cards

Hi guys, I've been practicing the strike bottom deal for a while now, and in my opinion it's gotten pretty decent by now. My biggest problem at the moment is the noise, as the sound of the bottom deal is much louder than the normal deal, thus making it easy for anyone to notice that I'm dealing...

Hi guys, me again :) I've been looking to broaden my repertoire (if you can call it that) of magic techniques a little bit, and as passes and shifts seem to be pretty handy both in card magic and in gambling I was wondering which passes/shifts you use most. It would be great if you could focus...

Now this question might sound stupid, but I'm confused. Is there a difference between the Bicycle Maiden Back Marked Cards and Penguin Magic Marked Cards? I mean both are selling at almost the same price on the Penguin Magic website. If there is can you help me with: 1. Which one is easier to...

what are good cardistry cards that have the same custom face look and court face cards look while not being the same cards but having the same style look and being great for cardistry.

Hello Everyone! I am relatively new to magic and mentalism, as I have started them about 2 years ago. I have mostly just used cards and coins to do my tricks, and have tried to master all the different sleights and tricks on YouTube, and in some books (The Encyclopedia of Card Tricks, etc). I...

I feel like as magicians (specifically those like myself who specialize in card tricks) it becomes rather tiresome at one point and its easy to burn out. I want to see if you guys have any idea on how we can apply our sleight of hand/cardistry in a practical way. What I mean by this, is that...

I live in Winnipeg, and the weather regularly gets down to -40°(the same in farenheit or Celsius). I've noticed that whenever I take them outside they develop a click. Even if they're just outside for a few minutes and in my jacket pocket. Is there anything I can do to avoid this?

Thoughts about that ? Are you as disappointed as me ? I hope they make us an amaizing deck for 2019 (or maybe even 2).

hey everyone, I am trying to crate a stage trick with cards and need some advice for a segment of the trick. I want to have a spectator put the card in THEIR pocket and have it vanish into mine. is this even possible, to make a card disappear from someone else's pocket.

He guys! I'm wondering if anyone out there could help me! I've spent some time now trying to nail down the double deal. Through much online searching I've found very little content on the subject. I'm currently using Expert Card Technique to learn the double deal from but I'm hoping there will...

Hi everyone, I came to the Theory11 forums to find out if the color change I independently came up with has been created before. I want to make sure I actually created it before taking credit for the sleight. I have an entire process of getting the card to the point that you see in the video...

Hi guys, So im working on an effect where I need the spectator to choose a forced card from a selection of cards on the table. So there are 9 cards on the table in a row and I need the spectator to choose a pre-selected card by either bringing there finger down onto it, or naming it allowed...

Hey guys I’m new to theory 11 and I am really excited to be here! I’ve been recently working on a card magic show and workshop charity event that I am running at my local library for December 15. I’ve been getting more serious in card magic (not as a career though) and am wondering how I should...

So I'm a beginner to Cardistry, and I've been using two types of cards, the Tally-ho Circle back and the Standard Bikes. I've used the Tally's for about 2-3 weeks now, and the Bikes for only a day. I find that the Bikes slide a lot more that the Tallys, and its easier to do cuts like the...

So, I have dry hands and I live in a dry environment. As such, my cards slide very well against each other. However, this makes it difficult to keep doubled as well. I've tried the following: I've seen magicians simply pinch one side hard enough for the friction to keep it together, but it...

Hey, So a few days ago I took part in an online discussion about the role of cardistry and card flourishing in magic. Many interesting questions were brought up such as should you do flourishing in a magic performance? Is cardistry harming magic? So on and so forth. Anyhow, in the end I thought...

Hi Everyone I am looking to learn some Christmas themed magic tricks for my restaurant bookings. I am planning to get the spectator to tell me what they would get me for Christmas, and i pull out a thank you card thanking them for the present. I've had a few ideas of how to do this but keep...

Hey all. I used to magic when I was a kid and am just getting back into it. I've always been terrible at card tricks, I just don't have the dexterity to work them right. I'm wondering if it's possible to use rough/smooth to have 4 cards together as one and then split into two, then split into...

Hello magic community, I was wondering if anyone can put me on a good path to magic. I started really getting into magic when I was in high school. I ended up loving it and then continued to learn and practice more as I went to undergrad. After college I started to not practice as much and...

Does anyone know where I can get a cheap-ish hardback playing card mat. I don't want it to be too expensive and I have searched on ebay but can't even find one that is hardback.
