    Favourite Playing Cards?

    Well, I don't want to be another D&D fanboy, but my favorite decks would have to be the Smoke and Mirrors v4-6 reprints. They handle beautifully. The thing is, Aristocrat stock paired with Linoid finish(nearly 100% sure it's linoid) is the perfect combination for both magic and cardistry. They...

    What Next?

    Craig, you have an excellent point. I would love to move to other aspects of magic and expand my knowledge. I just wouldn't know what props or items to invest in.

    I've hit a magical wall

    I've recently been practicing magic pretty hardcore for the last little while and I've come upon a little dilemma. I can't seem to progress any further with my skills. I know quite a few sleights, routines, and effects. The main problem is that creating my own personal effects is near impossible...
