Any tutorials?

Wides · 14th August 2008, 12:03 AM

I think i can pull off a lot of card tricks, and what not. The only problem is that i can't really find any educational. Something that I can practice in front of a mirror, or something. I'd rather come up with my own, but i don't have the base skills.

So any ideas where to look?

Stop practicing card tricks and start practicing sleights. Do those in front of a mirror, and when you have them down, then move on to particular effects.

What Garrette said.

Basic skills through to card genius can be learnt from:

Royal Road to Card Magic by Jean Hugard or Card College by Roberto Giobbi.

If you prefer videos to books then maybe Royal Road to Card Magic by R. Paul Wilson.
