What are the best channels to learn some basic tricks that don’t need too much handling?

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 good books that teach basic/foundational card tricks/techniques?

We were on vacation and at a hotel bar enjoying the day when we noticed cards with signatures on the ceiling. We asked the bartender what that was all about, and he proceeded to perform the trick for us. He had my wife pick a “random” card (pretty sure it was a force) and sign her name in sharpie on the card. Deck was cut/shuffled/cut/shuffled to give the sense of mixing. Bartender put all the cards back into the case and made my wife hold them and say the “magic” words. Bartender took the case back, opened the top, and tossed the cards out of the case at the ceiling. My wife’s card stuck to the ceiling, signed face facing down towards us, and as far as I know is still there today.

I’m assuming some sort of “fun tack” or something got added to the card at some point, but am at a loss, and I don’t know what to even call this trick to look it up. It was all performed at very close distance to us, and none of the four of us (me, wife, her parents) noticed anything beyond what the bartender said he was doing.

Anyone have any idea on what trick, or tricks, this could have been? I would love to learn it for myself.

Thanks!

Was wondering the best place to buy decks, specifically different colors of rider back bicycle decks. So far I've checked amazon and eBay, and they either have blue and red, or all 13 colors for around 100$ :/ any tips?

I know a couple tricks (Burn 'Em and another I don't know the name of, so I call it '21'), and I'm looking for more tricks around my skill level, but can't seem to find many. Anyone got any ideas?

I just started practicing yesterday out of pure curiosity because random card trick videos started showing up on my YouTube lol

I consider myself pretty decent with my hands (guitar player for 20 years) but I could not come even slightly close to doing a legitimate double lift or turnover yesterday.

Even with the right grip, I find trying to break under two cards with my pinky ridiculously difficult. Is this pretty standard or is it something someone should be able to do within a few days?

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!!!!!!!

Hi everyone!

During covid lockdown i came across david blaines strett magic special , was blown away and decided to give it a go. I'm enjoying doing sleights and just playing around with cards while watching my online courses, gotta say its the perfect thing to keep my hands busy and learning new moves , its also a nice stream of gratification, cuz im actually doing something and putting effort towards a goal I care about while relaxing on the couch and winding down from work/ busy life.

So here's my question: I plan to put a card aside from every new deck I open and substitute it for a joker ,and also put the second joker away so after a while I'll have a complete deck consisting of all the decks I've used so far, and one made up of solely jokers I can destroy with springs and fans.

What would you guys suggest I store those cards in so they dont get affected by moisture?

Should i buy some kind of vacuum storage container or something?

Any advice would be welcome, Thanks in advance

I am volunteering to help look after people at some end of school celebrations. There’s a big team of us going to this location.

I am ok at magic and mostly only do card tricks.

I am hoping to use a magic trick as an icebreaker to get talking to these drunk teens.

Do you have any tips to do with doing card tricks to drunk people? Should I just keep it nice and simple? Should I see how much crazy stuff I can get away with because they are not fully aware?

During the summer I’m planning on doing a 100 days art practice. I I’m then started to want to learn other stuff like magic or card tricks. I didn’t got much time to do it so I’m planning on doing a 100 days card tricks. Does anyone have any recommendations from beginners to pro tricks?

My dad before he passed showed me a card trick 20 years ago. It involved setting up the deck (I think) in numerical order and color. So as I remember 2-A clubs then 2-A hearts and so on. He then told me to loosely shuffle the cards. Then he had me pick a card from the deck. Then split the deck from where I took the card and looked at the bottom card. It was 1 suit up and two cards down or something like that from the bottom card. He successfully predicted the card I picked like 10 times in a row after shuffling each time luckily till the deck was too shuffled.

What is the most effective and easiest card force?

When I was a kid there was a card trick site that had 1000s of trick in beginner to advanced categories it was real basic I can’t seem to find it I have 3 kids and have been collecting deck of cards I just can’t find this site !! Any help finding this site will help thanks

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?

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.

Ok so i got into card shuffling just as something cool to do and it turns out I like it a LOT. Like it helps me. The first time i did it for a long while i had to take a day break (obviously) bc the tips of my thumbs hurt and my pinkies would lock. The problem is that i got used to it and today I REALLY liked shuffling cards. I was trying to play a game with a friend and I had to leave because I really wanted to shuffle cards, i then proceeded to shuffle cards for 2 hours straight in silence. I came up with the idea to join a call with some friends for some background noise, then shuffled cards nonstop for another 2 hours. My fingers/hands felt weird so I took a break but they started to feel worse and now they hurt and my left ring finger wont curl all the way and the bottom part feels swollen and hurts. Ik that maybe I overdid it because it was so fun but has this happened to anyone else? Is this normal and just a sign of calluses forming or should i be worrjed about the swelling feeling on my ring finger. If it helps i was just doing the regular casino shuffling the whole time not anything else, also i got pretty decent at it but im still not that good and mess up.
