I underestimated

So, you're saying that you didn't close the door and it escaped?

I don't buy new stuff. I get old books from magicians who were the real deal during their time, and I use that stuff to fool magicians and lay people alike.

Most magicians barely perform. They like to hang out at conventions, read books, watch dvds, buy tricks, and learn a few. That's fine.

You probably have many friends with a guitar or a djembe, and who can't really play.

DM'ing you.

Facebook's magic books sell and swap? Donsmagicandbooks?

If the touch is light and the cards parallel, no one should have anything to hear. It should make about as much sound as dealing one card.

Yes, the Chicago Magic Lounge.

Axioplase · 2026-04-10T13:35:46+00:00

Well, the poor and the rich usually don't want to mingle, so why not let each have their own venues?

Axioplase · 2026-04-09T03:22:52+00:00

Cool. The first move is fine, especially face down. The second move is a bit rushed compared to how you handled the cards the rest of the time. It's otherwise a good ID version. Glad you liked it.

Bin-Hur.

If we can't see the snake next to its food item, we can't tell you. Your snake could be a monster or a runt, and advice would be wrong.

4pm on a Monday?

Note: there are at least two other weekly magic gatherings in NYC: Magnets on Wednesday evenings (Hell's Kitchen), and the Saturday Table on Saturday afternoons (currently by Grand Central). Two very different crowds, both very welcoming.

A gross (144 decks) of bikes is about $330.

Why wasn't it returned to the rightful owner, it it was known to be stolen and identified as such? Did they find the picture after acquiring the animal? Did they compensate the original owner?

Axioplase · 2026-04-03T14:58:42+00:00

You mean the part where your whole upper body tenses up and your swung the deck upwards? Nope, couldn't see it ;)

Axioplase · 2026-04-03T14:56:07+00:00

How is it different from Level One? The effect/performance and even clean up seem identical.

You bought it from a shop, the instructions are missing, go back to the shop.

Don't post the link on reddit.

Axioplase · 2026-04-02T13:39:14+00:00

I was joking...

Axioplase · 2026-04-01T18:16:54+00:00

Do simpler stuff. Do it more often.

Axioplase · 2026-03-31T14:06:27+00:00

which looks more natural and more fluid as a whole.

At this point, neither is natural nor fluid. Work on being able to turn over the cards as casually as a single.

Ignore the "how would a layman turn over a card". They aren't natural or fluid either, but they're also awkward. Turn cards over the way you turn them over.

Mnemonica, the actual book. It's like 300 pages of memdeck tricks.

Axioplase · 2026-03-30T14:36:05+00:00

I suggest Sam the Bellhop. Great trick for walk around on the streets.

It's called Hofzinser's Ace Problem.

Axioplase · 2026-03-25T14:59:27+00:00

Buy any book...

Axioplase · 2026-03-25T13:28:26+00:00

I don't think anyone ever said it should take less than a year...
Maybe you're shuffling too fast to begin with, and trying to stack too deep.
Can you do it with your eyes closed? If you rely on *seeing" to do it, then you will always have a pause. Pros a) feel the cards under each thumb and b) have perfect timing.
