IC, thanks. So are they easy to read, or do you have to learn what they mean first?

I'm going to assume that this does NOt use any kind of glasses, or lensesfo you to see the markings. That being said, might I ask what the markings look like? If you could compare them to another deck marking system, would you say they are read like Wild's deck, or they are a variety of marks...

That does sound good, mind you, there have been a few vanishing deck to selection effects before. Take a look at Exit 51.

It's funny that the ones from Mesika are actually being sold for ess, lol. So basically, they have a name brand that they sell for less than their OWN brand.

Yeah, a flourish that you have no name for, verses an effect which can be described precisely in a few words, or at least searched under a specific category, ie mentalism, and then subcategory, prediction, peek, book test, etc, big difference. With forums like this, where we have some of the...

Generally, then, it would not be yours to teach. Sharing your thoughts on it is one thing. Mind you, many magicians share effects they have learnt else where from someone else, or from some book. Generally, I feel it is best not to go step by step over an effect that you learnt in someone...

Actually, you'd be surprised how many print releases are available on the P2P services. I once checked to see if a release of my own was finding its way on to them, and, yup, it was, along with everything from Harris' AoA books, almost all of Vernon's work in print, and even the smaller...

Well, if you can fold a card perfectly without anyone noticing, then yup, it's impromptu.

It's called reinventing the wheel. It happens all the time, as one could imagine. A similar occurance, but more rare, is simultaneous independent creation. This is where two people come up with the same thing around the same time. In both situations, it really depends on what you want to do...

See Juan Tamariz live, performing for magicians. You WILL feel that wow again. I am not talking about the things you see him do on youtube, but watch him work for magicians, he will fry you.

I have found one of two things happen. Teach them a simple trick, ie; a key card principle or something, and they will learn it, and then they will MAYBE learn something else, and that is it. Their interest will fall, or they will just play with that and nothing else. OR They will...

Yeah, I'm not sure what your friend is talking about. He may be viewing things in a very narrow manner, confusing effect with method.

So what is the system?

Keep in mind, you must be prepared to put in quite a bit of effort for a lot of the effects in the book. Sure, it's not Marlo WITH tears, but still some advanced work.

This book teaches The Reformation, Guy's phenomenal torn and restored card. As well, he has some incredible routines and ideas based around the move for Waving the Aces. For advanced card magic, it is one of my favourite books. He has some out side the box thinking for a signed card at truly...

LOL, I'm sorry, I found the analogy hilarious. Does no one remember the "free speech boxes"?

Shouldn't it be called Risen then? Any who, sounds like a slow-motion visual Raise Rise type of effect. If it's impromptu and as visual as the in the box elevator type ones, then i'm sold.

You could have the original card, the one that is torn, signed, but due to the change, it really makes signing the card serve no purpose what so ever. Really, think about it, if you saw it done, and u signed the initial card, and in the end it changed to a completely different card, wouldn't...

And don't forget Pothole.

Black Hole is great. So are Hollow, and Hollow 2
