Hi, I was wondering if the card stock on the Archangels are actually any different vs a standard Bicycle deck sold in most local stores. I'm deciding between Archangels and Bicycle Gold Standards.

So I was wondering what you guys do to condition cards for card manipulation. I came back to magic a month ago, and finally wore out my very old deck to the point where I had to get a new one. However, I forgot what McBride and Sheridan said about conditioning a new pack of cards. Currently I...

So, I'm practicing thumb tip magic at the moment. I'm currently using a very cheap plastic tip, but my uses with it are very limited because it doesn't stay on my nail....so I want to buy a better thumb tip from PenguinMagic. I consider my thumb size to be relatively average. My knuckle, when...

Hi, I wanted to purchase a brick of Red Bee playing cards. However, seeing that I can get 1 token for every item purchased, under what conditions can I win 12 tokens (one for every deck)? Thanks in advance.

Hello T11, I posted a similar thread on a different subforum but got literally no feedback, so I'll just try general discussion... I want a borderless, flexible, soft, red backed card that is air cushioned, preferably linen finish. I'm coping with Bees, but I dislike having to break in the...

I'd like to know if there exists a playing card with a air cushion/linen finish AND a soft stock. I used to use the discontinued Stud decks but I just ran out...

For quite some time now I have considered buying a smoke producing device. At the time, Pure Smoke and Magic Smoke v2 were the top dogs in that category. Now, VAPR has introduced itself. What edge does VAPR have over Pure Smoke and Magic Smoke? (I know that it is wireless but that alone won't...

After playing with around with my sleights and browsing theory 11, I found Hofzinser Cards. The cards have very nice reviews about how deceptive they are, but before I buy them I want to know firsthand from someone in this forum how well they really work. Thanks.

After a while of practicing patter, I decided to work on my ACR. I found the Tivo 2.0 and decided to work it into the routine, and would like some feedback on my short performance video. Thanks! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KYbOijwy7xQ

Hello, T11, it has been a while since I have posted my own thread. I have spent quite a while reading up Leil Lowndry and Joseph Campbell (as suggested by Steerpike) to help better myself when performing in front of people. However, I still have fear of failure...and because of that I still...

A couple weeks back I first posted a thread asking for help on my Classic Pass. It helped me a lot, so I decided to ask for help on another move: the bottom deal. I have two sources of the bottom deal: Expert at the Card Table by S.W Erdnase, and Jason England. They both mention to buckle the...

After over a year of practicing, I think I finally perfected fundamentals down to the point where I can perform tricks. I already perform the basics like ACR, Biddle's Trick, Out of this World, Triumph, TnR, 4 card change, etc. However, I am sure that you guys can help me with ideas. These...

Hi, I am a novice magician with a bit over a year's worth of experience. Up till now, I was able to figure out many knacky moves and tricks alone (with a DVD/book). However, there is one move, the Classic Pass, that I have practiced for many months now but it still looks shoddy. I always...
