Hi all, I just purchased the first Card College volume, and I’m thinking about purchasing the second one as well, however, I have a few questions before I spend $40 on it. I already know a few of the slights taught in the second book, however, the chapter on Misdirection is what really...

Hi all, I’m not trying to reveal too much, but I have a question about Mnemonica. Suppose that someone picks the JH as their card, and you ask them to pick a number between 1 and 25, and they pick 2, what out would you use in a situation like that?

Hi all, Could anyone point me in the right direction as to where to research what Card Switching devices do and what kind of effects can be obtained by using them? I am looking into purchasing one (particularly M-Case or Mint Box) but before I make a purchase I want to make sure it accomplishes...

Hi guys. I started doing magic less than 2 months ago. I have bought some tricks from theory 11, and I just enjoy it so much. But to my question, what books should I get in order to learn basic magic, particularly sleight of hand, card tricks, coin tricks, and some other basic tricks like cups...
