I found this rather interesting email in my inbox a few minutes ago. I'm personally still awaiting around $600 of merch from a pre-order made in mid March. I liked the idea of helping support and kickstart an independent venture, but this is gutshot after gutshot. I understand breakdowns...

So it's something that if you're a performer, is in some way relevant to you. Complex maneuvers for card mechanic demonstrations or sleights, learning that mnemonica stack from the book that penguin just delivered to your door, the list goes on. Though may you're on here and you want to play the...

If you could only say one word to help a beginning magician, what would it be? Fulves.

So I got a free copy of Madison's Kill The Architect e-book and there is a very interesting excerpt just from the intro: "What I believe to be the most interesting factor in my self-qualified position, is that all of these morals where acquired during what became a twenty-year long performance...

Price: £22 / Free for Sleight Club members Length: 3 hours 45 minutes with 16 segments If you've poked around any products, notes or the magic stream that involve bottom dealing with Madison, then you know what to expect on a base level. The grip and the dealing. He's covered it a few times...

Gaffs, gimmicks, torn and signed cards... you’re going to end up with extras. So what do you do? If I’m not using Wreck as my closer, chances are they’re going in some Rubbermaid box labeled back + color and be cycled through for a bunch of signs or tears. They’re almost always ready to...

Having been using magicstream for awhile + browsing the store on T11, I found myself wondering. Would a similar pay to access archive be useful? There are quite a few out of stock items, some of course requiring gimmicks (or possibly you make them. I don’t know, as I haven’t seen the reveal)...

I thought about it a decent amount before posting this thread. There are loads of great tricks for the beginner. Variations of the 4 aces, triumphs, torn and restored... the list could go on and on. What would you suggest and why? After weighing in reactions and effort... I ended up going with...

For various purposes, I’m looking to purchase say like 2 bricks of Bees in 2 variants and 2 split color bricks of tallyho fans and circle backs. Are there any places I should be aware of for good deals? T11 isn’t terrible on pricing for them for you never really know. Googling just lead me to...

As I look at the bricks (hyperbole) of various gorgeous decks i’ve collected, and my hands in the mirror, getting each sleight tighter and less visible... I realized through a simple demo of a routine with my skeptic friend that performing everything so neatly and even using something that isn’t...

Had a funny moment today. Was genuinely trying to lose a spectator’s card for a reveal elsewhere after going through the top few cards a la magician in peril. Riffle, cut, riffle offer to let them cut.. and what do you know. It’s the first card off the top and they’re impressed. “I didn’t even...

I may have had too much free time and needed a break from actually practicing flourishes. Hopefully you crack a smile and respect to all the cardists out there, the work you guys do is amazing.

As I’m a somewhat visual learner and like to master things by actually seeing it, I noticed that my falses are pretty rubbish. Sometimes obvious, sometimes I just make a cut up because I fumbled a pass. From what I’m gathering, Madison’s Mechanic 1 & 2 might be up my alley and possibly DM x...

The packet thread reminded me of this and it’s something that i’ve been meaning to find for awhile. Yes, they can be corny and silly, however when well timed and ditched a gaff can make a impact. A little routine on your way to the routine if you want. Or maybe a chaptrick reveal. So that...

When it comes to books, I honestly prefer a real copy instead of messing with my tablet. I feel like I don’t absorb what I read as well when it is in a digital format. Of course there are probably more pros to just getting over it... anyways. I was wondering where this would sit on the...

I’m a rather tall and lanky guy at 6’9” and have proportional hands. I was trying to follow along with a routine that piqued my interest and noticed that with quarters and half dollars I’m about as a dexterous as toddler. Granted this could be the innate difficulty of coin magic, but getting...
