I am not 100% convinced that this isn't just actual magic. The manipulations are pretty amazing and then at the end it's mindblowing. ▶ this video
I didn't know who Ricky Jay was but ages ago i ran across this youtube video and was just floored, the whole thing just builds and builds and builds. ▶ this video
52Kards on YouTube has many free tutorials at beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels: link Although I just dabble I think they're mostly very good. They're definitely easier to grasp than the books I remember as a kid. Recently he's moved to doing non-free material: link In my limited experience YouTube has almost everything. Search for, I don't know, "table faro shuffle", and you'll find a few meh results and one gem. (Table faro shuffles are arguably what Ricky Jay is doing at the start of this classic, if you don't believe it's just a camera edit: ▶ this video )
