Who's into card tricks?

I watch that dude's stuff all the time. I am absolutely intrigued in to how card tricks are designed.

But I can barely shuffle a deck myself, so maybe I am just easily amused

card tricks are cool but those mentalists really trip me out

Love them.

I love card tricks and I do not ever want to learn how they are done.

one of my favs

I get sleight of hand with tons of practice, but how do they do stuff like, “take your shoe off” and there is your card with your name on it? Gotta be a plant in the audience.

Accomplices and multiple decks are common for tricks. The ones I still don't understand is where the person signs the card with a sharpie making it unique, and then it ends up in a hidden place.

Close-up magic in general as fascinating AF to me… cards, coins, etc.

We went to a pretty awesome restaurant in Nashville recently called House of cards, you eat a delicious dinner and they have all these little one off close-up magic shows with amazing magicians, and then they have a theater at the end with a guy that does what they call parlor magic, not so much stage illusions, but it is not cards and coins close-up in your face either.

Not really into all the stage illusions because they clearly use props and you are so far from everything, it takes away from the “magic”…. Almost feels like any human being could do what they’re doing on stage, it is the prop or the equipment that is doing all of the magic, not the person

In regards to mentalists. Was just went to Vegas between Christmas and New Years. Went and saw Frederic Da Silva(sp?). His show was awesome, I highly recommend going and seeing him. After the show he does a meet and greet with anyone that wants to stay and meet. My family and I waited in line, and when we got to meet him, he asks my 12 yo daughter to think of a number between 1-100. As she is thinking of it, he has a sharpie and a mini poster of himself that he is going to sign. He asks if she has the number and she says yes. He writes something down on the poster, and then asks my daughter what the number was. She says "71." He turns the poster around and 71 was written on the poster. He then asks my son to think of a number, and my son says 65. The dude pulls a little post it note out of his pocket, unfolds it, and 65 is written on it. This was all within about 20-30 seconds. It blows my mind how he did it.

My favorite was the people that used to be wowed watching magic on tv lol

I knew he had a deck with all 2 of clubs. I’d say, he did all that with a normal deck, then spliced the video in of him with the full 2 of clubs deck flipping them over.
