I'm sure that this has been done before in some fashion, but I feel like my handling will be quite different along with the patter. I just wanna see whether or not this has been done before. The effect would be to have the spectator touch four cards from a shuffled deck. The cards would then be...

I have three card effects that I have devised, at least to my knowledge they have not been published elsewhere, and I was wondering where I need to go next. In other words what is the next step torward getting them published, and at what point should I start thinking about copyrighting the material?

someone posted a link not to long ago to an effect where a card is chosen put back in the deck, then a different card is shown and placed into fanned cards face up, and the fan is closed and the card changes into the selected card. I tried to search, but couldn't find it.

Don't know whether this has been done or not, but here is an idea that for an effect. The magician shows a deck of cards to the spectator(s) then gives them a shuffle and has someone chose a card. Then spectator is told to extend both arms one palm up and the other positioned to grasp the...

I had an idea involving the erdnase steal that i wanted ya'll to give me your opinion on. The idea is to setup for the erdnase change and perform the steal pretending that you are going to change the card. You do it with "half" the motion of the change i.e. you cover the card perform the "shift"...

Do any of you think it is good idea to slip in a few simple false cuts while genuinely shuffling the cards? Not making a big deal about or anything, but for instance when you begin a routine and bring out a fresh deck of cards and are mixing them up before you get started just nonchalantly slip...

Does anybody else think that they are cheating the audience out of something by using gimmicks of any sort? I can't bring myself to buy any gimmicked cards (or any other gimmick for that matter) because i feel like i am doing the audience an injustice by having more than what i am showing or...

How many of you ever have this happen. You are recording a video or showing someone a new color change that you learned and you end up changing a 4 of spades into a 4 of clubs or any 2 cards of the same value and color and they look at you as if to say what the f**k just happened, you didnt do...

Can anyone tell me what the name of the move is, that is performed in this video at 1:23 and again at 1:32? Is it some variation of the biddle count? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FWNMpfXrBsY

Here is a video of doing the pass and then a few performances. I would like some tips on it. I have only been doing it a month so i know that i need more practice. I am just trying to make sure that my mechanics are right, and also trying to get tips that might help me do it better. Thanks for...

I have been working on different magic maneuvers such as the pass, a few flourishes, and some color changes. I have been doing this for a little over a month now and I dont know how to practice. I am learning this all by the seat of my pants. This may sound stupid to some of you, but I have been...

I am just trying to figure out the name of the sleight of hand move where you pretend to place a card on the table off the top of the deck. I just want to find some tips on making it look better and see if there is a better method than what i am doing. I tried searching "false transfer", but it...

I am new to magic. I have been doing it seriously for a little over a month now, and I came up with a new move. I used it in this video as a color change although I am still developing it and a color change isnt what i want to do with it. I was just wondering if some people with experience could...
