That's 'cause your Wineski. :D Or Insexi... Whichever floats your boat. - Sean

Overview: So, I saw this effect released quite some time ago, and it drew my interest however, due to school work etc. it got lost in my thoughts. A recent thread in the Card Magic forum reminded me of the effect, some debate has been made about how the effect is presented - with fair points I...

You just have to be patient and go through it a few times, here are a few tips that I know I do whenever I read something in a book :): - Skim read through the whole thing, getting a general impression of what you can expect to be doing. - Go through the first actions to get a solid foundation...

Fair point, maybe it's that in England... Bicycles are hard to come by except for in Magic shops, of which there are none in Leicester. :( I'd still say that, if they're questioning the deck, it's a small problem on the part of the performer. Eh, it's a huge debate that I don't think will end...

Self control about when and when not to be doing magic. - Sean

Fixed. :) Just so you know... I have never had a problem with 'abnormal' decks causing or arousing suspicion. In saying that, they haven't made me better or worse at magic either, like any deck, it's just a tool to accomplish something. - Sean

For those of you still concerned about touching the deck for an effect such as this... The following was one of my first thoughts for justification of holding the deck. Basically you turn it into more of a psychological demonstration of ideomotor movement or muscle reading if you really want to...

Ah, cool. Thanks for the help! :D - Sean

Does it come with rope? If not where's the best rope to buy? :) Thanks very much, been looking at this for some time now. - Sean

Sure, it's called A Grand Triumph by Camilo Vazquez. :) You can find it in Mnemonica - Juan Tamariz, pgg 139-140. A lot of golden material in that book, please don't mistreat it. - Sean

I can't say I've really had this problem... However chances are, if your spectators are catching onto it coming from the bottom... They're gonna notice the fact the 7 has changed. Besides... don't you think that's a little more effort than is necessary, just to prove that you're "right". If...

Oh wow... you just reminded me of that one... It's an awesome triumph routine if it's the one I'm thinking about, the deck is already mixed face-up and face-down and is spread on the table. The magician turns their back and three spectators turn over any card they want - three selections can be...

Very nice smooth flowing handling. Really enjoyed that, thanks for sharing. :) - Sean

I see what you did there ;) - Sean

Wait what? There's a competition going on?! :O :rolleyes: We're here to help each other and have fun, it's not about who's teh ultimate pwnz0rz roflololololmao. *sigh* Seriously though, welcome to the forums DarkMagic :) Fun times ahoy. - Sean

I may and or may not be twittering... And it may or may not be www.twitter.com/sean_raf I'm jus' sayin'. - Sean

Nice thinking, nice simple effect. However, you were flashing quite a bit, and as a result the method was somewhat exposed to me. It's always important to check your video for flashes and how it actually looks. In your video you were hesitant with your sleights, some flashed and you looked like...

Prae, please don't ever leave... You save me so much finger energy that I can be using for other things... ... Card related things. :p - Sean P.S. "They rely on the effect, rather than relying on themselves as a performer, and this separates the chaff from the wheat." So so so very true...

You can reveal it pretty much wherever you want, you can reveal it or your spectator can find it. Be realistic though... Someone's mouth is just ridiculous... although maybe not that ridiculous if you don't mind being seriously traditional. Across the city would be an awesome idea... to reveal...
