It's an Al Baker effect, or at least the most "recent" and professional description can be found in his work "The secrets ways of Al Baker". Also, for completeness, you can find it in the Chronicles issues by Karl Fulves, but I suggest you to look for the previous choice, if you want to keep...

Thank You all for the support! I'm glad you liked it!

Hello everyone, I wanted to share a tutorial I made on a simple cut that I created, I hope you like it! Any suggestions/comments are appreciated!

Good Luck everybody!

Yes of course, i was joking. But it's sad to see that professional magicians can behave... weird.

It basically is: "Hey guys i just made a song! BUT NOBODY CAN LISTEN IT WITHOUT MY PERMISSION" What about the crappy tutorials on the Internet? Ask Mr. Gordon if he can save the magic world too. Anyway i was the first to watch it, don't know if you got my comment: i suggested that a selection...

There are several points you can do to improve your pass, and all of them are acquired to experience. As already stated, the pass isn't a beginner move, and should be tackled only later on, when you have a better understanding of the mechanics of manipulating cards. It's the same thing as going...

Mnemonica, Tamariz. Please be aware that even if the "principle" behind a memorized deck is simple (indeed, you memorize a deck), its applications are not, and require experience, presentational and technical, to get the people feel and understand the miracles that you are about to perform.

As Rev said, KM move: it is designed specifically for that purpose. There may be other methods, but that is the most straightforward one that comes to my mind.

For the pass, i kind of agree, although it can be executed at a level when little or no misdirection can be needed. But for the bluff pass: i am curious about how a spectator can call "stop" at a point of the deck and replace the card while not looking down.

First of all, it is not a "trick", but a move, start to think it that way. I don't know where are you learning it from, but if you followed a proper study plan you will have behind a good magic background. One big secret of the bluff pass is, in my opinion, confidence: just do it. The second is...

If you are into card studies since 10 years, you would have by now discovered that we don't study card moves for practical purposes (only). So the answer is yes, it is worth to learn

I personally use the green cloth for poker tables. I have different measures: a full table one, and a small piece just for practice or carrying around.

I believe one of the main issue is the structure itself of the Erdnase's BD, because the buckle on the fly takes away some time (may it be just thinking time due to the extra movement just before the take). I think the strike BD (like Gene Maze's) is far superior, and it's smarter for me to...

I spent years on the Erdnase grip (and modified) only, and i am just about an "acceptable" level. Far from having took care completely of points like the noise, rythm, finger flash, dead thumb etc. but i'm working on them and i'm having some results during the years. In 11 months i think i had...

Card College 1, Card College 2, and a deck of Bicycle Seconds

Not sure about what the question is actually about. But, if you are looking for good resources to learn hand mucking, i recommend checking George Joseph's notes "Hand Mucking" (that basically includes enough information on the topic). If you want to examine in depth some palming techniques (not...

I quote ZackF, the best way to "cull" the cards is with the discards. Be careful that some players are very conservative with their hands and don't want you to flip them over in any way. Note that if you're fast and casual enough you can even stack the cards when picking them up. As subtlety you...

Well, i'm submitting my entry anyway even if i don't have an IG account, if it's not valid it's not a big deal, i would understand. To be fair i didn't crop the image, and left "as is" (just resized the resolution to fit the Upload restrictions on bytes). It kind of reminds of Magritte. Good...

I don't have instagram. Can i enter anyway? Also, is cropping allowed? Because the lens of (every) the camera has a little border distortion. It's just a minor touch, still fine if not allowed. Thanks
