I've got the handling for a billiard ball if you are interested.

Engineers are trained to pay attention, test variables and seek cause and effect relationships. There are two ways to approach engineers. The first is to walk them down a path toward a method and then disprove it. This is very well explained in Tamariz's The Magic Way. The second is to...

"Worker."

It is lso in the Paper Engine and the Search and Destroy DVD. Aaron is great... there are few magicians that are so entertaining that they can take 45 minutes to teach something that should take 5 minutes and you don't even notice. I love his story about Jennings and Vernon.

What @ChristopherT said. Word for word.

I use old card the to teach my dog magic tricks. She has gotten really good at finding a selected card, doing a tongue palm and the first half of a chewed and restored card routine.

Absent getting into a stack through a series of faro shuffles from new deck order, it is impossible to get into a full deck stack in a performance. In that case, the best method is a deck switch. For getting a couple of cards positioned, you can use a cull. It is possible to do this under the...
