    What is this called ?

    I didn't spot that it was specifically mnemonica (I don't use it a whole lot), but I noticed it was a stack :) I wasn't going to mention the false shuffle, but the combination of the two is what I meant by "already too late"

    What is this called ?

    I'm not sure how much of this T11 would want me to say, and I don't want to ruin this effect (I've never seen it before but it's awesome) Jimmy really does have a free choice, but it's already too late If you don't know how it's done then keep learning card magic and come back to this video in...

    I'm extremely curious about something (mentalism related)

    I'd never thought of mentalism this way, but now I've heard it I can see the truth in it

    How many of you are full - or part time magicians?

    I've been doing magic for 9 years, and have never once been paid for it. I'm 22 years old and to be perfectly honest with you - I can't stand my job. I've been working in restaurants since I was 18. I was a bartender (I love bartending, almost as much as magic) but for the last few months I've...

    Are Aviators Plastic?

    Are Aviators Plastic?

    No, not the international symbol of badassery referred to by mortal men as "sunglasses", I mean the almost as badass Aviator Playing Cards first introduced to the public in 1927 (can't wait for that 100-year anniversary). I've spent 9 years doing magic, mostly card magic, and have only ever...

    How important is card magic in your opinion?

    I have been doing magic for 9 years (primarily with cards) and I only regularly perform 3 card tricks. These are openers, and it's just because I'm most comfortable with cards. These tricks specifically are ones I use because they fit in well with my character and style. Hypothetically I'd love...

    Short cards

    I'm glad I'm not alone in my love of short cards! Aside from the usual (key card placements, letting the spec shuffle etc.) I have about three tricks I use regularly. All of them use sleights I created (as far as I know) specifically for short cards. I find that short cards can act as a crutch...

    Short cards

    Any books you can recommend on short cards? The idea of publishing something on the wire is feasible, but not the point of the post (sorry if I went on a tangent, haha). I already have a camera, so it wouldn't be a problem anyway.

    Fine Art of Magic

    Also, can you recommend any auction sites other than ebay that are good for magic books?

    Fine Art of Magic

    I'm not looking for an illegitemate source. Erdnase teaches a second deal, but Expert Card Technique also teaches a second deal. Due to the fact that I know very little about the contents of the book (other than what I can garner from Dennis Behr's website) I would just like recommendations for...

    Short cards

    I have been making and using short cards in almost every one of my decks for 4/5 years now, and have come up with some (I believe) novel uses, aside from the usual key-card placements etc. Are there any resources for learning more short card techniques? I'd like to learn some more. I've...

    Fine Art of Magic

    Ever since I saw Jason England's "What to read" video, I've been looking for "The Fine Art of Magic". The problem is that the book is old and out of print, so it's crazy expensive (in the range of £300 - £400) and I can't justify spending that much money on a book. Is there anywhere I can find...

    Duo Magic

    I guess I'll just have to write the book myself ;) Thanks for your help

    Duo Magic

    Hi. A friend and I are working on a two person telepathy act, and have lots of ideas for other two-person tricks. I can't, however, seem to find any literature written on the subject of two-person magic. I've been studying magic for 9 years now and know a lot of magic theory, it's my favourite...
