I do magic to my friends at school. I was in a class with a friend who knows I do magic and I was doing it to other people and he came over.

Today I was doing magic and I was doing a version of hand sandwich and they could see the cards underneath due to the angle I was at. Then I did a different trick (btw my hands were extremely shaky and sweaty) and I was doing a double lift and completely messed up. It was extremely obvious it...

I need help with forcing cards. I think the classic force is great... when I can pull it off. I struggle to get it every time and when I don't I have to do weird movements to get the card back. I use the riffle down the side force which works but seems sketchy to me and I do like the one in...
