Just my thoughts- Don't listen to the guys telling you not to bother with the pass. Sooner or later you will want one. They are right in saying that there are many better methods for controlling a single card but sometimes you want to keep control of the entire deck. Personally I do "The big...

Best reaction from French Kiss.....EVER! ROLF

Wow! You earned points from me. Again I apologize for my rant but I frequent forums on both subjects and see both as worthwhile persuits in their own right. To the OP: I can't help you with that specific card but I can say, check out Brooke Michaels Poker world from time to time...

Find out ASAP what that venue is. That way you will have plenty of time to prepare. Always go prepared for walkaround cause you never know what will get sprung on you at the last minute....

http://forums.theory11.com/showthread.php?30984-Playing-Card-Buyers-Guide I continually try to answer that myself. My guess is that USPCC currently has 1/2 a dozen stocks available and from there it is a matter on what finish is used, what press is used, and what quality controls are used on...

Get off your high horse kid. I'd like to point out to you, as I have before on this forum, that because T11 sells custom cards this forum gets visited by many card collectors. One of which, a nice elderly lady who is an avid collector, lobbied a complaint about how difficult it was to ask...

Okay for beginners but after a while you will want contols that don't appear as if you manipulate the deck after the card is "lost" For that reason to the OP I say: Classic Pass Convincing Control Diagonal Palm Shift Side Steal Nowhere Pass Illusion Control Losing Control Clip Shift(though I...

@ Formula: That's totally understandable. Trying to give you the best info I can. I personally swear by 605s but they have a thickness, stiffness, and finish that blends perfectly for the in-hands card magic I do(tabled stuff I swear by aristocrats) but because of their price I am always...

I certainly didn't put as much thought into it as you but I too felt it was rubbish. I just kind of laughed it off. Perhaps I'm jaded. It is an effect created by a creator. That is not a good thing IMO. But I see so much of it these days. In the last 10 years there has been a rise of...

I believe the actual context, or thrust of his argument, is to add more mental effects to magic, as opposed to adding more magic to mentalism. His focus in these opening chapters is to be open to challenging your spectators and he argues that mind reading effects are an excellent way to do this...

My question is....do you like the 505s? If so, save up and get a brick. It drops the cost by almost $2.50 / pack. Just a thought... Also....by this point in your magic I am sure that you know whether you like a stiffer or softer card. If you are not in to stiff cards, and I mean stiffer than...

I'll probably get ripped for stating the two most obvious but....Practical Mental Magic and 13 Steps to Mentalism both have sections on mentalism with cards. Some effects are mental magic, some are mentalism. I think "mind or muscle" would be a great opener for a set of mentalism with cards...

Sorry...That quote was from Derren Brown. It is in his book Absolute Magic. Sorry I forgot to mention the source.

Looks like you already have Fournier 505s. I don't have the 505s but from what I am told the difference between 605s and 505s would be similar to the difference between a Richard Turner gold seal and a standard bee card...ie. it's all in the precision of the cut. 605s will outlast about any...

Interesting quote that is quite different from what most of you are saying...

I'd like to see the ninjas selected before you bury the card back into the deck. Seems more magical that way. I like the plot though.

I am not even suggestion doing an actual cold deck. But for demonstration purposes doing any color changing deck and calling it a cold deck will work. Follow it up with and obviously stacked hand and I think it will play great. I definitely think some sort of shell game or three card monte would...
