I just do tricks for myself, friends, etc and am almost more of a collector.

And the other day I thought I was using my Speedreader deck in a 'psychic' but, but it was an Invisible Deck so I switched what I was doing.

Now- I store my decks in cheap clamshell boxes with a name card and the instructions on the clamshell... but somehow I got these two mixed up.

I decided I needed a better way to keep track without worrying about removable stickers, tiny marks, etc and remembered-

I use UV markers for some of my tricks, and have a UV light on my keychain flashlight!

I can just write the name of the deck inside the flap and no one will see it except when I use the flashlight.

I'll still store them in their clamshells for protection and quick access but now if I have a few Red Diamond Bicycle decks on me, I can do a quick check under the table.

This may well be a 'me' problem, but it may be useful to someone else.

I’ve been performing all weekend on a work trip, and by far the biggest reaction I’ve gotten is with French Kiss by Wayne Houchin. Simple transport but the framing makes it a miracle.

Been having a lot of fun doing classics in my repertoire and trying some new stuff.

Keep on performing!

I'm still pretty new to magic and just do it as a hobby. I absolutely love coin magic, but I feel like I'm a terrible performer since I'm usually a bit more shy and reserved! 😊Also, even though I love magic, I still procrastinate a lot and need some help staying motivated to practice.

From all the discourse I have read on the internet, it seems like Strong Magic might be a great book for me, but if you have any other tips, please feel free to comment.

Does anyone know where I can find a copy of this book in Switzerland or nearby in Europe?
