My patter when teaching spectators how to shuffle consists of me telling them the names of shuffles then me demonstrating them: overhand shuffle, hindu shuffle, riffle shuffle, then "show-off shuffle" a.k.a. Sybil. It always triggers laughs, but my friend who's into cardistry told me how ugly...

Thank you for the list of resources! I did assume this "card production" was related to stacked decks, but I revently saw a performance of fhe magician letting the spectator shuffle the deck, then he still produces named cards from that shuffled deck. I guess that really blew my mind. Thank you!

The magician produces any card the spectator names from a shuffled deck. I believe it's in Lennart Green's Masterfile, but is this effect published anywhere in print? I personally want to get into the habit of learning from books over videos.

I was watching Harry Lorayne's Ambitious Card Routine and I believe he starts off the routine with a classic force behind his back. I never considered using the classic force in this way, so out of curiosity, I decided to test it out on a spectator, and was shocked to find the force successful...

I purchased Royal Road to Card Magic and Expert Card Technique so I could get into the habit of learning from books rather than online videos. After I go through those, I plan to purchase Expert at the Card Table and Card Control by Arthur Buckley (I think I'm more interested in sleights than...

Maybe I'm doing something incorrectly, but...

I keep reading the method for the Top Palm First Method over and over again, and I'm not exactly sure on the movement of the left little finger and how it is executed. Can anybody help me on this? Thanks.

I would say I'm pretty decent at palming, even though the cards are larger than my hands. I auditioned for the high school talent show with a simple card to pocket routine, which requires me to palm a card, and later the whole deck. I somehow got in and fooled the judges. I realized that when...
