Hello and welcome!
There is a helluva lot of card magic which can be done without gimmick decks you know.
Buy some books and DVDs and you'll be performing some amazing magic in no time!

Good luck! Image

Hi and welcome to TM 8)

Mentalism isn't the way to go on the basis that you have had a few specs ask to shuffle your decks.

Get some good books, some regular decks of cards and then read and practice until you're perfect. We all start off in a similar manner to yourself so don't let it put you off.

Good luck

Hiya, welcome to TM.

Try grabbing yourself a copy of Mark Wilson's Complete Course or Royal Road to Card Magic, both will teach you plenty of tricks that dont rely on a trick or stacked deck.
