I'm finding it really hard to keep the lower left corner from slipping off of the heal of my thumb. This is for the Erdnase grip but in general I really have to hike the lower left corner of the deck to the upper heal of my thumb so that they don't slip out. I end up with a very awkward looking...

Hmm I suppose I should have phrased my question more carefully. I see where the mods are coming from though. I should have asked perhaps for some gambling materials where a deck is shuffled by a spectator and the magician is still able to produce the aces in a similar fashion instead of out...

And my main point is that it's important to give constructive criticism instead of just saying something in a negative way. We never know how that can affect someone. All your points are valid just sandwich them in between some positive thoughts for the man is all I'm saying.

No need to discourage the man's confidence! Amo I'm sure you're making progress now just keep practicing until you have a second deal that is performance ready which may be a while. I'm starting to work on mine as well and know that climbing this mountain will be tough but worth it. So don't let...

I just purchased Riffle Stacking by Jason England. Awesome material in case anyone is interested in it. He goes into great detail with multiple exercises in how to stack your cards. Does anyone know if there is a specific technique for staking or how to go about it when the deck is shuffled for...

Is anyone familiar with Jamie Schoolcraft's 3CM, 3CF, Deans set, and other gaffs? I'm waiting to hear back from him but I think these or a combination of them can accomplish what I want to do. Anyone have experience with them?

Yes this is true of course, but it's not what my thread it about.

Old thread I know but thought I'd add in here. I actually think gaffs are great depending on if you use the right ones within a given deck that suits you. I have a few bicycle gaff decks form ellusionist and there are just some cards in them that I think are ridiculous so I would never use them...

Hey guys so I am planning on investing in some coin gaffs, but I am a bit confused as to what I need. Basically I want to to a three coin routine where I produce one coin, then another, I want to show both sides of these coins to the audience and then produce the third coin. And then do the...

Hey guys, I just tried tivo 2.0 for the first time at my college and even though I'm a bit nervous performing a new trick, I still got great reactions from people. I've been practicing it for a month now I think and I finally got to where I can do the sleight instantly; my only problem now at...

Luker Jermay You have to find a site that sells Luke's stuff like penguinmagic or something. It's a very simple yet very effective trick. Once you know it, if you watch Derren's in his stage show Something Wicked This Way Comes, you'll see what I'm talking about. As far as finding pulses...

Just wanted to say hello to you all in the community. I just registered and am excited to be a part of this community. Real quick, I'm an amatuer card magician, but I really enjoy performing street magic when I can. I think it's a great art and am glad most of the public know nothing about it...

Everyone knows who Derren Brown is right? I'm curious as to what people's thoughts are of him. I personally think he's an awesome performer and gives magic a good name. I watched his television special where he claimed to stop his pulse by certain means he told the audience, but I have the...

Invisible deck I know it's a gaffed deck and requires no sleight of hand, but it just gets such a great reaction. I would also recommend Derren Brown's personal card trick creations. Most of his card magic is stellar though he is totally a mentalist now. Also, Tivo 2.0 on the bucks' new DVD...
