magic advice

hey everyone, I am trying to crate a stage trick with cards and need some advice for a segment of the trick. I want to have a spectator put the card in THEIR pocket and have it vanish into mine. is this even possible, to make a card disappear from someone else's pocket.

I’m making a comedy video about how laypeople think when they hear magic terms. Unfortunately I can only come up with two; practicing magic and mind reading/mentalism. I need one or two more magic terms that have a double meaning. Any thoughts?

I have a performance coming up and I need a trick that is under 90 seconds that packs a huge punch so I was wondering if you guys had any recommendations for what tricks are under 90 seconds, plays big, and preferably visual. My price point is under 100 so don't go to big. Thanks

Well .. I am the worst kids magician on the planet but I have a special gig at the charity for special kids and yet I have no idea about what stuff should I go with. Your suggestions are welcome for kids magic !!

Hey Guys ! I just wondering about how to find, or creat a good nickname. Like Houdini , or so. For me my name in my language is still pretty hard to pronounce, so I often use nicknames in my private life. But as a magician I don't have one, officially uses my real name of course. But wonder how...

I have a little cousin in France who recently got into magic but he lives about 4-6 hours away from the nearest magic store (in Paris) so his resources are limited. He doesn’t know any English, and I’ve got a lot of good books he can use but they’re in English. Any way I can find some of these...

My little cousin in France started learning some magic and wants to learn more, but his parents don’t know anyone or anywhere to go to get him more advanced materials. I’m teaching him what I can while I’m here, but if anyone knows a magician who can guide him more or knows a store near La...

Hey guys I need some advice, I've been doing magic for around 4 years and I'm going to try and make it a permanent job in the future. I recently got into a relationship with a girl and she doesn't know that I do magic and want to tell her but I don't think the time is right, instead I had a...

I've always wanted to create a YouTube channel revolving around magic, however not magic tricks tutorials. I was thinking "magician profiles" I'd do a video essay segment about certain magicians (houdini, shin lim, Dai Vernon, Paul Daniels, Tom Mullica) with things like what was their...

I'm a productivity nerd who likes systems, and I'm trying to develop a structured approach to learning magic at an accelerated pace. I know reading this I sound like another impatient kid but hear me out. After reading through a number of threads in this forum there seem to be two competing...

I'm a beginner to culling, and my culling need massive improvement. The problem is that I don't know the mechanism of the move. Where can I learn this move? I've been hearing about the Roadrunner cull, but is that too advanced for me? Anyway it's way too pricey for me right now... So what are my...

Many magicians preach getting a break before double lifts instead of doing push-off doubles or strike doubles... At least, the ones I know. But some magicians may use one method, another might be taught in a magic book, and another might be judged as too inefficient or beginner level. What's the...

What are some good books to buy relating to card sleights and maybe flourishes (that's only a bonus) for someone between beginner and intermediate (can do imperfect faros, one handed cuts like Charlier, revolution and knuckle, beginner controls i.e. shuffle controls, push off double etc) that...

There are many channels out there on YouTube which teach magic, but obviously they won't teach everything they know for free. Some sleights are unclear on YouTube videos, and need to be more comprehensively explained and taught; some tricks can only be revealed by buying it from the creator etc...

Someone in my course is having a house party and everyone is invited, no one in the college knows im a magician and in my course i am a bit quiet so i was thinking about going and doing some magic, just wanted some tips on what you would do in this situation. Thanks

I got sort of "hired" for a walk around thing on the 19th at a wine club. Obviously everyone will be older than I am and possibly a bit drunk. I'll be there for like 2 ish hours. I was just wondering if anyone had any trick recommendations, tips, anything to help. Thank you!

Im quite experienced at magic, i would say im probably around an intermediate level of magic although I literally have no magic book and have never read any but Christmas is just around the corner, i was looking for some books that have tips for performing such as walk around and close up and...
