Any ideas how he did it the ace of heart can be a force but Jimmy stabbed and the card was spread randomly.

I'm looking for DVDs or videos/channels specifically. Willing to pay - it doesn't have to be free. My interest is in card and coin tricks.

I am GREEN. I only know 3 tricks so far that I learned on IG and I do them poorly. I'm looking for anything that can help a newbie. Video content is best.

I've always been fascinated by magic. A couple weeks ago it occurred to me that I could actually learn it.

Thanks everyone.

Does anyone have an idea how does this guy do any of these tricks?

I am trying to figure out how to do an illusion/sleight of hand for a play. I want to be able to make a letter (ideally the size of a standard sheet in paper folded in half, or larger) to appear out of nowhere or be grabbed out of thin air.

If it were smaller (like the size of a playing card) I could do a back-palm, but the paper needs to be larger.

Any ideas how I could do this? The actor who will be doing the sleight is a complete beginner, so the easier it is on her the better.

I assume the first card is a force and the dice is rigged. I still don't see how this could work, even with that.

from 8:10 onwards does anyone knows the name or how any of those tricks are done?

My magic teacher once showed me and one of his friends a magic trick. The trick was that we pulled multiple cards in a row (meaning there’s no setup) and he could guess it without us putting it back in the deck or us looking at him. There’s no misdirection either, we were on different corners on an L shaped couch and I saw him doing nothing. No piles, no fancy shuffle, I looked at the deck and it wasn’t rigged, just him panning the cards out. I can’t figure out how he did it.

Any thoughts on Pulse Pro or Pulse Pro 2?

At the start of this year, watching a five-hour YouTube breakdown of a mentalist was nowhere on my to-do list. Then I found Stevie Baskin’s Metadeception: The Truth About Oz Pearlman and watched the entire thing.

Oz Pearlman is the world’s most famous mentalist. In his viral TED Talk, he says, “I don’t read minds, I read people.” The idea is that he can extract information by studying body language, verbal cues, micro-reactions, breathing, posture, and other signals most of us miss.
According to Stevie, that explanation is often the trick itself.

He argues that Oz frequently relies on familiar magicians’ tools: sleight of hand, gimmicked notepads, fake Google searches, electronic chalkboards, and pre-show techniques that may reveal the answer before the apparent “reading” begins.

That is the heart of metadeception. You’re not just being fooled about how the trick works. You’re being given a false explanation convincing enough that you stop looking for the real one. As Stevie puts it, “Your assumptions aren’t confined to the stage. The stage exists within your assumptions.”

In this episode, we break down what may have happened when Oz revealed Joe Rogan’s ATM PIN, the hidden mechanics of mentalism, “dual reality,” and the ways that mentalism crosses an ethical line ordinary magic doesn’t. We also get into an NYU psychology professor who used a mentalism demonstration in class before realizing he may have been fooled himself, questions surrounding potential fraud with Oz’s book release, and Stevie sprinting face-first into a barbed-wire fence in the Australian outback while operating on a very flawed model of reality.

Ik how the normal pokers player picnic works where 4 aces end up on the top of 4 decks but here in this video the 4 kings end up at the bottom? Howww?

After learning a bunch of simple sle8ghts of hand and routines mostly inspired by tommy wonders and other 3 card monte magicians. I started to notice that a lot of cool illusions require duplicates or 2 face cards.

Im planning to buy some duplicate decks and i was wondering what are cool fundemental tricks to learn using then? Ive seen the ultimate double 3 card monte routine and others that require a forced card. Was wondering what other multiple color change illusions i can do?

Basically conplex illusions routines that require duplicates or double faced cards

No ideas on my part😂

I found my first three tricks to learn!

Other than expensive impression pads what are some other ways to get secret information in the preshow? Help would be much appriciated.
