Very nice work Gabriel. I couldn't make out everything you were saying in the videos, however. What is the name of these false cuts? I've recently been working on the false cuts I learned from Roberto Giobbi's Card College, specifically the Gamblers Triple False Cut, the Affa Gaffas False...

Basically what you're talking about is an object that creates an optical illusion, right? I've seen the numerous ones you've posted in the optical illusions subreddit, and there's some nice stuff there. For similar ideas, I especially like these: magnet like slopes, 3D schroder staircase...

Having a complete and authoritative list like this is really helpful and appreciated. Thanks for doing this!

You might get some good answers to this if you post your question over on the cardistry subreddit on Reddit.

It's certainly very professional looking. And I love the fact that they have lots of terrific high quality photos of the tuck boxes and playing cards.

Great list, thanks for posting that Casey!

The description reminds me of several self-working mathematical tricks that work much like this. Take a look at these: - "Necromantic Calculation" by Roland Hamblen, as described in Hugard's Encyclopedia of Card Tricks. - "The Puzzler" by Bob Short, as described in Scarne on Card Tricks (p129)...

Does anyone here use Parkin Email Premonition? It's web-based, but I've been impressed with what I've seen of it so far. It lets you send an email with a prediction before an event, and when the person opens up the email, they see that your prediction is exactly correct.

Liquid Paper by The Virts is probably one of the best cardistry videos of all time.

I personally just have the 2021 version, and don't have a 2019 version to compare it with. But to my knowledge they are identical, just different printings. It would be good to know if there are other differences.

Randy Butterfield has created a couple of gorgeous ancient Rome themed decks. You'll find them if you google: ROME: Antony & Caesar Playing Cards.

Thanks for sharing that Lyle, appreciated.

Are you sure this is correct? The Code first appeared in 2013. According to information I received, the origin of the Maiden Backs lies in the work of Geno Munari (from Houdini's Magic) and magician Boris Wild. Geno produced the Gambler's Marked Deck in 2008, using the Rider Back design...

It was back in March 2021 when the original poster first started this thread.

Any advice? You should find it easy to get into given your experience with card magic. These two articles should give you some tips: ● How to Get Started in Cardistry ● Top Moves and Flourishes That Beginners in Cardistry Should Learn

A quick colour change, like the Erdnase Change.

That's fantastic. What kind of magic do you especially focus on, and what are some tricks you'd include in a performance?

The person that wrote that is Don Boyer. He's very well informed and respected, and is in the executive of the 52 Plus Joker playing card club. That's great and reliable info.

Some great entries, well done all! I especially liked the playing card themed one by Milan01.
