The problem I have with the second deal is that often I pull more than one card forward, sometimes even clumps of cards. Needless to say, that ruins the whole move. How do I stop that from happening?

I can do the charlier cut and hold the half packs with the index finger in between just fine. It's the upcoming parts that are the problem. My most recurring problem is that when I try to interlace the packages, the leftmost one will open too much and the right pack will slide itself entirely...

Every video I find about dice control covers dice controlling at craps, which is bound to throwing over a 20 feet long table, together with other thousands of rules, and as a result the techniques are far too farfetched. I just want to throw dice by myself at a surface and control the outcoming...

Hey guys I've been experimenting with this method of Ed Cooke for deck memorization. It seems to work pretty well since I can memorize a whole stack in about 20 minutes-half an hour and I have just begun. (compared to the stack I have in my long term memory which I memorized without any...

So anyone knows card tricks which require quick calculations or memorization for performing? I kind of want to practice mind skills rather than only sleight of hand... Where can I find some source on those kinds of tricks?

Hi I am considering buying Juan Tamariz's lesosns in Magic in order to learn some card tricks. Anyone who has watched it can enlighten me on how hard is it to perform them? Because if it's too hard it's not going to be worthy for my level of skill (at least for now) Now if it requires only...

A lot of magicians seem to look down on mentalism. Some famous magicians even say so while on tv. I take it one argument is that all mentalism tricks are the same... Are they though? Each one has a different mechanism behind it so I doubt it. Also if same premise equals same trick can't that be...

So I was reading Corinda's book and I especially liked that first chapter because I realize I could do a lot of nice tricks if I had in hands one of those... Swamis Then I did a quick research and it turns out people oscillate between three things: swami, boon or the super sharpie, which...

There are some tricks which require the deck to be on a certain order, so I was wondering... Is there an optimal way to arrange a deck which can be done on a short time, without making it blatant obvious you are setting the cards up? Notice I'm not speaking necessarily about doing it on stage...

So whenever I start using the decks a lot it naturally will create some crimps here and there, which is confusing whenever I want to use the crimp as a card control. So is there a quick way to uncrimp the cards so that after uncrimping the next crimp I do is the only one remaining? thx

Hey guys so whenever you ask a spectator to say a card out loud some cards are more picked than others, so I was wondering if there are any studies on the most picked cards like... A table with order of most picked ones or something like that. Any place where this stuff is discussed?

Hi. I'm new to this thread thing so not sure if this goes here, so bear with me? So... Anyone knows if there is such thing as name deal? Like... The spectator names a card and you deal it right away? Then names another and you deal again, and so on..? I'd like to see a way to do this Thanks
