So what do you think of Svengali decks? It is extremely close to exposing the method.

I do respect Brian Tudor a lot, just for the record.

it's a art form, ya dumb motherf*****s.

create your own material.

How do you guys ascertain the colour when you're doing full deck practice?

it is indeed one of the most fun things in magic that I've had the pleasure of practicing.

but it's not sleight of hand ^^

it is a balance...

if you count all the pips, you get 364. the first joker is 365, and the second joker is 366, for a leap year.

If you're taking an interest in stacked/memorized decks, Tamariz's Mnemonica is an excellent source. But that's just what it is. Specifically prearrranged, memorized sequences in a deck of cards. As previously stated, a mnemonic deck order doesn't necessarily use mnemonics, strangely enough...

It's so hard to think like a layman once you've been exposed to magic. Ideas are good. This is a very strange topic, I don't think once a person starts magic, they actively think, "now which hand will I use as to not arouse suspicion?" Even most right handed laymen favor the left hand as...

as long as it doesn't turn into throwing insults, arguing is good. It makes people think. Which, contrary to popular belief is good. Good for you for being different, but teenagers really do deserve the stereotype they've been given.

If you break down the pass, while the top hand does a lot more than people initially think, the base hand still does a majority of the work. The main thing I got from that podcast is that the pass should be "seen and not heard". From that, my confidence with the pass skyrocketed. They suspect...

Top change: -literally angle proof -single card -doesn't need cover -done away from the deck -can be done in spectators hands -can't be backtracked by spectators Double lift: -literally angle proof -easy -can be done in spectators hands -doesn't need cover Duck change: -visual...

What pass method do you use. Anyway, if you really the audience would suspect, let alone detect you doing anything due to what hand you're using, I would really like to see how you construct your routines.

John Carney addresses this. He is right handed, but he handles cards like a left hander. His reasoning is that the base hand does a lot more work. In a pass, if you're base hand is the left hand, the left hand does 90% of the work, the right hand just lifted. If you're doing a non strike...

he's right for >95% of teenagers.

I like being dramatic. Theatre is kind of my thing. But really, I don't think that in every case, the teacher in question is out to get you. Rules are in place for a reason. Instead of going up against the teachers with witty remarks, or crying about them on your forums, go and ask why the...

"they are not opened but the cellophane has ripped due to age" be very very careful with this one.
