Hi! I am Brandon Nowasky. I am here on behalf of Expert Village.com and I am going to show
you some of the fundamentals of card tricks. In this clip, we are going to start off with
the type of cards that you need to use. There are many different types of cards, different
brands that you probably will know. The two that I prefer are Bicycle and B-cards; this
has to do with the finish of the cards. Bicycle and B-cards have an air-cushioned finish;
what that does is it allows the cards to move smoother through your hands, allows you to
do fans, spring the cards, all these little flourishes that we are going to get to later
on. Now other brands of cards, cheaper brands of cards will have, plastic coated cards they
clump up; it is a lot harder to use, and you are not going to be able to be as smooth with
those cards. Like I said before you want to use Bicycle brand or B-brand cards for the
air cushion finish. In the next clip, we will go over some of the fundamental techniques
of card tricks.
