Hey guys, I've started to type out a general encyclopidia of card magic terms for this very special disk I'm making. This is what I've come up with so far. Basically I'm trying to get to 101 terms and I'm at 99.

What am I missing? (Sorry mods if I took up to much space. Feel free to erase it if it becomes a problem)

You've got almost everything I can think of there - maybe something will come to me...

By the way, what's "Strattle Grip"? And what on earth is a "pib"?

EDIT: How about the slip cut and/or the Elmsley count?

Hhhmmm. here are probably nearer 1001 terms to be honest, possibly 10,001, maybe even 1000,001 -

but meanwhile here's a few more

Erdnase Colour Change
Elmsley Count
Hamman Count
Jordan Count

Illusionist

What's this got to the with cards?

Tilt??

Wow thanks guys, I've already added a few. And to answer your questions.

"Illusionist" What' this got to do with cards.

Well I wanted to add this as is does relate to the person performing. That's also why I had "Magician". They have slightly different definitions.

"Pib?"

A pib is the symbol that identifies a card's suit. It can be a Spade, Club, Heart, or Diamond. It is usually displayed in the top left and bottom right corner. If it is a number card like seven of clubs, then seven club symbols will cover the face of the card.

"Strattle Grip?"

This is the grip that is used in the Long Distance Spinner. It will problably be removed form my list.

"Hhhmmm. here are probably nearer 1001 terms to be honest, possibly 10,001, maybe even 1000,001"

Yes, but these are all names of moves and tricks. Yes, I did include many names, but most are very common, like "Mechanic's Grip" or "Faro Shuffle".

It's not a pip then?

Ah...and you probably mean straddle grip too.

Spelling is useful .

Kati

Opps!

Oh, what do you call someone who's your assitant that's planted in the audiance for a trick. If noone knows, I probably call it a "Crowdy".

It's a stooge
