    Trick Clean-up Ranking System

    Well, as far as IP routines go - mostly, they do end clean, it's just dirty in the middle, so it's not really dirty in clean-up per se. I think you're going the wrong way with dirty, as Dima mentioned - Sloppy/Dirty are pretty much the same thing right now. It's just a given that the spectator...

    ★★★★★ // {bulletin} // :: PROPAGANDA : UNVEILED

    The colour of cards may not affect them consciously but much thought has been given to the psychology behind colours and also the notion of familiarity which cm763 mentioned. For example, (and I forgot where I first heard this) the notion that red is a more 'shocking' colour than blue. I guess...

    My Big Deck Order

    I remember when SM first came out, everyone was bashing the **** out of SM. I could count on the fingers of one hand the people who defended it. Now of course everyone's turned heel - typical.

    Has anyone seen this?

    And not all of it can be done with a borrowed ring if memory serves. There's an old thread on this, dig it up if you're interested.

    Making blank cards?

    You can use wire wool to rub the pips off the cards. Never actually tried it, but I've seen it work. It'll take quite a number of days to do an entire deck, though.

    Hard-Hitting Effects

    I'm going to keep posting this in every single thread of this type I find. I posted this before, and it's always the same. Here's an idea. Look for them yourself, find the ones that work for yourself, and make them "hard hitting"! In all honestly, looking for the shortcut by asking for "best...

    Sticky Cards

    And the award for the most pointless, tryhard, useless and failed attempt to be witty post goes to.. Being in India, in a way, there's not a whole lot you can do considering the climate, especially in Summer and stuff. Your best bet would be to perform/practice in cool, dry, air conditioned...

    Full suit

    Do you need to do anything with it? Think about it a little - you could talk about how in some card games, spades is the strongest suit, then go into a gambling demonstration. You could create a kicker ending where the entire deck does into new deck order. Lots of things you could do - or just...

    Wynns - Kardwell

    Kardwell has the most ridiculous shipping I've ever seen. Wanted to charge me minimum $60 to ship a brick of cards. Get out... Of course that's cause I'm in Australia. I'm not sure why you don't trust Fullboatdealer - I would simply add that I've bought from him, and he is trustworthy by every...

    Lennart Green?

    Wait, wait. So without actually having watched any of the others, you're relegating them to unworthy status? This forum gets more and more ridiculous members daily.

    Did I make a good purchase?

    It's ok, he was joking, surely. The DVDs from what I know are all good purchases - I'm more concerned that you've bought so much at once rather than anything else. But yes, good products.

    I only want the Panic gimmick

    That's exactly right. Email Customer Service with your receipt or order number and they'll sort you out.

    Card Across

    Yeah, it'll probably take more than a month, I'm not surprised. It's a really hard move, very knacky. Try delving into flourishing, look into ace productions - many of them involve a card from the bottom of the deck, I'm sure you could adapt something from that.

    Centurions vs. Guardians?

    I prefer the Centurion design to be honest.

    New Sandwich Effect

    Patter obviously needs work, but it's new so that's cool. Interesting application for the winter change, but it needs to look more like a wave. Wave before you take the card, and take the change card mid-wave whilst drawing the other card back. Also, you need motivation to put it halfway out...

    lost and found

    It's the Winter Change, and I think it could be performed better - otherwise, the rest of it was confident, well done. Ok, Winter Change: Hold the change card lower, and spread your fingers. Take the change card while you pull back the top card, and try to do it a little quicker. But the actual...

    "Grayscale" card trick

    No, it doesn't have to be. I can certainly think of methods in any case, although I didn't bother trying to figure this out. What I will say though is that you need to get a lot more fluid with the effect. It may be very clever, but at the moment, you have a long way to go before you reach...

    What would you do?

    If I didn't have magic, I'd... Well, I'd still be me. If anything, the rest of my life influences my magic more than my magic influences my life. I love it, and it's a massive hobby, but I wouldn't stop being me if I didn't have it. If they were stolen, I'd lament, then start buying them again...
