Waving the Aces and Waving the Aces II do not use any gimmicks, although if you really want to then they allow for it. Quartet does indeed use a gimmick. Really quite a clever one. :) As I've said, the booklet comes with the gimmick and contains a number of other routines including waving the...

The markings are applied before going anywhere with the deck. If you did it during the trick you might get noticed... :p Once it's done though it's done for good, and if you lose a card it's super easy to just mark another one. :) - Sean

On the subject of Magic Makers, does anyone else find this hilarious? http://www.magicmakersinc.com/dvds/royalroad.html "For the first time" Man I'd love to see the owner of Magic Maker's get punched in the face by Paul Wilson. - Sean

I can't comment on the Asher Twist but my partner has Drawing Room Deceptions which contains Guy Hollingworth's Waving the Aces. Indeed, it's very knacky and will take a decent amount of time to get down smooth and good looking. It's VERY visual and the audience can see the cards visually turn...

There's still time to make an entry! And there'll be contests each week with a new topic. :D Spread the word. >_> :p - Sean

Daft Punk ;) And don't tell me you don't like a bit of Daft Punk every now and again :p - Sean

I gave two cards to my mum to test that the other week. She couldn't see anything, and I told her they were marked. In saying that though, the system is vulnerable to the riffle test. If you don't draw attention to it, they won't be bothered. :) And even if they did quickly inspect for marks, as...

:( *goes to the corner* But wait! We're in a circular room!!! Paradooooooox! :p Seriously though, could someone post a piccymature for methose of us that can't see it? - Sean

You're lying!!! Why!! :( Why would you do that!!!... *sob* I thought the internet was run by elves... *goes to the corner* Also, I'm not seeing it. Maybe it's 'cause I'm in firefox, maybe it's because I fail at life. Who knows... Only Michael Ammar. - Sean

Ta-da! There's now criteria up in the original post. Please note that when these are being judged, there isn't really a strict set of criteria or marking system; I may do something like that in the later stages and include some runner-up/alternative titles for winners. For now, the idea is...

Same person? O_o Paradoooooooox!!! Where are we looking btw? I don't see any blurred image of anyone :confused: - Sean

What did you have in mind? It depends, ideally we don't want to stray too far from the card magic, but if your routine flows with other objects then I don't see why it would be much of a problem :) - Sean P.S. I'm working on a rubric for you.

You mean the Jack of Spades reveal? It sure is a cool reveal, combine that with some Ultrasmoke and you are sliding on ice. - Sean

Sure, I'll try and come up with something for tomorrow :) - Sean

Hm? What? >_> I don't see anything... :p;) - Sean

Eek! Sorry about that man! - Sean

Well, it has been judged! All 4 submissions were entertaining and very creative :D You should all be pleased, creating patter isn't an easy thing to do and you all managed to put something forward; well done!!! However a winner does have to be chosen and this week's happens to be: SirJonIV...

Hey all and welcome to the second week of the Theory11 Creativity Contest! For those of you who don't know, basically each Tuesday, I'll post a topic/subject for you to base a patter around. you then have one week to submit a video performance of a card trick of your choice including your...

Indeed, I love this production. It can be found in Earnest Earick's book 'By Forces Unseen' in context of the trick Claptrap. I liked this quite a lot actually. Especially the double popover. :) - Sean

Tempting as that is, it'll get rather confusing. What I'll do is post who the winner in this thread and there will be congratulatory posts and shaking of fists. Then I'll create another thread for the next week, it should look more spiffing than this week's ;) Rest assured everything will be...
