    Ungimmicked Rising Card Effects

    I definetly know that gimmicks make your job easier. I just like to be clean at the end of an effect and not have to do any deck switches if I start out with a gimmicked deck rather than closing with it.

    Creativity and Creating Magic with Cards

    Thanks d4v1dm15n3r! That was great information to read. I myself have also come up with a very easy way to do Triumph. I called it Triumphant because it isn't just the usual Triumph, it is a reveal and prediction effect. But it is way easier than the usual Triumph. However, you can see the trend...

    Creativity and Creating Magic with Cards

    Creating original card magic seems to be an easy task at first. When you come up with the idea you go into thinking about a possible method to achieve the effect and then you grab a deck of cards and you make it work. But then you realize that when you perform it for other people the method...
