card control

So I was messing around with my cards, and I don't know if I've seen this before or if it goes by a different name since it might not technically be a double-lift, but it seems like it could be used the same way double-lifts would be. The move would be the desired card on the bottom, and using...

Hey! I've been practicing magic for about three or four weeks now, and I've come up with a bit of a trick that I'd like to refine. I get the spectator to pick two cards (or two to pick one each) and then I control one to the top and one to the bottom, then huzzah, magic happens. The problem I'm...

Hi All! I was hoping to learn the Paradigm Shift Card Control by Simon Black, but it was taken down from Lost Art Magic for some reason, and I can seem to find anywhere else where I can purcahse and download. Anyone have a solid lead? Thanks! -JL

Hey guys what's up I'm assuming this is probably happened to most of you. A lot of times I notice that my hands and fingertips are so smooth that the cards just slip right through them and I have no sort of grip on any of the cards and I'm not talking about brand new cards just certain times...

* A few days ago I came across a post here in this very forum about presentation anxiety. I kept reading through every reply and wrote my own and then thought it is something that many can relate to and almost every deals with at some point or another. So I decided make my next video on this...

So I've got EATCT, ECT, RRTCM, The Complete Walton, the Card Manipulation series (being in the public domain) and Meir Yedid's Incredible Close Up Magic. I have a pretty great foundation on magic. I know several good card controls, from shuffle controls to shifts and steals; I can palm okay: I...

Hiya! As weird as it is, I've never really done an ACR as I felt like it was too overused. That is until recently when I tested one out on someone using a few basic sleights I already knew. He freaked out and now I've started trying to expand the trick with more controls and whatnot. This is my...

So whenever I start using the decks a lot it naturally will create some crimps here and there, which is confusing whenever I want to use the crimp as a card control. So is there a quick way to uncrimp the cards so that after uncrimping the next crimp I do is the only one remaining? thx

Hi everyone, I think I'm at a odd point in pursuing magic. I rely on sleights to perform all my effects. I don't know of any other moves that would be useful or something. I'm currently looking into gamblers sleights. I'm looking for a sleight to control a known card from top to second without...

Is there a way to control a card (say freely chosen from the middle of the deck) to "x" position from the bottom or top of the deck? (2nd from bottom, 3rd, 4th etc.) I've done some research, but I can't seem to find what I am looking for.

Hello, I discovered a nice control yesterday, do you know if it has a name already ? Thanks

Working on building an ACAAN method that is perfect under all test conditions, what are the test conditions for this effect? Also, what's a good place to start to learn effects that would be good here. Nick

VIDEO - Hey, Im 14 and invented this card control few months ago when I was playing with cards.... It definitely needs improvement but is this already out there??? (I had nobody to take the video for me so I had to hang it and take a top view)..... Thanks Ok so this is what happens 1)...
