    Top Ten Close up illusions

    I'm a card guy through and through. I could list all my favourite card routines here, but quite frankly the responses I have received from my card tricks pale in comparison to the reactions I have received from the one non-card trick I do... ..Crazy Man's Handcuffs. Everyday objects...

    Naming magic

    I happen to be writing up some routines at the moment and thus had to decide upon names for some of my most recent ideas, which reminded me of this thread. Personally, I'm starting to find the single-word, 'cool' names such as 'Counterfeit' and 'Alchemy' a little tiresome. Being that my...

    Saturday Night Contest - The Classics

    Curious to see the winner of this one. I love the classics and especially love seeing other peoples versions/handlings/wrinkles/presentations. Shame my video doesn't count as I am awfully proud of that routine, but I guess it's my fault for being to lazy to re-record! I hope everyone enjoyed it...

    Is this an original color change?

    I had to look up the Duck Change as I am not familiar with it. My only observation is that you 'bend' the card slightly differently to do the change. Seems like such a minor point that it really doesn't warrant the moniker 'original'. Even taking the minor difference into account, Blaine...

    Is this an original color change?

    I've definitely seen this before, in fact I use it, but I can't find a source for it. I'm sure I've heard it referred to as the 'Splash Change' in the past, credited to Paul Harris, though I can't substantiate that. Best evidence I can find: Blaine does it in the below video at about 1min...

    Man, it's been a while since I've seen one of those! Great idea! Rev

    Saturday Night Contest - The Classics

    No worries buddy. I only decided to give it a go as I already had the video on my channel. Can't really be bothered to drag out the camera and close-up pad to do it again... ;) Good luck to everyone else! Rev

    Loving the fact you used that particular method! Underrated amongst experienced cardmen, in my opinion. Rev

    Saturday Night Contest - The Classics

    Ultimate Three Card Monte could simply be considered a version of the Three Card Monte Plot, which is definitely a classic. Rev

    Saturday Night Contest - The Classics

    I've shared this on the forums before, but hopefully it's ok to use here. It's essentially a handling of 'Oil and Water', but more specifically is handling of Roy Walton's now classic 'Oil and Queens' effect (see The Complete Walton for the original). Just to explain my thinking: My...

    Advanced Use of Classic Trick Decks

    I'd say the Invisible Deck is just as much a one trick pony as the MP Deck. If anything I'd say it's much more limited than either a Svengali or Stripper. A Stripper Deck simply allows you to control cards to be used in whatever way you want whilst a Svengali is essentially just a forcing tool...

    Advanced Use of Classic Trick Decks

    I've been into magic for 20 odd years. I'm pretty much purely a card guy and I am well versed in all kinds of well known (and more obscure) sleights and principles. I have a bookshelf full of books on sleight of hand card magic. But I frickin' love Svengali decks. I used to live about 30...

    I Need All The Help I Can Get

    I don't know the stack either, but for some reason I know the last card is the 9D....not sure where I picked up that pointless piece of info. Also, your observation re the reaction is spot on. Perhaps the problem with this kind of magic is that you never know when you might have to improvise or...

    I Need All The Help I Can Get

    You think?! I basically told you.... Again, same two words: Juan Tamariz. He's pretty well known for his memorised deck work. I know you're relatively new to magic so look him up. You'll be glad you did! Rev

    Addendum: also, note the bottom card when Katy is checking the deck... Rev

    I Need All The Help I Can Get

    Re the Blaine clip... Two words: Juan Tamariz. A bunch more words. Find a clip of him performing for Katy Perry. He does the same trick, but isn't quite as lucky, though you'd never know. The card is always a free choice but Blaine has 'control' of another variable meaning he is able to finish...

    Pulling Suggested a Card

    Aldo Colombini has a routine called 'Draw a Blank' which is pretty good. No 'gimmicks' as such, self contained and pretty impressive to lay people. You can find it on Vol.1 of his L&L DVDs http://llepub.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=7_4&products_id=383 Rev

    What's the point?!

    Inspired by something I saw in another thread…. If you could really do magic, what would you do? Would you use you powers to rid the world of poverty? Would you become a superhero? Perhaps you’d go to the dark side and become a super villain? Or would you use it to make the two black jacks...

    Best fork magic

    Jay Sankey's 'Stirring Silver'. Jay does it with a spoon but i don't see any reason why you couldn't do it with a fork. The video below just shows the first phase, there is a second phase with the ring is removed from the spoon over the 'fat end' as well. Best thing is it's is fairly simple to...
