The deed has been done.

That is the next book on my list.

I'm not familiar with any magic tricks that use a pinochle deck...I don't see the point because of all the double cards.

I guess you deal with it :P The magic comes from you; not the prop.

When I got my first "custom" deck of cards my mentor told me: "Don't use them on layman. They are going to suspect gaffed cards." He believed that the spectators were more comfortable and less likely to suspect a trick deck if you use a standard pack of cards. I've even had people suspect by...

I was out at dinner one night with my girlfriend and I pulled out a deck of cards and left it on the table. I just asked her to name a card, any card at all. She named the King of Spades. So I took out the deck from its case, and on top of the deck was the King of Spades. No one was more...

Nice one, sir. That gave me a good laugh! Tyler, the trick that I use that I think comes closest to this is "Kollosal Killer" by Kenton Knepper. The card is named, and you remove it from your wallet. It is just that simple. http://www.penguinmagic.com/p/S16464 I was also watching a Eugene...

My first journey into magic happened when I was very young; after watching a David Copperfield special. That man has a beautiful take on magic, and I was captivated. I eventually grew out of it and then fell back in love with it in college. My boss at the restaurant I worked at was an amateur...

My Citizens just came in the mail, and after opening them up I can tell you that they are amazing. But this is to be expected from Theory 11; their cards are above industry standards. They handle just as beautifully as Monarchs, if not better. They look amazing, and even the box is impeccably...

The cups and balls encompass many techniques in magic. Therefore, If you take the time to learn these techniques properly then you can adapt them to your other forms of magic. You don't have to learn it if you don't want to. You should always have an interest in something before forcing yourself...

It is sort of a rite of passage for magicians to know how to do the cups and balls, as it incorporates many of the magic theories in one routine. I have a cheap aluminium set that has been serving me well the past year and a bit, but eventually I want to get a nice copper set. Take Mr.Book's...

You should check out Jason England's video on what to read. Its free, and his advice is sound. I always recommend Royal Road to Card Magic; it is such a great book. Make sure to read everything in it, not just the tricks and sleights. I personally loved The Magic Book by Harry Lorayne. I got...

Citizens are still pretty new so it would hard to determine how long they last. It's also kinda subjective because it depends on how well you treat your cards.

Interesting...You gave me something to think about. Thanks for the tip!

Do the tricks from Mnemonica still work with that altered stack?

You're welcome!

In my research I have found this: "There are ten theories of magic. Production, vanish, transportation, transformation, multiplication, penetration, restoration, levitation, escapes, and mentalism. theory11 is the 11th theory of magic (also 11 original artists when the website first...

It took me less than 2 days to learn the mnemonica stack. I broke it down into 4 groups of 13 at first.I learned half the deck in one day, and the rest the next day. After that I would review it before going to bed, and then doing it the first thing in the morning. It seems challenging but it is...
