I'm much the same way. I always carry cards/coins etc. Usually the kids are asking to see something or want me to show their friends something. I don't have much in the way of "gospel" magic (I haven't found much that is not super cheesy to be honest), Although I may use a trick to...

There are certain effects that used a marked card. These can sometimes be done using a oneway deck like the guardians. Certain poker deals/tricks can utilize this feature as well with out having to 'mark' a card. J

Heh, someone today just asked me to do a trick for them and my cards were in the car. So I asked if they had a business card and did stigmata for them. It's been a while since Ive done it. What a great effect! (And under 30ish) J

Ah of course! I totally have that too! Thanks for the reminder! J

Hey just wondering something simple and clever to use my Guardian double backed card for. Any ideas? What are your favorites? Thanks, Justin

I noticed the site was down for quite a while...

I wouldn't hold it against them if they did a "second edition". Preferably with regular thickness of cards and a smoother finish (My old bikes still fan better than the new guardians sadly). When you do a run of cards, you have to run off a whole bunch. Once those are sold then you can make...

I don't think its a one-way back because of the off-center printing. I believe it is something else about the design (From what I can see in the pictures). j

I think it would be more interesting to ask WHY as well. For instance, one could say that it is important for a magician to learn the 2 card Monte (for example) because it teaches them audience control. I'd be interested why people think these are important. j

heh, is that you?

How about this guys double one handed fan at the start of this clip? http://decknique.net/videos/content/441_Right_Now.wmv :eek: j

I think it looks pretty bad. I googled it and areview on penguin came up: https://www.penguinmagic.com/discuss/viewtopic.php?t=135422&sid=3d8cace9835f713a8170afab85d35874 Sounds like one to leave alone. There are many more interesting torn and restored out there other than this. Justin

I'm a regular bikes kinda guy. I'd rather people not even think for even a moment about trick decks. J

To be honest, I haven't learned any effects using the muscle pass, but I use it in a coin vanish/production routine and it works very well. I'm interested to look into some of the things mentioned here. J

I'm not really a coin guy, but I do Gregory Wilson's coin stuff from On the Spot. Very fun stuff. J

Yea, spending the time reading through Bobo's MCM opened my eyes to hundreds of possibilities of coin magic. Fantastic J

Invisible deck is probably my first choice because of all the possible routines you can do, and the fact that it hits so hard. Then Stigmata, just simply because it is so easy to do, and you can really do it anywhere, anytime. The routines taught are very strong and get great reactions. J

The back to front palm is quite tricky because the angles are tougher. It's worth learning well, but not necessary. It's not something you are going to use much. J

Of course thier shopping cart crashed once I ordered...

Very well done gentlemen. I enjoyed the hunt. All the best you your success! Justin
