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.

Hello. So I'm coming up on a year in magic, I've learnt a few tricks and performed them when at parties, but there's one thing that I feel is either letting me down or making my performances look a bit messy. My card handling. I seem to grip the cards so hard that they end up looking messy and...

Just like the title says, what are the best cards for the larger and more flashy looking cuts? I've been into magic for a good year now and I've been using bikes, but now I want to add more flash to my routines, a bit of jazz. What cards would be good for the flourishes in the trilogy as an...

Hello, I have recently found that I have been discouraged and unwilling to practice magic. I'm pretty sure this is because I feel like I am getting nowhere with my practice. I normally just sit down and practice the sleight and routine in 30 minute sections, Practice then rest or homework ( I'm...
