Sleight or staged?

I came across this clip on Instagram a few days ago and have been trying to figure out how he did it ever since.

In the linked video the magician places a random card in the spectator’s hands, and then proceeds to reveal that the card has “changed” into the spectator’s chosen card.

Typically I would show the card and then do a double lift/top change. I’d say second dealing would work too. But all these techniques would require the magician to conceal the card after showing it. Here he shows the card right before placing it in the spectator’s palm - so when and how did he perform the change?

Card box gimmick

I want to learn the trick Weighing the Cards by juan tamariz from his book Mnemonica. In page 199 is this explained:

,,Since you have previously prepared the card case by breaking its bottom left edge, near the flap, you can easily glimpse the index of the bottom card by pulling down slightly with your left thumb, and thereby determine the number of cards cut.‘‘

I don‘t really understand how it should look like and ask chatgpt but i don‘t think it is the right answer.

Can someone explain me this?

Need help figuring this trick out

So I just can't figure this out. Normally I get pretty far, but this is just too clean. Might be a gimmick deck though, but if anyone knows this variation of the four of a kind trick, a tutorial video or book or anything would be much appreciated. This is the video:

Has anyone seen this false cut before?

I came up with this false cut as a kid. Basically the start of a swing cut combined with the end of an overhand cut. Because I wanted a false cut that I could do standing that didn’t look fancy.

And I still use it.

I can’t imagine I’m the only person to have ever come up with this. Yet I don’t think I’ve ever seen it.

Has anyone ever seen this or done the same thing?

What are the best books / vids to get more advanced

So I've been doing card magic for a while now, and I feel like I've run out of tricks to do and how to make my current trickset better. I'd say I'm around intermediate to advanced. If I go to a YouTube channel, for example, A million card tricks, I would go to the videos that say advanced. What would be good sources to get better at magic, not just tricks, but also misdirection and storytelling?

Ben earl - unreal card magic. Is it worth it?

I'm a very visual learner, really not good at learning from books. I'm not sure why either, but I've always been like it 🤷🏽‍♂️

Wondering if anybody knows if this course would be worth it. My position is that i consider myself 'alright' at magic. My technique and sleights are good enough to fool people, and I'm working on confidence in performing.

Has anyone bought this course? Or knows anything about it?

Would you recommend it? I'm skeptical of courses in the big 2026 because, well, everybody seems to be selling a course or some sort

what is the most natural looking double?

hi guys. kind of a beginner here. i've been practicing card magic for about two months now, and i want to keep practicing the most 'natural' double lift.

when performing, i just do strikes doubles but i got caught up like three days ago. so now im kind of traumatized. i believe i looked at the cards by some reason and that brought the attention to my hands, plus i got nervous and probably miss it up.

that situation made me rethink doubles. now im just trying to work on the most natural looking which i believe is the push off double. but im not sure, and thats the reason behind this post.

(english ain't my first language, i'd also appreciate if you guys tell me if i wrote something wrong 😅)

Quickest way to go into Red/black alternating order from a shuffled deck?

I'm looking for the fastest/most efficient way to set up alternating black/red cards from a shuffled deck.

My first guess was to use a stripper deck but I'm also interested in methods for ungimmicked decks
