Green Tycoons for me!

Thanks! I knew it didn’t sound right. You are correct Ritual is with the necklace awakening is with ropes. Certainly very magiciany!

It sounds like you are looking for more “organic” options. Maybe magic with everyday objects; do you wear a ring, carry a pen, a necklace? Awakening by Dan Harlan is a fun effect but the necklace might not fit your style. Aside from what you usually carry, you could do magic that is relevant to...

Hmmm, white Monarchs or…If an Octopus Could Palm deck. Currently I have neither!

https://www.theory11.com/holiday/contest I think you can scan the QR code on the card…but also try that link it gives the daily entry, hopefully they keep it going a while longer.

While there is no concrete definition of routine, in many magic books there are these definitions; An effect is something that happens, like the card appeared on top of the deck. A trick can be made up of one or more effects, an ambitious card repeatedly appeared on top of the deck. A routine is...

This year was more of what I hoped for from last years resolution both with my family and magic. We have settled into our new city pretty well and grew some roots, new friends and a dog! I’ve been performing in casual situations more and have had lots of fun doing that. This year, like last...

Pretty sure they explained the wheel last year or so. Maybe a year before that. But I can see how people can look at it and feel certain prizes come up a bit too often. That’s because not all prizes are equal on the wheel, it is just a visual thing to see spin. ‘No prize‘ has a much higher...

Hi Jeff and welcome to the forums! Your Monarch deck is fine without the double backer, it is used in some tricks but it’s not necessary for the deck. You will find a double backer in other decks too from other makers….some decks not all. For instance some Bicycle decks have it. Im unsure of the...

250 points was todays reward! Wewt!

I’m in the peanut gallery here but I think you could use all the books at once in beginning to relearn some magic. They all have something to offer plus can switch between books to avoid burnout. I say dive into BoBos… you can learn the “kneezy” vanish. Learning how and why the principles work...

Lots of good cards come to mind but I would love a deck that came with Dan and Dave’s book If an Octopus Could Palm.

Card 1: Four of Spades Card 2: Nine of Clubs Card 1: Ace of Diamonds Card 2: Two of Clubs

whoops…I didn’t refresh my browser and didn’t see that others replied yet🥲 My bad!

Magicians guilt is tough, I suffer from it myself too! I’m sure some pros will weigh in soon but your concern is addressed in Jeff McBride’s book; The Show Doctor. One of his fixes sounds simple but it’s the crux of the issue…and it’s just to perform. The more you perform the less those thoughts...

The Court Cards are all designed different and custom, the number cards are highly stylized with colorful pips. Meaning cards like 6 of diamonds have 6 and a diamond pip in the indices and the card face has six stylized diamonds. Hope that makes sense. It’s a nice deck to look at.
