I definitely want to get some of these, but they're to get in France! Thanks for this very useful review.

No scam indeed, you're sure to get your book, safe and sound!

Practice is your friend :) Spending days and night on a move to get it right, being obsessed with it is the right state of mind! AMEN to what you say bro

The link given by zeanator3581 is a good start, then if you're really into XCM you should come and check www.handlordz.com/forum But it's all about XCM and not at all about magic :)

To increase my fingers strengh, I do finger fitness everyday, 30 minutes! It helped me to develop finger isolation andoverall hand strengh. You can find all about it here : www.handhealth.com There's a lot of articles to help you there!

My favourite so far is "Design for laughter". So simple yet so powerful, I'm amazed by the public reaction every time, there's nothin else to do than looking at them diving for the card on the table just to realize it's not the one. I haven't gone throuh all the tricks in the book yet, but...

I took me the time to read Giobbis introduction, and work the first chapter to get into it, feel it and want to do it forever! And yes, as R. Paul Wilson says, perfection is a road, not a destination! Being able to do some triks is a matter of weeks/months. Masterizing anything is a...

I'm actually studying in depth RRTCM, and so far I'm learning palming. I already got Card College, and it'll be my next studying course after RRTCM. But I'll finish RRTCM first. Right now CC is used only to get more information about RRTCM moves if I want an in depth undertanding of it. So you...

So awesome to unbend cards. The only alternative : a big pile of book for one night over your deck. Other alternative : bend your finger so that it matches the cards'bend and then it'll feel like a regular straight deck.

It happens to me all the time. High speed heart beat, and hands shaking. I'm a beginner so I have to gain confidence, and feeling I can flash or do something wrong makes me feel this nervous. I'm working on it though, the more I perform, the more it's coming. I keep thinking "you're gonna...

I've practiced a little within the past two weeks. I also read a lot about palming. From now I can carry up to 4 cards in my hands, but having them get to that position from the deck is still another story hehe. But I don't worry, I just keep doing it, it will come... Another question just pops...

The way I understood this, reading CC, is that the theory is the backbone idea behind the move. Some hints on why and how you can justify moves etc. Using the theory, you can buid you own patter, you own interpretation of the move. Magic is nothing without a good patter, presentation and...

I'm sooo not in a hurry. My goal is to be smooth, no tension, natural. So far all the things I've learned have been practiced again and again, and I have a group of "test buddies" on which I can test my tricks when I feel confident enough. So far no one has seen anything. No exposure. I feel...

Hey it's me again, still on the Royal Road to Card Magic. Now I gained some confidence with the first chapters (Overhand Shuffle, Riffle Shuffle, Glide, Glimpse, Key Card and some of the Flourishes), I'm going to learn the palm. And after having read through the techniques from both Royal...

I'm interested by gimmicks, but as a beginner I know that I need to learn and practice my sleights (and I wan to do it that way) before even considering using gimmicks. So when I'll be done with the basics of card college and royal road to card magic, I may have the skills (and presentation)...

You confused me a little... Maybe you can PM a picture showing what you mean? When I tried to figure out what with a deck of cards in my hands I confess I got lost ;) For now my fingers are sort of "bent" behind, indeed applying pressure only with the fingertips, so to follow your advice I...

I use the pinky, as explained in the Royal Road and Card College. It's almost smooth now, I realized while practicing that my main problem was because I wasn't able to run single cards properly. So I practiced that, to find the best way to run single cards smoothly (as a matter of fact i...

I'm not from Belgium but from Valenciennes, which is very close to the border ;) What city are you from?

Thanks holo. If there was a blush emote I would use it right now ;) I'm moving on to the Hindu Shuffle!

My english is so bad you managed to understad I was French. Now it's a good reason to faint ;) I'll check David STONE, thanks for the advice. But most of my learning is done with english ressources, as english isn't really a problem for me (unless it can clearly be seen in the way I write...
