    A new magician joins the ranks

    I just wanted to share this with everyone. Those of you that are familiar with my posts will know that I got into magic, and continue to perform magic because of my niece. I love performing for her and she loves to watch magic. She turned 6 in November and has recently been "performing" some of...

    Borderless marked decks?

    What is out there? I may be doing it wrong but google doesn't offer much assistance. I have some green Madison Dealers that are getting worn out pretty quick, and as much as it pains me to say it, I like them. I could stock up on these (and red Dealers) but ideally I would like a few different...

    A little thing I've been working on.

    Howdie doody lads and lasses. I've been a little too busy in the "real world" lately to be active on here much, but I've managed to find the time to keep up with the card work, so wanted to share a little something that I have been working on. I'm pretty sure I've shared a basic version of this...

    Is This Possible?

    This may be the medication talking but at a very basic level you're asking for the Penn & Teller bullet catch but with cards, figure that out and you may well have one of many possible ways to achieve your goal.

    The Downward mobility or evolution of magic

    One of the things that I think is a real issue is the culture of instant gratification. You mentioned Youtube and street performers and I think they are symptoms of this issue. I'm not saying all street magicians are bad but in the example you gave the guy could have bought the trick that...

    Exposé LIVE - Who Do You Want To See?

    Honestly, I'll watch anyone you put in front of me and I'll enjoy it. For someone whose knowledge of magic is limited (but growing) Exposé LIVE can be a real eye opener and massively educational. For (a now embarrassing) example, Steve Cohen, aside from when Tycoons were mentioned I had never...

    I want to tell you a story

    Thanks Casey. It was definitely one of those moments where I wish there was a hidden camera.

    Dvs/The Seer by Mark Calabrese gimmick alternative?

    You get the gimmick which Mark says is new and improved when you purchase The SEER. As for Dvs, Mark will tell you all you need to know in his At the Table lecture.

    I want to tell you a story

    Hello guys and gals, So, I as the title says, I want to tell you a story. I'll try to keep it as short as possible but I'm not making any promises. I was sat with my niece, twiddling my thumbs whilst she was putting her new Frozen stickers on a poster, when right on cue she turns to me and...

    Tricks to do with Sub Rosa

    Ali, I work with the cards in my hands rather than at a table so things may differ, but one of the things that massively increased my enjoyment of SubRosa is realising that you don't have to get the aces on top, you can just locate them and then do a whole load of things. Also, you don't have to...

    Different settings one can perform magic

    Sounds like a good afternoon. You missed off TV Brett, which of course we all have a wealth of experience with.

    New to Magic here

    That is definitely an issue for me! There are guys out there that can name every move under the sun, they'll tell you who first published it, what year it was published and what the first letter of each line was. For me it's more like "that one where you take a card, then you twizzle it and at...

    Close up competitions for teens

    Hanry, you're digging up a lot of old threads here. Maybe question whether a reply is needed given the time since the last post.

    Best deck production and deck to box?

    I am trying to put together a bit of a more structured routine than usual as my nieces birthday is coming up so I figured she deserves a bit of a show rather than just 2 or 3 tricks when she asks to see magic (that's 2 or 3 different tricks 3 days a week, every week!) I love the idea of...
