Hello!

How long have you been doing card magic for? HAve you performed for any crowds or at any shows? And what is your favourite type of pie?

Welcome to the madness!

You say 'Amazing Card Magic', what do you mean? What are a couple of the tricks you do well?

For me, 'amazing card magic' is any card trick that creates the magic moment for someone. One of my favorites is 'Cards Across'. Another one that works well for me is a simple Marlo color changing deck.

Yes. I don't like stage magic though. I mainly do close-up.

Sleight-of-hand magic and miracles with a genius thinking behind them.

It's not the trick, it's how you present it All magic is meant to be amazing, anyway.

Transpo's, sandwiches, triumphs, these things.

Thank you for the welcome

Which version of Triumph do you prefer? I am partial to a couple of Ed Marlo versions. Do you ever use any gimmicked decks such as the Cheek-To-Cheek Deck?

I prefer using sleight of hand but there are times I throw in a gimmicked deck or a stacked deck just to mix things up.

I don't use gimmicked decks even though there some that I like, such as the Brainwave or the Svengali. I try to come up with impromptu versions of tricks that require gimmick decks and if you have good basis this is very possible and eliminates a lot of problems.

I don't know the name of the triumph I do, it's the one where the cards are "mixed" in chunks, resulting in a face-up half and a face-down half. Then the top half is turned over and the selection ends up being the only face-up card. It's a classic, but I don't know where it's published.
