    Some old card tricks I made...

    Just to be 'that guy' I will have to point out the the 'Visible Spring Change' already exists. Yeah, I know you said you came up with it quite a while ago...but unless you came up with it before 1936 I'm afraid you were beaten to the punch. See Jean Hugard's 'Card Manipulations No. 5', a...

    Where to go from here?

    I'm glad someone finally said it! It really irks me when people recommend Erdnase to beginners. A cult seems to have formed around it despite it being everything you said. At most, it's an interesting piece of history and worth reading if you into that sort of thing. I've read it, but wouldn't...

    Classic effects

    We have a winner! I wondered how long before someone noticed. Yes, I'm fully aware of the discrepancy, that's what makes this fun from a method point of view. I could have faffed around trying to figure out how to display five cards the whole way through, but why bother when the Elmsley Count...

    Four Card control techniques

    If you've got a table and the four cards can be removed completely from the deck before being replaced in different parts to be 'lost' then Harry Lorayne's 'Spread Control' is an option (See Harry Lorayne's 'Close Up Card Magic'). It's way more deceptive the the description perhaps makes it...

    Cardistry and Magic: What do you think?

    I'm not a 'cardist' by any means, but I can do Sybil cuts, one hand cuts, card springs and a few things like that (classic flourishes if you will). Would I use them when doing magic? Probably, but then I don't try to claim what I'm doing is 'magic'. I tend to perform as though I'm...

    Card control to second position.

    All the above are good suggestions. My preference is the Bluff Pass as I have always felt it seems a lot more open looking than Marlo's Tilt. However, given you are such a dude and actually own some great card magic books, I've done a quick bit of research for you using RRTCM and the best thing...

    An interesting video from Vanishing Inc

    Assuming Theory11 aren't just trying to make a fast buck ( and nothing about their site has ever suggested that) then it is nearly always going to be production costs, and that doesn't just mean the actual costs of the paper, ink etc used to make the deck. Theory11 sells product, and the cost of...

    February: What are you working on?

    I released my first 'ebook' in January and, spurred on by the very positive feedback I received, I have decided to write up some of my other routines. Right now, my big 'thing' is to try and get my 'Royal Oil' routine written up (performance video here if your interested). I made a post on...

    Card Palms

    I remember a few years ago, I read/watched something where a magician stated that there is no such thing as 'hands that are too small.' However, logic dictates this has to be nonsense, as surely it is possible to have hands that are physically not able to conceal a playing card (mine are a good...

    Sankey Magic

    'Anytime Anywhere' was the first Sankey product (and in fact first magic DVD*) I bought. Lots of good stuff on there. I recommend it. *Note, it is not the first magic product I bought full stop. I'd been into magic 10+ years before I bought a DVD. If you're 'new' then go with Royal Road to...

    Tricks that you REFUSE to use

    Ah, but didn't Max Maven once say that magic is inherently profound, but that most performers render it trivial? Rev

    Exposure or not?

    Interesting. So what about people teaching things such as the Elmsley Count, Erdnase Colour Change, Bobo Switch etc? Is it ok to teach this on a site where the public my see them? Also, you say 'few to no tutorials'. Does that mean if an effect has been widely exposed it is fair game, even if...

    Exposure or not?

    I think most of us would agree, exposing magic on YouTube is wrong. Especially other people's creations, which is why some of the big name YouTube magic 'teachers' (and I use the word loosely) have always been a no go for for me. However, there is one person on YouTube, who put's up tutorials...

    Torched and Restored

    He teaches it on his Penguin Live lecture as well, plus you get a lot more other stuff. To be honest, I bought his lecture on a whim one night whilst up with my (at the time) new born daughter. I'd never heard of Brent before then but it's probably one of my favourite Penguin Lectures I've...

    BLANK You! // What the GAFF?

    I learned it from his Penguin Live lecture, though It's probably in one of his books somewhere. His handling was a straight-forward routine in which a black card rises to the top of a pile of red cards four times. Very clean and impromptu, but I felt it lacked an ending, hence my routine. My...

    Tricks that you REFUSE to use

    I refuse to do anything crude or anything thats going to mock the audience: Baffling Bra and Sponge Ding Dong have already been mentioned. I would also like to add the 'Pea Can' to that list.

    BLANK You! // What the GAFF?

    I use blank cards and Kings for my 'Assembilicious' routine which I posted on this forum a while ago (see here). Strictly speaking it doesn't have to be blank cards, but it makes the effect clearer and a few of the displays easier as you don't have to worry about those 'Elmsley descrepancies'...

    Need help with Faro Shuffle....

    You often need to 'break in' new cards in order to get them to faro smoothly. Also, try doing the faro from the top down and then the bottom up to see which way works better for you. (Alternatively, try doing it with the cards face-up rather than face-down). How the cards were cut from the sheet...

    Your obsessions.

    Inspired by something I read in another thread, I though it might be interesting to find out what other peoples specific interests and ‘obsessions’ are. Now, I'm not looking for the names of specific effects here, just broad themes, ideas, plots, or principles your find yourself constantly...
