Hey guys, im new here, so if this is the wrong place to post this, please tell me right away and ill delete my post...

Anyway.. Im having trouble with my card to pocket trick... I only have one method of getting the card into my pocket and the spectators can easily spot how... (out of my 13 performances of this trick, 7 people have seen me do it).. Any suggestions on other types of method to get a chosen, signed card into a pocket? And if its ok, can you suggest methods on how to put the chosen/signed card in the SPECTATORS pocket?? Much appreciatied...

Thanks

Have a look in Royal Road to Card Magic, I'm pretty sure there's a method in there.

maybe if you told us which version of the trick you're doing we could then suggest an alternative.
I'm going to suggest Pot Of Jam again, there's a nice card to pocket bit on that.

I second the still fancy a pot of jam recommendation. I'm loving that DVD at the minute, it has a great card to pocket and card to spec's pocket. Also a deck vanish that ends up in your pocket.

Here's the answers/advice:

1. Buy a decent card magic text book
2. Buy a decent card magic DVD which outlines the effect
3. Spend less time gathering statistical information (such as 7 times out of 33) about effects and perform better
4. Please don't ask us to give you suggestions on routines. It's not going to happen.

still fancy a pot of jam.. definately.

Card college £125, a nice easy version in there too

I say go with Royal Road to Card Magic and find what you're looking for in there. I haven't read/watched Pot of Jam, though, so that could be a better source.

Thanks for the replies!
