Few materials will be used to make the magic window. A colorful image. I took it from my kids coloring book. OHP slide. Transparency that was used to make slides before the movie projectors were used. Chart paper. Any card paper that is used to make greeting cards. Glue + stapler to bind things. Scissors + cutting knife. Scale/ruler to measure.

When using a projector or monitor in a performance, always set up the display as an extended desktop, and use the fullscreen shortcut (Ctrl+F / Cmd+F) to move the Magic Window onto the desired screen. This way, if you need to make any changes while the fullscreen performance is underway, you still have easy access to the other windows.

To perform card magic, start by holding the deck in dealer’s grip. Push cards over with your left thumb into the crotch of your right thumb, fan the cards along your right hand for support, and make the fan wide. Have a card picked, then close up the fan back into dealer’s grip. Like any skill, practicing card magic is essential to improve.
