    Card to Wallet and Fire Wallet

    Maybe. To me its not but others have said the same. I havent seen the Royal Wallet yet. So I can not comment on it. With a regards to shopping for a wallet I suggest you go to your local magic shop to buy one. Yes buying one of the net is cheaper but to be there physically to inspect the...

    Card to Wallet and Fire Wallet

    Both fit great into back pockets. The only diffrence is that the Large version has the ID case and the wonder unit which is a small note pad. The small version is a no palm wallet while the large is both palm and no palm. If you a looking just for a basic wallet. A Mullica wallet is your...

    Card to Wallet and Fire Wallet

    I use the Jerry O'Connell Plus wallet large. A lot of features that are great. The wallet is pricey but its worth every penny. Its a longer style wallet like they used back in the day but nothing looking like a magic prop. He also has a smaller version the Plus wallet small. The Real Mans...

    One hand magic?

    Well Rene Lavand is the best choice as many indicated already. Just wanted to say Sabor sorry to hear about your Clavicle. I know the fustration. I had broken my right clavicle when I was 15 during my leauge football days. To this day it hurts to have my right arm over my head for a few...

    Gambling books/Demonstrations

    Sorry about that. At times I tend to Misspell his last name for some odd reason that I cant figure out why. The very sad part is I own the book. I would also second Jacks work. He post some of it on the net and its quite impressive.

    Gambling books/Demonstrations

    Darwin Ortiz Card Shark and At the Card Table should be looked at. The Magic of Fred Robinson has a section on his gambling routines is worth a look but the book is a bit pricey. Andrew Wimhurst's dvd The Card Artistry of Andrew Wimhurst and his lecture notes Down Under Deals is great...

    A phase we all go through?

    It happens and it happens with anything. Best thing is like saborfang said take a break and or expand your studies. Enjoy whats around you. Just because you have a passion for somthing dosent mean you have to be around it or do it 24/7. Magic will be here tom, in a wk, in a yr etc. Wait for...

    What are these cards? "Great Mogul"

    If I remember correctly "The Great Mogul" playing cards were produced in Belgium by I. Hardy. Im not sure when printing started or for how long but I found a brick of them from the 1880's when looking for some vintage gambling stuff. They were thick pasteboards, square cut, no indices in...

    The Faro Shuffle

    The faro is my favortie sleight because of the huge amount of applications it has. There are many great sources out there but there is one that stands out, at least for me. Marlos RCT (Revolutionary Card Technique). In this book there is the Faro chapter and Faro notes and was the main...

    Let's See Your Setup!

    To me the book is great. Do I think it commands the high price I cannot really say. I have seen it as low as $105 - $125. I got the book because Darwin Ortiz taught a modified verson of Freds greek deal which you could see him perform in his Card Cheating dvd. I been looking for that...

    Let's See Your Setup!

    I dont know mehar's style of magic. Thats why my post started with "If your into the gambling stuff..." If he was, that was my take on the book. If he wasnt then the book wouldnt be for him unless he really liked researching Vernon. He was only asking about Revelation not other Vernon...

    Do you carry cards everywhere?

    No not all the time. I love card magic and very obsessed with it. I use to during the first month of me getting into card magic. I bring cards with me if I know there is a high chance of me performing somthing or going to session but thats it. There is a life outside of magic that I...

    Let's See Your Setup!

    Let's See Your Setup!

    I love the Wimhurst material. I had to write Michael Vincent to get a copy. The color of the cut card is not important to me. I have them in yellow also. I had the light green mat since I first started and its falling apart. Card control is in the bathroom with a few other titles. Yes...

    I will bite on this one too. It not a proper set up but this is it. I keep this table agains the wall with all my stuff on it. I just pulled it out in the center for better shots. I have my other playing cards in a drawer. As you can see from the titles im very onesided. Tabled card magic...
