Wow! Two tricks that totally just wiped my mind of all stress and replaced it with wonder. One day I hope to be that effective! Thanks!

JoshL8: Thank you for your guidance. I'm sure you'll agree T11 is a fantastic organization of people who genuinely agree that magic is both important and needs to be shared with others for their fun and enjoyment. As a business it needs to be respected.

Using Lexicon or Alphabet Cards, I've seen a magician have a spectator eliminate several cards in separate batches, at a time, only to have a few cards remaining. Those cards remaining then spell the spectator' name. At the beginning of this routine, the spectator is shown that all the cards...

Well, that is your opinion. And I respect your opinion. However, some of the Y/tube videos are well done and explained. Not all Y/tube videos are of high quality, of course. But some are indeed good. The problem I've described in starting this thread has got to be a very common problem...

Thanks for the suggestions. I will have to try some suggestions. It's just so disheartening to want to practice some of the flourishes I've described earlier in this thread only to be frustrated because your fingers a smooth and don't have enough grip on the cards. All you really need is some...

Hello magic masters: Hand lotions don't work. Octopalm too sticky and too hard to apply to specific parts of the hand or fingers. There's got to be a way to make your fingers a bit more able to gain some friction on cards. This is necessary when trying to do various effect like: Top Shot Card...

OM Gosh! Thank you Antonio Diavolo. When I finally can free up my time to continue my study of magic, this is something I will learn. I simply cannot believe that this is possible. Bravo!!!!

What is Flux Deal? Where is available? (If that is correct.) What part of his act is this used? Can you point to the specific segment of his show, so I can see what you are talking about? Thanks for your answer.

Well now Antonio, I do believe there must be some source materials which Eric used to produce such wonderful magic. Either those source materials exist or Eric is unbelievably creative. There must be someone a T11 who knows about the source materials he used. Many of us who are serious about...

Hello Magic Friends: I want to know where to find out the secrets which Eric Chien used in his recent performances on AGT? I realize Garrett Thomas does a simpler type of effect with coin magic on a basic level. But Eric has taken this effect to much higher levels of magic. Now why can't people...

I love you guys! I do! And whenever it appears--it will appear! Trust me! I know what I know and I know this to shall happen! You'll see! Just watch!

Andrei: I've been moving rather at a slow pace through Genesis V1. I haven't reviewed the entire video because I'm trying to master one technique at a time. Question: On the Length-wise Triangle. In the demo, you do a closing move called Blink. What is actually happening to the cards...

I'm just interested here in about your comparison between the YouTube video and Jason England's instructional video. What can you say here? I learned about this Pinky Count from a card routine called Memento by Bobby Hasbun, which I'm still trying to figure out. Seems like once I get this...

Hey Rick: Thanks for the pointer to Jason England's Pinky Count. However, I found this link on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NPMifa5p4bU Please review it and answer the following question: I'm wondering if Jason's video instruction has a different technique for executing the Pinky...

Yup...I expect the best from the people at T11. Thanks Rick!

Hello All: Can anybody explain how to do: "a pinky count to obtain a break below the top three cards" of a deck held in your hand? This may be a simple question, but I wonder if there is anything available showing the right way to do a pinky count. Thank you

Tyler (aka: gavinross): The first paragraph of your post (#6) makes some assumptions which do not give me credit where credit is due. The concept (as you put it) ""try, fail, and adjust" is not foreign to me. Matter of fact, it is something which I've been in the process of doing without your...

To The Three Who've Responded to date: The analogies presented pointing to having prior knowledge are indeed legitimate rebuttals. I understand your point-of-view's. What I need to tell all of you, however, is that I have only navigated this site on several occasions. As such, I wasn't...

Bizau and Andrei came up with a great looking effect. They make this look rather easy, don’t they? However, as one quickly learns, this trick requires prior ability at performing a card spring and some serious practice is required. Andrei did mention early on in his tutorial that this trick...
