LOL. That's brilliant.

Haha. I was just planning to use them as a mental exercise - name their numbers and so forth. And then I actually looked at the cards, and frowned.

nikhilg: All tally-ho means is, alright so you've apologised, but apologies by themselves don't do anything in this case. Ultimately, it's your magic that suffers. I do appreciate that you've apologised - but it's now up to you to make good on that apology and genuinely learn from it, and to...

And can you do either of them? And can he? Didn't think so.

And many lols were had.

The plan for my next post (following this one): A list of people who haven't read the thread.

Well... Yes... Immediately... Ish... It's not as easy as that per se, but if done well, it's clean enough that it's not an issue, or at least not to arouse suspicion or with any unreasonable delay. Put it this way - after doing the change, you can promptly hand the cards out for inspection.

The blue split spades deck comes in a full deck stack called Mnemonica. That's really weird, I just noticed something. You're not actually missing 6 random cards, believe it or not. Those six cards you're missing happen to be the first six cards of the stack. Number 1 is the 4 of Clubs, 2 is...

I'll give you a lantern signed by Jonathan Rhys Meyers, a coupon for a free pizza, 397 goats, and reveal my real name.

Thanks for all the replies guys. I think I'll use an idea Sean mentioned. Incidentally, Infinity is awesome, and I prefer it over breather. In case anyone else is interested, the method I came up with myself would simply be to riffle force with a short card. I guess the only aversion I would...

Pughes' is definitely easier.

Ah that's awesome dude, nice going... Good luck with your shows and stuff. I've never performed magic in big theatres, but I've performed in various productions in similar spaces.

Oh that's an awesome idea Zapper, will definitely field test it. Might I ask what Prime Cut is? I'll google it now...

I've just been discussing both those methods with a friend. With psychological things, I'm normally not one to insist on 100% success rate - unfortunately, I do plan to close a show with this so I'd like to hit it on this special occasion. Also, CUT works technically - but the spectator also...

Hey guys, I just had an idea tonight that I need some help with. What I'm looking for is this: a way to force the spectator to cut to a predetermined number of cards in the deck between 15 and 37. Doesn't matter how it's done, but it needs to be surefire, and I need to be able to know that they...

At this point in my magic state, shall we say, I'm content to study less known material, and make my own routines and presentations for them, and personalise magic that way. That said, I do have one or two created effects; these are generally only when I have an idea for an out of the box effect...

Well, personally, I just go out and study something completely different, and fry spectators with something classic or out of the box. But maybe that's just me.

Don't forget The Queens from Trilogy, lol. Yeah probably Portal and GOAT, I'd agree with that.

There was a post not too long ago comparing the three different threads - the Mesika, the PET I think it was, and the Silkwork (2nd might be my brain acting up), with various pros and cons. Some are stronger than others, but strength generally means more visibility also.

They're not too hard to pick up, but it will take a fair bit of practice to get the culls looking smooth and normal - it has a lot to do with rhythm, as Kostya explains very well. It sounds like you'll benefit from it. It won't take you years, but definitely some decent practice to get it as...
