    the ball trick is pretty obvious... easy enough to work out for anyone.

    the card stuff-- no idea... i never learned that one. but it might be specially-designed cards that telescope out of that same hand reservoir. which makes sense, since he empties them out at the beginning to make room for the salt / liquid stuff that comes after.
    the card tricks arent that impressive.

    the coughing up the card one is quite simple to do and you can see him palm the cards as soon as he put the initial deck which is bigger than a normal deck. The flipping the cards out one at a time, you kinda just hide the cards in between your finger cracks but takes practice to pull it off smoothly.

    Most of the stuff he does is in terms of a professional magician, amateur...

    sorry about that, but i hadn't made any queries and you sounded pretty dismissive of his talents. yea, i was annoyed.

    not to mention, when i want to learn how that card trick is done i can spend the time working it out myself and then confirm / get corrected by some experts. for now i'm just enjoying the fact that he's fooling me so deftly.

    but my browser tab says shawn farquhar, and i think you mean the one where he put the signed card in to a fresh deck?

    i do remember that one. okay, notice that he opens both sealed decks himself? that definitely helps sell the trick, is what i will say.
