Marc DeSouza will be doing an online lecture sponsored by the Society of American Magicians on Thursday night at 7:00 pm EST. It will be free to all magicians worldwide, whether you are a member or not. The lecture starts at 7:00 pm. You will have to answer a question to gain admittance, but...

That is my only complaint about Mark Wilson's Complete Course in Magic -- that he always tells you to point at the hand where the object isn't. Don't. Point. Ever.

Check out Walt Anthony's Tales of Enchantment.

Do you have any gaff cards - double back, double face, split face, blank face, blank back?

Do you have a Genii subscription? What resources - books, DVDs, etc. do you have?

It's taught on the DVD "52 Shades of Red", version 3 of which is available from many magic dealers. We don't reveal methods and don't direct people to learn material from people other than the person that created the effect.

Very well done. My critiques are designed to push really good into perfect. Most of my critiques are related to making unnecessary gestures and slowing down the tempo when you are making certain moves to match the tempo throughout the rest of the routine. For the gestures, you are running...

I think there are some pretty good tricks in Royal Road including Designed for Laughter, Intuition with Cards and Ewephindit. Are they extraordinary.... some could be with the right presentation. But back then, everybody played cards -- be it poker, blackjack or canasta. Royal Road was...

I had the opportunity to see Bill lecture at Marc DiSouza's house a couple of years ago. It is a great lecture that you don't want to miss.

I believe that this is the "Short Version" of Tamariz's Escorial-76 which appears in the out of print book Sonata. I can tell you that this isn't self-working or mathematical. Other than that, we don't reveal magic methods here on the forum. I'm glad that you enjoyed the performance of one of...

Are you talking dealing Ace through King of the same suit consecutively? There are many effects that have the dealing of all the cards in a suit that as part of them. What was done before and after the dealing of all of the cards of the same suit? Are the cards all in a row or are they dealt...

@Chief2112 That looks great! I remember A-Treat soda, but not the wooden crates -- in the 1980s it was plastic crates that you would return with the empties. You might have to explain what cassette tapes are too... I chuckle when I see old routines using things like VHS tapes. I think I...

It will. If it doesn't, make sure the deck is square, puta little more upward pressure with your thumb on the deck during the shuffle, make the short card shorter -- trying each of those in order to see if the problem if fixed. Magically? All that is answered in Encyclopedia of Card Tricks...

Welcome to T11 and the forums! I have a couple of questions that will help us point you in the right direction: 1. How long have you been performing magic and how long have you been performing mentalism? 2. What resources (books, DVDs, downloads, effects) do you already have? 3. What...

Awesome performance. Thank you for sharing.

So, I decided to make a video response and show you what I could fit into a backpack: A couple of notes. I misidentified the Vanishing Bandana trick as the Yellow Bandana trick and the book for the Okito Box routine that I couldn't remember was the Aretology of Vanni Bossi. I'm working on...

@JoshL8 I don't think anyone is advocating to raise the cost of magic to price out people based on financial status or to put any obstacles up to prohibit financially disadvantaged people from learning magic. I know @scottbaird and @WitchDocIsIn and that isn't the type of people they are. What...

We are all given equal power to make our dreams come true. That power is determination and drive. Everyone has different obstacles to overcome and yes, some obstacles are greater than others. There is another great quote from Richard Bach's book - "Argue your limitations and they are yours to...

Giobbi's Card College does that. I have coin magic books that do that. As I've said in other posts, exposure only hurts those who learn through YouTube. If you delve into magic's secrets, you will find methods that are not exposed. Want to keep a secret.... publish it in a book. As...

There is a great section on Short Cards in Encyclopedia of Card Tricks. The Expert at the Card Table contains material on the crimp. Both are available as part of the Learned Pig Project at lybrary.com. The best resource is Greater Magic (which is out of print and a bit expensive) which...
