Oh I almost forgot, the Phoenix Marked Deck is amazing as well, and can easily pass as a classic Deck.

Np It is a marked deck, but is very easy to read once you practice reading it

There are plenty of good marked decks out there. The MINT decks by 52Kards is my favorite, but I also like the Kings by E. I've also heard great things about David Blaine's White Lions. You could also get a reader. The Ultimate Marked deck, the Red Keepers, and the Vintage 1800's marked deck by...

If you haven't seen it yet, check out the "EDGE 52" Course on 52kards.com It has the basis for the whole marking system, along with a lot of other things. Asad shows you the skills he uses to read the deck, and it helped me a lot. Basically, you just need to take a couple glances and then look...

Actually, the worst part about performing to your family is having douche bags in your family. My uncle (who is a complete and utter piece of trash) brought his whole extended family to stop over at my family's tiny town house for a week. I lent him my room, and lo and behold, he somehow found...

Fair enough :)

That is 100% True, but why is this specifically a debate? Its like saying "Hey, I don't like the colour blue." and arguing over the usage of a colour.

Honestly, you can just choose if you want to use cardistry/flourishes, or not. I mean, it helps some acts, but doesn't work for others. I know some people who will choose to use cardistry and incorporate it within their act, because it fits their style. However, there are people who cannot use...

Well first off, a cotton ball can only have such a small amount of sulfur that its probably safe. Second, what if you were to find out how many cotton balls you would need, and glue them to one side of some plastic wrap. Then, put the cotton-balls into the purse so that the plastic wrap doesn't...

Quick Question: Is this the same control you taught on Asad's 52kards channel, or is it a different move? Thx.

So I'm assuming I'm the only "impressionable magician" in the conversation at the moment, as I am only 16. That being said, I have numerous reasons to take things away from magic. Firstly, Ramsay has helped me realize what my performing style is/will become. I am almost the complete opposite of...

Why not just use some cotton balls instead?

I've heard that rust-oleum isn't that good, and have thus avoided buying it, even though it's cheap. Does it work? Also, by the invisible deck not aligning, do you mean at the sides and top, or as in it wont stick perfectly, causing the card to sort of bend away from each other. If it is the...

My sister doesn't give 2 pieces of lint for magic. However, she does respect the "magicians code", or atleast doesn't care enough to go around revealing my tricks. As a result, I do the trick to her after practicing, and then show her any new move, and ask her to critique it. Helped me with the...

Ha, you read me like a book. I saw this debate go on for over 10 pages on various forums. Thx for the help everyone :) Btw, has anyone tried Science Friction or the Roughing Stick, and do you recommend it.

Before I say anything, can we all take a moment to acknowledge in awe as to how there has not been a discussion on this on the TXI forums yet (or atleast nothing came up when I searched for it)? Anyways, I've always wondered which roughing fluid works the best, or even if there is any...

Np. Thx for the help though.

I'm don't generally use either of those extensively., I think the person who started this thread is who you are referring to. I was just trying to learn the difference between a mind reading and cold reading. To my understanding, a cold reading is when you state facts and try and show that you...

ChristopherT oh thx. I had heard cold reading and mind reading used interchangeably, so I assumed they meant the same thing. I'll keep that in mind for the future. Sorry for the confusion :)

No, he just taught a version. I do think he credits the person he got the one specific move he uses.
