I think you may wish to revise your introduction post somewhat.

This isn't a secrets forum and coming here asking for someone to send you videos on how to do sleights is not the right way of going about things.

Take a step back. Take a deep breath.
Then read the rules. And start again.


And hope that in the meantime someone with less patience than me doesn't come along... :evil:


If you want to learn some serious sleight of hand, start with a good book.

Ahoy and Welcome to TM.

Word of warning, this forum is not about revealing the secrets of magic or teaching it. It is about the discussion of magic and advice.

No one will provide you with tutorial videos but we can say that you could purchase yourself a copy of Royal Road To Card Magic which does contain the pass, or if you prefer dvds Born To Perform has very good reviews.

Not trying to sound harsh at all, i just know that some join here looking for the secrets and you will not get that here.

Ok. It seems like an honest mistake, so you may well be alright.
Point is, you still can't come here asking for free stuff :wink:

If you can't get on with books then I can recommend the 5 DVD Royal Road To Card Magic (apparently the 4 DVD version is atrocious) or as mentioned by Organi, the DVD Born To Perform is rated very highly.

I assume you want to get into card magic by your request for tutorial videos on the pass. If this is not the case then I will make further suggestions.

For now, those 2 DVD's should get you well on your way to becoming a magician.

No worries.

Out of interest which DVD did you pick?

By the way, if you stick around for a while, you'll soon see why I responded the way I did to your initial introduction.

The amount of "how do you do this trick??" we get around here is obscene.

Check The SinBin to see what I mean...

Oh. And welcome to TM :lol:
Enjoy your stay!

Welcome to Talk Magic! Your post reminds me of the new DVD coming out on Tuesday called 'The Art of Sleight of Hand.' You can check it out by CLICKING HERE.

Are you more into cards, coins, or no preference?
