Hey guys, I was just wondering how you guys record your magic effects. I need to rewrite all of my magic effects, and I am confused on whether or not I should group all my effects into routines or write down each individual effect as if I am going to perform them all seperately...What should I do?

Hey guys, I have been doing magic for about 5 years, and cardistry for about 4 years. I noticed that in the past 4 years cardistry has been severely hindering my development in magic. I would always spend hours at a time practicing flourishes, and I would always feel mentally drained trying to...

Hey guys, So I am perfroming in front of my high school, and I am going to do card manipulation and apearing/vanishing canes mixed with other things like snowstorm and mouth coils. However I think it would be awesome to add some parasol magic to my routine. I have only 2 months to prepare...

Hey guys, I have been flourishing for about 3 yrs, and there is one question that has been flowing in my mind ever since I started. Do you guys think that it is possible to be on a commercial preforming cardistry...Is there anyway to like attend a commercial audition to show the people in charge...

Messing up on a stage act...... Hey guys, I just had a stage performance the other day for my high school. I did good however, my vanishing cane decided not to close......all the way. I was so embarrassed when it happened. I was doing so well. I did my card manipulation routine, rope...

Annoying "POP" in cards... Hello everyone, I hate it when I leave cards in my pocket or my bag just for a second then I take them out and they are like bent in the middle. That annoying Pop thing in the middle of the deck has been annoying me for some time now. It is like a Snapple cap. It...

Don't you guys hate when random people at school....or even your friends take your cards, hold them hostage, hide them, or worse run away with them. For example: Me: (I put my cards down without the box and when I turn for a quick second they are missing)"hey wheres my cards" Classmate...

Hey guys, I just wanted to know what are your thoughts on preforming DEAD tricks (effects that were revealed many times to the public by people like criss angel, the masked magician ,and kids on youtube who wanted quick subscribers). For example, the balducci levitation or whatever it is...

Okay..... I have been getting sick of doing card tricks the same way all the time. I always make them pick a card, and then I reveal the card in many different ways. I know many color changes ,so i was wondering with good patter can a color change be its own trick by itself. For example...

Hey guys, I was doing cardistry on the train one day ,and a lot of people were looking. After about 8 flourishes people started to look away. It seems that unlike XCM, flourishes get boring to laymen very quickly. I know about 38 flourishes not including two handed cuts, displays ,and XCM...

Okay guys, I bought XCM world champions a while ago and I loved it, but there is one big problem I am having. There are two awesome moves in this DVD that I badly want to learn. In order to learn these moves I need to learn something called the card brush. Unfortunately, the move is not taught...

Okay guys.... I have been searching up this topic online for a while. I have been getting many mixed answers. I heard that preforming magic shows confidence and girls love confidence ,but then I heard that many girls think magic is lame based on past experiences. Then I heard that girls love...

Okay guys.. I feel kind of stupid for saying this ,but my patter is horrible. The thing that is hardest for me to do when preforming is entertaining the crowd. I am just horrible at it. When I preform my card magic I usually tell the spectator what is going on and then I remain quiet for them...
