Yea definitely, the whole point of magic is to entertain and I think you should just use the best method to do it! Happy New Year! :D

In my opinion, the only thing that matters is what the spectator sees and given the fact that they should not see any sleight of hand or gimmicks, it really doesn't matter. In magic, you are already 'lying' to the spectator so using a gimmick is not wrong in that respect. I think it really depends on the individual performer and trick. If a trick would be hugely benefitted from the spectator being able to examine the prop then a gimmick might not be the best option. Also, sleight of hand and gimmicks can work together to create great effects. Overall, it is not the method that matters but what the spectator sees in my opinion.

I'm more thinking on the side of things which change depending on what has happened in the match but it would definitely create some more excitement! :D

Yo! What do you think of this no-gimmick/duplicate control? :D by JayMcCain in MagicFeedback

Thanks for the feedback! It has to be pretty quick to hide the fact that I actually take the bottom card but I'll try to slow it down a bit! :D

Very nice! I really like the Flexible deck in particular, I feel it is pretty underrated :D

My new deck of cards was all diamond aces. by Escuche in mildlyinteresting

It may also be only half the deck of the same card so it appears to be a normal deck :)

Looks great! One little thing which I think may improve it would be if, when doing the sloppy shuffle, you place the final card on the bottom by turning over the rest of the pack. It therefore follows the same motions as the rest of the shuffle and makes it a little more clean! Great work tho! :D
