Simple question, I just want to know of anyone knows how to get into a back thumb palm while the hand is hanging seemingly idle on one side. The scenario is that I have false transferred a coin to my left hand. Meaning, the coin is still in my right hand. Then I am going to say something...

How many here perform Spellbound by Dai Vernon? Because I had this question:- I love to perform this move, when I am practising. Because it feels too bold. And I think that is why it is so great. And the once or twice I have performed it, I have to say I got great reactions. But still, I can't...

Well, here's the present scenario. I now want to get down to some knuckle busting moves which I was afraid or just did not want to do before. Like flourishes, some of the MORE complicated card tosses, visual colour changes. Actually, visual magic in general. Now the problem arises that I am...

Something I have been thinking about for a long time... How do you measure an artist? Just by his/her expertise in the art or the kind of person he/she is in general matters too? The answer is not as simple as it appears. Atleast, not for me. The hype Jibrizy caused for example...am sure he is a...

Well, I haven't learnt the Cardini colour change yet, but I would love to do so if itnis really great and lends itself to a practical close-up magic situation. Mark the previous 5 words. Because I don't really wanna learn something to amaze a camera. So my question is, is the cardini change as...

Figured out the count I needed. :-) The card I wanna hide is the third one. And the hamman count achieves it more tan perfectly. My only problem is that when, after counting off the first card I do the 'thing'...It can be seen that the first card is actually being transferred back. The only...

There are some exercises which claim to improve your sleights and cardistry. They look legitimate, but heck, all exercises always look legitimate. But are they of any use? I would not want to waste my time on them, but if they CAN improve my sleights, I am all for them. So, what are your...

A really descriptive title that was! Anyways... Am sure you guys have the Modern Coin Magic by J.B. Bobo. There's a trick in coins across section called the 'Inseparable pair'. Now, I really love that principle and I love performing it as well. But crossing the hands just seem pointless! But...

So, I can palm a single coin amazingly, as I am sure almost every magician can do. The problem arises when I need to palm multiple coins. Is getting used to palm 2 or 3 coins the only way? Like having them palmed throughout the day? Or is there a better way to practice. Also, when I palm...

Is there any way to simulate the effect of the trick in On/Off by Nicholas Lawrence where he pulls off his pinky from his hand very visually...WITHOUT A RING? Would appreciate. And even if that is not possible, I was wondering if you guys knew some cool tricks I won't need a deck or coins to...

Here is the background... I don't know (well) EITHER of these moves (mostly because I never needed them?) But if one could perform both decently well, which would be better? Something else that has been bothering me since I wanted to learn the bluff pass, is it really helpful when I want to...

First I' d like to clear up one point... OK is probably not the real name of the effect and please correct me. So...it looks frankly GREAT on camera. Must be fine with a single audience member too... I was thinking more on the lines of 2-4 spectators. So how do I do it? Provided I can actually...

So...we all are familiar with this. Some "business-magicians" say "Buy this! Next Level stuff here!" or beginners say "I want to perform that next level stuff" or some seasoned and excited performer says "Whoa! Am so excited! I feel like I am preforming the next level stuff!" All fine. But there...

Which is better when practising? I mean, the mirror is what most people use and it also helps that with the mirror you can constantly view yourself. But personally speaking, recording yourself helps you to make a LOAD of notes and if you practice this way, fast progress is assured (kinda?)...

So... I was thinking of learning the bluff pass. What do you guys feel about this sleight? I know it looks bold but works completely, but wanted to know if you guys do it. So...is it worth it? What do you guys think?

I know that this will be a very broad question and quite difficult to amswer if you don't do this move, but can you guys please take an extra step to help me out and check out Chris Ramsay's airbender move on his channel you tube? Any tips on that? Having trouble in 2 things... 1) Catching the...

My goal is to hide the third card. It would be great if no resets were required...like in an emsley count with 4 cards we always need to put the 'card-to-be-hidden' back in the 3rd position for performing the count consecutively? Preferably, a count without any such resets required. Honestly...

Well, there seems to be a good general rule, do not try to learn too many things at once. Too many flourishes, too many sleights. But that pass is a life-long endeavor for perfection, right? So I guess I can learn other things? I can do the pass okay, I mean got used to the motion and developed...

Okay, so here goes:- I know it sounds stupid, but how long does it take to have a pass satisfactory enough to use in a performance? I know a pass is an ever improving technique, and we all should forever strive for the better, but still, how long should I logically take before I build enough...

Am afraid my pinky break, which everywhere I saw and everybody I listened to said is okay to be pretty large at the beginning, is too large. The break is visible from the left side. Am I being too ambitious in focussing on these things now? Should I just focus on getting the actual motion smooth...
