Hi Jason,
I'm a big fan! My question is regarding advanced research into Gambling routines and techniques. Is there any non-mainstream books or alternative sources you can recommend? Thanks for your time! I'm looking forward to watching the segment!

Hello Jason,
It seems that card magic in the form that we know today is a bit over 125 -150 years old I believe. In the introduction of Expert Card Technique Hugard and Braue state that 100 years earlier there only existed half a dozen basic sleights The 20th century saw the biggest explosion in card magic development ever in history. I believe that many factors contributed to this including advancements in the technology of printing playing cards.
What was sleight of hand card magic like in its earliest stages, and where do you see sleight of hand card magic headed in the 21st century?
I'm particularly interested in the development of new and original ideas in card magic never seen before in the 20th century. I wonder if there are new and original plots that belong to the 21st century.
Thank you for taking the time to do these segments, I'm thrilled to hear any responses you pick.
Hi Mr.England..
One of my favorite effects in magic is triumph, I love the plot. I know you also like triumphs. My queshtion is do you only perform Dai Vernon's triumph, or you have tried "gimmicked" ways to do achieve the effect (Stripper deck, Cheeck to Cheek ect...)
Hi Jason and Andrei,
Have you ever been dissapointed when you opened a new magic trick. I bought an effect some time ago, and I didn't find the explanation very good. Do you guys think marketing is a problem, and do you have any advices when buying a trick?
Sincerely Frederik.
to jason: what was your awakening where you wanted to be more than just a guy that does two or three tricks, cause we all know every great magician has to go thru out that face
HELLO Mr.England,
I love magic since my childhood but i started learning Sleight Of Hand magic(coin and card) a month ago (right now i am 17yrs old). People around me(especially my parents) think magic is stupid and magic divert my mind from school & studies and i am never going to get anywhere in life with magic.And magic isn't that popular where i live. It took me 11 yrs to find right resources to start learning.So can you please give some guidance for beginners ? Things like where should we start , what should we learn first, a time table for practice, how long will it take to master the basic sleights?And one more question is it ever late to start learning magic? Please answer this question , this might inspire many people like me...... . My mother always say "you will not get anywhere in life with magic, its a waste of time". I might not get anywhere in life with magic but i am sure i will be happy with my life and its not a waste of time its my dream.I have many reason to do magic people just don't see it or understand it.
Jason,
If you were sitting at a poker table with Erdnase, Richard Turner, and Daniel Madison, what would happen? Would there be a winner, or would it almost look like a fair game?
