    Card Controls

    The only reason why I didnt recommend the entire book is because I really dont know what his skill level is. RCT is a great book. I have it and its my most studied book right now. But RCT is an Investment. Not only in money (for some), but time and dedication.

    Dry Hands

    they are cheap they range from 2.99 to about 5 bucks. Just go to staples or officemax. Like ChrisT said very very little, just tap it once or twice. I just rub it between the index and thumb but you do all the fingers if you require it. If that dosent help your dry hands just use the...

    Dry Hands

    I usually suffer from sweaty hands but there are times when my hands are too dry after washing them. I use a product that Martin A. Nash used during his performances. Its called Sortkwik. You can get it at any office supply store. its works and dosent affect the cards.

    Tally-Ho's finish durability?

    Actually your point is well illustrated. And the rumors I read about at the cafe. Its a possibility that the new factory isnt set up for it but I def wouldnt know. My guess we wouldnt find out until it happens or someone could give us a definitive answer

    How do you practice?

    I think it all depends on the person and what you’re going for. I do agree with Michael Close that if you want to be good practice what you’re going to use. Me I love sleights and love practicing them but they have there place. The routine is what counts IMO I try to devote as much...

    Tally-Ho's finish durability?

    I have heard this about the seal. Honestly only time will tell if the cards coming out of USPCC are going to suck. I hope this will not be the case but when you have control over the market you could do what you want. Honestly as long as I can still perform with them I will buy them...

    The construction of the New Bikes and also their pip size has come under fire since the new "Standard' box has been released. The quality of the stock is questionable, the pips are smaller, the boldness of the ink sucks, and lastly nobody likes the box. Numerous people to the point where...
