    I created a couple tricks…

    I'll certainly have a look. I and perhaps some other posters are native Spanish speakers (in my case semi-native).

    Invisible Deck - Do you put the card back in Reversed in front of Audience?

    Al e Cat Dabra wrote: "simply cut all the cards to the right of the selection to the bottom. When I take back the card, I just casually place it face down on the bottom and I am reset to go." That's excellent! I've only done this trick at home with my family as an audience a couple of...

    Recommend me a Dani DaOrtiz download.

    I don't know, but his "I am very lucky" video (labeled Treasure Production, Chaos Project, Chapter 1) at https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&q=dani+da+ortiz+lucky#fpstate=ive&vld=cid:4a9934ba,vid:MUg334OKsF4 is great, so I'm planning on getting the lecture $9.95 at Penguin soon...

    Box change to end color changing deck routine

    Scott, which issue was that? Hermit apparently has many different issue nos. for each volume at C$10 each; I didn't see a way to buy the whole volume 1 on their website.

    What do do with five identical decks

    Thanks! You are always so helpful! I am definitely buying the Jinx back issues now. It gets mentioned so often that it seems to be a must-have. Thanks, one of your comments has inspired me to make one knockout of a deck. I will definitely enjoy that, as labor intensive as it will be. In...

    Dealing with "inquisitive" spectator

    "One spectator says "Wait. Lemme see *your* side." What do you do?" In your best Mae West or Groucho Marx imitation, say "You show me yours and I'll show you mine", raise your eyebrows a few times with a suggestive smile and keep moving, ignoring their request.

    What do do with five identical decks

    I put in an order for five one-way decks (random value, no choice) but asked that they not duplicate any. Unfortunately the request was not only ignored, but acted upon in reverse, so five decks of 3S are on the way, LOL. The seller is kindly rectifying it by sending replacements, but without...

    Suggestions for good, low-priced deck with unusual card faces (both numbers, pips and face cards) to split and put Bicycle Neon bluish-green backs on?

    Hi, I really like the Bicycle Neon cardistry cards in bluish-green, but I want to put faces on them. A deck of 52 will make 104 cards if split and none are spoiled in the process. I enjoy splitting and rejoining cards. I'll at least make packet tricks with them. The question is, what unusual...

    What tuck boxes and cards are black around the base of the face and sides?

    Thanks, David! Nope, not a trace of Zen Pure so far here or on Penguin. I looked up Expert Playing Card Company and found only a New-York-based website, expertplayingcard.com. Much obliged, though!

    Internal system for a flap card

    I like the idea! You could certainly use flap card technology to move the parts, and you can use inflexible material (including string) to limit the range of motion so that the sides, top and bottom stop when they reach their natural perpendicular positions, but my questions are, what are your...

    What tuck boxes and cards are black around the base of the face and sides?

    Edit: Found a few good ones, Black Widow, Empire Keeper, Bicycle Ghost, etc, although any other suggestions are still welcome.

    What tuck boxes and cards are black around the base of the face and sides?

    I got a fun little dime-store magic item, with which you might be familiar, a black plastic case with an open window and one open end. I describe only the performance here, no reveal of the gimmick. You can have a deck of red Bicycle 808 cards in it, open the tuck box end, pull out a card or two...

    Saturday Night Contest - The Next theory11 Deck

    Funny. I missed the whole contest but when I saw it today immediately came up with the name "Theory11-1/2" (eleven and a half). Great minds think alike, LOL.

    Internal system for a flap card

    A black ace or deuce to a red face card is good; lots of contrast there. AD to KS would look great.

    How do you make Magic Tricks?

    The recommendations to learn a lot more first are very reasonable, as you’ll build up skills, tools, ideas, and run into situations where you’re not satisfied with the way they’re doing something, so you start working on how to modify it. But I wouldn’t discourage someone (who’s eager to be...

    double facers

    I realize you want to buy ready-made ones, but in case you can't find any, I recommend you try what for me, at least, is very easy DIY. Just split the cards you want and rejoin them. Blake Vogt's splitting videos 1&2 here are inexpensive, and very well done. He's a very patient teacher with good...

    Internal system for a flap card

    I've not handled a "bite-out" item yet (Oreo, coin or card) so I can't speak to the system. I'd appreciate a PM with an explanation of it. What I can say is that the two main systems I know of are Hondo Chen's and Blake Vogt's for flap aka acro cards. I don't know whether one of them might be...

    52 to 1 deck by Fox and Penn

    Yeah, thanks, yours included (I'm a subscriber and frequent viewer). Most don't reveal much; some hint in the direction of forcing or fishing, (of course, you couldn’t cut to the right card without *anything*)…but it’s irritating that all the reviews, at least those I’ve been able to find, avoid...

    52 to 1 deck by Fox and Penn

    The ad copy says "You spread the deck clearly, showing that every card is completely different. A spectator thinks of a card. They never tell you their card and yet they cut the deck themselves, right at their chosen card! After showing that the cards are clearly all different, two spectators...

    Pick # between 10 and 49 or 52, deal that # of cards; add its digits, remove that # of cards. Magician tries to I.D. this randomly chosen card.

    Awesome, many thanks! I'd hate to just credit it to 'some YouTuber' in my notes, and it's nice to get a sense of the history involved as we learn various tricks and methods. Now all I have left to do is learn how to make an orange tree suddenly grow, blossom and produce fruit, with the four...
