Not to start an argument, since i respect the bucks for their pioneering work in cardistry, but seriously, everytime someone asks a question, the answers can always be found in the Trilogy..... there are so many other and better sources to learn from then the Bucks..... Just off the top of...

thanks for the compliments. I dont know what ur talking about bumping the thread ;) Anyway, talking for a camera definitely makes the presentation "stiff", but i know what u mean about being more fluid with the patter, and it is something i am working on for this and all my tricks.

im gonna say that u used a dupe for 2 reasons (on venus trap): 1: I can see the break your holding as well as the "pop" as you get to the break on the riffle which indicates to me that you are stoppping on a force card 2: The angle from where you roll the half of the deck back to the other...

i like the idea with the hermann pass while raising up the hands. A technique i use from KenKrenzel is to open the pinky break to a gap (like a book or the erdnase break) and hold the deck in right hand biddle grip to hide it. You can talk, gesture, etc, and when the hands come back together...

wow that fooled me... I saw all the hand movement in the back and thought "this isnt very smooth", and then you turn over the top card and I definitely didnt see any replacement so good job. Just try to eliminate the unnecessary hand movement and you have yourself a damn good sleight! :D

what is a retention pass?

a couple of books that i have that have added a lot of impromtu stuff to my arsenal are dear mr fantasy and larry jennings' stuff ('67 and classic magic). The triumph routine from jennings went straight to my arsenal and he has other great impromtu stuff. Check out the triumph routine here

well, i use the jason england method catching the corner with the thumb and not using the right index finger to slide the corner down. I can get the card to pivot out on the first squaring motion but it isnt lined up very well with my left palm. If i pull it down first till it butts up against...

my problem is when i push the card in, i cant get the card to come out in the correct position on the first squaring motion. I have to go back forward and back again with my left hand. Any suggestions? also, please look at this for an amazing DPS done live on tv by akira fuji. It is late...

This is my performance of a classic plot in magic. The handling is by Larry Jennings, and the ending is taken from the triumph routine in BFU. I KNOW THE PATTER MAY BE LAME AND I PAUSE A LOT, BUT IM TALKING TO A CAMERA, AND IN PERSON THE PRESENTATION IS NOT AS STIFF...

i love arrcos and tallyhos fan back. most gimmicks come in bike form so sometimes you gotta have one of those packs. I like the way stingers feel but people are not sure of a deck that isnt blue or red for some reason...

just practice until your fingers have the movement pattern down so smooth that it happens in a split second. Dont get discouraged just keep practicing ;)

I own the "extractor" gimmick and love it! It can accomplish an effect identical to this however maybe not as clean, but to the spectator, it doesnt matter. It can also be used for numerous other effects and to increase the impossiblity of many other card tricks I already do. How does Pandora...

I was wondering how this compares to "extractor" for practicality? I love the extractor and use it for this kind of effect.

card classics of ken krenzel has a whole chapter on the pass and includes the top card cover pass and a top card cover riffle pass as well as a few other variations on the classic pass

your DL was much too stiff and unnatural. the change looked good but im honestly not feeling the "replacement" as you pick up the card. Try to get the original card back under top card or better yet into the middle of the deck as in Jerry Andrus famous color change

i dunno about anyone else, but who gives a f*** about their class ring from hs? trust me in 2 years you wont be thinking about hs. If the ring does mean something, then that is a sign that you probably dont want to put the prediction in there. dont get me wrong, i had a blast in hs, but...

not sure of the eason effect, but pit hartling has a card under watch version of paul harris' Reflex effect that is designed for a street style (close up standing) performance. its in CARD FICTIONS

relax its not some earthshattering secret move thats super underground.
