    Saturday Night Contest - JAQK Prediction

    Alright guys, time for results! The two cards I had in my hand were the Queen of Diamonds and the 8 of Diamonds. No one correctly guessed it, but we did have one member who came REALLY close. That member is Casey E1 with their guess of Queen of Hearts and 8 of Diamonds. Just one suit off...

    Saturday Night Contest - Shadow Art

    By shadow art, you can take it either way. Using shadows only, or incorporating shadows in your image. Either way is fine. No old posts allowed (as always, every contest since launch has disqualified members for submitting old posts), and proof would be great but if you submit a fake entry...

    Saturday Night Contest - Shadow Art

    Hey guys, hope you all are having an excellent start to the weekend! I was skimming through YouTube and found this really cool video that demonstrates shadow art. I've always found it fascinating to be able to manipulate light and turn its shadows into different shapes and structures. You might...

    Saturday Night Contest - Behind the Back

    Hey guys, hope you are all having a great weekend! I saw a really interesting video on Twitter last night that was posted by Blake Vogt, and it definitely got me thinking. Cardistry behind the back is no easy task; not only can you not see your hands, your range of motion is greatly restricted...

    Goals for the Fall

    UPDATE: I have finally purchased my camera and equipment that I need (that was fast). So for my new goal, I plan on putting together the ideas for my projects and start them before the year ends. Winter time is when the majority of what I want to do will take place. Hoping it all goes well!

    Goals for the Fall

    One of my goals this Fall is to finally splurge and get a DSLR of my own, which I can use to finally start making my cardistry project (and maybe a few magic effects I've created over the years). I've always had a vision in my head but never had the equipment to execute it, so once I get all my...

    What Should I Do?

    Hey Bryant, Believe it or not I have been going through almost the same predicament. For years I've always wanted to get into cinematography/photography but never really wanted to take that leap of faith and splurge a good amount of money on a camera and extra equipment. I've always hesitated...

    Books to Get

    Hey Thomas, This is always a great place to start. Jason England does a great job on giving you some books to get started. A lot of these books are fairly inexpensive, so they're quite affordable. If you are in the realm of just card magic, Roberto Giobbi's Card College series is also a great...

    Tonight's Episode of Fool Us

    I don't really like the linking rings either, but Blake's effect is the only one I actually love. I don't think Penn and Teller knew how he did it either. I genuinely think Blake fooled them. I don't consider "we know you are a crafty gimmick maker" as an explanation. To me, they had no genuine...

    Tonight's Episode of Fool Us

    To all of you who caught tonight's episode of Fool Us, what did you think? (spoilers below if you have not seen it) Blake absolutely killed it. I've seen versions of linking rings that use cards but never dollar bills. I, for one, was completely fooled. Just insanity; very clever working...
