What is a long distance spinner? Kostya Kimlat had revealed his trick on his YouTube channel, and he said that it was a feat of skill, in the sense that there was no magic trick, and that he actually timed the dribble and caught the cards.

By this definition, I think there several changes that fit your example, since you consider "cover" to be movement, and not a physical cover. Rel change Bertram change / TeBe change The classic palm color change Booster gold by Simon Black (which I hate him for inventing because I thought I...

Royal Road to Card Magic, by Jean Hugard and Frederick Braue seems perfect for you. You will learn the basics of sleight of hand as well as several magic tricks in the book. You will have to make up your own patter though, because some most probably won't fit in the 21st century.

Considering visual Twisting the Aces routines, which would you prefer? What are the advantages and disadvantages of both? The powerfulness of the effects? Which needs more setup? Difficulty has never deterred me, but what regarding the sleights? Obviously I do not require a revelation of the...

What are the moves that use the Flushtration count principle? These three were the only ones I could find: The traditional counting method (both Hindu shuffle grip and Biddle grip versions) The Orion count or Salsa count The Kiss count by Boris Wild The Rumba count But I know there are more...

So I'll start with saying that the turnover pass is my favourite in-the-hands pass. The first time I saw the turnover pass, I just didn't get it. It was so illogical. How would you time everything so that the upper packet would cover up the lower packet? The reality is that timing plays no...

Yeah, the mechanics are exactly that of the Slipshot (or Benzais Spin Out), except it it longitudinal and one handed.

So do you think that I should go for it? Or do you think that I should rather invest in something else? P.S. As a side note, I've been hearing some people talking about the "Card Trick Addiction/Poisoning", who talk rather derogatorily regarding what they call plastic coated paste boards...

So I've got EATCT, ECT, RRTCM, The Complete Walton, the Card Manipulation series (being in the public domain) and Meir Yedid's Incredible Close Up Magic. I have a pretty great foundation on magic. I know several good card controls, from shuffle controls to shifts and steals; I can palm okay: I...

So, this a question that I get asked often by my audiences. It's rather annoying, as you can't just rate your tricks like that, and even if you did have 'best' trick, that would not be the right crowd mentality you want, since the spectators will be extremely judgemental and not really enjoy the...

I domt find any problem doing Triumph effects with borderless decks, and double lifts are fine too, but they can be a real pain with false counts like Elmsley/Ghost and Jordan counts. It's not just a matter of practice—even if the cards are completely squared, a small white line will give...

If you want to learn something like this, read Meir Yedid's Incredible Close Up Magic by Gary Ouellet. The Slingshot Snapout is a similar move.

It seems to be a flirt (a cardistry flourish) used at a shot. (I think it might be taught in Shin Lim's IV, but, not yet having purchased the product, I can't be sure.)

Shin Lim is one of the most revolutionary card magicians according to my opinion, but I haven't heard a lot of good about his teachings. I'm not talking about the big stuff, like Dream Act and 52 Shades of Red, but his other products like IV, ShinSplint and Spellbound. I wanted to buy...

I've beeb reading the first volume of The Complete Walton, and I have to say that the book is filled with tricks. There are seeral tricks that I do like, and several tricks that I will most probably never do in my life. The book is too long for me to go trick by trick, so could someone pinpoint...

Does he teach it anywhere? Could you give a link? I find it really hard to believe that one could use it that way! I will definitely want to learn that. Thanks.

He does spend a few minutes on the uses of the classic pass, but yeah, the actual instruction given for the classic pass is not extremely detailed. The entire video is thirty minutes long, and most of it goes to explaining the history of the pass and other resources to learning the classic pass...

I'm a huge fan of the top shot, and will always do it at least once a day, usually in front of the mirror. Several times, when looking at the mirror, I don't even see the card jumping to my hand. This is really incredible, since it opens many possibilities. It could be the best palm reveal ever...

I've never heard of this principle. What's it about?

Kyle Eschen is also a great comedy magician, although I don't think he'd ever do a joke like this. He probably will get away with this, since he could do it in a way that he was mocking his social skills or something.
