Hey man! I'm *still* out of town, barely got time to get online. I'll return in couple of days, got alot of new magic books too Cya soon ;)

Check out Alex Elmsely's One at Time Collectors ( its different, but very similar ) Pabular magazine ( sold as CD-Rom at Maritn Breese's website ). I think its in his Complete Works as well, though I don't have it. Thanks for the effect, Cheers,

It can be very long or very short, it depends on what you want. The important thing is that you present it properly. You can do it twice, 3, even 8 ( Darwin Ortiz ) or 13 ( Daryl ). The idea is the ACR should be around a given number of phases is not right. Do others routine, experiment...

Hah. Hey! Its Medifro's ghost! :P Here is my situation :P I'm in Italy now! :P Haha, We're here to re-stock our store ( mom's a retired teacher, runs a women-fashion store now ). When I feel bored, day or night, I hook up the internet at the hotel. I have problems with msn, though it...

Check Card College vol.3. Chr!s, Dingle's DL is a fake push off. Cheers,

If you mean using only a packet of cards instead of the whole deck, Larry Jennings was the first to do this with Ace to Five packet, look for Ambitious Classic ( Classic Magic of Larry Jennings book ). If you mean the aces rising to the top one at time, its been done before but different...

To get a good credit, if its a push off, then its Steve Draun's ( if that name rings a bell, you may know him from his midnight shift ) Push Off technique. Derek Dingle's DL got no actual push off. The revolve at the base of the thumb as the cards are turned face up stud fashion, is Martin...

Brian, I'm really intrested in knowing how many performances you do per week ..... Its easy to have thoughts in your mind, but to test them out is the real thing that makes them stand out. I didn't read any post ( I don't have the time, sorry :) ), but try to get a magician like Michael Ammar...

The effect itself is a mixure of two well known moves, though I never seen the effect before. Hey, how many times did you read a trick in a book and said "why didn't I think of that!" Lessen the tension on the deck. The handling is so rigid, just relax your hands, and do your stuff. As you...

Brianation, if you want to have a serious discussion, use mature words and be respectful. Honestly, if you're going with that attitude, how the heck do you expect to be taken seriously?! Flaming comes from immature people. You get alot of that because you are acting immaturely. Don't insult...

In Darwin's case, it advances the effect ( again, that was luck ). There are bad and good presentations. As you go on magic you'll see yourself. Get Darwin Ortiz's Strong Magic. Good luck.

You brought up an EXCELLENT point, and I'm glad you brought it up. Presentation is used to make the method practical. In other words, to cover up the bad points in the method. In that trick, Darwin Ortiz uses a sleight that MUST be covered by something, which in order to be logical, he MUST say...

I'm actually going to take another direction, and say that you simply misunderstood, and obviously went the wrong path because of this. Adding to the problem, many members here actually responded without this in mind, making things more and more complicated. Patter is a part of any act, even...

Hey man, long time no see :) I'm logging in way sooner tomorrow Friday, should be about early midnight your time. Hope to see you there :) Cheers, ~ Feras

The idea itself, of using hypnosis theme, is KILLER. I worked it out last year, and then later found it in Steven Youell's Weapons of Mass Destruction lecture notes ( amazing notes by the way!). I disagree with the part of them thinking its a joke. Delivering the patter nicely is needed ( as...

He didn't create the ACR, actually it was created by a French magician back in 1800s ( or late 1700s, source can be found in one of Jean Hugard's Card Manipulations books ). Vernon fooled Houdini with a double backer and a DL, as mentioned in Vernon's books ( and by his students ). I...

] Can you hold the deck in biddle grip, and make your right fingers cover the front end completely? If you can, then you can do it. If you have problems with this ( if you are very young :) ) try holding the deck in this way ( covering the front end with the right fingers ) while watching TV or...

It is a coincidence as Shadow782 said. I witnessed the publishing of these notes and these were before Madison got known ( at least to me ) On an intresting note, R.Shawn runs a VERY good online magic magazine, for FREE! check it out: www.online-visions.com Cheers,

! >__< ..... I don't need to show off man ( if I needed, then I picked the wrong way to do so ). I don't think I said pure philosophy, because I put real world examples of effects I actually perform. Anyways, My motive is to discuss .. Thats all. You have my sincere apologies if I...

How many laymen can do a double undercut :P As a card handler you are expected to handle cards well. Now before you misunderstand me, I don't go for all flourishy Buck Tudor Devo stuff, but here is something that explains it. You're doing an elevator routine, pattering about a circus. The...
