After seeing Coperfield on stage I was very intrigued of all he did. I knew he is only human and he must have done all those things through skill, knowledge and gimicks of some sort. Therefore I started a quest to find the answer to some of his secrets.
My first stop was obviously the internet and it took me a few full days until I found something relevant to my searches (nowadays it's a lot easier to find magic related info due to Blaine's & Angel's popularity). Anyhow, I found an online magic store from where I rodered my first tricks. These 2 were the tricks that launched me into the world of magic, the world of secrets and entertainment. I would recommend them to anyone.
What were the magic tricks? Well, the first one was the "flying card". It has many names, but basically it is a gimmick that allows you to float playing cards around you, lift credit card or pull paper napkins towards you. It was and still is a very good trick and not very hard to master.
The second trick was a very well chosen one because it revealed to me how many other card tricks are made. It was called the invisible deck. The effect is that you have an entire deck full of blank cards (back & front) and all of a sudden, whenever you want to, you can make a card appear in the entire blank deck. Not only that but by the end of your performance you can turn the entire blank deck into a normal one.
Anyhow, these tricks are not that expensive and I recommend them to anyone who whants to learn a little bit of magic.
