    Polygraph... language sensitive?

    Amazing, thanks for the replies! I’ll get it sooner than later then :)

    Polygraph... language sensitive?

    Hi all! Polygraph looks really interesting, I have never worked on a Coin in Hand routine and seems to be a nice place to learn a reliable method. However, I often perform magic in three different languages so I was wondering if the method taught relies on specific words or sentences that may...

    Cyber

    Really good question. I guess your email + code combination should work for as many phones as you want, but as someone who has been saving these last few months for a shiny iPhone 12 Pro, I am curious too!

    What's the point of four ace productions for magicians?

    For me, it depends on the effect that I will do next. If it's a "standalone" effect with just the aces (waving the aces, for example), I do like producing the aces in a magical way. If the next effect involves the rest of the deck, I usually just take the aces out, I feel like producing them...

    How good should a card magican be after 3 monthes

    I would focus on effects rather than specific sleights. Assuming you started with self working tricks, slowly add effects that contain sleights, such as a force, a control, a colour change... There's no specific way of making progress, you just have to find what you want to perform and work...

    Simplicity vs Fairness

    How about an Ascanio Spread? It lets you openly show four cards while hiding the fifth, and it's more natural than an Elmsley count.

    Stuck

    Definitely agree on the performing part. Have you been trying your magic tricks on people? What works best for you? What gets the biggest reactions, which are the most fun to perform? That should tell you where to go next! :)

    Cyber

    This information is quite misleading. The spectator must have an iPhone XS or newer, which means only iPhones released in the past year and a half. Any other iPhone, including the iPhone X, won't work. I knew what kind of method I was going to get, but this was pretty disappointing :(

    T11 Deck Fact Sheet – Monarch NYSM2 Edition

    I believed NYSM Monarchs had metallic silver on black design, not just on the tuck but on the cards themselves too. Good to know, love these posts!

    Saturday Night Contest - Variety Box!

    My rights or My Morals?

    When talking about movies I always say piracy is wrong, but if you really can't afford to purchase a legal copy, it's better to pirate it than not watching it. Cinema is culture, and should be accessible to everyone, if money is keeping you from enjoying cultural products, then something is...

    Why are Fontaine decks so appreciated?

    Fontaines are beautiful in my opinion, but not worth their high price. I have some NOCs and honestly, I expected more from The Blue Crown the finish is not very good. I stick to Bicycle cards most of the time, they have a classic design that looks great in my opinion, and they are cheap enough...

    One-on-one session

    Either Chris Kenner or Jason England. They both have a knowledge on card magic that's absolutely impressive. I'm pretty sure anyone could learn a lot from them with a 5 minute talk, an hour would be awesome.

    I'm 15 yrs old and want to become a card magician but..

    Why choose? Days are long enough in order to do both things! You can study, go to university, finish a career and practise card magic at the same time. I am currently studying software engineering and I've never stopped learning new magic, going every week to our local magic club and enjoying...

    Is There Any Purchases You Regret?

    Is There Any Purchases You Regret?

    Hey! Long time no see ;) I have many purchases I regret, and most of them are due to over the top gimmicks that are uncomfortable to get in and out. Many tricks that I've bought have ended on a shelf for that reason. Most of the times I perform, I'm in a casual situation, and while carrying a...
