hey folks,
i was just wondering how someone new to magic learns how to do magic.
i bought one or two books that show how to do easy tricks, but most of them assume you know what certain techniques are. such as the "Elmsey Count". where can i find out how to do some of these techniques. Are you guys allowed to tell me how to do an Elmsey Count?
its not really a trick, its more a manuever which you need to know to be able to perform tricks. i think it would be a great help to beginners if these fundamentals were explained, as you're not going to impress anyone by "palming" a card or performing a "pinky break". its how you use these techniques and manuevers, thats where the magic comes in.
so please i beg you. explain to me please what the Elmsey Count is and how to do it.
it would really help me alot.
thank you
