Whilst polishing up my variation of biddle trick i came across a problem. I know this trick is age old and it always impressed audiences but i just sat down today to realise...what IS the motivation for splitting the deck?. If you think about it, there shouldnt be any reason to cut the deck half...

I agree, sometimes i take a day or two off from magic and when i come back again i feel refreshed, it always helps. Like when im practicing say... a false deal for a while i take a break and when i come back i find im a little better. Its like weights, you build up a routine and have a few days...

nice one draven! Handling a troll like that, hopefully hes gone now...but then again, he will probably find another forum and mess that one up..

Im in here now, come join me :D

whoa cool, cant wait for some more DG projects, i loved the last ones

As people have said, it depends on your situation. If im performing a sandwich effect or any effect for that matter that i want the spectatots to be CERTAIN that the card is in the middle i may use a top change, but if it doesnt matter i will use some old fashioned cuts and shuffles. Its...

yeah :D, i was thinking that..atleast money wasnt at stake. Also, that story with your mate sounds bad!, id hate to be scammed like that.

cool review, i might pick this one up afterall my pass does need a bit of pollishing and i loved his spread pass download. :)

Thanks for moving the thread Jon. I agree wholeheartedly with everything you guys have said, its these dregs of society that are destroying magic by revealing effects that magicians have worked hard to create and then eventually sell to make a living! Many artists (Many from this site!) tricks...

Hey guys, a couple of months ago i came first place in 'MagicBurnIllisions' contest and it turns out this person doesnt give his prizes away... I was promised 4 Tally Ho's and a couple of Bicycle decks and he never sent me them, it was then when i started reasearching this guy and it turns out...

well, i mix things up. I do both Magic (which includes card magic and cardsharp demos) and after that i do some mentalism (1 ahead principle, cold reading, Predictions)

When i first started i learned all my sleights second hand, i learned EVERYTHING from Youtube, and that was a real bad problem because i wasnt learning things from the original sources therefore i was learning things wrong by some 9 year old kid sitting in his bedroom. But after about 2 or so...

Straddle grip for a bottom deal for me looks and feels out of place in my opinion, but thats just me and everybodys different. Dai Vernon once said that the greatest bottom deal he ever witnessed was one in straddle grip, i havent seen anybody actually use the straddle grip for a bottom deal so...

I think this would be great, afterall magic is 90% presentation according to the old saying (Unless your doing cardsharp demo's) and it would be cool to have a place to come and talk about the actual meat of the effect and somewhere else to discuss the mechanics.

Id just take my trusty army of 52's for some impromptu card effects, and a few card cheating demonstrations (They go down well, people get facinated). Thats all i need, i mix in a bit of Mentalism aswell and thats me set..one or two decks of cards and a pen and i can *Seemingly* create miracles.

When i first got involved with the Art of Magic i was a very shy person, i was not fully understood and as i sat and took a backseat in life i realised that i didnt have a great skill, a passion. I seen everybody else in life and realised that they all had that special 'Something', something...

Nice pass there mate, very fast and smooth, i voted for you.

Whenever i perform magic i try to take my audience through as many emotions as possible. Happiness,Shock,Awe,Bewilderment..all of those things, that when added together creat a sense of absolute astonsihment and that is to me what real magic is. As far as im concerned i try to bring my magic...

Well, to be honest id need more than five but i guess thats the challenge :) 1 Double Lift 2 Palm 3 Pass (Ortiz Shift/Herman) 4 Classic Force 5 False Shuffle (Push through riffle/Zarrow)

Hello, recently i purchased Jason Englands excellent 1on1 on the 'Center Deal', im really enjoying the move so far and i think its going to be a move that i will be practicing for a long time, but i have came across a slight problem..i dont want to go into much detail about this because i dont...
