If you look at what the classic pass was invented for, it is irreplaceable. The classic pass was developed as a way to negate a cut at a card table, a way to return your stock to the top or bottom of the deck after another player cuts the cards. There is really nothing else that can do...

thanks baby.

You obviously haven't learnt the duck change. There is one weak angle, which can be easily fixed, and i'd prefer to have that weak angle rather than the discrepancy of the corners changing in the shapeshifter. And I can land my duck change 100%. You just have to practice, which apparently a...

The duck change can replace the shapeshifter if you can make it consistent enough. It's pretty angle proof.

the way that this thread is going in its definition of "advanced", I'd have to say that the break is the most advanced sleight. To apply it perfectly and invisibly would take so much understanding, audience management, timing, and misdirection. And that's what the audience notices a lot of...

i'm not certain about this, but i'm pretty sure you can get "Expert at the Card Table" by S. W. Erdnase in Italian. And since the author of the "Card College" series, Roberto Giobbi, is Italian, I'd assume it's in Italian as well. Those 2 should be more than enough.

first off, why in all hell would you perform for other magicians? you shouldn't. that's just stupid. secondly, there's nothing wrong with the double undercut. if there was, it wouldn't be taught. if done properly, people shouldn't expect anything. it's just the massive break that most people...

yes, you're right.

no problem. i've never heard of the book you mentioned, but i'll be sure to look into it sometimes. Some tricks I'd recommend: -Here then there http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bpIcz8UjA9M (if you can double lift, and have a duplicate card, you should be able to do this trick) -3 card...

i thought it was invented to be done at the card table, right after you replaced the cards from cutting, whether the rest of the players are burning your hands or not?

i would strongly recommend against learning anything magic related all from youtube tutorials. most of them are just plain rubbish. Also, if you've only been doing magic for a week, I don't think it's a good idea for you to start learning the pass. Start to get all the basics down, like...

First off, congratulations for taking an interest in magic. A few questions: how long have you been doing magic? How long have you been practicing the pass for? What source are you learning the pass from? I ask the first question and second questions, because if you haven't been into magic for...

I love the look of this effect and am seriously considering getting it. But my goodness, this thread is just absolutely ridiculous. To all you people who think it's too obvious: -Do you use double lifts? well you shouldn't. they're crap. I'm not fooled by them, so you shouldn't do them...

Australian pricing beats Norwegian pricing, as praetoritevong knows. Theres some places here that sell Bridge sized bikes for $15. And people actually buy them.

if you're getting the trilogy and surfaced, you are going to be practicing. a lot.

do original moves include variations?

Hey guys, thanks heap for the help yeah i'm asian, and my hands are pitifully small. my middle finger, from the base to the tip is exactly 15cm, the same size or smaller then a lot of girls my age. it's kind of annoying. at the moment, i'm using an australian $1 coin, which is the tiniest...

that's awesome. hopefully brisbane picks up sometime. do you know if there are going to be any IBM meetings anytime soon in australia?

hey man, you're based in sydney, aren't you? what's the magic community like there? cos up here in Brisbane, we've got close to nothing. I know about 2 other people here who are true magicians.

so i'm getting into basic coin sleights, and am using a variety of different coins of different sizes, trying to get a good feel for them. is there a good benchmark to choose size of coins for? like a width of hand/width of coin ratio or something? or should i just go with as big as possible?
