    Saturday Night Contest - Create A Flourish!

    Question: I just looked up the Z-Grip. It looks to be all you need to do is start by making the deck look like a 'Z'. Does it NEED to be with two hands? I can make a 'Z' with one hand and I want to see if this is legal for the contest. Only reason I'm asking is I was in the ER this week for...

    Best Card Color Change ?

    I had the option about a month ago to learn Clipshift or Mechanics Shift for my go-to color change.` Both are one handed and impressive in their own right. I ended going with Mechanics Shift because it looks a LOT more natural looking and lends itself to a lot of performance applications...

    Taking A Break

    I think it's absolutely frustrating not knowing what kind of magic to do. There's a lot out there and can be absolutely overwhelming just thinking about what you would want to do. Now, unless you're already on break, I have a question: WHO do you want to perform for? Kids? Adults...

    Tips for tutorials!

    Honestly, you need to ask more specific questions for 'personal tips' First of all, are you shooting a magic tutorial? Cardistry tutorial? Asking about cameras to use for shooting? Best angles to shoot for? Best way to teach a tutorial video? What music to use? Title card? What are you...

    Why Is Magic Important To You?

    My twins brought be back into magic. I can't remember exactly why I got into magic when I was 10. But I was in a bad place when my kids brought me back in at 30. It was all due to a home science kit that touted itself as 'wizard science'. vinegar and baking powder explosions, glow in the dark...

    The Problem With a Five Star Review

    Just remembered this. The Air Force rating system was (not sure if the new system before I got out fixed it entirely) VERY similar to the 5 star rating system. Seriously. Except in that case, getting a '4' could result in not making higher ranks way down the road (if you had a '4' within 10...

    The Problem With a Five Star Review

    On the other side of the coin; while the reviews chosen are respectful to the artist, I don't see how these examples steer potential customers towards a purchase (all of these are on the front page of The Wire): 'Pretty interesting flourish and it's fun to play around with.' 'Excellent trick...

    The Problem With a Five Star Review

    As far as this site goes, I think there's a couple problems with the star rating system: 1) There needs to be at least a 50 word minimum for giving any sort of review whatsoever. I think this would cut down on a lot of the negative/positive 'fluff' ratings that are passed out so freely. 2)...

    Memory Magic

    @ChristopherT That's the kind of stuff I'm looking for! I thought of the idea after I heard of someone in Guiness Book of World Records memorizing the order of 49 decks and making only ONE mistake (but quickly corrected himself). I figure ONE deck should be a breeze--at least, in comparison...

    Cardistry with a deeper meaning

    Two videos in the media section have 'Cardistry with a deeper meaning' in the short description of their videos. Which brings me to a question: What DOES give cardistry a deeper meaning? Is it the music? Is it the speed of the flouris(es)? Is it something different or hasn't been done yet?

    A horse of a different color

    I have a children's hospital show and two strolling routine in the works that are all purely prop-magic. To make the challenge more interesting (and mentally easier for me to manage), I'm using only tricks from one company: Tenyo. If you haven't looked up prop magic (or Tenyo, for that matter)...

    Memory Magic

    I was thinking the other day about tricks that don't involve any physical gimmicks and I thought of a crazy idea that sounds feasible, but would take a lot of time working on. The result is this question: I figure this has already been done in some capacity, but is there a trick out there...
