I have just re-introduced myself but to cut a long story short I need to shop!

I need to replace some basics that have been damaged in my recent move and I am looking for some short, simple card tricks to get me back in the swing of things. So whats new and works well? Something along the lines of the classic 3 colour monte or The Web which was an old favourite of mine which I still love and do.

Anyone got any UK internet based shops they want to suggest as well? 2 I use to use seem to have vanished!

I have moved away from 'normal' magic but i still keep my toe in the water. Garrett Thomas' “Stand-Up Monte” is very good and something i highly recommend.

Thanks Stephen, just looked at your link in your signature, very cool. Not something I have ever fancied trying dipped in to the mental field for a bit but I found it hard, interesting but hard and at the time didnt have the time to spend on it.

Stand-up monte is going on my list

Hi Alex,

I'm currently watching Card Startlers by Paul Gordon and can recommend it. Plenty of solid tricks ranging from pretty simple to those requiring a bit more work but they are mostly pretty short effects with just a standard pack.

Shaun.
