    Impromptu Card Tricks

    The top three that come to mind for me are: 1) Force a card and reveal 2) Triumph(slop variation) 3)Ambitious Card I usually default to one of these three because they are easy and hit hard.

    Cleanest card to wallet?

    A useful card to wallet to always have on you is a no palm card to wallet. I used to keep a double backer in my wallet with "your card" written on it. The basic idea was that the chosen card would be controlled to the top. I would say "how cool would it be if 'your card' was in my wallet" as...

    Card To Mouth

    Does anyone know what could be a replacement for the Steamboat deak?

    Hi, I am trying to do an effect called Pact which is located in Capricornia Tales by Christian Chelman. All I am going to say is that it requires a deck with 666 on the box and standard faces, hence it says use Steamboats; however, those decks are out of print and I haven't been able to find...

    Hello, I need some recommendations on card magic

    I was in the same position as you last year when I realized that muggles are not that impressed with the knuckle busting card stuff, coming from a guy who devoted 6 years to Lennart Green's Snap deal and knows every move and effect he published. At that point I realized that muggles really...

    Impromptu Invisible Deck

    There is the one called Unbound: Gimmickless Invisible Deck by Darryl Davis(Other Brothers). This is his only independent release, that is not under the Other Brothers. It's a bit knacky(harder than Ernesto's) but it is great.

    What's the point of four ace productions for magicians?

    Recently I was going through my morning ritual of moves and effects/routines and realized something. We as magicians are people that induce a false sense of reality where the boundary of what is possible and not possible are non-existent. Then we do something like a for ace production which at...

    Stacks

    It just depends on you, I was in your situation when I was torn between Dani Da Ortiz's stack vs Aronson. Both had gambling effects plus loads of applications; however, I really don't really look at stack based on how easy they are to memories. I look at what am going to do in the long run...
