While I'm far from the best at palming, I wanted to share some of my favorite palm steals.

I’m looking to get a cool looking new deck that also provides a design that makes sleights harder to see. Anyone have any good recco’s?
Thinking about pulling the trigger on the first volume of these.
How difficult is the material in it?
Perhaps ignoring controls since most things involve controlling a card to somewhere. If you could only know and perform one sleight for the rest of your days, what is it?
I think the double lift might be an efficient if 'boring' one
Hi guys i just want to know how can I learn raise rise. Someone wrote that it hasnt tutorial in the internet can someone help me
Curious as to how everyone reads thier magic books.
Are you a physical book type or an Ebook type?
Has anyone used a magic audio book?
Do you only read books with tricks or do you read biographies and theory type magic books also?

I’m trying to remember the name of a card trick I learned from maybe 15+ years ago.
The routine used a normal deck, no duplicates or gimmicks.
Two spectators each select a card, and neither spectator sees the other person’s selection. Both cards are lost back into the deck.
The magician says they can identify the cards by looking for fingerprints on the backs of the cards, so the deck is spread face down. The magician pretends to inspect the backs of the cards for fingerprints, then finds Spectator 1’s card. Spectator 1 confirms it.
Then the magician secretly switches that found card for Spectator 2’s card and places it face down on the table, making everyone believe the face-down card is Spectator 1’s card.
After that, the magician spreads the deck face down again and gives Spectator 2 the face-down tabled card to hold, using it like a “magic wand” or pointer. Spectator 2 is told to point to any card in the spread, and that card will supposedly be their selection.
They point to a card, but it’s wrong. Then the magician asks something like, “Wait, what card have you been holding this whole time?” Spectator 2 turns over the face-down card and it’s revealed to be their own selected card.
Does anyone know the name of this routine or where it comes from? It feels like a full routine, not just a top change demo.
I think this is in Volume 1. At least almost sure.
If its not in Volume 1, I'm sure it's in Volume 2, or is it Volume II?
Just buy anything that has Roy Walton on it, you cant go wrong. Unless, you already own it, then that would be a mistake. So be sure you keep a running list of all the Walton items you own so you avoid this embarassing faux pas. Once I had two copies of Volume 2 and none of Volume 3 and many of my magician friends questioned my ability to count.
Also, we are talking about Roy Walton the Magician, not Roy Walton the character on the television series Chicago PD.
Hey all, newer to the game here and had a question. When you have a card chosen and cut the deck to have the spectator place it back in the middle of the deck, what is your move to get that card to the top of the deck? Currently I pinky break it and then take small packets off the top and cut them down and stack them until I get to the break and then drop the rest of the deck on top. From there I’ll shuffle it to the bottom if needed. But my pass is not passable right now so I don’t have another move to start the trick and get the chosen card on top. Are there other methods you go to?
