    Library Magic?

    Exactly, cutting down on exposure. Does anyone know how to make 10 years of overdue fees disappear?

    New Video from my buddy

    @TylerScottIllusionist I think we are agreeing more than we disagree. 1. I want people to be more unique and have original content rather than just be knock off Wayne Houchins or Blake Vogts. I don't think there is anything inherently wrong with performing effects people have released to the...

    Good books

    Check out Paul Harris' Art of Astonishment. Start with Volume 1 and if you like it, get the other two.

    When should I buy a new deck ?

    The best part is that when you are done with a deck, you can practice Mecury's Card Fold.

    New Video from my buddy

    I agree... to an extent. I still hope those people who are innovative and have a body of work from years of experience put it to paper and share it with us. I love the recent books of material by Vanni Bossi, Gaetan Bloom, Tomas Blomberg, Roy Walton and John Lovick as well as the historical...

    Protect the History of Magic [Help?]

    Jim Steinmeyer's book Hiding the Elephant discusses the creation of a number of effects. It is a great book to read. You might find this interesting, it is the link for Jim Steinmeyer's patent for Op Art. There were a number of articles written for Genii Magazine over the last year or so...

    Question

    Get the book Royal Road to Card Magic and a fine tipped sharpie. Read until around page 201 in the book. Decide on your favorite card and write it on the inside of your finger. Do what is explained on page 201 through 210 (or on page 110 or page 193). Then do what he does in the video.

    Question

    What I think is really cool is that your description of the effect could be 10 different effects. 1. Spectator picks a card from a face down deck, looks at the card and then turns it over to see it is the only card that has its name written on the back. The reveal of the name is done by...

    Don't forget Bannon's Play it Straight Triumph. It is in Impossibilia (OOP but available as an e-book from L&L), Shufflin' (OOP), Six.Impossible.Things (OOP) and in High Caliber.

    The Deal Change

    Several problems: 1. Releasing the side of the deck with the fingers in unnatural. 2. Sliding off the double and spliting it is too difficult, it is easier to hand the double when it is aligned with the deck 3. Your right hand is changing direction in what it is doing -- around the deck and...

    Triumph

    The cleanest is using a Cheek to Cheek deck. I think that I've told the story how Cristian Engbloom floored a room full of magicians using that and a Cooler. It is worth learning Dai Vernon's original. I like Paul Harris's Unshuffling Rebecca. Dani DaOrtiz has a nice version too on one of...

    What is the best marked deck?

    I guess my post above wasn't clear. My understanding is that you can't get The Code in Rider Back and that is a deal breaker for me. I love Andy's work and think that The Code is diabolical. If it was in Rider Back, I'd agree with you that it would be the better choice. I like the symbols on...

    New Video from my buddy

    I'm in no way mad about any of the points you've made. In fact, I don't recall the points you've made. I was just responding to you post which seemed a bit rude to me. I'm just encouraging you to join in the discussion with an open mind, rather than declaring the discussion at an end and...

    Name of the gaffed deck

    Welcome to the forums. We don't reveal other magician's secrets here or give you names that allow you to search the internet for videos that reveal the effect. The deck is most likely is the deck described in Greater Magic on page 531. You could also use the deck described on page 253 of...

    What is the best marked deck?

    The Ultimate Marked Deck works like a regular marked deck. The same as the Code would when it is shuffled.

    Actually, from a rhetorical perspective, a debate is just a structured form of argument. Argument is the process of explaining and supporting your position with the purpose of having people agree with you. An argument can be contained in a debate, a speech, a position paper or even an internet...

    What is the best marked deck?

    Sorry, I was a little vague. I should have said that The Code doesn't provide any advantage over a typical marked deck if it is shuffled.
