I get this is a totally subjective question. Of the JAQK decks (black, blue, red, amethyst, rose…if there’s more, I forgot them), which one(s) look best for display purposes?

Been a while! So it’s only taken this long for me to start taking card Magic seriously—still all about props, but I’m starting to float card and packet tricks lot more. Like a lot more. I like being mobile and having as much space as possible is the key! And Tenyo is releasing a “Wild Card”...

I'm trying to see what recommendations there are on these 2 subjects: - Packet Tricks - Card marking (Either principles, or how to design a system...something along those lines). Any help is appreciated!

Happy birthday to one of the coolest cats on the forum. I hope this year is fantastic for you (once the whole Covid-19 thing goes way way down for starters). Keep in practicing those cuts! Happy birthday!

All right. I MAY have an opportunity come up early next year to do magic at a local farmers market. The setup for the market is pretty small, about 20-25 vendors at a time and everyone has a stationary spot of their own. The way the tents are put together, there's no way to just freely roam...

I saw an effect somewhere recently that involved balancing Oreo cookies. I tried looking up reviews for this, but I can't remember the name at all. I believe the effect had an 'x' in the name. My Google-fu is awful. Any help is greatly appreciated!

I’ve been thinking of making a magic trick, but I need to create some customized cards. Not a full 54 card deck, but around 4-5; like a packers worth of cards. How or where does one go about making custom fronts and backs for cards? Is there a website that does this? If you do this on your...

I've joked about billiard ball/multiplying ball magic on the forums a few times, primarilly because it's not something you would normally see and Mark Wilson's Complete Course on Magic has a small section with a routine and some basic sleights with billiards. That and the linking rings are...

It seems that the wheel this year has a longer “dwell time”. I noticed that the space right before it lands on what you get, it drags over REALLY slowly. But it seems that it’s slower this year than previous years. Is this a cruel “feature”, or do I need to take my meds and go to sleep?

Ok. After looking around for different magic mediums because my hands are just oh so fun (arthritis and osteopenia SUCK at 35). I’ve determined that I can either go the route of Mentalism or find something that isn’t finger rings and coins. Seeing how I’m a TERRIBLE reader of people, I would...

My daughter and I were going over our magic boxes the other day and she told me something that I’m not sure how to approach: She wants to be able to read minds. I tried sussing out if its more mental magic she was going for or mentalism. We tried a few tricks I had that operated more along...

All right, sportsfans. It's that time of year where Tenyo starts unveiling what is in store for the line for next year's Tenyo Magic line. Normally, we get four T-numbered tricks for the year; for the last couple of years, they have released 4 regular T-numbered tricks and relased a seperate...

All right, I'm trying to kick myself into gear and I've been working on some coin magic and looking around for, of all things, dice magic. Would anyone happen to know about any tricks (or sleights) or resources that deal with using un-gimmicked/borrowed dice? EDIT: Also. Rhine's Dice. Has...

Daughter-face and I are mulling over the magic equipment and she’s having a blast with it and want to go further. We have a few beginner books, but nothing regarding how to improve performance. I know about ‘Maximum Entertainment’. Would that be a good starting by point for both of us to go...

First of all, this is the first time since I have been in Magic that I have considered the usage of flash paper. I have thought of a routine...more line an 'anti routine'; I have a cigarette made completely out of rolled up flash paper (I am assuming this can be done). I present the trick as...

It's a triple one-handed fan. Put it in your hand today! The tutorial covers EVERY possible base for faster learning and success: over-the-shoulder video, beginner-friendly verbal explanation covering every nuance, all 3 fans covered individually. Put 'Triplicate Fan' in your inventory...

Okay. I just had a kooky idea. I want to make a book of card magic. However, I want to take a book that is already public domain, but change the illustrations. I'm trying to research the odds and ends of it at the moment. But would anyone who is vastly more privy in this sort of area than I...

I'm starting to look around for close up mats for my show. One big issue is that I have a sort of oddly sized table; I'm going to need a 18" X 22" mat. What are the best places to shop for custom sized mats?

It was sled in another thread. So I'll kick it off here. What's in your magic stash/storage/closet/fallout shelter? https://imgur.com/a/N9Bh3

All right, last week I was volunteered to tag along to do some magic for an assisted living home. I normally work with kids, but hey, why not. Experience is experience, right? Thing is, I want to make sure I can prepare myself the best I can for this. I tried asking relevant questions. So...
