My question: They say your hands are quicker then our eyes. How many MPH do your hands move?

at what age did you meet card mechanics?

When doing a gambling demonstration, do you typically reveal the method?

Hello Mr. England, do you prefer card table/gambling sleight of hand, or street type magic?

My question to Jason England is what is the hardest sleight of hand you ever learned and perfected ?

What is your favourite magic book, in terms of content and to read?

My question for Jason England: How was your experience at school and how did you pack in all the practice whilst going through exams and tests?

So, Jason I've been playing with a sleight/false deal for about three months now. The whole basis of the sleight is false dealing from the top of the deck. Goes like this- there is /are card/cards upside down on the bottom, and right before you want to deal that card, you do a bottom deal and grab the top and bottom cards, but when pulling your hand away, you flip the bottom card onto the top. I haven't been able to get it good or fast enough in order for it be useable, and I'm wondering whether this is a waste of time or not. I also don't know whether someone has already published this or something similar. Thoughts, suggestions, sarcastic comments?

When did you star doing magic and how many hours a day do you train. What are you tipps how i could get a move faster down and learn it better

My question for John England: If you could forget a book in order to experience it again now as it were the first time you read it, which one would it be?

Jason England : What is the oldest cardsleight book that u have :) ?

Hello Jason England, since you already own all the books to fill up a library and know all the slights there are to cheat your way through any round of poker I would like to ask you this simple question what exactly is it that makes people so fascinated by the world of magic.

Jason England: I was wondering something. There is so many versions of different classic magic plots e.g. Collectors, Twisting The Aces, etc... one of my favourite tricks to perform is The Triumph, and I love the simple and original versions of it, but I perform Triumph v136 by Syd Segal and I love it because it's simple yet very effective! In your opinion, what is the most efficient Triumph to perform? a classic triumph, a Zarrow triumph, etc... What do you think is the one that gets the best reactions?

Jason, I would assume that magic/card technique is a full-time job for you now, but what did you do before it was and how did you go about transitioning into a form of income that came solely from this practice?

Jason, you are considered a beacon of knowledge in the world of card magic. People like Max Maven and Jon Racherbaumer have similar distinctions. Who do you look to for magic knowledge?

Hey Jason, I've come up with a single card shift that is amazing, it takes a card from anywhere in the deck, and moves it to anywhere (top, bottom, middle, palm). It's so good I'm sure I'm not the first to come up with it do you know of any really good single card shifts or some that I might look into so as to seek out the origin of my move?

I'm glad that Expose is highlighting newly released magic and moved on the Wire again

Jason, if this is a trick/move that will be released by T11, and has been around for years and hidden for only those lucky enough to know about it. Why is it that you and them are able to profit off of it? Wouldn't it have to be a collaboration from all those who know it?

Mr England: Do you think that moves which requires lots of misdirection (eg Top Change) are outdated nowadays, or why do you think magicians are no longer using them in their current repertoire?

What would you say is the biggest thing separating a gambling/card cheating sleight from a magic sleight?
