Flash Cards

I saw these the other day and it sounds like quite a dramatic finish to a card routine. It does what it says on the tin – so you can paste one of these to the front of a normal Bicycle Card for a dramatic visual transformation. Supplied by Illusioncraft

‘Laypeople’ and Card Magic

I was at a wedding recently where a magician was performing at the tables during the evening. (It’s always hard to know how to react in that situation when you know exactly how he does all his magic, isn’t it?) Anyway, I was chatting to my neighbour afterwards about magic, and she talked about seeing [...]

Bicycle Cards Tip

I will write this in shorthand since Magicians should understand! You may have noticed that not every pack of Bicycle Cards are perfectly cut with the result that they sometimes have uneven borders (presumably one of the selling points for the Masters Edition cards – although this sounds very Microsoft to me – turning a [...]
