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...

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...

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...

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...

There is a certain easy “52 to 1” trick in which a spectator is asked to secretly pick a number from 10 to 49 (I changed it to up to 52), deal that number of cards silently down to the table while the magician’s back is turned, then pick up the resulting pile, add its digits and remove that...

Has anyone used this deck? It comes without instructions, seems difficult to insert selected cards into it in such a way that the gimmick will be 'loaded' and ready to do its thing with the inserted cards; I cannot even get the deck to close after inserting them. They insert only halfway. I have...

Hi, I'm in my 2nd month of magic as a hobbyist and having a real blast learning it with my sons. We've already bought some good books (Fulves, Scarne, Wilson, Hugard, and Card College Light, Lighter, Lightest) and are devouring them. I've also bought and am greatly benefiting from Blake Vogt's...

Hi, my 8-y.o., 11-y.o. and I (a complete newbie to magic) am working our way slowly through Scarne, Fulves and Wilson and will probably have a few questions as we go. I assume that it is not a disallowed reveal if one obliquely refers to parts of old, published tricks and cautiously asks a...

I ordered a cheap plastic wand for my son, but it arrived without instructions (the sales page was all in Chinese, I cannot locate it again, and I seem to recall it being a trick wand). But now I am not sure what the trick was. The wand is black plastic, hollow. On either end is a 2-cm. white...

I'm new here and hope I've posted in the right part of the forum where some revealing is allowed. I'm filling the stockings and bought some packet tricks in Taiwan. One is based on three identical cards, one of which has been modified to also show part of a fourth, different card. You display...

Best books on coins, cards and general magic in Spanish or English for a very bright young lad? I need some gifts for a lad (11-1/2) who is exceptionally bright, loves reading (reading level =age 17+ in English, 12 in Spanish, and 8 in Chinese), and who 1–2 years ago enjoyed a typical cheap...
