    Guardians: The Second Review

    I ordered Several packs. Opened the first pack, and within about 10 minuts of just simple handling (fans, cuts, farros, etc...) they became warped. Like the cross diagnol bent warped (if you put one card, or the whole deck on a table, only two opposite corners touch the table). It isnt humid...

    Hands are just too...

    SMALL. Is this a legit reason for taking SOO long to learn some of the flourishes out there. I know with a lot of dedicated hard work, small hands won't be a problem for a lot of the flourishes out there, but it is definitely keeping me back a bit and presenting some frustrating...

    New way to perform!

    In Japan, its extremely sad, but sometimes the train lines stop for an hour or more due to someone committing suicide. This can happen at the most inconvenient times as well, on the way to work, on the way home, etc... I have been here for 3 years now, and have been stuck on a train for this...

    A list of *rare* decks?

    another rare pack are the first edition black back whit white border Marlboro cards. These original onese weren't produced anymore due to lacking the Surgeon General Warning on the case, etc... They handle EXTREMELY well, fans, farros, etc.. If I had 20 or so packs, I would be performing with...

    When to approach?

    This is what I do in Japan. If I am in a bar scene... I have two basic ways of getting an audience formed. 1: I am already with some friends, showing them some tricks, and nearbye laymen catch eye of what is happening, maybe the end of some trick and then generally scream in an extremely...

    Your "Must Include's" ?

    yeah. invis deck works wonders in Japan. Japan is all about simple yet visual. Don't beat around the bush too much, get to the set up, hype up the effect, do it.. done. My friend has used simple version of Crazy Man Handcuffs to help him finalize business deals for the largest Advertising...

    Your "Must Include's" ?

    I am curious as to what tricks / effects, fellow magicians must include, or always include when they do walkaround, whether it be for casual bars, or more fomal events. I can tell you that digital disolve is now a part of mind =) (thanks t11). I have recently started doing more walkaround...

    Best Card Controls

    Depending on how many spectators of course... but generally I used a dribble pass, or a really slow double undercut while talking with spectators. For the occasional fun loving bar crowd I just grab the card back and top change then put the indifferent card in the middle slowly and clean as...
