    Card to?

    I usually love card to mouth more than pocket, it can go in so many ways. The obvious gag one in acr or shove it all the way with a Mercury fold. Or why not get the card to somewhere more personal for the spectator, maybe thier bag or something so it seems even more impossible.

    Secrets Within T11 Decks

    Go for the NPH deck, that was a really fun puzzle to solve and the prizes at the end are things I will have on display for a long time. I still have a few decks sealed. But they are beautiful designs as well.

    That one in 52 chance...

    If I'm having them sign a card I will almost always try to take it out before they choose. "Just think of a card that represents you as a person" the hit rate with ladies picking a queen of hearts or diamonds is amazing. If I'm wrong with the suite they never care they just see the queen and...
