Try not buckling it as much. If you need more help, I'm sure someone here focuses a lot on tabled sleights and has experience with the Erdnase bottom deal. In fact, @FunkyBottoms and @Gabriel Z. might know exactly what to do.

You could try experimenting with different deals. However, if you already have the deal down, I wouldn't want to change it. Let me ask you this: Are you using an older, worn in, practice deck? Chances are that with a newer deck, especially a broken in one, you wont get the crimp. Otherwise...

A) Quicker Deals B) Easier False Deals, especially with the grip I am practicing C) More cover for those false deals D) Sailing cards E) Less movement F) It looks better

Just a quick update, I've gotten this using nothing but a high polymer eraser (not finished yet, but just to show you guys). This was a fully colored, full size Bicycle Joker from a slightly used deck, but one that was still in good condition and with newer finish...

Yeah I agree. However, if you want to absolutely have the effect happen where they are still holding it an it is in there sights, you could try this. Have the dull sharpie just kind of clipped between your thumb and palm in the hand you don't hold a deck with (I will refer to it as the right...

So is it like 1 video with a ton of quick moves in it? Or a series of videos lasting a couple seconds or something.

Sometimes I just get sick of magic. After a ton of practice and stuff, I would get frustrated. Other times, I just don't want to perform after doing a ton of performances. I think it is perfectly fine if you just kin of leave it be for a bit. Put your cards down and don't bother practicing. It...

Yeah, that could work to, but I think I might just do the 2nd one I said up there. It would be kinda weird for the spectators to seeme put a card on the bottom only to take it back off. Not to mention, I probably wont have the deck for too long in between the trick, as the effect happens in...

So before I even got into magic, I saw a video by DisturbReality teaching a trick called Pulse. Though I have long since abandoned his channel (because A. His videos aren't even good or correct most of the time, and B. He falls under the category of Exposers out there, not to mention C. I found...

Yeah. I mean, the spring and the moves like the sombrero where you do crazy aerials with the cards will be the ones that attract most attention at first.

You can try and incorporate a bit of both. If you want to focus on magic, learn and perform some flourishes, and just play around with them on the off beat when you're talking to someone. Some flourishes are actually made to be useful in magic. There is so much stuff you can do with a fan, and...

Ha! Thanks!

lol. I just kinda skimmed over your post because it wasn't directly affecting me. Sorrynotsorry ;)

I've spent a while using a quality eraser to get the ink off of a joker, and it feels like at least 80% of the finish is still there (of the parts I am erasing). And if I'm only using a couple swipes of the Nail polish remover, it wont take off too much finish (I tested this yesterday to see if...

I kinda made it up on my own by testing the limits of a few changes, and kinda combining that with a card throwing move. I'm gonna play around with it a lot more, but I do plan on releasing it for free in the future. Oh, and this one allows you to throw the card to a spectator 5 - 10 ft away.

First off, I think the best thing to do would really be the casual approach, as you said. Just switch it in front of them. The specifics for this: I do an original trick (or the reinvention of one without my knowledge of the first one existing) where a back design of a deck changes color in the...

Uhh. Yeah, pretty much. Though not specifically that, but overall, yes.

Oh, 1 more that I really like. A tabled change known as the Circle Change, created by Marlo & D'Amico, shown in Revolutionary Card Technique. It utilizes a table palm.

I'm looking for a way to switch a single card in a stand up/walk around scenario where I don't have a table. I nee to switch it out in between tricks, as I talk, so it can't look to mechanical. I also cannot use the deck for the switch.

Oh yeah, for sure, but that doesn't mean every trick on YouTube is seen. But at the same time, these tricks wont be exposed by the YouTuber's whom I am talking about in my post (the second group, the ones I suggest people actually do pay attention to), nor would a serious student of magic...
