If you're going to decline submissions to the Marketplace, it would behoove you to leave constructive criticism. Getting a stiff, impersonal boilerplate response (especially after weeks of waiting) makes it harder for the artist to understand what would be beneficial for the Marketplace and...

Hey, if you're Garrett M. who just published Whirly on the Marketplace, send me a PM! I have a similar cut I was planning on using in a tutorial package and I want to chat with ya.

I was browsing United Cardists and noticed someone leaked the link to an early release to a special something that was [removed]. One of the mods (I can't believe this scumbag is a mod), badpete69, messaged me asking if I was an employee of Theory11. I said no but asked that he take the link...

Hey everyone! I'd like to help you get your flourish out in the world for everyone to learn and love. Let me explain a bit. I'm an avid cardist, but I'm also a writer by trade. I've seen many flourishes posted on the Wire, but the descriptions aren't the best they can be. They don't...

So I'm in the awkward position of not knowing a lot of "classic" cuts, such as Dan's and Dave's material. I don't want to illegally download the System or Trilogy, and I dislike learning from YouTube channels that poorly teach these cuts. I've found that some moves repurpose ideas from these...

I'm going through the Royal Road course for the first time in my seven years of doing magic. About time, right? I'm going through the palming section and thought I'd strike up a good conversation about it. I really don't like the top palm method provided in the book, nor do I like the tricks...

I've done a little bit of searching and can't find much on this effect. The only things I've seen are Criminal by Menny Lindenfield and Serial Biller by Rich Ferguson. I'd like to have a nice one in my repertoire––can anyone recommend a good version?

Cardistry is at an impasse. It has moved from being a revolutionary art to a blindly knitted quilt of two-handed cuts. In its present state, it is a dichotomy of material being constantly released and originality being found only in the corners. It is experiencing a degradation. Cardists seem to...

Hello everyone, A little while ago I made two quick Instagram videos showing a short, flashy flourish I made called Spinnerette (10 points if you get the reference). One was the move being performed, the other a short tutorial on the move. I've included them below so you can learn it in this...

Ran across this and thought I'd share. This site features sales on innovative, modern designs that are sleek and functional. T11's Artisans are featured on the homepage, and the Monarchs are featured as well. Good stuff! https://www.touchofmodern.com/sales Ian

I've been in cardistry for about a year now and have come up with some stuff of my own. I'm thinking about making a tutorial for the move demonstrated in the video below. Would anyone be interested? Also, what are your preferences in teaching? Verbal, nonverbal, with music, etc...

Hey everyone, I decided to make the best of a rainy day and shoot some magic and cardistry. This was taken on my phone and isn't meant to be anything immensely fancy, it's just me shooting the breeze. Enjoy! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CjnN6aegpAg Ian

Hey everyone, I've agreed to perform magic for a small-ish group of people (anywhere from 20 to 40 or so). The show is February 2nd, so I've got about a month to rehearse. The thing is, it is for a little siblings weekend, where college students bring in their smaller brothers or sisters and...

My performance of a great triumph. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xygptWr1GyI Enjoy!

Hello there, card magic forum. I have an interesting and important question to ask you! I'm beginning to take card magic more seriously, attempting to practice a sophisticated approach to the art. As such, I have decided to take David Devant's approach and learn a few tricks well instead of...

Aside from Syd Segal's (which I am looking at) and the Bucks's, what are some good versions of the Collectors plot? I don't want an overly flourishy routine (like Kevin Ho's or the Bucks's), but rather something like Segal's. I'd like it to have a rather straightforward look. Thanks!

I'm performing a small show next week at my college. Probably 10-15 people will be in the audience. It's going to be roughly 20-30 minutes long, and I was wondering what would make up a good set. Here's what I plan to do so far: Chicago Opener Think Stop Betwixt Biddle Trick Whack Your...

What flourishes would you recommend for a magician who's looking into flourishing? I'm mainly seeking basic cardistry as a way to mix up cards creatively and add it tastefully into my set, perhaps doing a few moves in between tricks. I can do the cut taught in Death to the Double Undercut, the...

Let me know what you guys think of this change. Jason England has helped me affirm its originality, and I've worked on it for quite a while. Honest feedback welcome! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0b_4cGMzVO4 Ian

I know there are a few threads floating around about this subject, but this is a bit more specific. Has anyone printed a personalized deck from Bicycle's custom site? Zazzle does it now, I believe. I'm wondering about the quality and level of satisfaction you had from the experience. I thought...
