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!

Card Palms
Hey everyone, can someone tell me how to do a bottom palm? I need it for a trick, and I've searched a bunch but haven't found anything useful. Any help would be great!

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!

Does anyone know what the Anti-Mnemonic is?

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?

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!

Brick-and-Mortar Magic Shops
I recently went to some magic shops in Madrid, but they were all closed. Can anyone recommend any? 👍

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?

Mobile Apps
Hey everyone, I'd love some recommendations for magic apps on Android. I'm looking for an effect I recently saw on YouTube – it's a notepad app with 100 words on a specific topic (like food, celebrities, objects, etc.), and you're able to divine their chosen word.

Magic Show
Hey everyone! I'm putting on a magic show for my uncle's 50th birthday at a venue. What do you recommend I do? I'm planning to open with the Siempre Seis. Thanks a lot!

Non-Card Magic Effects
Hey everyone! I'm putting together a magic show for kids who aren't toddlers, but not quite teenagers. Since about 90% of my repertoire is card magic, I'm at a loss for what to do with other objects—things that aren't cards. I'm looking for really impactful effects that don't involve cards. I considered buying the everyday object magic course (by Julio Ribera), but based on another magic show I saw recently, the magician wasn't really doing *organic* or *everyday object* magic; it seemed more like they were using a lot of Gimmicks and purchased Props for their effects, which I can't afford to buy a ton of stuff like that. As I mentioned in another thread, this is my first show, and I really want it to be a success. So, to summarize: Could anyone guide me on how to put together a show like the one below without buying a lot of expensive Gimmicks? Also, could anyone share ideas for effects with a similar impact to Sucker Punch and Double Cross? (Because those are incredibly good, and I'd love to achieve something similar without buying them outright.) Here's an example of the kind of show I'm aiming for: Thanks a lot, and see ya!

Light Bulb from the 'How to Be a Magician 2.0' Course
How does the light bulb that came with the course work? I've tried every way I can think of, but I can't get it to function.

Help me improve my technique, please!
Hey everyone, I'm just starting to work on this trick and I'm not getting it quite right. Could you help me improve my technique? This isn't spam, please don't ban me.

Magic for an "Event"
I've got a problem, let me give you some context. November 9th is the presentation for my basketball club, and the organizers asked me if I'd be up for doing some magic – basically, drawing a crowd and performing. The issue is, I have no idea what tricks I can do. Between players and parents, we're talking about 400 people, so I'm really stuck on what to perform. I really want to do this, because as a magician, it's a huge step to perform for so many people. But my problem is I just don't know what to do. Plus, it's in an arena, so I can't really set up for a full-blown show. It'd have to be card tricks or something simple. If anyone knows of any gimmicks, courses, tricks, or anything like that, please let me know! I'm even open to paid resources.

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?
Best,

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, does anyone here know any phone magic routines? I just saw this one in a videohttps://youtu.be/aR27KoygnVk?si=5UPBW4OS5No05RfH and I'm not sure what app was used. It's at 29:55. Thanks, everyone!

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, how's it going? As the title says, I've created a filter based on one Shin Lim had on Instagram.
Hope you like it! I've included a video below.

Hey everyone!
I've been doing magic for years, but I've recently started working with loops.
I'm not sure if it's just me, but I feel like they're pretty visible.
Can you offer any advice?
Thanks in advance!!

Hey everyone! Magician Torres came to my school this morning and performed a bunch of tricks (some really cool ones!). There's one in particular I'd love to know the name of and how it's done. It's an effect where you pick two volunteers and make them believe they're in separate 'rooms' or somehow connected, and they 'crank up their sensitivity dial' to max (that's the patter). Then he tells them that whenever they feel a touch, they should raise an arm. He only touches one volunteer several times, and she raises her left arm each time. But the other volunteer, who wasn't actually touched, also raises their arm at the exact same time, matching the first volunteer's actions every time the magician makes a touch.
Does anyone know what that trick is called?
And then he also does that thing where he says 'I touched you, how many times, where...' But he doesn't even get close to her (though I already have a pretty good idea how that one works).

Hey everyone,
Does anyone know of a book, publication, or shop where I can get a black art board, or instructions to build one?
@Julio Ribera covered this in his Top Secret course and said it was expensive to get, but didn't mention where. Does anyone happen to know?
Thanks,

This guy is incredible... for me, one of the best magicians I've ever seen... Any ideas what he might have done in this trick?

Hey everyone!
I've got a question for you all:
When I'm doing street magic, I usually link my Ambitious Card Routine with the French Kiss, but if I want to let spectators shuffle the deck before the Ambitious Card, I have to add the duplicates to the deck afterwards. What I do now is keep them in the card box, then put the deck away and bring it back out asking if they want to see another trick, but that method seems awkward and suspicious.
I guess the ideal way to add the gaffed card(s) would be to use a palm from the pocket, but I don't feel very confident with that technique, and I get the feeling it would be easy to get caught.
Could you guys share your methods and/or ideas on this??
Thanks so much!! 😋 😋
