Hello everyone! I've been hired by a betting company to participate in a new commercial series they're launching this autumn. We're going to create a video series of gambling routines and tricks. The videos will be posted at their own webpage, their social media accounts as well as national and...

Hey, guys! I originally posted this on Reddit, but thought I could share it here, as well! Like many of you, I too have been searching for all those card tricks that can be done any time anywhere (and of course, like in the ads: with a borrowed deck). I've both asked and read on countless...

Upon watching the trailer I immediately thought of Inferno by Joshua Jay, though with a different presentation. I've performed Inferno for some time now, and while it is an excellent trick, this just looks more streamlined and straight to the point. Less props, less storytelling – compared to...

Hi, I'm going on a vacation to the west coast in July. This is my first trip to the US and I do feel obliged to check out some places related to magic. I'm going with three non-magician friends, and we're renting a car for the entire stay (16 days). The cities we've (so far) planned to visit...

Confusing title? Me too, but it was the best one I came up with. My head startet spinning after learning «Torched and Restored by Brent Braun». I loved the impromptu feeling of it, and I believe it is one of the greatest TnR effects out there. But even though it's great, I kind of felt it had...

Hi, I've got a special request: I'm looking for a force that can be done with a small packet of cards, 10-15 cards or less. Also, I would prefer if the forced card would remain face down when forced (like the classic force, but there are too few cards to do it with), until the revelation of...

This question goes out to those of you that performs/have performed the production of a goldfish: I've looked at this goldfish production gimmick, but the description says that you only can wait no more than 15 minutes with a live goldfish. Are there any other gimmicks/methods that can keep...

Hi! The effects and the possibilities with a PK ring has always baffled and astonished me, and I've decided that I'll get one in the near future. But I have a couple of questions, before purchasing it: 1) Is it safe to wear it while holding mobile phones or other electronical devices in your...

You've just done a very impressive trick that made the spectators jaws drop to the floor. The skeptical heckler in the background is impressed, but not that impressed, because he thinks he saw a fishy move during the trick. "Impressive, but I caught you!", he thinks for himself. But then, just...

There are many classics in card magic, and there have been made countless different versions over the years of everyone of them. Just to mention a few of them: Cards Across, Poker Demonstration, Underground Transposition (also known as "Reset"), Invisible Palms, Card Warp, Torn & Restored card...

I like the trick because it's a bit different than the standard coin tricks like coins across, coins through glass/table, three fly, three coin vanish etc. The trick is quick and visual and are really easy for the audience to understand. It is a perfect trick to do when asked to do a quick...

Culling cards. I've known it for many years and seen how powerful it can be and all that, but for some reason, never learned it. Until now. I got Iain Moran's DVD The Cullfather and the Roadrunner Cull DVD by Kostya. Two great resources, which should teach me everything I need to know about...

I've always kept them in the deck, but recently I've started to throw them away. I kept them in the deck because it would look much more fair when I had to go throu the deck to find the jokers. It looked like I didn't have any setup on the deck. But I felt it took too much time before I could...

...Paul Le Pauls card magic book? I've searched the net (not too good thou) but couldn't find it. Also, anyone got any good resources on how to learn the cardini change and the ego change? Both books and dvds.

I've been doing card magic for several years now, but haven't taken the time to learn the side steal. Until now. The thought of palming scared me a bit, as it does to many others, but now that I'm confident on doing regular palms as top and bottom palms, my next goal is to learn the side steal...

After looking at threads as "What are the best no setup street magic card tricks?" and " Top 5 Impromptu Card Tricks?" on the forums, I've put together a list of some of the tricks I would like to learn. But my problem is that many of them have no credits on who invented them or where to learn...

Is it possible to buy gaffed cards with other backs than Bicycle? I'm looking for double backed Tally Ho cards. I know it's possible to make them yourself. But I would rather buy them instead of using the time with card splitting, gluing them together etc.

I came across these tricks on vikingmagic.com and I'm wondering if someone here knows anything about them. http://www.vikingmagic.com/?nd=full&key=301 - Ultimate Card Sword (I also found this later here at Penguin) http://www.vikingmagic.com/?nd=full&key=185 - Crystal Card Case...
