Here is an old essay I wrote on the subject that was posted on another forum..... Most people wouldn’t peg me for a “Cardist”, “XCMer”, or whatever term you want to ascribe to the modern wave of flourishing. If nothing else my age (mid thirties) would tend to type cast me among the “Red Backed...

I do not know if he has any physical copies left though I am pretty sure you can get the DL version...like all his other PDFs. He took a swing a few years back and started getting back to his origins(ie. stuff that could be used at a card table) and Anthology pretty much covers most of his work...

The reviews seemed to indicate that "Ghost Story" was one of the most terrifying plays brought to the London Stage. I think that most would agree that truly scaring people is a much more difficult prospect in a stage play than on the big screen. How did your work as a magician, mentalist, and...

The quote that kicked this off comes from Jamie Grant. He has one of the best answers to this question I have ever heard. You can read his whole comment here. I can only speak from my own experience. I am technically an amateur but I do between 20-30 parlor gigs a year and I do 10 - 20...

My understanding on finish is that most of the big USPCC partners(T11, E, ect) hold enough clout that they can reserve a coating just for their cards. Thus, you wouldn't be able to print on the T11 finish at any price. My understanding is that the Magic Finish is the "high quality" finish that...

Do robots with bad English ever entice anyone to click on their sites?

The general rule of thumb is that after 50 years you can teach a move or concept. There are probably a few exceptions to that. The Key card is a pretty old concept so you should be fine. Anything younger, especially specific moves with a name attached, you should try to get permission first. Now...

I'm proud to announce my first official interview on my website and, best of all, it is with Jamie D. Grant! Jamie just released the "Vault" card clip which many are saying is the most original card clip design since Joe Porper came up with the idea in the first place. I think when you see it...

Just fully completed this review. I wound up giving it 3.5 stars....I had mixed feelings on this one for reasons that are described in the final thoughts.

Congratulations Sean! I know this was a lot of hard work for you. I hope this helps you launch your career in graphic arts. Cheers, Erik

If you had stopped right there I would have thought you were talking about all Magic promo trailers! Heck, Lenart Green of all people just released a trailer with all of the above. Worst part of it....at the end of the trailer you are left scratching your head thinking, "Now....what the heck is...

I haven't been this excited about an "accessory" in a long time. LOL

I just got the e-mail From Dan&Dave! Too Bad it was April Fools :( Oh well....at least it gave me an excuse to pass it on to all of you ;)

Yep...It's Andy Nyman

Here is a guide I put together on this topic. http://www.custom-playing-card.com/buyers-guide.html

Just adding my "ditto" This is a great effect and lots of fun to practice.

I was just about to recommend something like what you just did...however I would put that image on top of the water color.

On a personal level I have enough respect for Matt La Vore, DiceR, Mr. Browning, Cedric and all the others on this thread to feel that we can have this discussion here. Matt is probably right, in that, there are professional hypnotists who make a living doing this stuff at the Magic Cafe'. I...
