If you’re new to magic then you might have a hard time navigating through all of the information.

Here’s a starting guide to help you on your path to becoming a great magician!

Step 1.) Get a Good Pack of Cards

Paper cards are best. Bicycle cards are a great place to start because they are good quality and cheap. You can most likely find them at your local store or you can click here to get the even higher quality Gold Label Bicycle Deck.

Step 2.) Start Learning

Check out the Tutorial Library for instructional videos on card tricks, sleight of hand, and flourishing. Start with the basics; learn how to shuffle and spread the cards out. Then learn a self-working trick (here’s a neat one) and try performing it on a few people. Now it’s time to get serious and learn some smooth sleight of hand. Once you have your moves down you will be ready to perform some incredible miracles with a pack of cards.
