    When card tricks go wrong.... :(

    Hi All The weather where I am is currently atrocious, so I figured I'd try out a new card trick. As you'll see, things didn't quite go to plan.... ;) Thanks for checking it out. Rev

    Thoughts on WOW 2.0 by Masuda?

    That's a super fun idea! If there was some sort of way to get an audible 'ping' just as the card finished changing you'd have one hilariously stupid but impressive piece of magic. There was something on the market years ago called the Wowlett, which was basically a wallet that could hold a Wow...

    "Behind the back" card trick

    I guess what this boils down to is being able to 'force' a card behind someone's back. If you read/study enough you should be able to come up with or adapt something something. Here are a few ideas: Harry Lorayne has a trick called 'Super Location' (performance here) which could easily be...

    Your Favorite Way to Control a Card to the Top

    Correct, but then I don't pass at all. But again, if people aren't looking why not just cut the deck? Rev

    Your Favorite Way to Control a Card to the Top

    Thank god you're here to point out what we're all doing wrong... Question though: If they're not looking anyway, why bother with a classic pass? Why not just cut the deck? Blantant actions are total invisible if done when no one is looking, the top change proves this theory. The classic pass...

    Your Favorite Way to Control a Card to the Top

    99% of the time it's a Double Undercut and Jog Shuffle. Works for me and works for layman so I see no reason to use anything more complicated. Also works for controlling a card to the bottom or 2nd, 3rd etc from the top. I have one trick where I need a card controlled to the bottom but two...

    Oil and water

    @Dmezhkov - Seemed kinda obvious to me. Is this your handling or did you read/see it somewhere else? Also, I love your close-up pad! Where did you find it/what make is it? @Gabriel Z. - Handling was little stiff, but you're nearly there. Liked that is also had a definite ending, a lot of O&W...

    How to make a card trick entertaining...

    Just saw this on youtube and thought it worth sharing. As magicians it's easy to get hung up on how 'good' a trick is in terms of method, difficulty etc. Based on those criteria alone this trick is fairly low down in the pile, but watch the way he presents it and the reaction he gets. Rev

    "Let me see the card", double lift help.

    That would be the 'KM Move' (Kardyro-Marlo Move) assuming you mean stealing the rear card of a face-up double. Great sleight with some fun applications. Other than that I have nothing to add to this thread other than seconding what everyone else has said. Rev

    Out of this World

    This. I was going to point out that it's not about 'adding complexity' but more about whether you can do it as part of a series of card tricks. Like you say, it's hard to follow and is also quite a long trick so you really don't want to be having to do it as an opener! Harry Lorayne has an...

    david blaine: beyond magic

    Interesting that you cite both Fitzkee and Eugene Burger as I am sure I've heard Eugene Burger state he can't stand the Fitzkee trilogy. Plus Mr Burger presents 'tricks' as well. Outside of the seance-type stuff, not everything he does has deep meaning. Think about his 'Worlds Fastest Card...

    Birthday Set

    The Lipsmacker/French Kiss connection is a really nice idea! Just goes to show how you can tie completely different effects together if you think about the presentation even just a little bit. Did anyone get any video of the performance? I would expect 'yes' to be the answer given the age we...

    Jason Ladanye At The Table Lecture

    I'm a massive fan of the 'online lecture' format which has really found it's feet in the last few years. I feel like it's a great way to get a 'sampler' of a magician's material for a reasonable price. However, this is the first one I have felt compelled to write a review of, so lets get into...

    I have no idea of the method...but seriously what a KILLER piece of magic! And such a natural, understated performance as well. Rev

    Four Aces from a shuffled, regular deck...

    Just watched your video. Liked the Ace cutting but LOVED the productions towards the end. You're palming is phenomenal and there were several moments where I could have sworn your hands were empty when there is just no way they could have been!. My favourite moment was the Hindu Shuffle. What a...

    Four Aces from a shuffled, regular deck...

    Thanks man! Glad you liked it. Re the Faro Shuffle. You hear so many people say they have 'mastered the Faro' and what they mean by this is that they can do a perfect Faro even single time. However, most of these people also stare so intently at their hands that the illusion of mixing is...

    Card Control Question

    Why would you ask such a question without consulting RRTCM? Next you'll be telling me you haven't checked 'Card College' or 'Expert Card Technique'! Light ribbing aside, Bluff Pass or possibly a Cull sounds like the way to go. Not sure I agree with avoiding shuffling. Magicians love the idea of...

    Card Control Question

    Have you looked in Royal Road to Card Magic? You could simply control to the top, then run the required number of cards during an Jog shuffle. Alternative suggestions: Bluff pass. Tilt. Catching a break a few cards above the selection when having it replaced then double undercut to the top. If...
