Look into "Assassin Gimmick." It can be done with any sword, knife, etc. Kind of pricey at $350, though... But, you should be able to achieve the same effect with it. -ThrallMind *edit* Just realized someone posted a direct link to it.

Actually, I think that video was the cost of his ticket ;) -ThrallMind

Thats only with protected content. I don't believe T11 does this, and therefore no need to have a backup. But, its not a bad idea to back up to begin with. -ThrallMind

I don't know how well fire will go over in a classroom setting... ;) -ThrallMind

Tenkai the deck? -ThrallMind

Well, you can think of it as different genres. If you perform in the style of Jeff McBride, you are almost portraying fantasy. If you are performing in the style of Criss Angel, you are playing a thriller. Ed Solomon, a horror. Tom Mullica would be a comedy. So on and so fourth. You need...

Hmm, I recall something called Control which is coming out that has nothing to do with cards. Remember, Sands, this site is pretty new. Give it some time. If you don't like the place, why stay here? To troll? I just cant seem to take anyone seriously who complains about something, and...

I have two DVD sets on stage hypnosis which were very good. I just cant remember the name of the set. When I get back into town I can look it up and post the name here. -ThrallMind

Mitchell is correct. There is no flow here. More like you are jumping from one effect to the next with no link in between. I'm assuming this is a street performance routine you are trying to come up with? People do like changes in magic. However, if you just keep changing from one thing to...

You'd be surprised how many laymen actually know about the double lift and palming. If you can pull off a one handed double lift, very few people will question that you have more than one card. Psychologically, its a great thing to be able to do. It dispels all thought that its a double...

I had seen the advert for this one. I don't know if anything will top crazy demon lady, though... -ThrallMind

Recapped from the Art of Astonishment Vol 1. AoA also has a healthy amount of effects for everyday items in general. -ThrallMind

Why only do gimmickless effects? Well, not here to judge. Bound seems to have at the least some setup, so it's out. Breach does say there is a gimmickless version, so that should be okay. Wrath appears to have setup at the least, so it's out. Irreversible seems to not use gimmicks...

My idea of magic is allowing someone to take a step away from reality, a small jaunt where they can for a few minutes forget about their problems and enjoy themselves. -ThrallMind

I would start with the biddle trick, having them sign the face of the card. It is no longer one out of 52 cards, it is now unique. The card chosen mixed with where they signed the name, no other exists like it in the world. Go on to perform the biddle trick. When they hold the deck, and...

Yep. Problem is, they are costly. -ThrallMind

If I'm in jail, my problems are far worse than trying to gain "cred" by using my cellmates deck. And you laugh at the sticky card thing...but I've had someone hand me a deck of snoopy cards which was dropped in dirt, bits of what seemed to be ketchup on some cards, and others which appeared...

I pick based on suits my performance best. If you don't do card work, for example, fallen and UltraGaff would be kind of pointless. Other than that, I'll pick which one had the biggest wow factor on me when I first saw it. -ThrallMind

I was thinking this could be interesting to add to Control. Imagine the pulse stopping, then this stuff happens. You could play it off like it always does this, or "genuinely" freak out. -ThrallMind
