    Sharing Is Caring (Feedback Appreciated)

    Just wanted to share a little move I came up with earlier this week. It can be it's own little trick, like a tenkai vanish, or it can be a utility move for some tricks. I've most recently adapted it to my invisible palm routine for the last card, but please, share other ideas too; Take a card...

    When They Believe...?

    I'm sure most of us have been here, but what do you do when they believe your patter? For example: reverse shuffling (a.k.a. a series of false shuffles with the deck starting in order). It somehow loses it's magicalness when people actually believe that it exists. Static electricity...

    Stage Close-Up

    So, I'm a card and minor coin guy, and I'm doing a talent show tonight. What's the best way to make sure everyone can see without the aid of camera-projector combo? Basically, what tricks are more visible? I'm trying to pick my brain, but it's hard coming up with some of this. Thanks in advance...

    A Battle Button

    I know that there's already a link in the Media section, but could we maybe put one on the home page? I know that would be the first place I go if it were there. It would just be more convenient. Any takers? Thanks for listening Admins (I hope)... SG

    ITR Tricks

    Well, I've just purchased this magnificent thing, and was wondering what other tricks were possible besides a floating bill. PM or, if it's not too much exposure, then post! Thanks. SG

    Silencing Coins and Cheap Gimmicks

    1. I'm just starting out in coin magic, but am having some problems that I'm assuming every seasoned coin person has come across. I've purchased and can perform the alternate version of CoinTwo well, except I can't figure out how to make these guys be quiet when they're rubbing up against each...

    Eye Contact

    Well, I've been performing a lot more recently, mainly at our high school graduation parties, and I'm finding out great new, subtle crowd control techniques. My main question, is how do you guys, those who actually go out and perform, establish eye contact and maintain it (so as to keep them...

    Blind Shuffling (False Shuffling)

    When doing a complete deck false shuffle, I've got a problem/question. After riffle shuffling, and after the "sqaure up", when I'm stripping the packet out to be cut back onto the top, there is a very large amount of resistance, i.e. the packet pulls out cards from the other packet, or, more...

    The Second Deal

    Having finished the first hundred pages or so of the Erdnase bible, I have a question on the Seond Deal. I don't think that this is exposure because I'm only revealing my deduced way of second dealing. Erdnase teaches it one way, which I'm sure works great, but I'm just wondering if anyone else...

    En France!

    Well, I'm in France and was wondering if anyone knows of any good magic shops worth looking into! I'm on Rue Jacob off San Germaine (spelling?) and the closer the better. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance! SG

    To Wait, or not To Wait...

    Naturally, when I heard about Extreme Burn, I decided to check it out. It took all of my will power not to click purchase right then and there. So I've been following Prophet and checking out all of the reviews etc, but I still can't decide whether to wait for Prophet and then decide, or to go...

    Spectators' Questions

    What do you guys do when spectators ask "too many" questions. The thing that keeps happening when I perform is they ask a question too early that their eyes will answer in a second. Let's say they ask if their card is on top, and it is (with the help of a DL), but their asking sort of takes them...

    Derren Brown's "Smoke"

    This has hopefully been asked somewhere before, but nothing came up on the search feature. Does anyone know how to do this or know where this is published, if it is? Thanks in advance. SG

    Double-backed cards

    Hey everyone. So, obviously the new thing when buying decks is including a double backed card with the deck. While I am in NO way complaining, I have yet to come across a trick that used double-backed cards. Double-facers, yes, but I'm having some trouble... I really wanna put these gifts to...
