BTW that pull down with the ring finger in ATM is going to take awhile. Cant even get enough pressure on card. gotta build up that muscle!

Also just to be clear. I’m not so much asking what to learn. I understand to start with the basics and build. Just wondering if I should just stick to all these basic building blocks and get them really smooth before moving onto other things. I’m thinking sometimes that too much information...

Luckily my riffle was already okay. I am learning spring as well.

Just curious about opinions on learning Cardistry. For the last week I’ve had a deck of cards in my hands most of the day. I’ve only been trying to work on very basics. Swing cut Swivel cut Thumb fan Charlier cut Revolution cut Sybil Should I just stick with those foundational moves until...

Just keep at it. It’s like anything. If your hands and brain are unfamiliar with the movements it takes time to learn them and then to get it into your muscle memory. Its not easy and will require a lot of practice and repetition. Just like it took for every single person you see that can do...

Found this in my father-in-law’s garage and he gave it to me. It’s my first deck holder and the A Treat Bottling Co. crate allows the plastic cassette tape holders to fit perfectly. It will fit 42 decks. A Treat Bottling Co. was founded in 1918 in Allentown, PA and served the Lehigh Valley. My...

I’m a true novice when it comes to magic/Cardistry but was wondering if there would be any interest in seeing reviews of different decks with the main focus being on the art of the cards? I see plenty of reviews on YT and online where much of the focus is on the handling of the cards and...

I’m really enjoying learning some basics of Cardistry. The satisfaction of something seeming impossible becoming possible is exciting! Three days ago a Charlier cut seemed too hard. Now it’s smooth yet slow. Still needs to work to improve. Once I kind of had that I tried a Revolution cut...

After just several days with the Artifice Blue deck, these feel fantastic. Also, I’m finding already that I like cards with borders on the backs. I have a deck of Black Ghost and Arcanes, and I will still collect those kinds of decks because I do like the art on them, but they don’t seem to look...

Thanks!! Right now I’ve used mostly Ellusionist How to be a Magician DVDs and Card College 1. Your answer also brings up another good question. For you experienced people, in hindsight, what if anything would you have learned or done differently when you were first starting out? Lessons...

I was just wondering about something. I’m a real beginner learning the very basics right now (Double Lift, forces, false cuts, etc.) but I know not to post on social media until it’s really good enough. Aside from trying to find a local person as a mentor, which isn’t happening now anyway...

I’m new at all this but I just got a Blue v2 deck. This will be another thing that appeals to me because I love collecting and I’m already all about it. My first three decks are this one, Keeper Blue and Arcane. Also have some T11 Monarchs and Unions in route.

Gavin is a monster drummer. My fave!! Was lucky to see PT at their last US show at Radio City. I’m a huge fan. Thanks for the warm welcome.

For magic I always loved Ricky Jay. David Blaine I enjoy watching perform a lot and recently I discovered Chris Ramsay and like his personality and teaching style. Bass players: Geddy Lee (note my screen name) as well as Colin Edwin (Porcupine Tree) and The Who’s John Entwistle.

Hello everyone. People call me Chief and I’m a 51 year old retired Navy guy who has decided to delve into learning some sleight of hand. Now I did “dip my toe in the water” back around 2004 or so but I was still active duty and just didn’t devote the time to it, and this is where this older...
