Thanks for the responses. One of the tricks (probably my favorite of the three) involves giving the spectator(s) a deck of cards, having them chose any cards (they can chose any cards and any number of cards or none at all, though i will probably have them keep it under ten for the sake of...

I have three card effects that I have devised, at least to my knowledge they have not been published elsewhere, and I was wondering where I need to go next. In other words what is the next step torward getting them published, and at what point should I start thinking about copyrighting the material?

Just saw your thread on Christian magic. I like the idea, and have been a Christian for a long time. Thought I would offer my 2 cents. Look up a song called "Deck of Cards" i think it is by Tex Ritter. It relates a deck of cards to the Bible. I think that you could develop some ideas from it...

Here we go again. Just when I thought it was over.

Groove Electric Switch is indeed it. Thanks a lot fellas. Very quick responses too i might add.

someone posted a link not to long ago to an effect where a card is chosen put back in the deck, then a different card is shown and placed into fanned cards face up, and the fan is closed and the card changes into the selected card. I tried to search, but couldn't find it.

Cool, thanks. He is an amazing guitarist.

Is that an Eric Johnson song?

I was introduced into these forums very harshly with some pretty intense arguing when i joined a few months ago. I tried to bite my tongue and get along so i could learn. I have held off as long as I can. There are some immature, overbearing, antagonists posting on these boards. Absolutely rude...

yeah its the same end result, he just gets there in a different fashion.

Or even easier than that, you could cull it to the middle while you spread through.

Don't know whether this has been done or not, but here is an idea that for an effect. The magician shows a deck of cards to the spectator(s) then gives them a shuffle and has someone chose a card. Then spectator is told to extend both arms one palm up and the other positioned to grasp the...

Yes, that would be "a journey to find" not "a journey that led me to", or "a journey on which i found". Sounds pretty obvious to me that he is not claiming to have the perfect technique. However this could be a matter of interpretation. RD - could you be anymore obnoxious with your posts...

Another thing that I would say is use "normal" decks that people are used to seeing such as red/blue bikes etc. I was using a ghost deck and one of my friends who is very very skeptical of everything flipped out and wanted to inspect it because he had never seen that type of deck before. I was...

Audience management will reduce the amount of people asking to hold the deck, but there will always be skeptics no matter how well you perform. It is a good idea to be prepared to deal with such a case, and I think it is probably a good idea to work it out in such a way that you can hand them...

Thanks fellas. That makes me feel a little better about it. I looked for that book but it was out of stock everywhere that i looked. Is the material good outside of the erdnase stuff?

I had an idea involving the erdnase steal that i wanted ya'll to give me your opinion on. The idea is to setup for the erdnase change and perform the steal pretending that you are going to change the card. You do it with "half" the motion of the change i.e. you cover the card perform the "shift"...

I don't think its all that different relatively speaking. But i guess i will handle them my way and you will handle them your way. It doesn't look like something we will come to terms on. I guess it will cater to your style of presentation.

When i say dispose i don't mean completely get rid of him i just mean make him be quite, but if that means getting rid of him then sometimes that is what has to happen. I am speaking as an entertainer and not as a magician because my only entertainment experience was as a musician, and believe...

You could do EVERYTHING RIGHT and still get heckled, it's definitely not because you "ALLOWED" it (most of the time). It doesn't matter what they look like or who they are with. They will heckle you if they want to. Not all hecklers are funny either they just think they are and a lot of times...
