My answer is the same as the other similar topic, I believe that designer Cards should have Marks designed into it

The Sentinels was the first "designer deck" or expensive deck I got, and I still love those cards, the way they perform... Growing up extremely poor, houseless at times, no food for days, just extreme poverty, I don't want to get into situations, but I remember when finding a deck of cards...

he also had this idea... like a 'reverse Manhattan change' into a Manhattan change' idea

Chris has this sequence here

I do not think that any Card At Any Number is the "Holy Grail"

it depends on what you want to do after... is it just a change and clean up? are you doing it in a changing sequence? where do you need to go after the change?

"practical" can be different things to different people in different situations, that is why I always stay away from "what is the best effect" type questions, and I will always start asking questions back because one person's "best" can be something different to another person... and I want that...

With highly "Visual Magic" a lot has Gimmicks of some kind or techniques that can make a performance 'stiffer'... like the Buck Twins Have you seen Chris 'Orbit' Brown's 'Arthritis Onslaught' Videos? they are old videos, but has a lot of interesting changes he has some instruction videos he...

are they for live performances or for videos/promotional videos etc?

Have you seen Bill Goodwin perform it? extremely fluid You can learn it from his Reflection DVD - http://www.billgoodwinmagic.com/reflection.html or just the change https://www.vanishingincmagic.com/card-magic-downloads/the-paint-brush-change/

what do you mean by Visual? do you mean where the audience can "see" the magic happening in real-time, or do you mean "flashy" moves?

Depends on how you present it, which, I guess could be said about any "Effect"... the presentations could lead it any direction, but at it's "base" it is not a complex effect, few "moves" and it has a strong "reveal" done "in their hand" I think we can talk about it like the Ambitious Card, it...

I have been thinking about this for a while... and didn't exactly know how to word it (English is not my first language) I don't know if there is "outdated magic" certainly outdated presentations... but I think if we framed it as "relevant" is magic relevant to "now" and are we adapting, and do...

If you wanted it more "Invisible" or with more cover, you would do a "cover-pass" ( I would use a dribble pass) using the top two cards as the "cover" you could dribble pass the other two cards into the middle I could explain it in more detail

you are starting with four aces on top and you need two in the middle and two on top? where do you need to keep your break?

This is always an amusing discussion because there are a majority of Magicians that will dismiss The Ambitious Card, but we are looking at it through our eyes, we know the moves, we know the outcome, but to an audience, imagine the first time seeing a card get pushed into the deck and with no...

Also, Paul Cummins had FASDIU I and II you can maybe find some ideas in

I have heard people dismiss it, but it always gets strong reactions from me, and when you do the Blaine addition of the "name a number" it can really hit

I understand, just asking because when Magicians say "Impromptu" it can mean something different from an audience's perspective

sure but is your "ordinary deck" prepared in a stack, or memorized, or set-up for a certain routine? do you have something like an Index on you etc Impromptu can mean different things from a performers perspective and from the perspective of an audience
