Hi All,
After making my first post on the forum in the Tabled Faro post I thought I would introduce myself properly.
I'm a student in the UK and I have only been interested in magic (my focus is on card magic) for the past 6 months or so, but haven't been practicing seriously until now. I quite easily consider myself a beginner but am eager to advantage my skill level (in terms of performer ability, and sleight ability).
I know a limited a few of which I have learnt from Theory 11, on the whole I have limited myself to "easy" tricks because that’s all I feel comfortable with.
I have also purchased all of Jason England's videos and am attempting to become proficient at the sleights he teaches. I am focusing on the Bottom Deal, Palming, Gamblers Cop, Strike Second, False Shuffle and DPS at the moment.
I was wondering if anyone could recommend some resources which might help me. The resources I currently have (book wise) are: The Expert At The Card Table, Expert Card Technique and At The Card Table by Darwin Ortiz (I am aware that the difficultly of these tricks is a little beyond me at the moment). I haven’t read any of these in their entirety from start to finish – something which I am currently working on.
If anyone has any advice on resources or anything I might find useful, please let me know.
P.S: Apologies for the long-winded and slightly detailed introduction.
