To the best of my knowledge, I do not believe that such a thing exists.

Like a lighter? How do you mean? As in, a thumb tip that is capable of emitting flames? If that's what you mean, then I don't believe so - but there are other gimmicks you can buy which can do things such as light flash paper, etc. Depends what you need it for?

Then that means you need a definite closer. My current walk around closer ends with my ending the performance, and indeed leaving before the final revelation takes place. It sounds like some knowledge of theatre would benefit you a lot, and performance theory in general.

Is there any point to this actual thread? I could list just about every single sleight in Card Control in chronological order and they'd apply.

Patter was the biggest issue that I saw - specifically, the patter consister of, "There are four queens. If I flick them, there are now three." The spectator has eyes, and they're watching, they don't need to be told the obvious. Without real patter, it just feels watching a trick rather than...

I honestly couldn't tell you of anything specific. However, could you perhaps borrow from dove magic? I'm sure there are things you could import.

You know what my problem is, I look at just about all my DVDs, and I've got some interesting stuff, I have the DGP that I haven't watched for a while, I have the Sankey Anytime, Anywhere DVD, and everytime I watch them it makes me think, I should probably try this out, you know? I've just never...

Purely from hearsay, Tech Art Red and Violet Wynns are meant to feel the same as Brown ones, and different to normal Red and Violets. But you can make up your own mind from that one. Some people think that's the case anyway.

You missed the point completely. I'm not saying it can't turn into a good effect, I'm just saying that there's much better out there, that start off better than what is offered here.

Steerpike, thanks for bringing this to our attention. I have not had the privilege of seeing or meeting either of them, being down under, but know them by reputation certainly. Best wishes go out to Rick and I'm glad to hear you enjoyed Bruce's lecture.

To Unknown and 3AQ7, do you and if so, how do you address the question of why you're using two cards to find one? I'm interested in others' solutions to this; I do certainly recall some conversations in the past on this topic.

Yes, yes I do, you dirty boy.

I feel like I should add a simplified version of what I said before. Sandwiches have the innate issue I mentioned above. Despite this, sandwich effects can certainly be magical, even if this issue is not addressed. However, I believe that you are selling yourself short, if indeed the effect...

You couldn't have just asked about sandwich effects? >.> Where most sandwich effects fall short is simply this: why are you using two cards to find one? I feel that an effect can certainly be magical without this justification. However, an effect that does indeed lack this justification is not...

I eat subway but I haven't a clue what you mean?

I'm really surprised so many people listed Extraordinary Proof actually... o.O The method's been done before, with MUCH better presentation and justification.

Definitely need 13 Steps at some point if you're heading down the path of a mentalist.

Nice work Vega :) I think the more important question, at least for you personally would be, what are they going to remember you for? The other weekend I performed for about half an hour at a party, and all the effects were very well received. But the very first effect was the one that was the...

Thanks for the support Jack, it's much appreciated. I really don't mean to criticise the entire community, and I certainly don't extend it to every single person but I just find too many people too uninviting for various reasons :/ Which is a shame, but yeah... But thanks again for the words...

A combination of both. I study what interests me (and in the process, hopefully, discover more about myself as a performer, what I like performing, etc.), and get guidance from a mentor as to where I should be looking as well as other advice. In general, they are two different types of...
