Steranko is the creator of the sleights not the name of the effect. Maybe you could improve it by finding a book that teaches the moves properly instead of copying a Youtube video. You really need to stop posting so many videos, nearly half the first page (12 out of 25 threads) of this...

The Daniel Garcia projects are brilliant although you will need a lot of confidence to pull off some of the effects. The first phase of the rubber band trick is not gimmicked but the second phase is. If you want an impromptu linking bands have a look at DG's BentTouchSlink. If you want some...

I use the pass because of it's versatility, it can be used as a control, vanish, transposition, to reverse a cut, setup a sandwich effect etc. Purely as a control there's probably better moves out there (although it is probably my most frequently used control) but it's exceptionally useful...

1) He might do, although as much as I love DM's magic I can't say i'd be that interested in a deck of cards by him. There's more than enough custom cards round already. 2) I expect he'll release something here eventually, it's possible he doesn't want to commit to one site. 3) I think it...

If you're completely new to card magic then the best 1 on 1's would be Card funademntals Volume 1 & 2 by Aaron Fisher. In my opinion the best books to start with are The Royal Road to Card Magic and Card College. If you want a beginner DVD look into Born to perform by Oz Pearlman or Crash...

Did you actually read through this before you posted it? I've read through it several times and it doesn't really make sense. The point is you made a low quality video that looks like you're trying to imitate T11 and the effect is almost certainly not original. You haven't addresed any of the...

That's what I said, I gave a possible way of achieving a very similar effect in my earlier post.

I'm very interested in TOOC. I'd love to see something new from Lee Asher, maybe Pulp Friction will be released through T11, although i'm starting to think it will never come out.

It's not a set routine however there are certain factors which add or subtract from it's effectiveness regardless of how it's being performed. The principle of an ACR is that the card is in the centre then instantly appears back on top with no apparent manipulation of the deck. As soon as you...

I think he's asking if there's anyway his trick can be done impromptue, not ego.

I'm not sure if it's been done already, although when I watched the video I thought of a couple of impromptu ways of achieving it. The simplest was to use a Gamblers cop and the Clip Shift, this achieves a very similar effect.

They're being compared not because of their usefulness but because many people seem desperate to learn it just because they think it's the cool thing to do and because Dan and Dave do it. The Clip Shift also happened to be a brilliant move that has many applications, in my opinion the GOAT...

I wasn't aware of that, I recommended it because what I read seemed to be incredibly well thought out and i've yet to hear a bad thing about it from anybody who has read it.

I'd recommend Absolute magic by Derren Brown, I only read the first few chapters but it was brilliant.

You're not doing too bad but you've certainly got a lot of work to do. I'm going to be completely honest with you about this, the double lift was beyond awful, where the hell did you learn it? you were bending the cards, pushing them apart, using a really weird grip etc. I'd advise buying a...

Pick an effect from AOA, refine it to suit your character and work out a presentation for it. You say you like card mentalism effects, there's quite a nice one in AOA where you spread the deck and ask the spectator to think of a card. You then fan the deck and upjog a card, they name it and it's...

It's essential that you go out and perform more, there's no point perfecting a load of material without testing it, it's possible that it might not work too well in the real world and may need a lot of refining. The only way you'll find out what works is by getting out there and performing. I...

He's released a lot of material over the last year. Dangerous, Three, Thoughts of a madman and Collateral, it's not particularly surprising if he wants to take a break for a bit, tbh he probably had better things to do over christmas. I don't know why your so desperate to have anything new from...

I agree, it really shocks me how I constantly see absolutely pitiful performances shot from a terrible angle with flashes and it's justified with 'sorry vid sux lol'. If it isn't absolutely perfect then you should refilm it.

This year i've started to perform far more frequently, often several times a week. At one point I almost gave up on magic but after seeing the effect it can have on people, the joy it brings to them, this was more than enough motivation to get me fully back into magic and is now what drives me...
