    Where is the Old magic?

    I am sorry but I am completely lost... Are we talking about REAL magic here which we aren't sure exists or not? Or are we talking about shamans claiming to use real magic? This, is important.

    Where is the Old magic?

    In my opinion, these are all great t0pics to ponder on. Thank you for posting this. :) However, I think the question should just be "What is magic for?" instead of "Where is the old magic?", and the reason I'm beginning by saying this is because there have always been magic effects which are...

    Any Advice?

    I think @Elbrando83 touches on the production value end quite well. The lighting can be better, but then you did say it's a draft, so I'm assuming you'll brush up the production anyways. But there are two minor things I'd like to point out in the original post. First off, whether a trick is...

    How do I incorporate cardistry into my routine?

    Use them when they make sense. Don't use them when you don't want the spectator to remember you handled the deck. A Sybil cut during an effect would create a very, very clear memory that you definitely touched the deck and thus, you had control over the deck and the cards, which means that you...

    Good Tricks For School Environment?

    Book tests are great. They automatically fit in a school environment. There are plenty of book tests which are repeatable and also impromptu. In fact, any prediction effect wins (as pointed out earlier). Keep going through Karl Fulves' book (I assume you're referring to Self-Working Mental...

    No Stupid Questions

    Yes it's overused. Because it inherently has a ''bold and romantic'' character maybe? I don't think it's a coincidence that so many male magicians do it on females. But I wonder if non-magicians think it's overused... o_O Again, magicians love difficult moves for some reason. It doesn't harm...

    Secret Force?!?

    Look into Derren Brown's work. He has a lecture DVD where he teaches you how to psychologically force a particular card (seven of hearts, if I'm not mistaken), but I'm afraid I don't know the specific name of the DVD. Banachek's Psychological Series also cover a multitude of psychological...

    Sleight name?

    Nice! Though I'm not sure if the first effect that Blaine did was the one he intended to do originally. Regardless, he clearly aced it. At 2:03 he does a classic pass as you pointed out. The strange thing about his performance here is that he could misdirect the volunteer even if the angle for...

    Sleight name?

    You answered your own question. When you keep track of the position of a card in a deck, it's called a 'control'. There are various controls out there, ranging from the simplest 'take their card and put it on the top', to a seemingly invisible classic pass. When you manipulate which card they...

    Secret Force?!?

    He could've forced a card (or had him pick a card whose identity he knew through a stacked deck, memorised deck, or a peek) beforehand, kept aside the deck (so as to "have no cards" on him), then instead of telling him to think of his card, he played with the words and told him to think of a...

    Youtube Cardistry?

    With cardistry, what you see is what you get and what you have to learn. Many people learn cardistry moves JUST by slowing down performances even. Teaching cardistry on You Tube is usually not a problem. However, it becomes a problem if the move is being sold. Teaching a move up for sales is...

    What’s better to be «technical» or «magician» ?

    I really liked the video. For some reason, gracefulness is often sacrificed when performing magic. It's good to see simply aesthetic magic. Meanwhile... Is it better to be a music producer or a singer? Somebody who can hit the high notes or somebody who can write great songs? I guess I don't...

    Contradicting effects.

    Put-pocketing might be the term you're looking for. I don't specialise in this area (currently) at all and I'm also sure that somebody here can point you out to a source to learn seemingly invisible put-pocketing. However, I firmly believe that trying to reconstruct effects EXACTLY, through a...

    Contradicting effects.

    Penn and Teller Fool Us is such a blessing for magic on TV. All the effects are creative and the presentation is mind-blowing. It is a pity though that laymen need the "Can they fool them?" hook to watch the show. But I guess you can't have everything in life...

    Magic Camp on Disney+ (Review)

    I do pressure fans, one handed fans and riffle fans. But after six months (or 4, if I have been cruel to the cards) I am pretty much limited to a pressure fan, unless I get lucky.

    Hello, I need some recommendations on card magic

    Well, yes and no. I think it depends on the situation on whether you should do a knuckle-busting move. For example, a double undercut is such an amazingly simple and nonchalant way of controlling a card, but that's not the control (if you're including a control) you'd want to use in an...

    No Stupid Questions

    There are also a lot, lot of magicians who aren't confident with the idea of this move even though it's way more logical than all the riffle-types of force. Spread-types of force are of course, miles better, but then the idea of having a member physically pick out a card from a spread is so...

    Magic in Ancient Pop-Culture

    This, is exactly what I was looking for, thanks a lot! :) Dedi being fictional is sad though. I sort of looked up to him as this really clever, business-savvy magician (a Malini of the Ancient times, if you will).
