Does anyone have trouble getting the right "condition" of hands when handling cards? As in, when they're really clean, which I like to have mine so the cards don't get dirty, they're really slippery and very hard to get a grip on them. Same goes for dry hands. Sometimes, too sticky is just too...

True, unless it's for one person while standing up. x_X

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GzpjioWFMdQ&feature=channel_page This took me many, many tries to get it to look this decent. I don't usually do a pass this well. And sorry for the quality, it was taken with my cellphone at work. Also, I had to do it a bit fast, I had to keep the file size...

Thank you, my good sir. I'll be reading that.

Not as in like doing tricks, but like a general "background" of things. Something like what a card magician should and should not do. Maybe a brief history and what really is about. How to practice and how much to practice.. Stuff like that.

*shrugs* The ones from the 1800s?

Bicycle. I've been using them for quite a while since they're the most common cards everywhere, I've grown into them, they're a bit flimsy compared to every single other deck that I've bought. And I've tried nearly pretty much every single deck in both Ellusionist and theory11. As for...

Wow, a standard Bicycle deck becomes useless to me in a week. XD I'm pretty new in card magic and I usually have them in my hand at work(I have an office job) and sometimes at home. I'm pretty wasteful with cards, if my fans clump together, I usually get a new deck. I save them for card...

I'll try not to reveal as much as possible, it's impromptu, but a card is freely chosen by the spectator. Controlled, then glided into a packet of cards, with you asking "Is this your card?" a few times. Then having them slap the packet. I'm kind of just starting out card magic for people...

No, mine are way skinny, lenghtwise, it's fine, but in skinniness, it's not normal. If I flatten my fingers, there are a few holes in which you can see through them not matter how hard press them on each other, therefore, palming and backpalming is very noticeable, the cards stick out and you...

I had a 2 of hearts with it's back off printed by a little bit, I used it to my advantage.

Thanks for the help and message, much appreciated.

Thanks for the reply guys. Also, any tips for people with skinny fingers? I hate having skinny fingers because I can't palm or hide cards. Ugh. x_X

Hi, I just recently joined this community and I'm pretty new to card magic. I've been interested in magic since I was young and I'm not just really getting into it, bought a few decks and such, I can do quite a few flourishes and tricks. Anyway, what are the best brands of cards to do tricks...
