    Overhand Shuffle Controls: RRTCM

    Effectively, yes. It can be used to show thew card couldn't have been controlled as it isn't on the top or bottom. I present this nonchalantly however so as not to come across as hiding something that already gives that notion. This can and has been very effective against other magicians who...

    Overhand Shuffle Controls: RRTCM

    So to answer your question, they are the same shuffle. The difference being in one your intent is to retain both and the other is simply to hide the top card. By this item being separated I think the authors intent was to show you not just a false shuffle as the previous instruction clearly...

    Help Finding Bee Decks With White Borders

    I think the decks you're looking for are the bordered 'bumblebee' playing cards. They have gotten fairly hard to find in recent years and can sell for a reasonable sums. You can buy unused casino decks from this era with 'stinger' bleeds that will perform almost identically fo far cheaper...

    Thoughts on WikiTest?

    I don’t own it but I have seen it performed and it fooled a room full of magicians. If you regularly perform to different individuals if very much say it’s worth the money if not, maybe not. B.

    How To Make 6 Figues In Magic

    I saw that this morning. it looks interesting but I’m not quite sure how this is going to teach much other than what you could learn online for free with standard business websites and blogs... I’ve built my businesses with hard work. Not from paying someone $3-400 to teach me something google...

    Magicians' Party in AGT This Year?

    I think it's always good to see more magic in the public arena regardless of where that may be. AGT does have a tendency to lean toward musical performance likely for the financial and ease of distribution components. Regardless I'd love to see more magicians proceed further and for the...

    Bicycle vs Tally Ho

    You'd be surprised how different two decks using the exact same stock and finish can be though. I've got hundreds of decks that handle great for 10 minutes and then clump like crazy and yet they are all a bicycle stock and magic finish. Many years ago, someone clarified that USPCC uses two...

    What is the best ACAAN?

    I also should have made that clearer, I know it uses a standard deck with a little set up. At least my intuition tells me how it's done ;) b.

    What is the best ACAAN?

    Thats a hard question. I would say YAMFACAAN by R. Paul Wilson would be one of my favourites. I have a few that revolve around the idea of a gimmicked deck that are very nice as well but I prefer using a standard deck of cards wherever possible. B. EDIT: I should probably add that I haven't...

    Great. I palmed a card. Now what?

    Heaps. Think outside the box. Don't make palming the effect itself but instead the method of an effect. Imagine spectators freely shuffling cards after having one selected only for you to be able to find it at a whim etc. etc. By learning to palm you've opened a door, where it goes and...

    What Book Should I Buy Next?

    Depends on what you're looking to get out of the book... If you want super easy super awesome self working tricks I'd tell you to grab card college light (CCL) or the Encyclopaedia of Card Magic (EOCM) . Both are fantastic. For the money you get far more with the EOCM but the quality of the...

    Where Can I Learn This?

    As reality one has pointed out he has removed the method he's used to get to that conclusion. All we can really be sure of is that it's "a hot one!" b.

    The Top Change:-Um...why?

    I personally don't change fingers during the move. I find using the index and thumb works fine although others may find it easier switching digits! Remember with most sleights, particularly those designed not to be seen that it's often a feel thing rather than a rule that must be followed...

    The Top Change:-Um...why?

    The top change is in the first volume of card college and is a very well written resource. I would argue that for something as simple as the technique behind the top change the RRTCM will suffice but with most sleights having multiple perspectives of the sleight can certainly help to find a...

    The Top Change:-Um...why?

    Hey, The term "outer end" is used to describe this particular finger placement not "outer long end" meaning, this would appear to be normal dealers grip. The reference to overlapping is two part I believe although is left fairly vague. firstly, the cards never align during the change. they...

    Backpalm

    I'd agree with the above. I originally learnt the back palm because an old magician did this goof with it and I wanted to replicate that goof. I practiced it for 1 hour in a class at school and by the end of the class it was looking pretty good! The swivel is hard because if the card is to...

    Deck Collection Storage

    Hey Mike, I store mine in two places. firstly storage boxes for cards I don't need displayed because I'll never use and the remainder of collectible and usable cards are on my bookshelf between my books. Makes my bookshelf look like magic having both the tools and the text side by side. B.

    gatsby // any word on the page??

    It can be done as a stand alone effect but does have some conditions. To be clear it’s not any word on any page but the effect is brilliant in that it doesn’t have to be. What you get is a tool that allows you some incredible mentalism. Well worth the purchase. B.

    Bicycle vs Tally Ho

    Oldschool tally’s were really good but I don’t have the same joy in using the newer prints, they seem much thicker than they used to be. I feel that fan backs are thinner and seem to hold up a little better than circle backs. For the most part I use penguins elite bikes because the stock is...
