On this channel we are doing card sleights and card tricks. I’m kicking things off by going through the classic book “The Royal Road to Card Magic” by Jean Hugard and Frederick Braué, which is the ideal place to start your card magic journey. Please let me know in the comments what you'd like to see on the channel. I’m just starting out, which means you have a big say in the direction of the channel! See this as a community where you can contribute by sharing your ideas and thoughts!

I've been performing professionally for many, many years. And I just learned some really cool stuff from you. It's amazing that you don't have thousands of views. Really good stuff.

I have recently read the chapter on false cuts and shuffles in the book. However with your excellent tutorial and dexterity it has reinforced my determination to get more proficient with sleights. Also a performers technique and unique style (eg chatting, joking misdirection) takes the spectators mind and view away from the sleights. As you indicate with the title of the video false cuts and shuffles, all magicians should know these techniques and practice them. With your tutorial this helps a beginner like me so much. Thanks

So grateful for these tutorials! Love the Royal Road which gives excellent descriptions but it’s so helpful to see these enacted. 🙏🏻

I'm a big fan of false shuffles and cuts. This was very good, some of them I use to this day. Keep up the good work my friend.

I the most interesting one is the Haymow Shuffle!! It’s just fun to do I feel like.
Nice tutorials mate!!

This is great stuff to learn. I thought it would be helpful to see it done a bit slower if possible. I used the speed adjustment in settings to get a better look. Thanks!

I use the optical shuffle and Ose cut all the time. I false shuffle all the time... I have no need for a shuffled deck. If I want the spectator to shuffle, I will let them mix the cards, but every time I 'shuffle', it's a false one.
