Magic happens in the mind... not the eyes.

I'm still thinking that something is not quite as it seems... especially since the description says "this method emulates a incredible Acaan." I'd be interested in an unbiased review.

Put it this way, if I was the spectator, would you think it was amazing?

Actually, I was talking about the 52 on 1 CARD:

Fake.

I don't think they need to be in the middle. Check out the Benzais Spin Out. I would need some more detail about how the production would happen to really give you advice.

52-on-1 Card ;) Invisible Deck Beyond that there are multiple methods that can be used in various combinations include equivoque, indexes, memorized decks, multiple outs and trained monkeys hiding beneath tables. You may also want to explore the any card at any number (ACAAN) plot. There are...

Some context would help figure out what would work best. I suspect the answer is not a switch but something else. The easiest switch would look like this from the audience's perspective. You take three envelopes out of a stack of envelopes of envelopes bound by a rubber band. People put...

Michael Ammar's book and videos (although dated) are the best sources for learning. I love Marc DeSouza's routine in his Masterworks of Conjuring, Volume 1. Good routines to watch include Ricky Jay's routine and Jason Latimer's routine.

Read it cover to cover and work through the sleights and effects. With that said, I think that Card College is a better resource (although more expensive) to learn from. The problem with YouTube is that a lot of the teaching is bad. I often can tell people who have learned from YouTube...

I think the plot of picking a card and then losing it/finding it or naming the card are hackneyed. If you add other elements (e.g. a Triumph type routine or having the card appear in an impossible location) then that has the possibility to become a good effect. I also think that if all you...

One of the best resources is the book, Hidden in Plain Sight by Charles Kirk.

On great way to learn basic card tricks is to get the book, Scarne on Card Tricks. It has 155 different card tricks that don't require any signifiant sleight of hand.

I did. That was one instance where the method was better than the effect. I loved it.

Although video provides an opportunity to do things beyond what you can do in person (using out of frame movement for ditches and loads), the easiest thing is to look at your current effects and decide what works over video. If you are sitting, things that I think would work well are: Packet...

How about doing 20th Century Silks / Baffling Bra but instead having a face mask appear between the silks?

If you haven't shown or counted the cards, how do the already know there is just four cards? A lot of what I mean by context is method. In a Twisting the Aces routine that uses counts to shift which card is reversed, it is necessary to use those counts as part of the method. In an Open...

I'd argue that it was never appropriate (despite having bought one years ago on clearance)...
