    Card Control.

    Oh, I see. In that situation, I would have just said yes, and then false cut the deck or something. Sometimes, people just aren't paying close attention to what you're doing, and they miss things that actually make them seem more observant than they really are. I wouldn't second guess yourself...

    Card Control.

    I think that it's important to analyse why you were called out on your bluff pass, and what you need to do to correct that, rather than to just ditch the sleight. It's good to have an entire arsenal of controls, but you should also try to figure out if it was a presentational issue or a handling...

    Object appearing in the egg help

    Researching in Edwin Sach's book "Sleight of Hand" and I found something on page 334 (of the Dover edition) that you might want to look up and/or show your friend: "To Pass a Borrowed Ring Inside an Egg".

    Card production

    Sure, I can do a bit of quick research from Denis Behr's website on sandwich effects. Hope this helps: - The idea, now standard, of loading a hidden card between two others, by peeling off the top card and taking it below the other two, seems first to have been described by Edward Marlo in...

    On a Definition of Magic

    Magic is the relationship between a performer who invents an illusion with a logical solution that isn't obvious for an audience who willingly, temporarily abandons rational thought to experience a moment where it feels like there is added mystery to their lives and deeper layers of meaning to...

    Lean Travellers (trick)

    Hey David, great to see you still around! No coins or cats in this one... I understand the desire to remove the counts as it disrupts the start of the routine. I'm thinking about only doing the count of three cards, and omitting the 4-count at the start. It might give me the convincer that I'm...

    Snap deal angles

    While there are "best case scenarios" and ways to get by in less than best-case performances, there is also something to be said for NOT using a sleight that isn't optimal for your audience.

    Awesome. I hope to see you do some knuckle-busting stuff some time!

    Best intermediate to advanced card magic book that is no more than 25 dollars?

    Curious: why would you want sleights to be difficult?

    It sounds like you will want to research the term "card index" :)

    Lean Travellers (trick)

    Hey, I'm Scott. As a re-introduction to these forums (It's been a LONG time), here's a take on a Larry Jennings classic (Open Travellers), with a cleaned-up handling and some reveals that "stuck" on the stainless steel countertop. Please enjoy! Scott Baird.

    Hey, What you're describing sounds like a fairly common move used in a lot of sandwich routines. Scott.

    Signed coin to pocket - has it been done?

    Why the hell would you WANT to do a signed coin to pocket/wallet?

    Ambitious Coin Routine?

    It's called Rising Dough. Very clean looking effect, too, and ends in the spectator's hand.

    Card Under Glass/Drink

    The best place to learn this is from JC Wagner, and his thinking on it is spot-on. He fooled a room of over a hundred magicians with that trick, TWICE, during his lecture here a few years ago. He goes in depth on it in his International Magic Lecture DVD. Scott.

    Nowhere Palm

    Peter, People's hands look constipated in this grip when they TRY to hold their fingers apart. Honestly, you don't need a space between every finger to make this grip effective. That's your inner magician telling you that it'll convince people you're not finger-palming. :P Just have a...
