Ebbs and waves... The David Stone thread has some potential. ;) j

The journey for originality and creativity is the pursuit of every magician. We all want to be creative and original like that 'other' guy. And let's be perfectly honest, some people have a knack and personality for being creative and witty, and others of us don't. How many people use Rocky...

Much agreed.

You know the guy to ask would be Michael Ammar. Fire him an email and see what he says about it. He may know of any similar versions as to what you describe.

When I was researching my coin through card effect a while ago, I found a few ideas very similar (in presentation) to your on various video sites. I found nothing published or sold so far that would actually fool real spectators. However keep searching because I am by no means an all knowing...

Great job Matt!

Great look and design Zach! In terms of the text, it may help to think of it like your resume. You want your clients to see what you can offer them. Discussing your age on the front page may be a deterrent for someone at first glance, so perhaps save it for your bio/about page. On the...

I've been using a coin through card for a while now. When I saw your title I was a bit shocked. But after watching it, it is very different. As far as C2C goes, does anyone have that? I tried to do something like this, but it was not practical at all.

I got "the Closer" a long time ago and never used anything different. I've varied the presentation a lot, but I keep it simple. Never needed to spend any more on anything different.

Bicycle Euchre deck is similar and comes with double blank cards (blank on both sides) as well as a bunch of face cards.

I thought carbon paper was Jay Sankey's? You should check out Drawing Room Deceptions by Guy Hollingworth. There's a similar but fantastic routine using this idea in there. edit: Found it: http://www.sankeymagic.com/detail.aspx?ID=48353 Is that the same one you are speaking of? If it is more...

I have been doing 3/4 across for years and it has never been the slightest issue (sorry for the pun), and imo Greg's seems much more innocent and less suspicious. For recap, try putting the pen in your pocket, it works well! j

I tried mixed signals and it actually got much better reactions than I thought it would. And dead easy.

Thanks for sharing. I love those moments when you are just messing around with stuff, especially at restaurants.

I love the idea of "gorilla" type magic where it happens unexpectedly. That was part of the premise behind that TV show T.H.E.M. Great premise, but I don't think they should have revealed the hidden cameras. lol

Random side note, Jason is coming to Edmonton for a lecture next month. I'm super pumped.

A Magic-Con Haiku Well, I will be honest. I am torn. To one degree, I want to go to Magic-Con so bad. When it was announced, I was following it closely and began to drop hints to my wife. As the time approached, my wife was sick of me talking about it and we talked about the reality, that...

Very nice. I still like it a lot.

If you know any peeks like the cenre tear, you simply say something like "It's okay because we are not even going to use the deck - keep it" then get a piece of paper and pen nearby (if you are at school, that stuff will likely be readily available). Have them write it down (to assure they don't...

Same. I'm always looking for a place to perform healed and sealed... ;)
