Great tips guys. I use the bluff explanations from time to time. Depends on the trick. I'll surely be using tashfiq1993's idea about the camera tricks and MoonlightKnight's plagiarism line. As for Chase's ideas, you have some strong points but it doesn't really fit my style. I'll change it...

Any tips that are NOT shown on XB? The XB ones are good but I'd like to have a few more up my sleeveless shirt...

What do you do when you drop a card, or two, or a few, or even the whole deck? Do you just shake it off and pick all the cards up without a word? Do you have a witty remark? Do you have a fancy way of gathering up all the cards? Please share your ideas. I would love to read them. Cheers, Shanku

So I've just finished my small performance and a spectator asks me, "teach me a trick!" Obviously I'm not going to give any material away so what should I do? What is your response to that question? I'll throw in another question to save some time and space: What's your response to the...

I hate spectators who constantly say: "Do that trick that [insert TV magician name here] does... you know... the one where he throws the cards on the window and my one's stuck on the other side... Oh yeah, can you do that one where he pulls the burger out of the picture and takes a bite and puts...

No problems guys. If you want any other backs done like this then just send me a high res unedited scan (preferably around 600dpi in PNG format) of the back of the playing card on an odd coloured surface. For example, a white card on a green background. Try and get the most centered print one...

High Resolution Bicycle Backs [UPDATED] Hey guys, I was going to make a wallpaper for my desktop but I needed some high-res pics of backs. Since I couldn't find any decent ones on the 'net I had to make them myself. I scanned a single red Rider back card and photoshopped them into these. I...

You can also get the performance only DVD's that show you how the moves look like in real time and also some combos you can apply.

Jeff McBride - Art of Of Card Manipulation series... Particularly volume 2.

Thank god this isn't another discussion about whether this art should be called Cardistry or XCM. :D In my opinion, small, quick and flashy flourishes can be optional in a magical performance. You don't want to be doing armspreads and aerial catches (unless it's a revelation like a hot-shot...

Richard has a one card flourish tutorial somewhere in the media section. Also check out Jonas' Flutter and Gatsuuga tutorials on YouTube. You could also check out Richard's Vortex Sequence and replicate that. They're basically Jerry's X cuts while spinning them creating some sort of...

That's pretty cool. Did you make it yourself? It would be great for a marked deck...

What about the people who speak little to no English? How would they feel? I think more emphasis should have been put on finger positions instead of adding language... Just my opinion.

That's because De'vo considers XCM his religion. He dedicates so much time (practically his whole life) to XCM so it is pretty logical that he would hold this upon his offspring if he even has any...

It's true - No joke...

What browser are you using?

Maybe a shoe repair shop? There always seems to be a shoe repair shop in small towns. They might have rubber cement. Just go into any store that looks like it might have a craft supply or repair kit of some sort and ask if they have rubber cement. Good luck, Shanku

Danny goes over the clean up in the vid. Are you sure you watched the whole section? Also, Mxtt's idea for a follow up is what I was just about to suggest... You could alternatively give it out as a souvenir if you had it signed and do a regular deck trick...

They teach the Thumb Cut in Xtreme Beginnerz for a reason... :D

Yep, and apparently they keep them in tip top condition for a lot longer than having them without a porper. I don't have one but that's what I've heard. Let me know your opinion when you buy it.
