In reply to this thread, I would say the best and easy card magic effect is "Easy estimation aces by Paul gordon". Just set the aces up in order beforehand and false shuffles and cuts before you begin to cut to the aces. That way you don't have to do a faro shuffle. Really great effect in my...

My bad i didn't know this was in the Card Magic Section. Another thing is that in the thread description alex said, "any effects that are easy to do". I know I've been saying this a lot but this really is a great effect, I just can't stop performing it. I've literally performed it no less than...

I believe you can teach someone if you have more knowledge then they do and are serious about that particular artform? I am 16 years old yes how do you know did you saw my youtube videos or judging from my post about a friend in high school? The thing is she hates learning from books, she gets...

EVERY laymen knows about this effect already. Check out the West Springfield dance team on America's got talent.

Definitely the Okito voodoo doll. Check out my performances of this effect on youtube if you haven't already An important point to make when doing this effect is to keep your hands and fingers as still as possible. DO NOT bend your hands or fingers like I've seen in all of the performances of...

Wow, thank you very much everyone for chiming in! I really did not expect so many feedback and so many great points for me to think about! I really have no idea what to say next except thank you very much to all of you, I'll tell her about this and if I have any further problems, I will let all...

I agree that this is a good presentation for this effect, but the handling where you need to take out the sharpie for no reason, when you didn't write on anything, is really funny and pointless to me. In the presentation he said that to imagine pieces of paper, then why not imagine a sharpie as...

I meant out of all the magic that I've purchased, and that's a lot. Better than loops, little man by paul harris, or any $100+ gizmos and gadgets out there.

I completely agree with you, next time I won't mention any strings. I'll just wait for them to try and find the string and they might be a little bit more surprise that way:) Very good point, thank you.

Now that is a GREAT idea, thank you!! Though I don't quite understand the second part, how does chopsticks relate to piano and how does all of this has anything to do with magic. Also, I don't think she will be finish with magic easily, she's very passionate.

Hey everyone, so one friend of mine in my high school got started in magic because she've seen me perform magic a lot a school and one day I decided to teach her a few simple shoelace and card magic to get her started. The problem is that everytime she watches me perform magic, she wanted to...

My best advice for you is: Leave him alone.

Now back to the subject, I don't know if you've read my suggestion about the thread concering the effect snowstorm by jay Sankey, but I believe that this fits perfectly into the christmas theme and can be done anytime in your set. Have you seen this effect?

In my opinion, this is one if not the best method to a magic effect that I've across so far in my magic career. With regards, to the price, practicality, audience impact, and the impossible factor, there's no effect that can beat this. At first when I got this effect, I didn't perform it at all...

I always present this effect as a way to magically move the doll and my patter storyline might not make sense to some pople but as long as they can visualize similar scenes that they've encounter in the movies this effect will take their breath away. I understand your comment perfectly about the...

Well, the thing is that you do not have to present or even mention the word voodoo doll while performing this effect. As you've seen in my video, I said that it was a scarecrow and during my walkaround gig when I perform this for little kids, I told them whether or not they remember the time...

Oh and here is my other suggestion for a card trick that you HAVE to do at a christmas party. Snowstorm by Jay Sankey, it's very easy to do and fits the theme perfectly.

What do you mean you don't know how to present this effect well and can't make it realistic? You do not have to make a 20 minute presentation or story line that leads into just this one quick effect. If you've seen my video, I just told them about the story of the scarecrows that I've seen in...

Even though the trick that I'm going to mention is not a card trick, I truly believe that you will earn your applause as well as your reputation by performing the rising okito voodoo doll. You lay the doll flat on your palm and then it slowly starts to rise up into a vertical position. The...

Thank you very much for your warm feedback and advice, I will definitely keep that in mind. I'm glad you enjoy the performance, and yes after the show many people came up to me and asked to see the ropes and how I did it, even on the bus they still talked about this routine, I had a lot of fun...
