Before I get started, I'm not looking for any exposure here, just sharing ideas if people want whilst being as mysterious as possible.
I've spent a little over 3 hours straight today practicing a little rouine I am working on. I'm sure it's not original, the overall plot is as old as time, but I've not learnt it from anywhere so playing with it as I go along.
The basic premise is that I get blindfolded, Luke and Obi help the spectator to freely choose a card then returns it to the deck and shuffles as much as they want, I then deal out not only the chosen card but the 4 of a kind. When I saw the promo for "The SEER" it looked pretty similar, but obviously the method is different as is most of the routine along the way, the destination is the same though. I don't perform at a table so this is all done in the hands, whilst practicing I am dealing to a table but when performing I'll be dealing to the spectators hands. I know there was a lot of talk of whether SubRosa works when you're not at the table, but honestly I find it 1,000,000 times easier in the hands.
There are a few different presentations of this with different patter and different outcomes, dealing only the selected card, etc. but the overall premise is something I think is pretty cool, and like I said, 3 hours today of just blind dealing 4 of a kind trying to get it natural and at speed which I think shows how cool I think it is.
So, at the moment that is obviously my favourite, just wondering what everyone else enjoys doing with SubRosa.
If nobody shares I completely understand, or if there are some ideas that people want to bounce around then great, whatever happens it's all gravy.
