Thanks!

So I've been wanting to buy Stars of Magic (the book) for a while. However, I am looking at all of the listings, and I see things like "Dai Vernon Volume 5" or "Paul Harris Volume 4". I always thought there was 1 book with a ton of routines in them (which were originally pamphlets)? So if I were...

Good luck everybody!

Mark Wilson's Complete Course is great for all around. If you have the Royal Road, you can milk any effect in there and make it crazy and in the hands, so that shouldn't be too much of a problem. Expert Card Technique has a lot of info in it. Look into some of Marlo's works. If you are...

It sounds really cool, but there are a couple flaws I see. I'll PM you, to avoid exposure and stuff.

Looks like the cover for a book, or the poster for a movie! If this were being auctioned, I would buy it... if I had the money, and actually attended an auction for paintings but NEVERTHELESS!

This is a great Idea! I will be using it. Actually, this also works! Say I do it 3 times, and have the 3 cards in my right pocket. I can then just right hand cop them and continue with the same effect.

Yeah, it is a great book, but I don't think it's easy to jump from Royal Road to Erdnase, simply because Erdnase needs to be read differently. It is definitely more of an advanced book. If you get an annotated version, it'll be a lot easier though, but still not beginner - intermediate level.

Here is a list I made on another post recently (with a couple changes). This also has other stuff on it, but I bolded the major categories. Cards For basic sleight of hand, A Great place to start is The Royal Road to Card Magic. It is a great beginner source. It will work you up from the very...

What type of Magic do you want to learn? Card, Coins, Stage, all around, mentalism, sponge balls, etc. And why can't it be similar to the Royal Road? The Royal Road is the basics. A lot of things will stem from it.

I still think this is unnecessary but ok.

Thanks! This is what I think I need to do. My only concern is that if I perform with it again without resetting, they might say the same card again, but if that were the case, I could probably do something different(eg. They say 7 of hearts, I do the trick with the other 3 7s).

I've got some questions about the Advocate. I've been practicing with it for a while, but am wondering what the best way to reset it is? I think I should just do it at the end of a performance, when no one's looking, but it may be possible to sneak the card back in? PM me, to avoid exposure.

So @starting_up , any update?

Meh It just seems like you are doing all the shuffles and controls you know for no apparent reason. After the first 1 or 2, maybe even 3 shuffles, the spectators will loose interest, and even get suspicious. It's honestly not that good of a trick in it's current state. You need to shuffle the...

I love the Spread Cull, Classic pass, and the Bluff pass. I also enjoy using a cop or palm as a control.

Happy birthday! Slydini was one of the magicians that got me crazy about magic. I was already into magic before it, But when I ran across old Slydini videos, my mind was blown.

Notice how there isn't a phone in the uncut performance either....

I've seen this mentioned a few times. Is the Finger Palm just a Rear Palm but more relaxed and with your ring finger curled in holding the card in place? Also, is a Rear Palm the same thing as a Rear Flat Palm? I understand they are taught in Exxpert Card Technique, as Well as Revolutionary...

Yeah, but that's more of a Q & A. I mean, there are forums dedicated to each product, but you wont find more than 5 discussions on most products.
