That's what I usually do, is string Simple Sandwich and Search and Destroy together with patter. I see what you mean, but The Visitors doesn't have the same appearance as the others. Yes, their card appears sandwiched, but it's no the classic "let's find your cards with these cards." It has a...

This topic is really interesting, and it reminded me of something Wayne Houchin touched on in one of his daily updates. He said he had been working a table with a heckler, and did something on the spot that he found out worked well. He "let the spectator in" on the trick. He palmed the card...

IMO, magic is complemented well with small, smooth flourishes. The flashiness can detract from magic, and like everyone else said, makes them contribute all of the magic to those sort of moves. Little flourishes that flow well with the routine seem to help get the laymens attention, but not...

Of course. I didn't want it to sound like we think these are fine, we still practice them extensively. Which changes did your friend notice? We'd like to know what needs the most work.

Yeah, thats what I;ve noticed when perofrming this. Simple sandwich is strong, but not really an eye catcher. I;m going to start opening with ishkabibble sandwich. It's so visual!

Thank you. My friend and I have shown this video to many of our non-magician friends, and they think it looks "amazing." You were exactly right, we aren't performing for magicians.

There are two people performing in this video. Which person's doubles are you talking about? Could you be more specific as to which effects?

Thanks everyone for the feedback. And just to tell you guys; we had a few laypeople view the video before posting it, and they said they couldn't catch anything on there, and they watched it multiple times. We thought after that it was good enough quality to upload. DLeerium - Ok, thanks. I'll...

Or, he could be trying to get feed back. Constructive criticism is a wonderful thing, much better than insults, or pessimistic views. As for the Clipshift, like everyone said, just get it a bit more naturally. Good job for only a month though!

Just because you haven;t seen one doesn't mean they don't exist. I've seen a wonderful handling, where you start with 4 kings, and end with the 4 aces.

Also, try not to forget vowels when typing your messages. They're very key parts of words. (Directed at MysticPig)

Wow, that blew me away. I haven't watched any of Cyril's ACR, so I sure as hell wasn't expecting that. Awesome. Good performance.

Yeah, I was going to point this out. This spectators have no idea you plan to do something else, so you need to seem like everything just went down the tube, and your scrambling trying to perform something else. This will get the card they picked out of their head for a while. As for the...

What would you suggest as an opener? simple sandwich seems like a good way to catch their attention.

I guess it's not really a routine persay, but do these 3 seem to flow well? Opener - a simple sandwich, Aaron Fisher Middle - Search and Destroy, Aaron Fisher Closer - The Visitor, Larry Jennings

Practice is definetly what you need. But one thing that helped me out enormously when I would lose the card, is to do what someone said earlier, and put your pinky finger along the short side of the deck facing you. Then, injog the card to the edge of the pinky. This keeps the card in place, and...

That was extremely clean and natural. You've got a gem right there

and they would not sell an effect that's that god awful. Can you figure out the method from the video? Is it obvious to you? If you have ample presentation, you will be just fine.

The tricks you are performing, and sleights involved, are not what's important. It's your presentation, style, and connection with your spectator. They don't know if you used a double undercut, or did a pass. Thats not what they're watching. This DVD isn't such a great thing because many of...
