r/cardmagic

I can control a card if its somewhat poking out or if I'm given the card first but I find a descent amount of people like to just put it in themselves so that I can't even see it. Any advice for a beginner?

The title says it all, but I want you guys to chime in. Why is this book so expensive? Even the original cards are. I just saw a listing on Ebay for book and deck for €1700 I poop you not.

I would love to own a copy of the book, but what magician who doesn't already own it has the kind of money where they can drop almost 2 stacks on a book?

Listen this is coming from the guy who just spent, without batting an eyelid, €200 on Strong Magic (signed, hell yeah) by Darwin Ortiz, and I feel like that's a fair price for what is considered a classic and invaluable magic book.

Anyways I would love to see if I'm alone in thinking that the sellers of these books are gonna be cleaning them of dust for a while to come.

The ruffle shuffle is the worst force, certainly from the stage.

Talk amongst yourselves. (Congrats tonight Rudy)

I wrote something similar here a while ago. But on public transit I practice my double lift over and over. For example a three hour train is three hours of working on it (alongside other stuff too).

What I've found is on almost every train I get someone notices and asks to see a trick. From there I end up performing to groups etc.

Maybe this is just a UK thing because people generally can be social on trains here. But yeah, I love train magic!

Hello hello card lovers , I'm a half decent cardistry dude , I've a standard beaten up bicycle deck but lately I've been following this youtube channel called a millionmagictricks , and I kinda want to get into magic now , for me in egypt , stripper deck and marked decks are out of stock , svengali and mirage brainwave and invisible all are in stock , do i get mirage deck as my starting magic deck and just make do with my beaten up standard for other tricks and cardistry or do i just get a prettier version (or another standard) of bicycle for both cardistry or magic? i wanna hear your honest opinions because I'm torn , one side of me wants prettier cardistry deck and still do magic with it and practice said magic and cardistry on my beaten up standard , another part of me thinks mirage deck is the coolest thing ever but I'm afraid if i buy it i'll be limited to it and wont be able to do much with my standard because its badly beaten up and looks bad to perform with either cardistry or magic

sorry if this seems a bit incohesive 😔
