Hmm. Casanova Concept has something along the lines - Casanova Closer, and the reviews are very positive, have a search around the forums..

Here's an idea. Look for them yourself, find the ones that work for yourself, and make them "hard-hitting"! In all honestly, looking for the shortcut by asking for "best of" effects isn't gonna do you any favours, and 95% of the time will not get you the most hard-hitting effects you can...

Sigh. Already been mentioned.

Find me an Erdnase tutorial on YouTube, put the two side by side, and tell me the difference.

It's funny how many ignorant people there are - until E sells the product, that is. Since when are companies like E the sole standard for a product being known? That's sad, and it's not reflective of the companies, it's reflective of magicians. Agreed with Sean and chain. And no ninja, this is...

lol. 3 people who haven't read the entire thread (the first four posts of it - he found it out) and counting...

I completely agree with Sean_Raf. If you've been in magic for five years, and not only do you need a repertoire (which doesn't bother me so much), but you ask for one in the fashion of a beginner? Seriously, five years in magic and you're still asking for "hard hitting" books? You should know...

Thanks man - I've PM'd Church about things, now we have to get you to come to the next one too! :D I'll get you on MSN when I don't have an HSC exam tomorrow lol.

It's the white background that isn't working for me as is - on these forums, being black/grey, it looks like something someone could've made on Paint - on the other hand, as a signature or logo at the bottom/top of a white backed PDF, it would work better. But the inversion of colours in Mikk's...

Ah, crap. Sorry, I totally missed that one. Actually, now that I think about it, I think there's another one, not sure what it is right now though, I'll get back to you when I think of it..

Card Stunts is a good DVD, and the performance is just gold. Heinstein Shuffle is good but probably go for one of the other false shuffles.

The DVD is worth it if you're willing to put in the work. The clipshift is for many people the first truly difficult sleight they have learned. Its applications range from average to difficult. There are some nice effects, and the Clipshift has many applications, but just be warned you'll have...

It's not here, be patient guys. Things have to be uploaded to the server and obviously T11 can't predict the exact amount of time it takes to upload so that it exactly coincides with 11PM on the dot. They need a full-time mentalist for that.

The concept of Angle Zero, if I remember correctly, wasn't original...

I'm sure I remember one from a fairly popular/mainstream product where cards are dropped onto the ground... Ah yes. I had a look around for you, it's in Full Metal Jacket (Syd Segal & JC Wagner), "Even More Four on the Floor" - at D&D store.

Well, he did unmask... There's that whole things of suspense for a TV series too.

As a general rule, even if the spectators don't care, even if they don't realise, it often matters anyway. Why? Even if we are not consciously aware of the difference between method a and method b, even if we are not consciously aware of the psychology behind an effect, it's always there, and...

And yes, Outjogged Hermann can easily bring a card to the top. Aaron Fisher teachers a way in the 1-on-1 and the book, though you can come up with other ways to do it (convincing control-esque get ready comes to mind).

My bad. The point is to choose utility sleights rather than routines, which, ultimately, you'll find much more use out of (except for those who mindlessly copy routines straight off DVDs and barely know how to read).

Hey mate. There're quite a number of threads about this in the forum, have a forum search, that should come up with some more tips :) The one thing of Greg's I particularly agree with is that you have to have a lot of experience in cards to come up with something remotely different. If you...
