Thank you. Nice quick solution!

So I'm from the UK and i flew out to New York a few days back. Some of the decks that i brought out with me were in sealed, as in open, and now have a very bad case of deck click. I just brought a couple of decks and I'm wondering what the suggestions are for trying to avoid this again? Keep...

Thanks for all your comments! Some good places for be to start with that should keep my occupied for a while.

Hello. After taking a break from magic I decided to come back to a field of it that i haven't explored in much detail, table magic. I have a basic knowledge and handling on the basic running cuts and riffles shuffles but not much more so I was wondering, where is a good place to start learning...

Thanks for the replies! As for the skill level question, I have been doing magic for 3 years. My knowledge of sleights is mainly round the close up magic category. I'm not particularly proficient in any sleights that are done on the table yet I do understand how some techniques work,(however I...

Hello, After spending some time working on some in the hands close up magic I've decided to look into trick that take place on the table. I'm particularly interested in the classics such as triumph and cutting to cards from a shuffled pack, although I'm sure there are many more tricks that yield...

Hello, I used to practice card magic regularly a year or so ago but unfortunately stopped due to study and other circumstances, now I'm ready to dive back in in preparation for a little bit of table magic for bunch of friends at Christmas. My question to you experienced folks is how do you...

Yes i do have the download.

I wasn't clear ill give you that. I'm working on getting the grip so I'm only using 16 cards at the moment so I can experiment. This means I can put more cars on when I'm ready. By ' my fingers hang' I mean the just, well, hang under the deck at all times. Its the only comfortable or natural...

Thanks for the reply joey, I was hoping to get one from you as I have seen your bottom deal before. In response to the grip I have found one that fits a packet 16 cards nicely however my fingers hang. Do you have recommendations for the 3,4 fingers if I do the push out with my 2 finger? Also in...

Hello. Soon I am going to be on a plane for 12 housing I would like something to practice the trip. I was wondering if anyone has any pointers or tips on the Mechanics Bottom Deal. I'm mostly wondering how to push the top card over and how to keep the 2,3,4 fingers from sticking below the deck...

I'm with Joey. While i'm not good myself it isn't brilliant or as good as you are thinking it is. He didn't even use any false deals which in my option is true skill.

I also have a question on the mechanics grip bottom deal. Here is ghe grip that im working with. I was wondering how you practice the deal to get the best results. Also how do you you push out the top and bottom card? do you do it at and angle like the strike second deal or do you do it strait...

I was saying that it looks decent for a day of practice from what i was expecting. I thought i would be dropping cards and such but i was doing better then i thought, i never said ghat it was going to fool magicians and card men alike. Either way im glad to take on any tips that pop up in this post.

To be honest, even with a day of practice on this second deal it is look decent from my angle. I'm going to film it in a bit so i can see what it looks like from the front but with the bee deck it looks nice. Only issue is that i need to reset the grip every now and then.

Just looked at the video by Jason and i have to say, that's smooth! I see how the entire card is jogged out rather than just the top corner.

Hmm ok then. What is the difference between a push off and a strike then? I assume you push the second off in the push off? :P. I'll quickly check expert at the card table for the Erdanse methods yet i personally find the grips a bit, eye catching.

I posted a link to the deal in the previous post. However it looks like a push off second to me but is titled strike. Either way it seems pretty good and is done in a mechanics like grip. Here the link again.

Thanks for the replies. I was wondering, is the strike second deal on Dan and Daves website the same as in foundations? If it is then I will practice that now but if not i would rather wait as I want the grip to look the same in all the deals. I don't really what a mechanics second deal and then...

Hello, Recently I have really been in the mood for practicing as it is a good way to get rid of any stress. However, I was asked todo a little magic for some people at a local event and I was thinking, I don't have any table routines/effects. I do a lot of in the hands quick visual magic but...
