BlindDeception gives advice on "the most difficult and elegant card moves" if the only sources he knows are...

So you dismiss books because you find them hard to learn from, yet you talk about how much you love challenges? To quote you again: How can you give a beginner such an advise? You're telling him that Shin Lim has the most elegant and hardest card moves? How can you even make such a claim after...

If it just feels awkward it will go away with practice. Like with every move, start slow. I mean really slow: - Do the first swing cut Pause and check if you're holding the packet in a proper mechanics grip (adjust if needed) - Do the second swing cut, but only up to the point where you lift...

I'd really love to see your card work. A self acclaimed move monkey that tackles only the hardest and most elegant moves, yet he recommends Ellusionist Daniel Madison DVD's and Shin Lim, surely gotta be some fine card work. Btw. I asked you a question in the other thread. Do you hold the deck...

Make sure that you turn off any of the picture styles in your camera. The built in picture styles mess with the contrast and colors of your raw footage and make it difficult for you to grade your footage in post. Those picture styles are for people that don't have a software for grading. Most...

Unfortunately you gave us very minimal information. What kind of videos do you want to publish on your channel? VLog-videos? Live performance videos? Performance videos just for the camera? Cardistry videos? Shortfilms and if so, comedy or more serious stuff? All of those different types of...

Hi, I strongly recommend you to check out Jason Englands video on "What to read" (and when to read it): https://store.theory11.com/products/what-to-read-jason-england it's free, so you can check it out immediatly. In agreement with Jason's recommendations: get yourself a copy of "Royal Road...

That's great! Thanks for the update. Although it's nothing about the dashboard, but I'd welcome a "Verified Purchase" (like amazon) tag for the reviews. I know the reviews are moderated but so many times I've seen reviews that make me wonder if the person that wrote it actually bought the...

Hey, Are there currently any plans on adding additional features to the artist dashboard? I would love to have a few more stats to work with. For example how many people viewed the product page compared to the actual sold units. Or some sort of information about "People that bought your...

I guess there aren't enough threads about this already. http://forums.theory11.com/showthread.php?8111-Flourishes http://forums.theory11.com/showthread.php?2693-What-s-the-coolest-flourish-EVER http://forums.theory11.com/showthread.php?192-What-is-your-favorite-flourish...

Jason, very clean seconds, even from the back angle. They look a bit "forced" (for lack of a better term) to me though. I would love to see them from a front on angle. I love playing around with the technique myself. I wasn't expecting the ending of the riffle stacking bit, you got me...

Thank you @ Magic swag.

Hey, Four years ago I made a video called "Expert at the Card Table in Motion". Although it didn't get much views I received alot of nice comments from people that I look up to, including the buck twins. I was never really satisfied with the quality of the video which was mainly due my lack of...

Cameron, I'm just stupid enough to point it out in public. Most people that feel that way about him simply don't bother to waste any words. But if someone seeks out for help and gets recommended Madison as a first instance, I just have to say something about it. I can't help it. I'll send you...

Do you mean the bio that changed like 5-6 times over the course of 7 years? Wrong. That's exactly what he is advertising with his mechanic dvd. His bottom deal grip (rip off from gene maze) is inferior to the original technique, just an example. The necktie he does during second dealing...

Because "Boomer Scripps" asked for material on cheating. Madison does magic tricks. Naming your material "How to cheat at cards" doesn't make you an expert in this field. I've seen his stuff and I've seen alot of stuff from the people I named above aswell. My conclusion is that people shouldn't...

"Poker Protection" by Steve Forte. The "Gambling Protection Series" (DVD) also by Forte is certainly a good resource aswell. Not sure why someone like Daniel Madison gets recommended here when it comes to material on cheating but Steve Forte, Richard Turner, Darwin Ortiz should be the guys to...
