Well okay I accept that there is some but I'm interested in finding more :P

I'll definitely keep those in mind, thanks a lot!

No it's not; I already have that. EATCT goes quite far into sleights but not very far into the theory, mindset and misdirection. I.e it's the exact opposite of what I specified in my request.

Where can I find a source for practical aspects of using card sleights in a card game? I've found that whilst I can do the sleights I'd still have no idea how to do them at a card table. It's okay to know how to false shuffle or bottom deal, but how are the cards located, and how to you manage...

Is that actually stop motion, or just a video with some frames taken out?

The plot (colour changing deck) is certainly not your idea, it's an old idea. But the colour change you used I've certainly never seen before. It's pretty damn good if I do say so myself.

I'm not sure to he honest. I don't really know what it is and just want to learn a little bit more about it :L I mean I know what it IS, in the sense that its suggesting one choice over another, but is it just an application of priming? Or is it a form of subliminal messaging? (Psychology...

I second (or third, fourth or fifth) this motion.

I saw my name in the title. Needless to say I was concerned.

This is good stuff, I didn't expect this much of a discussion! In terms of teleportation, are there any words we could use in place of "jump"? Because the literal action of jumping would be seen and is therefore false.

Hey! Are there any good books on the area of suggestion? I googled "magician book on suggestion" but it only came up with suggestions for magic books. *groan*

Why do we say "jump"? "The coin jumped to your shoulder" "The cards jumped to under the box" Surely there must be a better word than "jump" which has absolutely no bearing on what we actually mean.

I had a quick look in my copy of Bobo's and couldn't find the move. What's it called in the book?

I've been into magic for about 5 years now and until recently the idea of a mentor for magic has never really appealed to me. I heard through a friend about a man named "Tyler Erickson" who was supposed to be very good. I had my first lesson with him last night and I must say that he is 100X...

Where can I find a resource for Han Pin Chen (the sleight, not the person)? I've heard it used a few times and whilst I can guess how it's done I'd rather learn the ins and outs from a book.

Black: (KH) White: (8H) Black: (3H) White: (JC)

Thanks guys!

I always thought that the silver and white Monarchs were the same thing. Now I've learnt that they are different, but I don't see the difference. Could someone help?

I don't tend to come up with the methods first, I find that this (most of the time) leads to bad magic. You may have to make 5 effects this way before any of them are good enough to use. Here is my method for creation: 1) I have a theme. This is something like chance, gambling, mind-reading...

I agree that it would be good to see this with real patter. Especially the first one. Whilst it looks original I don't know how you may have come up with a patter that isn't basic enough to be long the lines of "look what I can do"
