Sleights are not "100% invisible", that's why they are sleights. That said, the invisible pass doesn't need to be covered at all, you just need to know how to either use your body to block or you need to keep practicing the sleight.

All magic is basically misdirection. Invisible sleights are simply using the spectators mind to hide a sleight within an action, i.e) turning over the deck of cards, squaring up cards, etc. That said, these are way harder to find since they are less common and are undetected (you literally don't...

Well the actual answer to your question is a resounding no, however, you can anger some magicians who claim intellectual rights although almost no magician ever has actually patented, trademarked, or otherwise claimed intellectual property rights of their effect since there is the "secrecy" and...

I would say no; losing the spectators attention is a huge rookie mistake. Not paying attention to your own trick is conveyed to your spectators as well.

What I Am trying to do is this: doing a series of 3 different colour changes like say shape shifter, paintbrush, etc. The problem is I want to do snap change, but obviously it's not possible unless the known card is second from the top, I do an ace production, but then I put aces back on top...

Thanks for the tips I guess I should have been more specific though. I don't feel I'm in any way a beginner, I know the pass but can use the invisible pass as a card control. I learned laser deal(snap deal), tenkai Palm, backhand Palm. What I want to do is a 3 card production, in which I perform...

Hi everyone, I think I'm at a odd point in pursuing magic. I rely on sleights to perform all my effects. I don't know of any other moves that would be useful or something. I'm currently looking into gamblers sleights. I'm looking for a sleight to control a known card from top to second without...

I resectfully disagree. A sleight will be useless the moment you think about it. You shouldn't be thinking about it for practicing. Practicing should be repetitive, flawless execution. When you practice imperfectly you get bad habits. Stop when you cannot practice due to fatigue. One thing I...

I say practice nonstop. Sure, nobody will be able to perform perfectly all the time. I've been practicing for 5 months now. I am primarily a move monkey. However, slights a really hard to master and require nonstop practice to maintain. I encountered this recently. Gimmicked seemed to be my...

So there is no viable route to produce these by hand? I made around 20 of these by hand, and yeah they're too thick and can't be concealed as a deck because the extra half back add too much height. Thanks for all your advice everyone, guess they're only any good if you use it standalone.

Thanks for all the input, my issue is still just making this...

I already have splitting cards and basic regluing down, I'm looking at keeping the card flat and splitting only portions of the back?

Hello, I'm looking for advice specifically for DIY card gaffs/gimmicks. I feel this is a cheaper alternative for me as I'm more of a move monkey. However I'm doing a parlour setting for a camera, and require only a few types of gimmicks for the routine. I would like any other DIYer's advice in...
