Nothing. I just break 'em in and they are used as long as they can be used, and that's about it.

I would tell them you are working on some new materials that's quite amazing so you would like to work on those for the time being. It gives you time to work on new materials and also gives you a bit of time off with justified reasons.

You guys just don't understand him. That was probably his way of marking his cards in impromptu settings. Huei Xiang actually picking the card supports the hypothesis.

I also think Winter Change is a good one. Ego change is the most overused change that I use... Then twirl change. I use old ones because they never really failed me to this point, yep. Last thing that comes to mind is the Impulse Change.

Practice the sleight, when you are comfortable with it, then practice it in your head. Afterward, practice some more. Then go out and perform. Of course, things do go wrong, but that's just part of the learning process.

I do find strange that the best reaction from color change for me is generally 1. suit stayed the same and the value change is minimal (i.e. 2 to 3/ 7 to 8) or 2. just suit changing (value stays the same) regardless of the color. Granted red to black makes shocking visual, however black to black...

I think TnR in general uses gimmicks, and due to the nature of the trick. That's about only thing that pops up to my mind... I have splitted cards before, and if it is just to make double backers or double facers, the time isn't worth it. Of course, depending on the effect you might have to. I...

Magic is not dying. There is no problem. There is no spoon. Now go see the oracle.

I think Pirate Stab by Oz Pearlman is a good one. I guess it's not so much the usual card stab theme, but I think if you want some sort of a kicker ending, this could be good.

Looks like he already has a shell, so why not use it. Yes, Personal Safe does use shell. I personally don't believe routine has to be hard to be good. I think CoinOne was another one that uses shell, but I'm not too sure on that one. I don't have a shell, so I don't look for those...

I have trouble with consistency as well. Then again, I just don't practice this move enough...

Sleight wise, it is not any different than the original mercury. Application wise, this is fantastic idea.

David WIlliamson's Magic Farm has some beautiful tips on top change. I think you might want to check it out.

I personally don't like Wynn. Their stiffness last long time, they don't warp as well, those are pro or con depending on what you are trying to do with them. However, they are not closest thing to Jerry, although I can't be sure about Red or Blue, but Brown definitely isn't. It wasn't worth the...

I can tell you it works, just because of the fact it works. There are a lot of things in magic that seems like they won't work and it somehow works, which is scary until you actually do it yourself couple of times.... However, my preferred method of force is Riffle Force compared to the hindu force.

Could be my climate, but the cards warp like no other. If you think guardians and centurions warp like crazy, you haven't seen STuds in Wal Green yet... I use Studs to practice perfect faro, just because these for whatever the reason handles best for that, but for other purposes, it's just...

Biddle Trick & Triumph are I daresay two of the musts. Aside from them, pretty much everything others have said. I also think Search and Destroy by Aaron Fisher is a good one. p.s. I prefer Triumphs that has kickers in the end like David Williamson's or Daniel Garcia's. It might be something...

A deck of card (no preference in particular) and matching old duplicates (added in and out as needed since I usually have at least 6) A sharpie Rubber Bands Either English Penny or Half Dollar If available, double backer (if that's the case, I carry double facer as well)

I am kind of confused. I mean Double Undercut, isn't that already capable of controlling card to the top and considered one of the best for practical purposes as well? I'll just go along with everyone else Swing-Swivel Cut control from Born to Perform by Oz Pearlman was pretty good, in...

John Guasteffero's Triumph routine. If you haven't seen it, this is a killer effect. Two card monte's been getting some good reactions, and my only current coin routine, coin that falls up.
