Same here. Im constantly finding things that people dont know about. My room is already getting cluttered. even the known books to the mainstream has things overlooked.

I saw penguin magic have some of their staff do reviews for a few books previewing a move or two from the book. Those clip helped me purchase or considering to purchase in the future. I personally like the idea. Gives insite to the material and would give the consumer a better Idea of what...

Im actually going to pick this up at the end of the month. I usually dont pick up effect that requires a gimmick but when I saw the clips to this it blew me away. Then they teach a non gimmicked version. It just looks like an awsome effect to add to your routine. Mike

hey guys, Right now suffering a bad case of insomia and was looking at some vid clips and found this old clip of Cardini performing and I just wanted to share this because I know there are a few here who would appreciate the classic performance of a great. I see countless vids of Cardini...

easy card trick. Ed Marlo's Matching Miricale from M.I.N.T #1 others that require some of the sleight of hand that you written: 10 to 1 Martin A. Nash Jacks or Better Martin A. Nash F.B.I Card Bill Simon The Sting by Darwin Ortiz or anything by Darwin Ortiz and this list would go on...

im stumped on this one. I love the Dragon back design. Very sweet. This could be probably a custom deck. People who have the means to always have their own decks printed up. Everyday I find decks that I didnt know they existed because they are custom, printed outside the USA, years ago...

I have the Richard Turner Dvd Science of shuffling and stacking and I love the dvd, I got it more because Im a fan of Mr. Turners, I usually favor books. I have all of them. Its worth taking a look at. Everyone has their own style on riffle stacking. I just use to lay the amount of cards...

I remember when I first tried to pinky count and it did discourage me. It sounds simple in print but its not. Those who bash the pinky count never did it correctly IMO. Look at Darwin, he uses the pinky count often and can pinky count up to 30 or so. Thats impressive. Im practicing...

Im going to try and network this summer. I already know a professional magician through the bar I work at but I want to get to know more and make friends. Marlo said once that if you want to be a great card man you need to be around great card men or women lol. It makes sense. Plus...

Any overhand shuffle that required a certain run of cards or overhand stacking. I was guilty of moving my lips when counting. still trying to get rid of that. Also staring at my hands. Very bad

mad props bro thats all i have to say

Well my choice to go into cards was 2 factors for me. One is that I always loved playing cards. Second was when I was young. I dont remember how young but I think I was 11 or so. I saw Ricky Jays 52 Assistants. I was outstanded with what he was doing with a pack of cards and his patter was...

I have ordered from BMPokerworld. It was only once but I didnt have a problem with them. They are also a sponsor at the magic cafe. I dont think Steve Brooks would allow a scammer to continue to have a banner there Mike

I would love to see piracy be stop. Unfortunatly its like trying to destroy a tank with a rock. At best your going to make a lousy dent. Its sad really because most view it as a victimless crime because the person is not present and its done over the computer. So its easy to steal for a...

I do believe that over practicing is counterproductive IMO. I love to practice and try to often but only for so long. I think the most i did was close to 3 hours. Others could practice for days on end. I use to play Pocket Billiards a lot. I got extremely good. But I was practicing for...

Darwins stuff is awsome. But not for the weekend magician lol. I have been searching for it and At the card table is discontinued :( when I do find it on ebay or somthing they are asking for a lot of money for the book.

I havent done this yet but I have been guilty of doing some fancy shuffles and not noticing it. I acutally think thats a good thing in my opinion. It shows that it has become second nature to you. But others could dissagree. Mike

cardshard is an awsome book. it was one of my first books I picked up. but If i recall and excuse me if im wrong. Its 530 am NYC time and I had about 15 segrams 7 on the rocks at the bar I work at but I dont recall mucking being covered in the book. If I am wrong im srry Suhaas. But I...

Both are good but I didnt recommend them because they really dont teach but beautiful examples of mucking are in there. also Richard Turners The Cheat is awsome also. You know Robert. I never really though about a cooler being a form of mucking. Brings up an interesting discussion. I...

The only one I would use is a double backer. Now if it was gimmicked cards then It would be the cornner short and the scalloped card. Mike
