That not so expensive to ?? well, that's a stupid question relly but plz help me out im noob

i always say this but.... I really think you should start with a book. Maybe the Royal road to card magic or Mark Wilson's complete course in magic.

beat me to it

but to answer the question the effects you mentioned are more or less the same - but dont bother, grab a good book - you'l save yaself heaps of cash

Okey so in the book im will learn how to levitate cards and the ufo/Hummer etc. thing ??

No, but they will give you a good grounding in the basics of card magic so that when someone hands you a pack of cards and you don't have your gaffs and gimmicks you will actually be able to do some magic nonetheless, like a real magician would be able to.

Okey but is it better to buy the book AND the hummer thing ?? And do i learn how to float cards/hover cards and like bills and stuff like that in the hummer thing ? or just card i the air and spins around ?

Well it seems to me like you have no interest in magic and just an interest in a trick. If thats the case, hop on over to magictricks.co.uk and buy the hummer card. If you actually have an interest in magic, dont waste your time or your money on the hummer card.. I made that mistake. Spend it on the Royal Road to Card Magic books or dvd (I cant personally comment on this as I dont have it.. but everyone goes on and on and ON about it so it must be good ) or another I would recommend is Oz Pearlmans "Born To Perform Card Magic" DVD from penguinmagic.com. I got this through last week and found it to be quite a good DVD for a beginner.

Okey i think i buy the book then the card (?)

Well, you can do what/it how you want, but if you are a relative beginner to card magic then it is recommended as then you won't be this guy who can do one really cool effect under the right circumstances, you will be on your way to actually being a magician who can entertain at virtually the drop of a hat.

Is there a thread holding on to it ? like the *** ?

People will not reveal answers on TM, because this is an open forum, the public can read them. Exposing methods is not good as it spoils it for others. Welcome To TM by the way

Erikthe182, you seem a bit TOO eager to perform this effect. Do you actually want to be a magician or do you just want a few little party tricks?

No no no i relly want to learn how to do magic but i want to start with these tricks u see

let me tell you how i started (and i am a professional Magician). I started with 2 decks of Bicycle cards, the royal road to card magic book, modern coin magic by BOBO and some sponge balls, i also had Mark Wilson's complete course in magic. Lots of great stuff to last you ages.

Yeah of course there is some relly good beginner stuff but i dont have so much money so i wanna spent it on something thats relly cool and stuff like that... And i think that card magic like: "Is this your card?" "Yes" is relly lame
