    Breather Crimps

    Guys, The Infinity crimp and a breather crimp* operate on the exact same principle. They're both simple bas-relief crimps and are conceptually identical to the Jontay crimp from Greater Magic as well as many other crimps. How you get into them is slightly different, but once the work is in...

    Bicycle Dragon Backs at Target

    I pointed this back design out to JB a few months before these were produced. This image (without the color), is actually a Tally-Ho back design from the late 1800s. The only place I've ever seen it was in a salesman's sample catalog that I have. I don't know if they were ever actually...

    Error in Expert at the Card Table?

    Gardner is wrong. The text in Erdnase is correct and matches the illustration exactly. Gardner seems to think Erdnase was trying to explain the slip cut where the packets move laterally across the table. If that had been his goal, then I'd agree with Martin and think that Erdnase had screwed up...

    Juan Tamariz- Mnemonica Stack

    There is still some mis-information in this thread. Neither the Aronson stack or Mnemonica are "more random" than the other. Both have features that a lengthy, close examination by a knowledgeable person could uncover. What's more important though is that they both look completely random to a...

    expert at the card table

    A first edition in good condition sold 4 days ago for $975.00. It was going to be an "open" sale but it changed hands privately before the web page could go up. I know of at least one other that sold in the last 3 years for $100.00. It was also in very good condition. The lady had no idea what...

    Jason Englands Classic pass.

    Fridolina, You asked me these same questions in a PM, but I thought I'd answer them here since they're all good questions and others may benefit from the answers as well. First of all, I sometimes pull upwards very slightly with the right third fingers (using the second finger as a pivot...

    Miller Shift Variation Feedback

    It's a good book that I used when I was going through dealing school here in Vegas several years ago. Recently I needed to revisit that book for a project and found it to be very useful for me. Jason

    Miller Shift Variation Feedback

    Just a few clarifications: What is being called the "Draw Shift" (as good a name as any I guess), was in print in the 1860s with illustrations. It's much, much older than Marlo. Look in Robert-Houdin's Card-Sharpers: Their Tricks Exposed for an illustration of the basic concept. I know of...

    Are Gambling Demos really "Gambling Demos" Or another type of Flourish?

    There is no up-the-ladder false cut in the Forte clip you referenced. In fact, there are no false cuts in that clip at all. Jason

    I already seen this trick

    I say this to magicians all the time. The difference is, I'm telling the truth. Ninety-nine percent of the time, I have seen this one before. Jason

    $15,000 Secret Magic File Auction

    The auction is completely real, completely legitimate (and legal in all respects), and completely boring. The only person who has plans/contracts/autographs in this auction that might have been even remotely interested in it is David Copperfield. Turns out, he's not interested. Prediction: It...

    This might be interesting for the mechanics in the room.

    He's legit. Took me 2 seconds of reading his posts (specifically the language he used) to figure that out. The only other possibility is that he's a world-class practical joker with excellent knowledge of how to cheat. My money is on option one. Jason PS: Just because he is or was a "real"...

    Deck of the Decade

    And I hate you burst your bubble, but you're wrong. We're in the last year of the first decade of the 21st century. The 21st century began on Jan. 1st, 2001 and the first decade of this new century will end at the stroke of midnight on Jan. 1st, 2011. Jason

    Ernest Earick

    Met him and spent 2 days with him over a decade ago (Sep. 1999). He was great and did every move in the book beautifully. Strangely, he didn't do any (or many) actual tricks. He just loved the moves. Fine by me. Jason

    Riffle Stacking Correction Techniques

    This should read like this: Now we have.... AAxxxxAxxxxxA - rest of deck Pick up a break as you square underneath the ace with the parenthesis around it. AAxxxx(A)xxxxxA - rest of deck I added the "rest of deck" part, but Grant mis-typed his setup formula. It's a nice solution though...

    Casey, Yes, and that possibility is mentioned in the original post above. You just overlooked it (it's a large post, I know). Jason

    Riffle Stacking Correction Techniques

    I received an email at my personal email account asking about a technique for correcting a riffle stack that's too heavy in one or more areas. I thought the question was an excellent one, and it's the type of thing I would have addressed on the 1-on-1 if we hadn't been running long already...

    Gambling: Keeping the full deck order.

    You mentioned that I “attacked you and your friends when you gave your opinions” – referring to my original comment that kicked this whole argument off. Again, I admit I should have used softer language. I was in a hurry and just wanted to quickly clarify the point that full-deck controls still...
