    Card Printing Question

    Thank you for that page. It looks like you can order the blank stock and have a printer just goto work on it. I'll have to talk with some printers and see what they can do.

    Card Printing Question

    I've been looking for a playing card that has a Bicycle Red Back, but one where I could put my business card on the face. Everywhere I've seen online, I've seen cards with normal faces but your logo / design printed on the back side. (so, instead of having ei; a Queen of Spades, I would want...

    Better way to store your rare cards...

    Well, just because they are cards, doesn't mean they are face value. I have a 20 cent piece that's worth over $100, so if they are signed by some great dead magician, they could very well be worth storing. Also, if they have emotional value to him, they could be worth storing. Maybe they...

    Better way to store your rare cards...

    I personally would just get a fire proof safe and keep them in your bedroom. Cover the safe with a table cloth and use it for a night stand. If you're paranoid about people stealing the safe, bolt it to your floor. At any rate, no fees and you can keep other valuable stuff in the safe, so...

    Bar Magic Poll

    Maybe the Safehouse is the only bar like it then, but it's a bar specifically designed for a magician. The back of the bar has all of his stuff, and he puts on a show every Sunday - Thursday. People go there just to see him. :) Maybe Milwaukee is the only place with a bar like this? I just...

    Bar Magic Poll

    to Clarify I guess.... If you're a magician and you serve drinks at a bar and also perform magic at the bar, should you focus more of your time on performing magic (magician / bartender) or on pouring drinks (bartender / magician).

    Bar Magic Poll

    I recently went to the Safehouse in Milwaukee to learn that my all-time favorite magician Mark Bond has retired. He did the best magic that I've ever seen close-up, and he did it all. (cards - coins- cups / balls - everything) During his routine, he would take brief breaks after a...

    What to buy?

    If you don't already have them and you're looking to spend money, I recommend 3 card monte and / or color monte. I think each is only like $10, so you could save some money and still get a couple nice tricks. You could always bet people a dollar and make the money back over time too. :) I...

    Make a YouTube tutorial!

    this would be funny I think it would be very funny to make the tutorial something like a color change, and then tell them, watch very closely and you can see the exact moment it changes. Show it in slow motion, telling them to look close... Then BAM have one of those screaming monster...

    Five Minute Speech... Help Me!

    formal speech If it's a formal speech, take into consideration that others doing it may not be performing. For sure, you want to do something, but I would start off with a good trick - and then keep the rest of the time magic related. You could chew up 5 minutes easy if you just talked...

    I wanted to ask something from the people in the forum here, and please keep the flaming to a minimal. I’ve given all of your comments very serious thought. For those that do not know, I created a card magic website that currently is showing how to do various slights and tricks. Here’s the...

    Business Cards

    vista print, 300 dpi Just remember when getting stuff through Vista Print, if you upload an image, upload it at 300 dpi, else it will look good on the screen (72 dpi), but print fuzzy. You know know it til it arrives. :( Also, wait for their "everything is free mail spam" and you can get...

    Where should I start?

    Royal Road I agree with the other guy, the Royal Road to Card Magic is a great book. Also, if you want to spend more money, get the Royal Road DvD by Paul Wilson. If you're more visual and don't like reading, it's great.

    Manipulation Deck

    Has anyone tried out the manipulation deck that's for sale on this site? $7.50 seems like a good price, and I can't seem to find them at our local magic shop. I'm just getting into Backpalming, and I wasn't sure if they were much better, or if I should stick w/ McBride's way of "working the...
