Does anyone know how to do the card thru window trick? I really want to know!

Throw hard enough and it'll pass through the glass *

On the plus side you do achieve the bonus effect of window through windowframe

And, if your timing and angles are good enough, the much wanted "angry look to building owner" effect

One of the fundamental rules of TM is that we don't divulge how to do effects so please don't ask.

Matt...
...the answer is simple, but not easy (oh, by the way, this is a serious answer ).

You start off with a book about card magic (or general magic if you don't intend to specialise) and start learning. Practice a lot and then practice some more.

After you have learned and performed a few of the classic tricks and understand the basic principles of card magic (or general magic) you'll be on the way to being in a position to understand the card through window effect.


If, on the other hand, you've seen it done and just want to know how... personally I suggest you don't learn how magic is performed. Trust me, once you get into learning the "how" of magic, the joy of watching it performed changes dramatically. You'll go from the pure "wow" and enjoyment of a spectator to a more technical appreciation which isn't for most people.

Either way, best of luck (and like Mandrake said, methods to tricks aren't given out on here).
