    Where can I learn dice control?

    Every video I find about dice control covers dice controlling at craps, which is bound to throwing over a 20 feet long table, together with other thousands of rules, and as a result the techniques are far too farfetched. I just want to throw dice by myself at a surface and control the outcoming...

    Performing Passes VS Controls

    How often do you perform a pass? I mainly use controls to get the card in the position it needs to be. Occasionally, I'll do a pass, but only if I'm performing for a single spectator. And yes, I'm aware that this question's answer depends entirely on the situation. But when the situation allows...

    Controls as routines

    Ok i am not completely new to magic, Ive been doing it for about 2 years and practice constantly. What I like to do with my friends who I perform magic too daily is just do a control and then show them that I moved the card(s) without them noticing (thats on a good day). Things like the classic...

    Card Controls

    I’m tired of always using the same controls and forces, because I feel that eventually lay people will pick up on what I’m doing. Does anyone have any better controls, forces or anything? I mainly use the riddle force, overhand shuffle control and simple moves like that. I’m more than happy to...

    Where can I learn this control?

    I'm looking to find where I can learn a particular control which allows you to move and reverse (so it faces upwards) the card to the 2nd position, from a spread cull. I can provide links to it being done if necessary, but I have seen performers such as Franco Pascali, Tony Chang and others do...

    In the Stevens Control Could anyone let me know how I'm supposed to keep the rest of the cards from jogging, or rather are they supposed to jog too ? I've read Vernon's More Inner Secrets and The Classic Magic of Larry Jennings. After doing as instructed in those write ups every card below...

    Ideas to change up my ACR?

    Hiya! As weird as it is, I've never really done an ACR as I felt like it was too overused. That is until recently when I tested one out on someone using a few basic sleights I already knew. He freaked out and now I've started trying to expand the trick with more controls and whatnot. This is my...

    How to quickly uncrimp cards?

    So whenever I start using the decks a lot it naturally will create some crimps here and there, which is confusing whenever I want to use the crimp as a card control. So is there a quick way to uncrimp the cards so that after uncrimping the next crimp I do is the only one remaining? thx

    Oh Snap Card Control

    IDK, just felt like showing off a little. Been working on the snap deal as taught by Lennart Green for about a year, would love some advice for those who use it or know about it. Thanks in advanced!

    So many overhand shuffle techniques - The most deceptive?

    So I am getting a bit overwhelmed with all the different shuffle techniques and concepts and just want some opinions on which to use when and if there are just some shuffles that are better than others. So I am very comfortable with the Overhand in-jog shuffle, shuffle cards off, injog, shuffle...

    Original or Original Variation?

    Hello everyone, I have had a control in the works ever since January of 2014, but I just recently started refining it about a month ago. I hadn't seen it anywhere and still haven't to this day. However, a friend of mine brought it to my attention that an aspect of the control is similar to...
