Which books did you decide on?

Like Bee Stingers Aristocrat is a popular brand for casinos. I'd give another vote for aristocrats. Tally Ho have a great feel as well.

It looks pretty cool, I don't like that you have to destroy a seal and cellophane. Hopefully he teaches how to seal up your own decks. As such I don't see how it could possibly reset quickly for walk around or stand up. It seems cool for TV but I don't see how it would be practical at all.

Okay that makes sense. None of the versions above require a force of any kind. I'll send you my version to give you an idea.

Even without practice you'd really couldn't miss. What ACAAN are you doing where you miss?

Haha my bad, I was thinking of Pneumonia

I'd contact Joe Monti. He has a bit that he does with a little plastic container that shoots water from time to time. He puts it in his mouth as well.

Yeah, I thought of that. He started going after the cards by himself at first. The deck itself is kind of old and pretty soft. He seems to be okay with it :)

I have the version of Anthology that immediately precedes the current one. I like his ideas but his tricks and sleights are not very practical in my view. His ideas are fine but I wouldn't "waste" my money as you said. I used to own his DVD mechanic as well. He really lacks in background...

In the above versions there isn't ever a miss. These are all surefire, unless you mess up of course. In my version any card can be selected from the pack. In Hands off, and ACAAB they can name litterally any card and any number 1-52. In Infallible you can miss but it's easy to lead them along...

It's a work in progress haha. Sometimes he'll catch it but most the time he can't quite do it.

I use the card at any number effect on my download Almost Automatic the most: http://www.penguinmagic.com/p/5123 I have changed Mark Eldson's Infallible to work as a stage effect that I use often: http://www.penguinmagic.com/p/S17724 Hands Off by Patrick Redford is pretty good and easy to do...

My dog, his name is Indiana Jones, has decided that my cards are his new favorite toy

Card to wallet, Pick a Card, Production Box

Magic can be a great career but you have to think of it like a business. You have to work hard at it honing your skills of course but cultivating clients and promotional material. For me, when I mention that I am a magician I do so with a straight face very seriously. I can mention that I am...

Yes, it is tough to get ahold of though. It is by Juan Tamariz and is his Pneumoica system most likely. As was mentioned by Penn Simon Aronson has similar work on the subject.

I LOVE England's penetration from Paul Harris' Art of Astonishment volume 2. It uses a dime. There is a transposition in Metal Volume 1 that is good too. It uses a quarter and a penny.

There is not just one card in balloon effect. The classic has nothing to do with pressure. Shawn Farquhar has added it but it is not available to the general public. Kevin James has a version it is taught here: http://www.penguinmagic.com/p/6059 Jay Sankey's Version is taught here...

Cool stuff!

If you are looking into publishing this on the Wire then make sure to include these aspects in the trailer and tutorial so that you can set your effect apart.
