    Card Press

    Thx. I was going to avoid the crystal one because I thought it was a knock off, but Penguin Magic sells quality :) That's generally what I do.

    Card Press

    So I recently came across a video on YouTube by "Fernandop1 - Art Zone Productions" (who has actually created some nice magic that I have stumbled across every year or two) which was explaining some untouched parts about gaffing (printing on paper, making blank cards), along with the classic...

    When should I buy a new deck ?

    I' ve never used them, but for practicing, you could try using a manipulation deck. They are only the 2 thin layers instead of the regular 3.

    Fake/Computer Generated Magic vs "Real" Magic

    That's interesting because I almost always make an emotional reaction to someone no matter how minor it is. Even if that reaction is just a little bit of pure child-like wonder, which is my favorite reaction to instill. In the end, as long as I ca tell a story, or instill some emotion, I feel...

    Fake/Computer Generated Magic vs "Real" Magic

    You could say that about any form of art. I mean, I could draw a beautiful picture that has no meaning, or I could draw the simplest picture ever and put a ton of meaning into it, couldn't I?

    What is the best marked deck?

    I've never used it, but if your willing to pay the price, and spend the time learning to unfocus your eyes, the Juice marking system is great. Basically, you take the "Juice" formula and put it onto the card. You can then read it when you unfocus your eyes. You can make markings with it, or you...

    Fake/Computer Generated Magic vs "Real" Magic

    Is magic not meaningful? I always look at Magic as the connection with your audience, not the effect. After all, the magic is in the presentation, not the effect, and the presentation relies on the connection with the audience.

    Fake/Computer Generated Magic vs "Real" Magic

    So, in response to what you guys have said, can the "camera magic" be called magic? Lets call camera magic an art. Is camera magic the same art as real magic, or is it something else, similar to mix between an optical illusion and a street hustle? In the example with Zach King, King almost...

    Fake/Computer Generated Magic vs "Real" Magic

    So a while ago, I read an article about how most of Criss Angel's work was computer generated. I mean, obviously the cutting people in half in public, floating in the middle of the desert, etc. were fake, but a lot more of his stuff was also apparently fake. Now, I would really like to know how...

    When should I buy a new deck ?

    Haha that is so true. I practiced the fold so much after buying a new deck.

    When should I buy a new deck ?

    I would suggest buying a new deck, or a brick. If Bikes are working fine for you, perfect, buy a brick, or a 4 pack or whatever you want. Make sure you break in your cards to have them last the longest and perform perfectly! I personally experimented with different decks to find which one I...

    Bicycle vs Tally vs Bee

    They do not use the same finish or stock. The Tallys use a Linoid finish which is significantly more slippery than the air-cushioned finish of the Bicycles (out of the box). The #9 stock for Tallys is also thicker than the #808 of the Bikes. In a brand new deck, you can even visibally see this...

    Library Magic?

    The Dewy Decimal Code for Magic is 793.8 Try searching with that, because library searches aren't always the best, especially when your subject is a commonly used adjective that shows up in titles. I wasn't hardcore about magic back when I lived in Philly (because I was still a kid/early teen...

    Protect the History of Magic [Help?]

    Jay Sankey goes over how he made the CN Tower vanish! Here is the normal one from his YouTube channel (Just as a heads up, there is some profane language): Here is the directors cut, also on his channel (almost the same thing, but more in depth. Still has some profane language) : He also...

    Or maybe it is Alfresco, which means flying or aerial I believe (don't quote me on that).
