    The "real" revelations?

    so I'm assuming most of you have seen or are familiar with the Vernon and his books and the revelations tapes. There's rumors that the inner circle convinced Vernon not to publish or release the best inner circle secrets. So I'm curious, what tricks and secrets would these be if this is true...

    Double lift separation

    hello ! Sometimes when I do the double turnover I get some separation in the cards as I'm dragging them over to flip them over. It's not a lot of separation, maybe a couple millimeters. To my eye it's obvious and I am worried I'll eventually get caught. I'm fairly new to performing so I'm...

    Pinky count?

    While the pinky count seems to be a useful move, I must say I am a bit baffled at how many people recommend it. Ive practiced it for a few years now, and I've found that 1 out of 10 or 1 out of 20 times I will end up having counted three cards instead of two at no fault of my own - the cards...

    double turnover, last ditch effort

    so yes, I've been working on a double turnover for about 4 months now, and I'm about to revert to just picking the cards up by the edges (which seems very unnatural looking to me) unless anyone has any better ideas - i always get card separation as i flip the double over. i can drag it to...

    Standard Bicycle vs. Magic decks

    I've noticed standard bicycle cards with that air cushion finish are very slippery until they've been broken in a few days. Is that the same with all cards, including the cards made specifically for magic? Any brands better than others for this? Being a beginner, slippery cards are a major...

    Fraud

    The trick Fraud by Daniel Garcia requires a certain printing device which I'm sure any of you who do the trick know about. I myself, nor any of my friends have it :( So my question - has anyone tried a laser printer and had it work without damaging it? I'd hate to break mine if it truly does...

I was watching this video of Gregory Wilson performing what is apparently a combination on an inversion plot and triumph , and he did a really neat move towards the end at 3:17 where he Faro shuffles faceup into face down and somehow they still end up all facing the same direction...
