The Annotated Erdnase is an awsome book. It is worth getting IMO. The essays alone thats in the book is priceless.

Both have them at great prices. They are not available in stores only online dealers. Unless there are some magic shops that have them but havent seen them

The Card you are looking for are called Aladdin 1001 and they come in smooth and Air Cushion finish. You can get them on ebay from Fullboatdealer or AceKing. Kind Regards, Mike

You cant go wrong with Darwins At the Card Table and CardShark. Great books. The Magic of Fred Robinson is a really great book and has a section on Freds Gambling routines. Martin Nashs The Professional, Run Ups, Black Jack Demo, The show off etc are great routines. You could find them off...

Thanks for Sharing this. Its a great refrence and will be helpful to me on looking into more sources on the faro.

First off I give you credit to get this going. Many have been concerned with the quality at USPCC. Its been discussed back and forth so many times. Here is the thing though. Card workers and magicians make up very small number of the people who use cards. They are not going to change...

I have been looking into him for a while right now. The only reason I havent been through his works is because I have been all over the place with books and dvds. Alex has a lot of effects that are worth the time looking into with the faro. The man is awsome with the faro. Not only that he...

I do admit that Alex Elmsley slip my mind but because I must admit I really dont know all his work yet. I have a lot of readings and dvds to go through and im not trying to spread my self too thin. But on the other hand there is on effect that Alex Elmsley had that is really powerful and...

Just a few There are countless applications with the faro either in the hands or table and im glad to hear that the faro comes naturally to you. The first place I would recomemend is Ed Marlos RCT. The faro chapter in the book is very indepth. Faro Calculators, Faro foolers etc. Just an...

I would say this is common atleast with me. What hurts most for me when its on the home front. Family and friends who dont understand why I do, what I do give me crap and to add more stuff on it my girlfriend gives me crap for practicing the art but after the reading of the riot act goes back...

There are a lot of Movies with Magicians/Card Mechanics being involved. The Sting: John Scarne: The scene where Paul Newman is shuffling cards on the train was Scarne's Hands The Cincinnati Kid: Jay Ose was the technical Advisor The Ranger, The Cook, The Hole in the Sky: Ricky Jay has...

I hear ya. Its why I appreciate both stores and buy somthing from them to support them because I know others dont have dealers near them. Tannens has been around for a long time and has a lot of history in the biz and always has a great selection. Fantasma is just pure fun. A little more...

2 places you must vist is Tannens and Fantasma magic. they are both located in the dame area of 34th street herald square. Tannes is loctated on 45 w34th st on the 6th floor I believe. You could go to Tannens.com for the address info plus they have a listing of all the magic shows and...

I also say you must go with Rene Lavand. Meir Yedid has a dvd collection on him. you could check them out on youtube. They have a clip with him doing a one handed coin matrix.

How long did it take you guys to finalize the final design for sentinels? How long and how do you choose a new design for playing cards before it goes to print? How do would go about topping cards like sentinels since sentinels raised the bar for playing cards?

I just got my order from dave. I got 3 greens, blacks, reds and blues. These are not new brands of Arrcos. Arrcos have been discontinued from main production but still could be printed if requested and ordered in large numbers, atleast from what I have be told from a few. Dave is the only...

I only have a signed photo from Richard Turner and a personally signed copy of Re-Deal from him. Great book by the way. Kind Regards, Mike

This is somthing that cant be learned IMO. Finesse will come with time as the more you practice and fiddle with cards. Just keep going at it it the smoothness you seek. I think Dai Vernon once said that it takes about 10 years for a person to handle and hold a deck a cards correctly. I...

Pattricks mats are awsome. I found it on the cafe fourms and they range from 8.00 to $80.00 for there monster mats which is one I recently got. great quality IMO. Kind regards, Mike
