Rough and Smooth Principle Card Magic: Rough Smooth Decks
Unlock the Power of Card Magic's Most Amazing Principle
From Dai Vernon's legendary Brainwave Deck to the ever popular Invisible Deck, the Rough and Smooth principle is one of the most powerful and versatile secrets in card magic. This time-tested method allows two cards to stick together seamlessly until you need to separate them — enabling astonishing reveals, impossible predictions, and clean vanishes — miracles that simply aren’t possible (as cleanly) with sleight of hand alone. Whether you're a hobbyist or seasoned performer, understanding how to apply this principle can elevate your card magic to a new level.
At Trickshop.com, our line of PDFs cover everything you need to know to tap the true potential of Rough and Smooth card magic. You'll learn how and where to buy the right roughing materials — including roughing fluid, sprays, and roughing sticks — and how to apply them correctly for consistent, high-performance results. You'll also discover how different application methods and coverage yield different results. Trevor Hall also explains how to slick card surfaces (in "Nothing is Impossible), something of a lost art these days. These variations are explained in detail in our publications, along with expert insight from the field's pioneers, men like Ralph Hull, Joe Berg, Trevor Hall, Aldini, Tan Hock Chuan, and others. If you're ready to explore one of card magic’s most amazing and useful principles, these Trickshop PDFs are a must-have for your magic library.
