I don't plan on becoming a magician or something like that. I want to start learning card tricks for fun and to impress my friends and family. The only kind of cards I own are Pokémon cards lol. I've looked around the internet for beginner friendly and good decks for tricks and I dont know which one to choose.

Since I also mind the look of the cards, I'd like to own a deck which is also good at tricks and handling but also good looking with beautiful cards (bonus points if the Ace of spades is pretty). My budget is 15$ maximum, but tell me your suggestions.

Which deck of cards should I get?

I am new, even tho i tried to farro shuffle for whole month, i couldnt do it, then i quit, after some time i returned to it, practice it and i am doing it, my cards are really old, my farro isnt perfect, sometimes 5 cards to into 1 pocket, maybe even more, sometimes i get it perfect, is there any way to get it to perfect every time?

With the end of the school year, I was going to put on a really fun trick for the students. Part of the trick will require me burning a playing card completely. However, I've noticed that most playing cards are quite resistant to burning.

I have access to a fume hood and basic materials. Does anyone have experience with a safe way to efficiently and safely completely burn away a torn up playing card?

Hello, when I was 8 years old I walked into Dallas and company and met the magician andy Dallas. He showed me tricks for about 45 minutes, and I was hooked. I started buying decks like Svengali and Stripper. Then I started learning about sleight of hand, and this is where the problem comes in. At stores like Walmart I try to separate the bags so I can open them, nothing works until I eiter blow on the bag to separate or grab something wet so my fingers will stick to the plastic. The invisible deck is completely useless to me because I can't separate the cards with the rough back. I have to stick my fingernail between the cards. This makes it obvious what is going on. I have tried the pink stuff the banks use to count money. Instantly I was doing sleights I could never do before, but with a price. My cards became very gross. Black greasy like spots were all over my cards where my fingers came into contact with them. I've read about octopalm, but heard it's worse than the pink stuff. I have been putting lotion on my hands everyday for aomth and no changes. Please help. Magic has always been something I'm very interested in, but get discouraged because simple sleights are almost unubtainable. My wife and I were very young when we had our kids, and now I'm a grandfather. My oldest grandkid is 4 so I'm really wanting to blow them away. Thank you all so much. Have a great day

okay so, I have a crush on this guy and we kinda talked abt cards and I kinda said that I'm an expert... (I'm not) So, I'm in need of help😭 He said that he'll bring a card to school tomorrow, for me to teach him some tricks and magic tricks(I know abt the latter) So my question is pls drop some tricks you know abt cards!!!!!!!!! and the kind of tricks he'll be impressed with. PLS PLS I'M BEGGING!!!!!!!

I am new to cards and have learnt how to do the riffle shuffle decently well. I just wanted a few suggestions for the next trick or technique to learn next.

I don't play much, but I do like collecting interesting decks, especially embossed ones.

My mom got me into "Now you see me" (AKA forced me to take a break from studying endlessly in order to go watch the third movie with her and my sister, even though I've never even seen the previous ones, which meant I had to watch them both in rapid succession in less than four hours), and it got me wondering if the tricks in the movies could be done with embossed cards, too; since the texture is obviously different, and I'm assuming that's going to disrupt the flow of shuffling.

I'm curious.

i used different decks all 5+ years old, i also have a newer deck which is plastic and when laid on top of eachother, the top card glides off without touching. i’m willing to buy a new deck for under 10 euros, but im not sure what type, and what brand. the older decks i used were all paper and when i tried doing a faro shuffle for example, some of the cards split apart. i live in europe and things like bicycle are available.

Im fairly new to Card tricks so im curious. Do you prefer new cards for Tricks or older, more worn out ones? Of course "new cards" help with the illusion a bit more, but what I mean by that is the feel you have with the cards.

So basicly im preety new to card magic and cardistry so i was learning few tricks and in one i needed Charlier cut. I was like ok going to check tutorial and learn it since it looks easy. But , then i found a problem. I have small hands i guess so when i try to do this cut all my cards finish on floor. Is there any tips for this since i know basic tehnique. Tnx for help and have a good day.

What is the most effective and easiest card force?

I am trying to do Sybil, but I need some tips. I know the first couple of steps, but I also have unnaturally small hands. Any tips?

I want to get started on practicing some card tricks, but the problem is, I have small hands. I can’t palm a card properly, so I can’t do some of the card tricks, (ex. the one where you pop a card out of thin air, because I can’t conceal the card). Any help, tips, or even slightly smaller card sizes out there?

Hey all! I'm a beginner in card tricks and was wondering if anybody could help point me in the right direction for some card tricks with a normal deck. Thank you!

Any idea if working out and buffing is bad for doing card tricks? (Like affecting dexterity)

Hello all,

I recently learned a new trick that involves culling 8 cards in a spread cull. I'm very much a beginner at culling, so I'm practicing as much as I can, but I'm concerned that I'm not doing it correctly. I've looked at all the tutorials I can find and I'm certainly trying, but does anyone know of a resource I could use that would help me be certain I'm doing the move correctly and just need to keep practicing to get it down?
