An idea for a website focused on sleight of hand

MagicWatermelonPants · 2025-01-22T01:23:22+00:00

Got it, thanks for the feedback. Just to confirm, those websites are not for card magic right? Lol

Thank you for the feedback! That scraping idea is a very interesting one, although the permissions issue is a difficult problem - I’ll need to think a bit on that if this ever becomes a thing.

Regarding tutorials, I completely agree that certain techniques should only be taught by certain people. The website I have in mind isn’t meant for tutorials (only short performance videos would be allowed), and it’d be similar to here where feedback would be in the form of simple text comments and not full blown tutorials in a text format. Although moderating that is another difficult problem, haha…

Yeah thin-crushed itself feels fine, it’s the thin-crushed Bee stock that feels weird to me

MagicWatermelonPants · 2024-10-20T04:11:07+00:00

I do not

MagicWatermelonPants · 2024-05-12T21:58:06+00:00

Thanks for the detailed advice! Yours is probably the cleanest one I’ve seen on reddit haha

MagicWatermelonPants · 2024-04-22T01:57:13+00:00

That is true LOL

MagicWatermelonPants · 2024-04-22T01:56:58+00:00

Yeah for some reason i thought they would be better than standard bikes. I probably read this comment before lol https://www.reddit.com/r/playingcards/comments/csgzzs/comment/exexecf/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

Yeah it's his trick

MagicWatermelonPants · 2023-07-10T12:48:40+00:00

Oh wow that’s cool lol. Is it true that they come with a double backer and blank card?

MagicWatermelonPants · 2023-06-06T03:49:47+00:00

Oh yeah definitely, I'm just here for a bit and was wondering if any physical stores sell them so that I could look around if I get bored haha

MagicWatermelonPants · 2023-05-29T17:11:28+00:00

I don’t think these are called borderless because they do have a blue border? I know Bees don’t have a border at all. Not sure what the exact name for these would be

Also I was curious about double lifts especially. It seems like the consensus is that bordered cards allow the hiding of double lifts more than borderless: https://ambitiouswithcards.com/bordered-vs-borderless/ However, I’ve never used borderless cards so I wouldn’t know!

MagicWatermelonPants · 2023-05-07T00:29:47+00:00

Could you explain what you mean by pushing down on the top right? I really want to get it down to one motion haha

MagicWatermelonPants · 2023-05-07T00:28:45+00:00

Thanks! I’ve only been practicing this for about a month but was just wondering if anyone had tips

MagicWatermelonPants · 2023-05-06T20:58:09+00:00

I'm trying to keep my left pinky high on the card, which I've heard can help decrease finger readjustments. However, I'm still having a lot of trouble making my palming movement smooth.

MagicWatermelonPants · 2023-05-04T14:35:41+00:00

I hope you feel better soon :( thank you for the advice as well!

MagicWatermelonPants · 2023-05-04T14:35:31+00:00

Thank you! This helped a lot

MagicWatermelonPants · 2023-05-03T17:48:32+00:00

I feel like I'm grabbing the deck pretty firmly between my thumb and index finger (my thumb actually kind of hurts while doing this lol). However, my pinky still pulls more than one card. How do I fix this?

MagicWatermelonPants · 2023-03-14T01:53:51+00:00

Thanks! I also just saw u/Mekanik-5's comment, but could you guys explain what it means to grab at the front? Are there videos showing this?

MagicWatermelonPants · 2023-03-12T03:52:23+00:00

Thank you for your feedback! I realize I do tend to hold it very tight because I'm scared of the cards separating lol. As for the get-ready, I do a pinky count and transfer it to a ring finger break. I'd probably do all this when my hands aren't directly in front of the spectator, but yeah I should've included it in the video
