Hey there, welcome to my world. The mystical world of magic. The place where it is common to pull rabbits out of hats, saw beautiful women in half, and find your card no matter where it is. If you are not a magician, or are not serious about the art of magic. (or aren't a friend of mine) I would ask you to leave now, so as to not ruin it for those of us intrested in magic.
Well, now that we've dispensed with the formalities, WELCOME!
As you may be able to tell, my page is a work in progress, however, when finished I'll hope to cater to all types of magicians. Right now my page is pretty bleak, but I've found some cool magic pictures and will upload them as soon as I learn how!Lower on the page I will include two Self-Working Card tricks, and one trick requiring some sort of "Slight" of card minipulation. (The harder trick being reserved for more advanced magicians. I hope to be able to update my tricks every couple weeks or so.
LET'S GET TO THE TRICKS!!!!
What is a "Self working Card trick? This is a trick that does not depend upon special abilities of the magician, but a trick that automatically works because of the mathematics inherent in the card deck itself. Long prectice and super normal dexterity are not needed to preform these tricks, yet they are often among the most entertaining and most spectactular of all card tricks.
These tricks will have you looking like a seasoned professional in no time.
