Typical magic kits include:
• Ring tricks
• Coin tricks
• Mirror tricks

One of the best beginner tricks involves a svengali card deck. These decks alternate the same card throughout, which is cut differently than the other cards. However, these cannot be inspected by an audience member because they’re easy to discern.

Q: What is the Magician’s Oath?
A: As a magician I promise never to reveal the secret of any illusion to a non-magician, unless that one swears to uphold the Magician's Oath in turn. I promise never to perform any illusion for any non-magician without first practicing the effect until I can perform it well enough to maintain the illusion of magic.

Q: What’s a stripper deck?
A: A stripper deck is standard in any magic kit, and it gives the magician the ability to control where the position of a card or group of cards is in the deck. It can also be inspected by an audience member.

Q: Who’s David Blaine?
