David Pedersen has a video up on Dealers Grip that has L-Cut tips, but if you want to learn it directly from the source, check out Jerry Cestkowski's book Encyclopedia of Playing Card Flourishes.

I thought hand size would matter in terms of learning the basic cuts and the fundamentals of cardistry. It doesn't. I have really small hands and I thought it would be near impossible to do all the crazy stuff I see Andrei do. Once I met Andrei in person I found out that we have the exact same...

What Josh said about originality is definitely a key factor in getting your effect published on The Wire. As it is right now, the method you are using has already been published before. As a standalone sandwich effect, I don't think it would be approved for originality reasons. Like Josh...

Hey guys, hope everyone is having a great start to the weekend! If you caught this week's episode of Expose, you would know that this year's Academy Awards (The Oscars) will be hosted by Neil Patrick Harris, who not only is an amazing actor but has been a fan of magic since his childhood. NPH...

Hey Ranko, If you have the HD Streaming option, you can still download the video to your computer. You will find a download link on the left side of the My Videos Section. See below link to an image screenshot showing where that is. You can right click on that Download button, then select Save...

Hey jgabor, This is an interesting situation, because I had almost the same experience when I was in high school. I originally did magic at school to not get bored like you mentioned. Whenever I would finish my work I would just practice at my desk to keep myself busy. I got pinned as the magic...

Hey Bryant, I don't see why you shouldn't try it if it worked out for you before. Just follow the same procedure as you did your regular Rider Backs and you should be fine. If you freeze it, let us know if it helped the problem. -Casey

When we say touching or editing, it means any type of photoshopping or editing that compromises the integrity of the photo. Let's say you were to edit out something in the photo to make it look like an object was levitating. That is not acceptable for an optical illusion, because if I were to...

Earlier this week, we featured Richard Wiseman's newest optical illusion in our Media Section. The illusion itself will have you scratching your head, but the secret behind it is even more amazing. We were so impressed by this illusion that we had to use that as inspiration for this week's...

Exactly this! Another thing I want to add is that if they are expecting a magician, they still do not know what kind of magic you do or what you are going to perform; there is still more work to do even though an audience is expecting a magician. I wouldn't call it "proving who you are" so to...

Alright guys, the results are in! After taking the time going through all of the submissions, we have come down to a winner. So, let's get right into the results! The criteria was to make your fake method creative, while also making it ridiculous, crazy, outside-the-box, and laughable. So, with...

This past Wednesday, we released Counterfeit by Wayne Houchin - one of the most powerful, practical torn and restored effects ever released. Counterfeit was inspired by Guy Hollingworth's performance on The World's Greatest Magic television special in 1996. Wayne was 14 years old at the time...

The Contraband deck..... ;)
