Sometimes the best tricks are the ones that go wrong. There are so many examples of that here.

ChristopherT, I love reversals! They are some of my favorite tricks. MyReality, They are: The Phantom Card [my impromtu version] "Mind reading" ACR I only sadly have three that I love to perform.

You said it like it is. I believe the same. I work with cards mostly as well. But I am just wanting to know more of a variety of tricks with different stuff.

It's actually pretty simple to have them cut to their card. I just can't reveal it here.

Reading these make me think [and I'm sure other people thought], ''What if my favorite trick goes wrong [which is crazy man's handcuffs, and pulse, with an impromtu phantom card]? I need an out.''. I came up with one for Crazy Man's Handcuffs after having this happen: When I was pulling the...

I actually just thought of it bringing back my si steben's story.

I was once performing the Si Steben's stack one time, and the spectator completely ruined the stack through the wrong cutting sequence. Unfortunately she already selected and remembered her card. But I monologued a bit to make her forget her card, and even remembering she selected one! So...

Sorry. Wasn't paying attention. Okay well, I like the charity water deck, artisans, and monarchs.

Practice more, and make sure when you do the pass, that the spectators view is panoramic, not focused.

Clarify further with ''how do you want to make it?''.

I am currently learning to play classical guitar which I need nails for on my right hand. Is that a problem with cardistry? Will the nails get int the way and not allow me to perform the flourishes with ease?

I have an idea. What if we create a thread where magicians can post stories about there ''mess up and fix'' trick situations? It would be a good source for motivation. If someone is looking for what to say in these cases, he could post his question on the forum, and maybe get some good answers...

They are the best.

So good! Keep it up!

There are A LOT. If you want easy and impressive, I would go for learning ''Pulse''. If you want a gimmick, go for ''The Haunted deck'' or the ''Invisible Deck''. One I really like is the phantom card. It uses a double back card, but is impressive and easy. Triumph is another good one. There are...

Does anybody know of any killer effects using only rubberbands? I use stairway and crazy man's handcuffs, but don't know of any other killer effects using these props.

Thanks for the input. When I make it better, I will post it on this thread. JPV JR.

Do you let up on the pressure from the spring? If that is the case, you put more pressure on the cards gradually as the deck gets smaller.
