    Bottom deal

    I am assuming you are doing a strike bottom because thats the only time I get any type of sound if any. I also havent yet seen a book address a noise issue with the bottom deal, Mostly second deal (ed Marlo RCT). Try beveling the pack a bit. It could reduce some friction and thus some noise...

    March 2009 :: What Drives You?

    I just love it I just love card magic. I love to practice untill my fingers hurt. I love to read the books untill my eyes are out of focus and I love to watch the great card men preform. Others have their yoga, martial arts, or listen to their sounds of the rain forest cd to relax and get...

    Passing The Torch

    I have only been in magic for a 1 yr this july. Im not that good but I still get this senario every now and then. They want to lean some things and like Alex said they just want to impress their friends. They have no real interest in the art. These are the same people searching the depths of...

    Foundations or Ninja?

    I have Ninja. Im not saying its not my worst buy but for the money I paid I wish they would have spent more time on each subject, everything was very brief. Like others said is very pass orientated with a few diffrent changes and 3 card controls i think. there are better choices out there...

    Which do you usually choose?

    I shop around. I dont stick in one place. I generally dont order from the bigger places. I like to shop with the little guys and/or stay local and support my magic stores. Reason why is the smaller guys have all their items in stock and you can find hard to find items because nobody would...

    Books or DVD's?

    I agree with that. There are many books with a wealth of information that you hardly see or dont see on dvds. Like for me as a card worker Essential Robert Houdin and J.N. Hofziner's Card Conjuring are great books. There is a lot of great info out there in books that is not put into dvds...
