Vague, Thanks for the question! The tuck case for the JAQK Cellars Playing Cards is made from imported French paper, not the stock. The stock is top of the line, and straight from USPCC - guaranteeing high quality feel and finish.

Keep in mind guys that Stud Playing Cards also have a Linen Finish, and if you are by a Walgreens you know how Studs feel. They feel pretty much like the old Arrcos and last for a very long time, as said by multiple magicians I have talked to about Studs. You guys definitely won't want to pass...

These new JAQK Playing cards being released tonight are not one way backs. ;)

Indeed. You never know when something like will happen. It is truly a blessing to be able to share your joy and happiness for what you love with other people. It definitely makes me feel accomplished and wanting to perform a lot more. And Prae, it's nice to see you again on the boards! :)

Craig, Awesome response. No one could have said it better! I know a magician who was being shown things at Dean Dill's shop, and Dean was performing all sorts of different magic that blew him away. He simply asked one question, "Where did you learn that?" and he replied "Everything you saw is...

These cards are going to be priced much lower than the ones on the JAQK Cellars website. You guys are going to love these! They feel superb for magic AND flourishing. :)

I LOVE the look of these, especially the face cards and without the border. With a bit of tweaking on the back design to make it stand out more, it would look stunning.

Get in front of a mirror and watch your hand. Also, make sure you aren't focusing purely on your left hand by staring at it while you place the object in. If you are still having trouble by flashing a tiny bit, I suggest making eye contact before you put it in your hand. The audience sees out...

I would say to start off with palming first, as it is a universal technique that everyone should at least learn for gambling or magic related sleights. Then, I would head into the shuffles. False shuffles are also universal for magic and gambling alike. After, do deals. Start off with...

If you do both magic and flourishing, Cambric is the way to go. Smooth finish is mainly for flourishing as the cards hold together well. But if you have magic in mind, smooth finish cards clump easily. Also, smooth finish on cards makes fanning and usage go down super quick. I would suggest the...

Also, because you are performing for an elderly audience as well as younger people, make sure the tricks you use have props that can be easily seen by everyone. Also, make the effects simple so everyone can understand what is happening. The Dresscode idea works perfectly as it is quick, visual...

Camera cut at the beginning, anyone? The music used could ONLY be used for the CCC2011, as it is copyrighted music. I suggest you take this video down due to copyright reasons.

Thanks for posting this Zach! I still had a couple of questions about this year's EMC as it would be my first "convention" so to speak. Very glad this answered all of the remaining ones I had.

I do appreciate all of those qualities as a Cardist myself. It comes to terms of personal preference. If you are a layman, then a card is a card and a deck is a deck. They all treat them the same. But I said "At the end of the day" because that's what it REALLY is at the end of the day. To some...

I was talking about a Jerry's Nugget deck, not other decks. Here is the quote: "At the end of the day, I'd only pay a couple of bucks for a Jerry's Nugget, not hundreds." Even a couple of bucks is how much a Custom Deck of t11 cards cost. $4.95 - $5.95. Not that much at all when compared to...

At the end of the day, I'd only pay a couple of bucks for a Jerry's Nugget, not hundreds. It's just paper and cardboard; it doesn't matter if it was specially printed. A deck is a deck. A playing card is a playing card. I could live my whole life without owning a deck of JNs.

My point was to have him read from the book. It's good to have a visual source but eventually he will have to learn from books by themselves.

All he will find is performances of the "new" Sybil Triumph that Dan and Dave shared. All it was, was Hollingworth's Triumph with a Sybil flourish at the end. Also, people on YouTube don't perform the other phase because they do not have the book. My suggestion is practice as you read it. What's...

Dani offers a brilliant cleanup on his Fat Brothers 2 DVD, which teaches his Open Triumph. If you see the Sloppy Shuffle Triumph download here on theory11, you will get sort of how the clean up works once you get the download. It is well worth it. I perform this triumph any chance I get, as well...
