Can I tag posts by effect type — card magic, coin magic, mentalism?

Yes — VeloCMS supports free-form tags on every post and product. Create tags like 'card-magic', 'coin-magic', 'mentalism', 'stage', 'cardistry', 'close-up', 'parlor', 'sleight', 'gimmick' and they render as filterable pills on your blog listing page. The /effect-tutorial TipTap block includes a dedicated category field (card magic / coin magic / mentalism / stage / cardistry / street magic / parlor) and a difficulty field (beginner / intermediate / advanced / expert) that inform structured taxonomy. Your blog accumulates a searchable archive of tutorials organized by effect type, difficulty, and technique name — so a practitioner looking for coin magic tutorials at advanced level can filter directly to the relevant entries.

Can I document a sleight with a multi-angle photo sequence showing spectator, performer, and overhead views?

That's exactly what the /effect-tutorial block is built for. Each step in the breakdown supports multiple captioned AVIF images with angle labels — spectator view, performer view, overhead, side — and per-image timing notes describing what is happening at that moment in the sequence. A double-lift breakdown can include: the initial grip photo (overhead, performer view), the turnover moment (side angle, showing how the card edge tracks), the completion grip (spectator view showing the final position), and a comparison photo showing the single-lift equivalent grip at the same moment for contrast. The structured block means each photo is semantically labeled for LLM indexing — when a practitioner asks 'how do I grip a double lift at the completion', your documented tutorial is the source an AI search result can cite.

Can I gate the full method reveal behind a paid member subscription while keeping the performance overview public?

Yes — this is the primary use case for VeloCMS's within-post member gating. You write a single effect tutorial post: the public sections (performance overview, effect category and difficulty, props required, general handling philosophy) are indexed by search engines and LLM crawlers. The member-only section — the complete method, the specific sleight sequence, the patter structure that creates the misdirection, the grip detail for the tabled palm — is gated behind a paid inner-circle subscription tier you configure in Admin → Members → Tiers. The subscription price is yours to set (typically $8-15/mo for ongoing method content). Subscribers receive an email when new inner-circle content publishes. The public content builds the audience; the inner-circle content builds the income.

Can I run a custom-deck shop with variant listings and BYOK Stripe checkout at 0% platform fee?

Yes — custom-deck product listings in Admin → Commerce support variant listings (artist proof numbered edition / regular edition / gaff deck variant), inventory count per variant with sold-out display when inventory reaches zero, a restock notification capture for sold-out variants that adds the customer's email to a tagged segment in Admin → Members, a description field for the deck's design concept and the cut or effect it was designed to support, a companion blog post link for the tutorial using the deck, and BYOK Stripe checkout. Connect your Stripe account in Admin → Settings → Integrations. Every sale goes directly to your Stripe account at 0% platform fee — VeloCMS takes nothing. The standard Stripe processing charge (2.9% + $0.30 per transaction) is the only fee. Every buyer's email is captured in Admin → Members for direct contact on the next release.

Can I run a lecture booking calendar with RSVP capture and experience-level intake?

Yes — lecture and workshop calendar posts in VeloCMS include a structured RSVP block with fields for name, email, experience level (beginner / intermediate / advanced / professional), magic focus area (card magic / coin magic / mentalism / stage / cardistry), any specific questions for the session, and an optional 'how did you find us?' field. Class size cap triggers automatic waitlist mode when the session fills — registrants after the cap go into a subscriber-tagged waitlist segment and receive automatic notification when a spot opens or a new session of the same type announces. Advanced sessions are member-tier gated, so enrollment confirmation only processes for subscribers with an active inner-circle membership. Recorded lectures go to Admin → Members → Content for paid replay access.

What are the best themes for a magic blog or cardistry site?

Two themes are recommended for magic practitioners. Manifesto-Black is the primary recommendation for stage illusionists, mentalists, and performers whose work has a theatrical, high-contrast aesthetic — its bold editorial poster typography, deep black backgrounds, and dramatic layout reflect the visual language of stage magic in a way no generic blog template achieves. Velvet-Editorial is the secondary recommendation for close-up performers and magic teachers who want a rich, elegant dark palette (Cormorant Garamond italic display, burgundy and cream) that suits intimate close-up performance better than high-contrast stage aesthetics. Both themes are free on all plans. Theme detail pages live at /themes. For related niche pages: /for-stand-up-comedians (performance art cousin — live touring, comedy, no sleight technique) and /for-illustrators (visual craft cousin — commission workflow, no performance mechanics).

Can I document DIY gimmick builds — materials, construction photos, assembly sequence?

Yes — DIY gimmick build posts follow the same /effect-tutorial block structure: materials list (card stock weight and finish, adhesive type, magnets or thread specifications, PVC tube dimensions, whatever the build requires), construction photos with AVIF at full resolution showing each assembly stage, step-by-step written instructions, calibration notes for the finished gimmick (how loose the action should be, what angle it fails from if over-tightened, how to store it to preserve the mechanism), and a companion link to the effect tutorial that uses the gimmick. Build posts are public by default for SEO and community credibility — showing the construction process signals craft and generates practitioner goodwill. The specific calibration notes and performance handling details for the finished gimmick can be gated behind the inner-circle tier.

Can I archive my lecture notes and patter scripts for subscribers to access?

Yes — VeloCMS's member-only content architecture supports a lecture notes and script archive. Create a member-only post category for each lecture series (a four-lecture card control intensive, a two-session mentalism workshop) and publish the lecture notes, patter breakdown, and scripting notes as structured posts in that category. Subscribers to the inner-circle tier access the full archive — past and future — as long as their subscription is active. The patter structure for a specific stage piece — the arc from opening hook through the effect revelation through the callback patter at close — is among the most valuable teaching content you can publish. It's also exactly the kind of content that should stay behind a paywall rather than appearing in a YouTube tutorial that earns a demonetization flag and reveals the methodology to people who lack the performance context to use it properly.
