Hi!

I'm Joonas, 18, from Estonia and I've just taken up card magic.

Since I'm totally new at this, I don't even know any cool sleight of hand tricks yet, just a bunch of self-working ones. Thought this would be a good place to start learning.

That's it, I guess :)

Hi and welcome to TM :wink:

QUESTION:
If we can sue McDonalds for making us fat and cigarette companies for giving us cancer; why can't we sue Smirnoff for all the ugly gits we've sh*gged ??

Hi and welcome to TM.

See if you can get yourself a copy of Royal Road to Card Magic, a very good place to start off.

Those will do very nicely while you build up confidence and concentrate on presentation. Add some basic card sleights later on to vary your act and possibly some non card stuff and you'll do fine. Welcome to TM!

Hey bro! I'm the same as you, all for the cards. I've mastered my general slight of hand pretty well, so if you want pointers you're more than welcome to pm me! Also, for a nice 99% selfworking trick, with more amazing reactions than some with LOADS of soh, try the ID. Great trick. Requires almost no soh.

Welcome!
