Excellent stuff. Already knew about the pinky break, double undercut & overhand shuffle, but the
clarification of the 'milking action' with the three cards was a new addition. The Braue reversal &
pinky shot are new to me, and top-to-bottom double undercut was, as well. Eric's take kn the
fouble-lift is very clean. Then havng it all put together into a mini routine is the tasty icing on
this particular piece of (free!) cake!
Thanks for this freebie, Penguinos! I guess I'll
need to pick up a copy of that book...wait! What's that, right there on my bookshelf? (Sighs &
reaches for [as-yet-unperused] copy of Royal Road To Card Magic)
Time to study.

Alarmingly good. A very excellent primer with moves and then a routine and good tips throughout.
Really well done.

Erik is a great teacher! In this video Erik teaches his favorite card sleights. These card sleights
are easy enough for beginners and can provide a solid foundation in card handling. As he teaches
these sleights, Erik builds upon the beginners skills, culminating in a routine where 3 cards are
selected, lost in the deck and produced using a combination of these sleights. Erik gives you a
solid routine which you could use in your act.
Even if you think you have mad card skills,
Erik may give you a few tips and tricks you weren't aware of. Learn from a magician that has
competed in FISM against other top magicians in the world. Add this download to your cart today! You

Having been a hobbyist for over 50 years, it’s nice to go back to the very beginning. There is
always something new to learn as the saying goes. It’s hard to teach an old dog new tricks.. Erik
Tait has also taught this old dog something new. Hopefully this teaching presentation will encourage
the youth to carry on this wonderful hobby of Magic. Nice job, Eric.

I really enjoyed the video. Basic Magic but a must to learn if you want to perform card sleights.
The Penguin Production on videos is also great
Erik is a really good teacher and you can see
his obvious professional card chops
Loved how he tied all the moves taught into one cool routine
really good.
Really like these FREE Videos every time I watch one it helps make my day.
I have been doing magic since I was 8, I am 61 now on every video I have watch on the free
Downloads I have learned stuff.
Thank you very much for making them available. Would love to see
the Penguin go on tour again.....they were great.

I was an avid card magician many years ago, but haven’t performed a decades. My granddaughter is
learning magic and I wanted to refresh my memory. These are basic sleights and easy to do. They are
explained very well and the videos are helpful. So I would recommend them with our reservation

I am completely green in card magic, although I have seen quite a few YouTube videos on it, and
thought I'd try my hand at something. I was not disappointed with this tutorial!
It showed the
tricks in a nice, simple and approachable way, and I cannot wait to try them out!
I also love
that it wasn't too edited, so even though there were a few small mishaps with a card or two, and a
misremembered detail, I love when you see the real unedited stuff, so it doesn't come off as some
overpolished and overedited. It also makes me remember the details better for some reason. This was
awesome, and I thoroughly enjoyed it!
Well explained video for some usable card sleights. Never hurts to have multiple go-tos. Thanks for
offering this video.
What a great video! Well done. Thank you very much for making these downloads available, I learn so
much from these and I have begun doing magic again after about 20 years into retirement to work with
my very young niece and nephews who really enjoy magic and state they want to be magician’s. Erik is
a great presenter and teacher, and the kids are learning these card sleights.
All are great. Great teacher/instructor.
