This is in-depth structured course for learning the foundations of sleight of hand card magic. I have been studying the craft for the last 12 years and this course includes the strongest and most practical card magic that I have come across. The goal of this course is to be easily approachable for complete beginners, and also provide value for experienced magicians.

Chapter 1 - Basic Card Handling Skills

When learning a new skill it is common for people to jump ahead of themselves and attempt to learn very complicated and advanced stuff before mastering the basics. Why? Because we are impatient and lack the foresight to take baby steps towards an end goal. Do yourself a favor and LEARN THE BASICS FIRST. This will prevent you from picking up any bad habits, and will help attain the level of skill you want more quickly and effectively.

Chapter 2 - Sleight of Hand Technique

This is where the hours and hours of practice come into play. Some of the strongest card magic uses secret moves or "sleights" that your audience should never see. There are thousands of sleights out there, but only a handful of them that you need to know how to do to be a great magician. I'll show you what you should concentrate most of your time on practicing.

Chapter 3 - Flourishes

Card flourishes are fancy moves that are extremely impressive and demonstrate a high level of skill. These moves range from multi-packet cuts, fanning, springing, and other visual displays. Flourishing is not directly related to magic, however it can be used lure your audience in and help establish some credibility.

Chapter 4 - Routines

It's miracle time. I'll teach you how to put it all together to create effects and tricks that will amaze people. These pieces of magic have been hand selected by me and are the routines that I personally use on a regular basis. All of the material is strong, practical, and tested.
