Card control is considered fundamental knowledge among magicians. The cardman's ability to move a chosen selection to any part of the pack he or she would like, is crucial when performing effects that utilize playing cards.
Many of those just starting out in sleight-of-hand aren't sure where they should begin. How does one go about getting a chosen card to the top - or even the bottom - of the deck? In this week's edition of our 1-ON-1 SESSIONS, we will be exploring card control a little further - with some recommendations hand selected by our team of staff and artists:
: : BS CONTROL / / EASY / / $4.95
Four cards are shown, then visibly placed into random parts of the deck. With just a cut, the cards are visibly brought back to the top - together. No duplicates are used. This is a utility move that you will learn, love, and use. An extremely versatile card control now released direct from Lee Asher's personal bag o' moves.
: : OUTJOGGED HERMANN SHIFT / / INTERMEDIATE / / $6.95
Quite possibly the most covert card control in card magic. The Outjogged Hermann Shift allows one to seemingly place a card in the center of the deck while still having complete control over the selection. Magician Aaron Fisher explains the shift in complete detail, covering every facet of the move. It's all here.
: : FAN CONTROL / / EASY / / $4.95
Joel Paschall teaches a simple, effective, and powerful control that happens under the fairest possible conditions. You hand the deck of cards to a volunteer and ask them to remove any card they wish. You fan the deck, and they replace their card anywhere they want. You hand the deck to them and allow them to shuffle the cards.
Under these challenging conditions, you are instantly able to find their freely selected card and control it to wherever you need it. No gimmicks, no palming, no set-up, and yes - this can be done with a borrowed deck.
SPECIAL PROMO : For those wishing to purchase all of the above, we've setup a special promotion. Order all three videos and receive a 20% discount for this week ONLY.
Be sure to check out last week's 1-ON-1 SESSIONS - Pasteboard Mentalism - and check back next Tuesday for another edition. See you then!
