So to save typing and reposting please read and get back to me: http://www.themagiccafe.com/forums/viewt......=2&0 Jim "Challenge yourself to come up with your own material, rather than buying into the idea that you have to do the same thing that everyone else is doing to be a good magician."

I think most are pure sleight of hand but I'm sure there'll be some gimmicked methods out there. The places I know you can learn from are: Jeff Sheridans videos (can't remember an exact name but look pretty good) and Also Jeff McBrides Art of Card Manipulation teachs productions. There are many other sources but I think these are the most popular.
