As in turn the card round and its the signed card? No. BUT, here's what I've been thinking. You've just finished the restoration: "But that's not the trick, what was your card?" "Queen of Hearts" *Turn the card round = Queen of Hearts* "But it's still not quite complete, for...

Hahaha. Levitate that ... Nice one :p - Sean

Hmm... The Ambitious Card routine itself is non-gimmicked but you can get some awesome finishes for it that are gimmicked. If you're referring to the Ambitious Card Routine where the card keeps coming to the top, that is not gimmickified. However if you're referring to Masuda's Ambelitious...

In the demo is it the Catapult that is being demonstrated right at the end? Or is it something else? It looks strangely similar to I think the "M.A. Coin Propulsion" found in New Magic of Japan... Does anyone who owns this know? - Sean

You think that's air you're breathing now? 'cause it's not... it's Ultrasmoke. But seriously, nice post. I thoroughly agree with what you're saying here, it's not always about what the Spectator sees or how you feel you did in an illusion, it's about the feeling that you create. This is why...

One Question and One answer :D Hell yes is it worth it. Honestly. I've said it before and I'll say it again, one of my best purchases in magic. Check this out :) Linky - Sean

I own both One and Two I prefer One's effects in general over Two. But Two has an awesome card to spectators pocket and deck vanish in a hat. :D Jeff Fitzgerald has a review of one of them I think. I'll get around to reviewing them myself sometime this week. Meanwhile... A-Level...

Man am I glad I wasn't the only one thinking that. >_> Also, no need for Sorry's Jeff :p Just thought I'd point it out :) - Sean

Currently working on my own mystery card effect called Signed Sealed Delivered Also re-reading Derren Brown's Trick of the Mind working through the memory section in the frame of mind similar to TeeDee's post up above :) Before all this though I was working on the Outjogged Herman Pass...

Nice review as always from you Jeff :D I disagree with your second con however. It CAN be done with a borrowed bottle and immediately perform*; Justin even performs it with a borrowed bottle and the DVD takes you through briefly how this can be done. It is NOT however taught in great detail...

The gimmick found in 5x5 Japan used for the effect "New Era Moving Pips" actually uses a different gimmick that of the one that Distortion uses and I would also assume different to the one that Cyril uses (being as he mainly only uses his own stuff). The one taught in 5x5 can also be applied...

So here I am sitting on my bed with my boyfriend and one of my other friends (CardSmith) casually reading up on the forums. CardSmith points out something I've never noticed before! There's some tipex on my bedsheets, but it's in rather an odd shape. I'll let you take a look for yourselves...

Man! I was SO gonna make this thread the other day!!! Goddamn you Dan and/or Dave!!! :p - Sean

Have they done a mass email or are they going through one by one checking the orders as I am yet to receive anything in my email. I'm patient so it's no bother :) I just always look forward to reading material. - Sean

My boyfriend actually bought me a whole set of cards in which these were included for Christmas. I have to say they do look pretty fookin' sweet up close, I haven't opened up yet, but I like the black and silverness of them. - Sean

Soup, soup-a Tasty soup soup-a Spicy Carrot and Corianda (chilli chowder) Crouton! Crouton! Crunchy friends in a liquid broth. ;):p - Sean

For me, I found the sleights relatively easy to learn, but I'm a quick learner. Slow practiser but yeah :p I've been in magic for about a year. If I get the chance I'll perform my favourite effects/sleights from the book and upload it to the media section. But it could be a while. *grumble* Damn...

Definitely the TnR gimmick, it's by far my favourite gimmick ever. When I finished making it I couldn't get over how damn awesome it was! In saying that I have an idea for a gimmick that would create a nice effect, but I have yet to construct it and see how it plays out. Something to do over...

Where do you find most of your creativity/inspiration for sleights/illusions comes from? Do you sit and think or is it more of a lightbulb above your head moment? For me personally a lot of my ideas come to me whilst I'm in the shower... Go figure. :p - Sean

The Magic In this section of the review we'll take a look at the tricks on offer, I won't tell you what I think of the effects, I'll just describe them to tantalise your magical tastebuds. Yummy. The Omen: This is Aaron's take on Darwin Ortiz's 'Jumping Gemini' but with a twist. The Jack...
