    So i'm pretty new to sleight of hand magic. I've been working on the straddle pass and i'm struggling. I have the move done and understand that the angles need to be correct etc. But, my question for all of you is, what can I do to mask/eliminate the noise? I'm not ruling out the possibility...

    Back Palming seemingly hundreds of cards.

    How is this done? I'm not asking for a reveal, I want to perform it for a thing I'm doing. I've seen magicians who are seemingly able to pull hundreds of cards from a backpalm. I know there are manipulation decks which are much thinner than normal cards and often have flesh colored backs, but...

    Hey everyone, I'm new to the community (and also pretty new to magic) but I have a question for you all! As a graphic designer who just recently got into magic, I think it would be really cool to develop my own deck of playing cards. While I would mostly just be doing this for fun, I do want...

    David Blaine Promotional Deck?

    I've been told that there exist a deck of cards that was used to promote Blaine's first TV special "Fearless". They supposedly are impossible to find because ABC had them made but Blaine thought they looked like crap and had all he could get destroyed. The backs of the cards look just like how...

    Incomplete Deck Ideas

    Some tricks I create or perform require me to destroy or make cards unusable. I am always left with partial decks that have no use to me. I hate to waste good cards but have no idea what to use them for. Any ideas?
