For those of you interested in an impromptu version, you may want to check out Larry Jennings' Ambitious Classic routine, it's slightly different but definitely workable to fit whatever you wanted. And it's totally impromptu (Provided you have a deck of cards) and rather easy to do aswell...

Yeah man :D Scorpio! We put the sting in sting. - Sean

It could be Psycho... That definitely sounds like something I'll pick up anyway though. - Sean

I think a lot of people forget that a video is exploitable, you can watch a video over and over again until you eventually figure it out. I wouldn't call that talent or impressive, quite the opposite in fact. If you can figure out effects, naturally (which granted I view as an entirely...

Indeed, Denis' site is a fantastic resource, I use it all the time whenever I want to look up some background on a sleight and who has variations etc. It's also fantastic to watch his videos, his Distrubraction (Collectors V) by Larry Jennings is really quite something to watch. Knowing the...

It can be found in his PDF entitled Three or III along with some other fantastic sleights and effects. You can purchase it here: http://www.danielmadison.co.uk/3.htm Please bear in mind this isn't neither an easy or impromptu thing to do and there is some required set up, but the set up is...

How impromptu? If you're feeling up to it, you could do a deck switch to a blue deck with a red card on top, do a simple colour change of your choice and reveal the deck change. Just another option but involves a purchase, you might want to take a look at David Forrest's Colour Burn...

Hmm, well just an idea that came to my mind is the following: You're left with a blue card right? Why not say something like "You know the problem now of course? Well it's blue... That means it can't be from this deck. Here you can do a card to sealed deck using any method of your choice...

Today I came up with 2 ideas and now I'm working on actually getting them how I want them to be. - An easy triumph that keeps the deck in the same order. Similar to 'Emerge Triumphant' but without the difficult false shuffles. Possible Colour-Changing Deck finish I also understand that this...

I don't own Dangerous but I voted half vanish. Just from watching the trailer I can tell that it would play big on Spec's. - Sean

I was thinking the same thing. Although going from JB's post, they have "several" pieces that were removed from the final cut. Maybe they'll be releasing these as 1-on-1's too. Seems like that would be a very reasonable option. - Sean

The invisible deal is a really cool impromptu thing to do. I've had it not work, but only by fault on my part. ;) Extreme Mental Effort has opened my mind to new ways of thinking. I'd have to say that was my favourite effect on there, for pure impossibility and for also changing my view on...

Again, a cool competition but not something I'll be participating in. I look forward to watching everybody's entries :D - Sean

It was good until you started recycling and editing the two clips you filmed into slow motion wherein you ended up flashing at one point. I would've preferred to see this weaved into an effect of some sort rather than a stand-alone video of this one move. Don't get me wrong, colour changes...

If you want to re-produce the deck try this, it's worked for me before :) Cross your arms and lean slightly forward over the table as you reach down and grasp the deck (This is usually pretty easy to do unless they've gone all messy). Ask them if they can pretend to spread a deck of cards...

Bow-To-Stern Control (Still practicing this) Longitudinal Swivel Steal (My favourite steal) Convincing Control (Ernest Earick Handling) Double Undercut (Please don't underestimate this) Pass (Appropriate to the situation) Mike's Move Possibly my favourite is an open triple cut to a...

If you're not all too keen on gimmicks, I'd stay clear of Identity for a while. :) Leaves Believe and Mystique. From there, it's just a question of which one you think you would get most out of, not just in a "bang for buck" sense but also in terms of how you're going to do yo' magic thang...

Larry Jennings Michael Vincent Juan Tamariz The list goes on forever but these guys were the first three that came to mind. - Sean

My opinion: They're both too powerful to be used as openers. Do something nice, simple-to-understand and something you enjoy putting your all into. :) Get them used to you handling cards in a different manner than they might. - Sean

That was sweet :) Nice job man. - Sean
