I discovered magic via David Blaine in his street magic video that hit our shores in the '90s. Yet I have only recently started to actually try and do magic myself (This has been explained elsewhere, but I do believe it is important, as I am not a professional with all the know-how and why's so...

Dangit. I never got no discount! :)

I have not read the thread, but Magic for humans...so many much much photo tricks. Yes, they can be done by sleight, but stooges of note.

Thank you all. This has proven to be the most helpful forum for my beginner questions and comments. I recently discovered another magician Steve Faulkner on YouTube, and have signed up for his course. He covers the practice methodology that has been outstanding. This doesn't cover what, but how...

So, I am new to magic, which I have repeatedly stated :) I have Card Colledge, RRTCM and their DVD accompaniments. I stumbled across Steve Faulkner's reviews on some tricks. He pushed his course with the most gracious appeal on one of his videos. I decided to check it out. let me state...

So in line with being a newbie... I have RRTCM and volume 1 and 2 of card college and have been going through RRTCM first. I am thinking about changing over to CC purely due to the language used in the books. But this is all besides the point of this thread. Do you know of any practice...

I understand what you are saying, and I fully agree with you. I just think that my hands should have some sort of muscle memory that could transpose itself to cards :) Do you know of any tapping tricks? You are right though, and I think my love for the art is making me wish I was way beyond...

So, I am 37 years old. Loved sleight of hand for at least 20 years. I have always believed that this stuff was hidden from plain sight, and with me being a South African, there is no library where we can learn it. So comes the internet age, and I finally find it via Chris Ramsey (No idea how I...

Joel Osteen preaches at his fathers church. His father was the pastor for many, many years. Joel Osteen was at first his fathers cameraman. His father then asked him to preach. He didn't want to. But he eventually did. And now we are here. His son is also slowly starting to preach at his...

Love the real world example. Thank you. Good luck on your journey, I can only dream of making a living doing what you love. I'm South African, so there aren't many magicians here as is, but that's also due to the economic landscape. Suppose it's a way to dig into corporate gigs and stand out...

Hey all. Question, I was wondering about those of us who started magic later in life than the norm, say 35-40. While I understand any art never carries an age limit, it is far rarer to start and Excell at this age group. Who here started at a later stage in life and has made a career out of...

Thank you so much!

Thanks guys. I live in South Africa, with temps rising, it's not doing any good. So it must be the humidity. I vape a ton, and my screen is fine, as well as my keyboard. Weird! Will just have to rotate decks more.

Hey guys. I vape. A lot. I was wondering if any of you have any issues of card clumping a crap load quicker while vaping around them. I sit at my desk and practice while vaping and have found my fans clumping after two days of use on a new deck. Just wondering if it's just me or if it...

Thank you for the input guys. Much appreciated! Considering I am but a few weeks into this endeavour, I will continue on with the League Backs and see how I progress. Perhaps pick up a custom deck at a later stage when my handling is better and I can perhaps feel a difference. Or if I just want...

Hey all. Total beginner here at 36 years of age. I hail from the continent of Africa, South Africa to be exact. Coming across quality cards this side is extremely difficult and costly. With import duties and shipping you are looking at $40 at least for 1 pack of cards shipped via Fed Ex, DHL...
