    Is there a Think of Any Card trick in existence?

    It's all about presentation. But I agree with the earlier suggestion of the Invisible Deck. In terms of method, it is pretty much the easiest way to accomplish this. With this tool in your pocket, you can go in so many directions in presenting it.

    What do you think about marked cards?

    If you want to easily view marks from a distance, and are okay with buying a deck that's marked and ready to go, the best deck on the market right now for that is the DMC Elites.

    Fake Money? Real?

    Derren Brown uses merely psychology as the surface explanation for his work. But that's just the effect and presentation; in reality it's not psychology he uses for his magic tricks.

    Nostalgic Cards?

    The Pipmen World deck. It was one of the first custom decks I'd ever seen, and I was totally blown away by the creativity, especially the puzzle aspect of it. It proved to be the rabbit hole that brought me into collecting modern playing cards.

    Wow. That's a really bad mistake!

    What exactly was the nature of the error on the Queen of Spades?

    Outdated magic

    It would be such a shame to see that be lost, since it's such a classic part of magic. It can have real potential to amaze in today's era just as much as it always has. I'll never forget seeing Greg Frewin's amazing dove act performed live at his theater in Niagara Falls - outstanding. He...

    Non Magic Books for Magic?

    For me it would be fantasy novels generally, especially ones where there's an alternate reality besides the one visible to the human eye. It's helped to make me think about the distinction between what what is actually happening in a trick, and what the spectator sees; and between method and...

    Jerry's Nuggets

    That's correct. For anyone interested in learning more about the reprint, I've covered them in detail in this article, including a comparison with the original decks: The Legendary Jerry's Nugget Playing Cards https://playingcarddecks.com/blogs/all-in/the-legendary-jerrys-nugget-playing-cards

    Derren Brown Playing Cards

    You wouldn't let them actually do this of course. But if they said "Can I look at the deck, is it a trick deck?" you'd immediately be on the back foot, and have to start managing things to prevent that. With an ordinary deck that's no issue at all - you can actively hand it out and say...

    Derren Brown Playing Cards

    Because it can't be examined. A quick riffle test (taking the deck to the movies) by a spectator will reveal that it's marked, and make them suspicious that it's a "trick deck". Even if you're doing card magic that doesn't even use the markings, they'll think that you're able to do your...

    Next Card College Volume?

    Definitely start with Volume 1 before Volume 2. I worked carefully through some of the basic sections, and was amazed by how many small things I had been doing incorrectly for years, or could improve by doing it Giobbi's way. It's foundational, and well worth while going through from the...

    Derren Brown Playing Cards

    It's just for the box set, not for the basic deck. Card reveals or gaffs, sure. But markings on the card backs? I wouldn't want every magician-produced deck having this. Plus there are so many different marking systems that exist, starting with reader systems and coded systems.

    Jerry's Nuggets

    It's important that the record on this be corrected. After some careful research I have discovered that this often quoted figure of 40,000 is simply not factual. At most, it was only 14,000 decks. The person who made the purchase was French magician Dominique Duvivier. I have corresponded...

    No Virtuoso 2018 Deck

    It's finally happening. The Virtuoso P1 deck has been announced, and preorders opened up via info given to subscribers of their email mailing list. Some preview images of the new deck have been released on their Instagram page: https://www.instagram.com/thevirts

    What's the point of four ace productions for magicians?

    In isolation, producing a four Ace production is incomplete. However it can be a great way to prove your credentials as a bona fide magician very quickly, so that your audience is disarmed and won't try to figure out the secret of the routine that follows. It also works well when routined...

    Best “Think of a Card” trick?

    It really is hard to beat the Invisible Deck for a method. Ultimately it's going to come down to how you want to present this, however.

    I'm going to buy some magic books but need opinions.

    I concur with the recommendation for Roberto Giobbi's Card College. I've written a list of my other top recommendations for people looking to move from beginner to intermediate level card magic in this article: Recommended Resources For Beginners In Card Magic
