I personnally stoped using gaffed cards when a few months after I started magic, because I couldn't bring them in / out of play easily. However, I probably should start using them again... The problem is, I use my deck case in a lot of effects, so I can't just keep them in the box. Where do you...

You could have asked lol... And shinichikudo992000, I'm also interested in making soft coins. Who do I call ? :)

Is it just me or Mr Eric Jones upgraded the Smoke gimmick? With a tiny bit of thinking, we could do the original effect with less props, and without the need to switch anything. I don't want to expose anything, but "reversing" the gimmick is a great idea!

Independant study ? sounds interesting :D And btw, if you're interested in how my performance went yesterday, check it out here : http://forums.theory11.com/showthread.php?29933-Talent-Competition

So, yesterday night I went to my uni's talent competition as a close-up magician. I was half an hour late, had to rush my way in and still hadn't decided which trick I would do, since I had pretty much no idea what conditions I would have to perform in. I arrived there, and found out that most...

AH! I'm from France you know... I'm already lucky to be able to study in the UK for my degree, so I'll be able to make Blackpool this year, but Magic Con is way to far!! And way too expensive if I need to buy a plane ticket haha. I never really broadcast either at TMS. And I won't see their...

Good idea. I'm actually at -66 times. I don't skype though (I'm trying cut down the "research" part of magic to STUDY more) but if you want to session with great magicians, head over to the Magic Session, I used to go there.

Ok ;) I'll try it. Again :D

Which 3fly is it ? I've been trying Daryl's one but I just couldn't make it work without noise :(

It was... Pointless. :D 3 Fly is such a great routine! Are you doing it with soft coins? I stopped learning it because my coins talks :'(

Haha it's freaking UNBELIEVABLE. I think she did a double lift. Anyways ;), I'm at uni now, so I have a looooot of work, so excuse my previous silence :P I just read you went to the Castle! How did it go?

Interesting points TokyoUW, I need to get my classic force right now :)

The thing is, you don't need to "forgot" to take the jokers out. If you have a clean peek, I think you can really emphasize it's impossible for you to know the card. However, you could either do "an other trick with the aces" or "try to find your card and I have two chances : the red aces? no ...

Hey guys, I was going through the forum and I was thinking about the idea of UnknownMagician93 : to peek the selected card systematically; doing so would permit you to accidentally lose your break. The idea is interesting, but I think it's potential is fully reached only when you DON'T take...

That's good. Avoid the dead drop though : try to riffle ALL the cards, even the last ones.

Joshua Jay's handling of this effect allow a better flow, you might want to check his. It's called "Back in Time".

Quoted from Youtube : "maybe i will do one [tutorial]". Don't expose it.

Any haunted deck, and a lot of tricks using IT could be re-pattered as spooky.

On the subject of blind versus false shuffles, and by no means it is intended to be ironic/sarcastic, I wonder why we should only work with a small slug when you can do a full deck retention ? I believe a well executed full deck retention (with Push-throughs) avoid the blocking of a large slug...
