    Who would you meet?

    Penn and Teller or Dynamo, simply because they're the first magicians I ever saw that made me think 'wow I want to amaze people like that' I can't remember who exactly I saw first but if I had to pick I'd have to choose Penn and Teller

    Do sealed card decks age?

    Where you store them will impact it. For example, all my cards are on a shelf - because a.) it's always dry and b.) the shelf is set back, like into the wall, so direct sunlight and therefore heat is not on them

    Buying Cards in Europe

    new to Cardistry - Tally Ho deck

    In my opinion, bikes are a bit too slippy for cardistry, but maybe that's just because I'm bad it haha Tally Ho's are good for cardistry, the problems with them might be the humidity in your home yeah. Try putting them under heavy books or weights after you use them and see if that helps them...

    Scariest part of performing?

    Things that generally worry me the most are a.) One of the spectators being a heckler b.) Being caught doing the sleight the trick relies on, for example being caught doing the triple lift in two card monte But my biggest fear is failure, no matter how much I convince myself that failure makes...

    More Practical Magic (Need Advice)

    Yeah, me too! I just never found coin routines that I think are powerful enough Nice, could you link me to any performance videos of these and the places to learn them? :) Being honest, I don't have coin magic books or anything really. I just kind of know the basics (palming, french drop...

    Frustrating Situations?

    This situation: "Oh yeah that's cool but, I used to do magic lemme show you something!" *takes cards* *proceeds to do the self-working trick where the cards are in three piles that I have seen so many times*

    Backpalm

    I can't remember the original book, but I remember that I couldn't get it down so I started to look online (forums etc) for tips but couldn't find anything to prevent the card being exposed at my pinky. Any tips you may have would help out a lot :)

    Backpalm

    This is going to sound stupid and make me seem like I'm so new to magic and know nothing about it, but anyways I've learnt a lot of sleights, moves, tricks etc in my time doing magic, but one thing I could literally never get down is the backpalm. Yeah, it probably sounds stupid because it's...

    Strongest Card trick?

    If performed right two card monte is very powerful, I've performed a lot of card effects to this one friend, but she always asks me 'do that one where the two cards switch!' It gets great reactions for me :)

    Packets

    I did this to learn the Sybil cut the first time I ever tried it, and I can say it helped me. But as Josh above me said, definitely know when to take them off and not become too dependant on them

    Bicycle vs Tally Ho

    I'll probably sound silly here, but I don't own any Tally Ho decks. Although they look great for cardistry, I like the circle backs. In terms of bicycles unless I've had them a long time I steer clear of using them for cardistry, because they are quite slippery.

    How can I get to cardistry???pls help

    I myself am pretty bad at cardistry, but I learnt some moves because I just practised while I was watching Netflix, youtube, on long journeys etc. Also, I remember this - when I first started magic, I couldn't fan the cards, spread them, or even swing cut them. But now I could do them all...

    Everyday carries

    Usually, I just take around some rubber bands, a paperclip, the invisible deck and a regular bicycle deck with some duplicates in. Sometimes I'll take (prepared in a different colour box, etc) the set up for the colour changing deck. Also, I'll sometimes take a sharpie with me if I want to do...
