Static marker

Hey everyone! I just got my 'Te Falta Calle' kit. Does anyone know what to do with the marker? I can't find any tutorials or anything for it. I thought, 'Okay, at least I can use it to sign cards,' but it's totally dry and won't write... If anyone can help me out, I'm really not sure what to do with the kit, I can't access any product tutorials, and I don't know how to use anything. Thanks so much for any help! Help!

Question about quality

Hey there! Quick question, is this deck good quality? It says it's from theory11, and I know they have other decks, but I'm not sure about the quality of this one. I also wanted to ask where you would buy it since Magia y cardistry doesn't carry it. Thanks!

iPhone Magic

Hey everyone! I was watching an interview Álvaro Cortés did with RickyEdit, and at the end of the video, Ricky performs an effect where the spectator focuses on an app, and then the app vanishes. I've linked the video below: Also, does anyone know where I can learn some mobile magic? I'm not looking for the typical calculator tricks, as they don't work on iOS18 anymore. Thanks!

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!!

An Interactive Show Featuring an Inmagic Effect

Hey everyone! Yesterday I got the opportunity of a lifetime to perform magic on a big stage. I'm trying my absolute best to make the show as interactive as possible with the audience. The I really liked. I'm guessing the trick is hidden behind . (When Inma places her phone face down and lets Gref touch the screen, ostensibly to pick random numbers.) It's important to note that the trick isn't the same as the calculator effect from the Street Magic kit, since the audience's phones obviously aren't gimmicked. What's happening at this moment? If someone could tell me... And if it's something more secret, please, DM me privately. Thanks a lot and good luck. Eloi Chalaux

Dealing with Call-Outs

Hey everyone, I know the title might not be super clear, but I had a question about what I should do when I'm doing a move like taking two cards as one, and a spectator says: "But you just took two cards." I'm not sure if I'm explaining myself clearly, but if anyone understands, could you please help me deal with this?

Differences Between Bicycle Decks

Hey there! I've already watched the first video in the "card magic - beginner level" module, and I still have some questions about Bicycle deck quality. For example, I have several standard Bicycle decks and one Supreme Line deck, both with red backs... and I've mixed some cards from different decks for a few tricks, and now I can't tell the standard ones from the Supreme Line apart to sort them out 😅 Is there any visible or tactile way to tell them apart? If not, what's their exact difference in terms of card magic use? And while I'm at it, I was hoping to ask the same thing about Bicycle Gold Seal decks, to see if I should pick up a few of those too and start learning to notice the differences in handling and other techniques. Thanks!

Rubber Band Magic - Rubber Band Durability

Hey there, everyone!!! Rubber band magic has always fascinated me. From Ben Salinas to Bacon Fire, I've always followed the evolution of this style of magic. It's incredible how versatile ordinary rubber bands are, and the multitude of effects you can perform with them. This year I've gotten back into coin magic ( which I was always terrible at and never dedicated the time it needed ) and also rubber band magic, which I had let slide a bit. But back to the bands... Rubber bands aren't expensive at all; they're very affordable. However, if you don't buy quality ones, they tend to break fairly quickly ( and sometimes even quality ones break anyway ). There's a way to extend their durability ( even if they're the cheap ones from the dollar store ) to unimaginable limits . And the method is "a bath" in . Simply choose a suitable container to store your bands and add a couple of tablespoons of zinc stearate . Close it, shake it, and you're good to go. I've been trying/using this method since the beginning of the year, and I haven't broken a single band since then ( they can break, but so far they haven't ). It extends their lifespan so much that you'll end up replacing them from overuse before they actually break. All the best and happy magic!!!

Hey, I'm Santiago!

Hi everyone, I'm Santiago, and I'm 13 years old. I got into magic this summer, in July, and it's really clicking for me thanks to the Magia y Cardistry channel and Julio Ribera. I watch all the tricks they put out, and I'm also going to buy the 'How to be a Magician 2.0' kit to help me learn new tricks and improve my magic. Julio, thanks for making it so easy to learn magic. I think you're a fantastic teacher!

52 to 1 deck

Hi there. I'm wondering if, with the 52 to 1 deck effect, you can initially show a completely normal deck spread on the table and then proceed with the effect, as shown in the effect's presentation video on Magia y Cardistry. If that involves a deck switch, I'd also like to know. Thanks!

Invisible Deck Trick

Hey everyone! I've just started getting into magic, and today I saw an effect where you ask a spectator to pick a card from an invisible deck, turn it over, and put it back in. Then, the magician pulls a real deck from their pocket, and the only face-up card is the one the spectator chose. Does anyone know where I can learn it, or what this effect is called?

Hey everyone,

I had up to Volume 4 of Gran Escuela Cartomagica. I just picked up Volume 5, but I haven't had a chance to read it yet.

Does anyone have any thoughts on Volume 5?

This trick they did for Shin Lim totally blew my mind🤯.

Basically: the spectator flips a card over, and on the phone, that's exactly the one shown turned over in the image.

Watch between 6:00 and 7:00:

Hey everyone!

I've recently decided to dive into rubber band magic, but I've noticed most bands aren't big enough – they really dig into my fingers. I've been checking Amazon, and it seems all the rubber bands larger than 70mm aren't colored.

Could you tell me which ones you guys buy?

Thanks!!!

Hey everyone, today I stumbled upon this video of the Out of This World trick. The only thing I can think of for separating the cards before the effect would be using a cull. In this version, I'm not sure what move they're using or if it's a gaffed deck. You can see the move during the cut, but I can't figure out how the cards are separated. Does anyone know the name of the technique or what book I can find it in? It seems like a very clean way to perform this trick.

The video:

After thinking about it and watching the video, the only thing I can come up with is that it might be like a Svengali deck, but instead of the cards being short along their length, the cards of one color are shorter along their width.

Okay, I think I just stumbled upon the answer by chance on TikTok, and I'd say it's a stripper deck.

Hey everyone,

My name is Carlos; my stage name is El Mago Tomate!!!!

I've loved magic since I was a kid, but I really got hooked a couple of years ago and started practicing different tricks and taking courses.

I love close-up magic, and I absolutely love seeing people's amazed faces when they watch me perform.

I hope to learn a lot in this magic club.

All the best.

I recently found out there are two main playing card sizes: poker size and bridge size. I've been practicing Cardistry moves with bridge-sized cards 🥲, but it seems poker size is the standard and what's used most often for quality decks. Am I right about that? Do you know if I'll have any trouble adapting to the new size, and if I'll be able to do all the moves without a problem with enough practice?
