    Saturday Night Contest - Tribute to Sybil

    Hey guys! Hope you all are having a great weekend. Today is a very special day - it is Chris Kenner's birthday! In addition to his role as Executive Producer for David Copperfield, Chris published a flourish in his book Totally Out of Control in 1992 that changed cardistry forever. That move was...

    Magic Books

    Hey BlackJaqk (nice username by the way!), Based on your post it's hard to tell what kind of magic you are into, so I will take a look at my bookshelf and list some that I think would be of good interest to you (if you are into card magic): Royal Road to Card Magic by Hugard and Braue Card...

    Saturday Night Contest - W:H Creative Challenge

    Hey guys, hope everyone is having a great start to the weekend! Two days ago I had the pleasure to attend Wayne Houchin's lecture in Myrtle Beach, SC. It was the first lecture I had ever attended, and it definitely exceeded my expectations. The first three effects that Wayne performed and taught...

    Wayne Houchin Lecture

    This lecture was the first lecture I had ever attended, and I couldn't have been more happy that it was Wayne Houchin's. I have been a fan of his work since I got into magic, and it was a surreal moment to finally be able to meet someone I look up to. The magic scene in Charleston is almost...

    Saturday Night Contest - Anti-Cardistry!

    You can switch objects in the middle of your performance if you desire; just remember to keep it non-traditional! :)

    Saturday Night Contest - theory11's Got Talent!

    Alright guys, time for the results! We'll get right to it. We asked if you had one trick to perform for the judges, what trick would that be? You guys answered, and now it's time to decide a winner. We asked that we get both trick AND presentation, as performing a close-up trick without words...

    Saturday Night Contest - Cards with Class

    Alright guys, time for the results! We've seen some amazing entries, but ultimately only one can walk home with the prize this week. Let's get right to it! When we think of class and elegance, we think of adjectives like clean, smooth, exquisite, and simple. Simplicity is powerful when you want...

    Waveform

    It wouldn't be a mystery box - or much of a mystery at all - if we were to divulge any clues as to that challenge. So at least for now, it must remain just that: a mystery (for you alone to decipher) :)

    Cards in the Hands of the Spectator

    Everything that has been said so far has been spot on, but adding onto what hellafont is saying, it sounds like you could try and add false solutions to your magic, and if you want to take your magic to the next level, The Magic Way by Juan Tamariz (so glad it is back in print) is the perfect...

    Fake Exposure Videos - BAD for Magic?

    I would also like to add something I said in the contest thread: "One of the best things to do is to not watch at all. This is just my opinion, but if I really wanted to LEARN a trick, I would never look for a tutorial on YouTube. There is no substance to their teaching, because they aren't...

    Saturday Night Contest - Faking French

    Alright guys, time for the results! It was a lot of fun going through each "tutorial", seeing what you guys came up with. Tonight was a great step forward in combatting reveal/tutorial videos on YouTube and against exposure in general, so we thank you guys a LOT for helping us with that this...
