Thank you for all gthe great suggestions and stories! They are really helpful. You know, I DID contemplate doing a cards across effect (PH's Las Vegas Leaper) but for some reason, in my mind it didn't feel like something that would get a good response from a group of high school students...

That's what I did (performed for a few people afterward) but not to fix a reputation... just because I felt obligated to show them something they would really like. Normally, I am a guy who does a lot of performance piece magic. Flowing effects with rehearsed patter and technique... but with...

Naaaahhhhh... :)

Slink looks very good, and Bent looks fine too... but Touch, at least the clip the demo showed, looks standard.

This is the most hilarious thread I have read in a very long time.

This happened to me today and it honestly left me in the dark. I've never really experienced such a thing before. Today at school, in Civics class, the teacher asked me if I wouldn't mind performing an effect just before class ended that day. Naturally, always loving to perform, I agreed...

Ooh good clue! ;)

DON'T SAY ANY MORE THAN THAT! Let's see some grovelling :).

So right... I've went through this type of thing a while ago. Unless you've got years and years of audience testing, devlopment, research, professional notes, gimmicks, etc, there's no way you should even consider marketing this idea, ESPECIALLY if it is only a half-decent idea. Think about it...

Of course you do, because I told you what it is :)

Wow, thank you for the mention. And believe me, given the circumstances that were unforseen (had to change my act last minute), I was also extremely nervous even though I've competed a couple of other times without a hitch. I thought you did a great job and I was sorry to see the rope mishap...

You're likely not qualified to teach magic anyway, so I wouldn't go that route.

Oh yeah? Well I own FOUR... absorb THAT! Nobody really cares how much any of us own or that we own any at all. Also, try to be less rude in the future please, for the sake of keeping the forums clean and civil. And why do you seem to take such offense to being called a novice? There's no...

My have never clumped on me. If your hands are at all dirty or sweaty then yes, any deck will clump up in minutes. But I'm peculiar in that way and always scrub my hands down before I handle a deck of cards.

Those of us who have decks understand the hype :) they are AWESOME.

That's a very kind compliment coming from you! :)

The cover doesn't have to be as explicitly displayed as in the demo. The jacket or another object could be in frront of the magician obscuring the dirty work during the levitation, and with a proper prop justification and presentation, it could easily fly (no pun intended). Off the top of my...

Exactly! The jacket doesn't have to be directly implied as a component of the effect. Is can simply be: Magician removes jacket, holds it natrually by his side, suddenly ascends into a vetical levitation (no attention has been given to the jacket at all), magician descends, gets frightened...

Probably not going to happen, but Chris Kenner's Torn Asunder would be nice.

Thank you for back-up proof!!! :)
