    Catching cards...A PROBLEM THAT I CAN'T JUST SOLVE...ugh

    So, it is one of the flashiest things to toss a card into the air and then catching it. Some go the extra way and can catch it with their mouth...behind the back etc. But here I am, who knows like a dozen ways to toss the card and I have practised them A LOT but I just cannot CATCH THE CARDS...

    Okay...so the thing is I was really intigued by the King of Hearts in the deck which has a knife thru its head. Theories range from it is actually behind its head to the fact it was a suicide to the murderer is actually queen of spades OR jack of hearts. They even say that he stabbed himself...

    Judo flip by Franco Pascali

    Everything is fine and have been practising it for a while. HOWEVER... The part which he describes as the 'weird grip' , the one where we catch the remainder of the deck between ring and little finger after cutting a small packet off, in that part, the deck keeps falling of. It just slides out...

    Hindu force origins...

    Okay...so I saw that in the Royal, they describe a different Hindu force than what's usually used. So just wondering... If the most basic and kinda one of the best books on card magic not even mention the popularly used Hindu force, definitely it is not the invention of some great cardist? That...

    What is in a name?

    Well, when people say I do magic tricks...it has a weird ring to it. Even though I know that 'magic tricks' have come out a LONG way from the rabbit-stuff, I guess it is just the social image that pops in my mind when I hear 'magic tricks' of a typical magician pulling an endless stream of silk...

    Sorry abt the title...just a random thought. 3 questions... Am sure you guys must have seen the effect where a chosen card is put in the middle of the deck out jogged and then VISUALLY jumps up a few cards, and then a few, and then to the top. What is the name of the effect? Also... Royal road...

    I MAKE MYSELF FEEL SO old...

    Well, the title is kinda strange, I know. Here's the question, with respect to very simple flourishes like spreads and Springs, and even fans, which are the ones I can with enough practice do with old decks also? I know that with enough practice you can do anything but well for a I know that...

    Friendly Laymen tell I must have copied (in a way, indirectly)!!!

    I'll get straight to the point then. I performed a book test and people loved it but there was this ONE person who said "You have seen it from Britain's Got Talent, right?" Now this comment was not meant to be harsh, just like most laymen comment, to show maybe that they care about the trick...

    Magician in Cardistry

    Surely am not the first magician in cardistry who mainly wants to get some simple (even moderate) flourishes that are flashy and catch someone's eye. I know most of the cuts and a cut called the faux-cut by Chris Ramsay one or two more such SMALL flourishy looking things. I mainly need some...

    Overasked question by beginners I guess

    How do I clean plastic cards? It says that they are 100% washable on the packet. I have heard some use talcum powder to make them fan or spread better ( that's kinda the main reason I wanna clean my deck. Also I have heard talcum powder is really BAD for your cards) and even some people putting...

    BETRAYED!!! AND sorry for the rant, but the prob needs to be explained...

    And before anyone asks, yup, it's THE same event...too many problems for a single event,right? Lol, just my luck.:confused::confused::confused: Am performing in India ('cuz I was asked that before) and as an Indian, I have a pretty good idea what is the general image of magic is here. For...

    Quick question...The dressing problem

    Okay, now I don't think there are many people here who do the 'Suit-pant magician hat' magic ( if there are, sorry to offend you, lol) but here's the problem. I am going to perform very soon and here people are not in the magic culture, they rarely see good magic after one or two card tricks...
