Hey, just wondering if anyone knows any good resources for learning some pen magic. I've never done anything like this before, no pen magic or cigarette magic etc and am therefore a complete novice :D so preferably nothing too difficult for a beginner. Reason I'm asking is that I've started...

Uh oh, misread that at first...:rolleyes: Magic? Whenever I get a free moment, I whip out a deck of cards. I sit there in lessons casually palming and unpalming coins. There are loads of opportunities and you'll find even more if you don't limit yourself to cards. Cards are banned at my...

To be honest, the patter didn't seem to have much to do with the trick and it had an unnatural discrepancy in it. With enough patter and build up, it might be quite nice but I feel that if somebody saw this, they'd just say 'Yeah, you took the card out and hid it, big wow.' Sorry, it's my honest...

Said it before, will say it again. These are brilliant. There's genuinely no good reason why you shouldn't sign up for this. Trust me. Do it. Ok Lee, now where's that money you offered me to post this?

To be honest, the first thing I thought when I saw the video was 'What is that hand doing, the one holding the deck?' I was immediately suspicious, and whilst the effect still fooled me, I knew it wasn't magic. Sorry, I'm with Tyler on this one.

Yes, I think everyone's had this at some point. There are already quite a lot of threads on this, though. Try going on the search function and typing 'hecklers' or something like that. You should get quite a lot of threads.

Just a suggestion (and I've never tried this, it's an idea that sprung to mind so don't kill me if it doesn't work) if instead of a table, you get the spectator to hold their arms out, parallel to each other and at 90 degrees to their body and put the cards on that. You could pass it off as a...

Pfft, you're just sore because you have trouble with the 'move'.

You mean you haven't practiced it to a point of perfection but are already showing it? I know it's quite easy with the gimmicked version but what about presentation? Have you found an excuse to reach into your pocket to ditch the dupe baby yet, for example? Didn't think so. I'm ashamed, I...

Ha, didn't even realize there was a palm. Just goes to show..

A deck of cards (occasionally two), a sharpie, pendrive, almost new biro and my house key (can't imagine why...)!

Sorry, Nexus got my vote because it was just so different. R.K, very nice but there was nothing new about it. Don't get me wrong, you did it well, it just wasn't at all special. Sorry.

White_Lynx got the vote from me that time. Whilst I liked them both, White_Lynx seemed to make it get more impossible each time, which is always good. Also, the way he fairly showed the pile on top of the AoS was an improvement. Finally, it seemed better rehearsed. He knew exactly what he was...

They were both very good. In the end I voted for G:: purely because the whole thing seemed so much more atmospheric and magical. Even though the trick was less flashy and visual, it came across as impossible. Just my thoughts.

Derren Brown, purely because he's one of the only magicians I can watch and not be trying to work out the method in my mind. Says ALOT about his presentation.

The man's right! Drat, why didn't I think of this one? I will have revenge, Cardistry77, I will have revenge...!

5Speed Sybil the Trick could probably count as this (Both of the above are Chris Kenner - TOoC for anyone not in the know).

My favourite? Snap change purely because it's fun to practice and looks amazingly fair. The one I use most? Shapeshifter due to practicality.

That's how I read it as well. If in doubt though, you could probably email Fullboatdealer and ask him if that's what he meant.

You do know that they sell them to make money, don't you? A shop isn't going to stop you buying all of it's products just because somebody else might want some, a shop is going to try and sell as many as quickly as possible. Theory11 isn't here to give you whatever you want, it's here to make...
