[Street Magic] Challenge 1 - Together, We'll Go Far
⚠️ This challenge is part of the Street Magic course ; only complete it if you're a student. Goals for this challenge: Introduce yourself to your fellow magicians. Tell us your goal for this course. Example: Hi, I'm Julio Ribera! I'm a magician from Valencia, Spain. I'm 25 years old (and I turn another year older on February 27th) and I've been involved in magic for over a decade. One of the things that inspired me most when I started was discovering David Blaine's TV specials where he performed street magic. I'd watch the recordings over and over until I figured out the secret to his tricks. Obviously, I don't recommend doing that because it takes a lot longer and you learn the techniques incorrectly (it took me a long time to correct them later 😂). Since then, street magic and card magic have become my two biggest passions. MY GOAL WITH THIS COURSE: I want to build a repertoire of magic tricks that allows me to always be ready to create moments of wonder anywhere, anytime, even if I don't have a deck of cards on me. Now it's your turn! Reply to this post with your introduction and course goal.

I've Created a Magic App
Hey everyone, I'm riicks, and I'm a beginner in card magic (I've been at it for about a year). Since I've learned a lot of sleights, sometimes I wish I had them all well-organized in one place where I could quickly access them. And since I also know a bit about programming, I came up with the idea of making an app. This app has the following sections: My Tricks (where you jot down the effects you know, classify them by difficulty and how much practice you've put in, and add your patter), Sleights (where you list the sleights you know and the ones you want to learn), a section for different types of decks, a logbook to record your practice sessions and performances, an 'Ideas' section where you can store ideas, patter, and routines. Another section is dedicated to organizing your patter and routines for stage performances (where you can note the duration, what you'll be doing, and the date), and finally, a section that helps you create and practice a Stebbins stack. The app doesn't ask for personal data, doesn't require internet access, and has no ads. It's designed so that if you switch devices, you can create a file with all the info you had saved on your previous device, open that file in the new app, and have all your stuff. (It's worth mentioning that the app doesn't reveal any magic secrets whatsoever; it just helps you organize the sleights you know and the tricks and effects you want to learn…) Right now, it has a few minor bugs that don't affect the app's core functionality, but they do impact the user experience and overall convenience. Also, for now, I'm the only one who has it on my phone. The plan is to eventually upload it to the Play Store so other magicians can have an easy and fast way to organize all their repertoire and knowledge on their phones. I still need to make some improvements to the app, and that's where I thought maybe this community of magicians could give me some advice on what features to add, which ones might not make much sense, or just tell me what you think about the app. Sorry for the super long post, everyone. Huge thanks to all of you!!

Marked Decks
Hey again! 😅 I've been looking at marked decks, and my first thought was the Phoenix Marked Deck , because even though I've never owned one, it's the most well-known. However, recently, the " My power Deck " came out, a gimmick Bicycle deck. If any of you have either of them, I'd appreciate any advice or opinions. Thanks!!

Looking to Get Into Magic
Hey everyone, my name is Alex and I'm just starting out in the world of magic. My knowledge is pretty basic, and I'd love to learn the ropes and how to put together routines in general. My main interests are card magic, coin magic and magic with everyday objects, and I'd also like to delve into digital magic. I'm totally open to feedback, tips, and any help from the community to improve. Thanks a ton to anyone who reads this, and cheers!

Loops and Hand Contrast
Hey everyone! Today I was practicing with my loops , and after looking in the mirror, I noticed that they stand out quite a bit against my hand. I don't know if it's just me being paranoid or if it's real, but I have a feeling they're visible. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!! 😁

Mentalism for a Show with 20 People
Hey, I need someone to teach me a mentalism routine that's like "You'll do exactly what I want without even realizing it" and some comedic bits.

Anyone have any info on cold reading?
I've done some research in the books I have, but I'd love to go into more detail.

Mentalism Gimmick
The other day I saw an interview where RickyEdit was saying there's a gimmick that lets you have, for example, four names, and the first letter of each of those four names spells out a word you've chosen. I'm not sure if I explained that well, I hope so. Does anyone know what it's called?

Card Sharp, Magician, and Mentalism
Can anyone give me some ideas for presenting the effect performed by Adrián Vargas on Got Talent? It's done with an Al-Koran deck.

RENE LAVAND on Cordialmente -'82-
Really interesting. It's not just for the magic he performs ( and that's great too ), but for everything he talks about.

I saw this trick (https://www.instagram.com/reel/DP-M78MDQ7t/?igsh=MWRpYzlxOTIyd2E2bw==) on Instagram and it completely blew my mind! Does anyone know how it's done, or if it's even possible?
Thanks.

En una de las rutinas que hace Julio en el curso de street magic, hace el tipico juego de la baraja de firmas (donde un espectador coge una carta que resulta estar firmada por un famoso como todas las demás y una predicción adivina por que persona esta firmada la carta) pero en digital.
El tiene una lista en un bloque de notas con 100 famosos numerados del 1 al 100. el escribe una predicción y le pide al espectador que diga un numero, la predicción que escribe antes es el nombre del famoso que hay en ese numero.
Yo intenté recrear una app que funciona con el api de google que capta la voz, però no me salió. Alguien sabe como se llama la app que usa o como recrear ese juego??

A short popped up on my feed from a RickyEdit live stream where he was doing a trick with a ring, and I'd love to know what the effect is called, please.

It's from 29:30 to 31:00. I was totally blown away, but I'm not sure if I buy it, because it could be a pre-taped video.
