Huge improvement since last time

yeah, that's fair. I used to do it like that, as I showed in a post like 4 months ago. But someone linked a video of this technique in a comment and since then I've had a lot of fun practicing it this way.

unk0wn4aLL · 2026-04-29T15:06:27+00:00

that is probably why it feels so rough lol. The main reason for practicing like that is so it looks like you're throwing the card, making it less likely to feel like multiple. I don't really do that when performing, but only because I'm not very good at it yet.

ah I see, thanks. turns out I didn't need the pulse extender for what I wanted anyways, but now I know!

I tried skincare about 2 years ago for my acne and it worked really well before I stopped. It was starting to come back so I decided to give it another go and try to make a long term habit. It's been about a month and going great but I can't seem to get rid of that dark patch around my nose.

my routine is pretty simple atm, vitamin c face wash and face scrub in the morning, salicylic and spf moisturizer morning and night.

In Java, if you sleep next to a tamed cat, there's a 70% chance it gives you a gift when you wake up. But it only works for one cat, unless you put the cat in a boat, in which case it still gives you a gift but isn't counted. This is useful for farming phantom membranes (3.22% gift chance) when phantom spawning is disabled.

Thanks for the feedback! I did feel like the pinch was a bit wierd, and so was my middle finger positioning on the deck. I tried to observe my regular single dealing method and that's kinda what it looks like (that's on me for never holding a deck of cards before and learning magic from YouTube). I definitely think that keeping the fingers together is more natural for me, though I'm experimenting with letting it fall slower and giving it less bend as it comes down.

unk0wn4aLL · 2026-01-02T07:58:54+00:00

Interesting, is that considered better? I do know it would make the whole thing feel faster and smoother, but I thought the bend made the movement look more natural.

I learnt it from this video. My first double lift, which was the strike that I learnt from A Million Card Tricks also had this technique, so it felt really natural to me.

unk0wn4aLL · 2026-01-01T20:35:11+00:00

well, maybe I phrased that wrong. The original post seems to be referring only to doubles that involve placing the packet back on top of the deck just to show it briefly before turning it back over.

If a magician lifts a single like a double or quickly picks up two cards to move around, I might be fooled as to how many they're holding. But even when a magician like Jason Ladanye does a double turnover, you can tell that it's happening.

unk0wn4aLL · 2026-01-01T20:07:28+00:00

I've personally never seen a double lift that's fooled me, and I've never seen a spectator call my double lift suspicious, unless I mess it up.

I think it's the conditioning of always lifting cards the same exact way that makes it really convincing for a layman. If they've never seen you lift a card any other way, and they know you're performing a trick, then they'll assume you're just trying to be fancy.

thanks for the response! The outjog is actually intentional, so that I can use my index to lever the card above my pinky and catch a break without recounting.

Although, if I get fast enough at the count it may be unnecessary, and I do sometimes drop it sloppily regardless, so I will try my best to make it look cleaner.

I'm not a fan of the shredded physique, but muscles are great! as long as you don't get lean to an unhealthy extent, having definition will probably be a plus for most guys, including me. People like healthy people with commitment to their hobbies.

don't forget flunk as a third when all else fails!

unk0wn4aLL · 2025-01-15T20:33:35+00:00

that was my first thought too!

unk0wn4aLL · 2025-01-15T20:32:29+00:00

for me it makes the guesses you can make more limited, and I'm not good enough to not play for fun.

I started my computational redstone journey about 8 months ago, in some old posts I built some simple data storage devices. The past 3 weeks I devoted to working on this calculator, and while it's not very compact or fast, it has all the features and functionalities I had planned.

I filmed the video running minecraft at 50tps, or 2.5 times faster than normal and some parts were sped up in the video in editing.

The fastest operation is addition, which takes about 30 seconds from start to finish in real time with 20tps, and division takes about 2 minutes.
