You can find the book over at PenguinMagic... Cheers, Shanku

Are you serious? I'm not even serious about card counting but I can count down a deck in 30-40 seconds. I was expecting you to get down to the 20's or 30's as you seem so serious about this. The best way to get anywhere with counting is with a team. Using more advanced systems to get out that...

Do you know perfect basic strategy? If you are using the Hi-Lo system, can you convert to true count? Do you know how to vary your bet correctly? If you know how to count the values of the cards but don't know these three essential things, YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO COUNT CARDS; YOU SIMPLY KNOW HOW...

He has a few tricks/sleights scattered throughout magazines but I think that's it. Someone said he's not into magic anymore...

That's if the people of the 21st century still believe in the true definition of "magic". If you do a J5 followed by a Triumph routine (I don't know why you would, though) and there's no flashy moves in your Triumph like a one-handed shuffle or something, they'll appreciate the fact that you're...

I said "as much as he wants"... This does not mean the magician has to show skill and dexterity for everything single he does. What I meant was that he often shows more skill and dexterity than an average person would. A card cheat would want to look like an average person just getting lucky. A...

This applies solely if you are a card cheat. A magician, however, may display as much dexterity and skill as he wants and even more so for the flourisher.

I don't know any sources that teach it in dept but basically what you do is watch as a couple of aces and/or high cards are scooped up by the dealer and placed in the discard thingy. Keep in mind where abouts it is. When the dealer takes all the cards out of the discard thingy, keep looking at...

I couldn't have said that better myself. What the hell were you thinking peeps? Grammy's for a magic website? Maybe if it was a real (you know, physical - like with real people and stuff) then there might be the "grammy's" but on an internet website? Jeez, get a grip on reality dudes.

$10 is the maximum I'd pay per deck of any kind. $100+ for a deck "the pros" use is not worth it. Sure, they last longer than regular decks but for, say, $120, I can get about 48 decks of Tally Ho cards shipped to my house in Australia. That would last longer than a deck of Jerry's Nuggets for...

Ribbon spread and turnover...

By the way, they're not real Jerry's Nuggets. They're basically the Jerry's Nugget back design on Bicycle Stock.

Wayne Houchin has a signed card to bag effect called "Indecent" if you really need a signed card to bag...

You'll need a much bigger scan than that if you want to get it printed clearly.

"Emotional Intelligence" by Luke Jermay is pretty good as you are a mentalist/card kinda guy. You can find it over at Penguin Magic.

Although I love Danny's effects, I have to agree with the above post. This is the only Garcia effect that I would NOT recommend.

I agree. The laymen are not going to be like "OMFG! You gotz da Jerryz Nuggetz BRO, u r Da 1337zzzxorz!!!" They'll probably be like: "Get the other card back. This one is UGLY." :rolleyes:

Check my sig for some high-res scans...

Reversed Black Ghosts? You mean, like, REGULAR Ghosts?:D I doubt they will release these though. Just get Black Split Spades; it's basically the same effect.

Isn't it 13 packets?
