    Advanced Sleight learning plan

    Yeah, completely agree. And one more advice: even if you can't do the move you want to learn, don't be unsettled, you just need to be patient. In 1 (2, 3) month(s), try to do that move again - and you can find that you can do it. It's all about your practicing process and the time it takes. For...

    Derren Brown - Subway Amnesia

    Old video, it's just pure mentalism.

    Whats Your Deck?

    I like to use standard Bicycles and Bicycle 125 (in performance and practicing). Classic. Don't like to "kill" expensive decks on practicing and performance, they're just for me.

    Burning

    Yes, the best selection in this category of tricks, definitely. Also, check out Jay Sankey's Carbon Paper (also taught on Wayne Houchin's Art of Magic).

    And one more advice: if you can't execute the cut, it doesn't mean that you're doing or learning it wrong :) It's just everything comes with time.

    Signed Coin Through Window

    Can one of the methods be applied to the deck of cards?

    Anger

    Another "screw Criss Angel" thread. Man, we know that most of us hate him :) Why create another thread about it?

    I suggest you to buy Andrei Jikh's Genesis vol.1, he teaches basic cuts (Revolution, Charlier, Thumb and etc), fans and little flourishes. Flexibility comes with practice. The more you repeat doing something, the more flexibility, speed and precision you will get. You can check finger exercises...

    How to facilitate sleight of hand

    Try to use another deck with different finish, and I don't reccoment you to use any kind of "super powders". You must rely only on the deck quality and your skills, not on ability of using some sort of additional helping.

    Card trick i created

    Does this trick use any kind of force? If does not, that is sweet.

    Lapse Daniel Madison

    Well done, liked the handling. My handling is the exact same as in DVD and his book ("One", if I'm not mistaken). It's when the spectator tells you when to stop when you riffle through the pack, and he finds the card that was in your pocket. I like this version more, but your is awesome, too.

    Riffle shuffle control

    Thanks for your advice :) But, unfortunately, I can't do classic pass. I have several deceptive card controls in my arsenal, such as Shinobi, Swing Swivel Undercut Control, Double undercut, and, now, Riffle shuffle control. I know that these are not terribly difficult to do, but they look...

    STEAL by Calen Morelli

    The box cannot be examined by the spectators, and the seal too.

    Riffle shuffle control

    Thanks for your tips, and yeah, I know how to get a break invisible, the most comfortable way for me is dribbling the cards :) I shot a video of me doing this move, it's completely invisible, even if your hands are burned, believe me. But, if there are more tips - welcome :)

    Riffle shuffle control

    I wanna talk about this control to you guys. I mean, not about keeping the top card while doing riffle shuffle, about controlling the card beneath the pinky break to the top. Hopefully, you'll understand me. So, I just love this sleight and wanna ask you - is this move invisible? Will the...

    That's it. Remember - if one person could do something, the other person can do it too, always. Don't you think Andrei just took the cards and did these two cuts? Practice, I mastered my revolution cut for one month, and mastering it up till now. The same thing with thumb cut. Good luck! And...
