Sleightful7 NEW Ways To Mark Playing Cards | EXPLAINED (Magic Tutorial)
Biz from Big Blind Media presents a comprehensive tutorial exploring seven unique methods for marking playing cards, a technique used by magicians to subtly identify cards for magical effects. This video caters to magicians of all skill levels, offering practical techniques ranging from simple flicks to more intricate crimps. Biz emphasizes the ethical use of these markings for entertainment purposes and draws inspiration from legendary card mechanics like Ernes Richard Turner and Alan Kennedy. The tutorial is structured with clear timestamps, allowing viewers to easily navigate the various marking methods. The seven techniques covered include Nail Marking (Greater Magic Technique), Flick Marking, Edge Drag Marking, Corner Bend, Thumb Crimp, Dribble Bend, and a second Nail Marking method. Biz demonstrates two applications: an estimation trick where he cuts directly to a spectator's card and a simple direct cut routine. He encourages experimentation and creativity, referencing Derek Delia's *A Moral Man* as a valuable resource. The video is part of a larger series on card magic techniques, including palming, color changes, and card controls, and promotes the creator's FAM membership program for exclusive content and a free Magic Academy.
