Just FYI for those asking. A linen finish when a paper is textured (embossed) with a patterned steel roller to resemble the weave pattern in various linens. You have probably also heard "Cambric Finish." Well a cambric finish is a type of linen finish. It is basically just so they can advertise...

Okay I hate to Hijack and old thread but I thought it might be better than starting a whole new thread on the same move. I too have been working on the SWE shift and had a question to pose to people with experience at this move. (BTW to the OP. I too had difficulty deciphering the text. I...

It is not a difficult move but it may take a while to get used to it. There is no prerequisite moves if that is what you mean. He teaches the handling thoroughly, covers a few applications of the move, and in a later booklet he teaches an effect, "Not Impressive," that uses the move. You will...

Thanks for the comments, glad to find someone else who enjoys these...perhaps even more than I do! I have yet to try "trey tables in upright position" but it does look promising. As for things that I have yet to fully appreciate, Lee Asher assures me that Pulp Friction is a more powerful...

Anglo Poker Edition : Final Week Update Well we are 9 hours into the second week and things have just gotten too bad to continue. The nice springy stock, the excellent scores on the 2+O, and the good scores on the single card glides were enough to tolerate the poor fans but those have...

I wouldn't necessarily disagree with any of this. If you are buying individually "The Big Deal" is a much stronger effect. I did like Elevation but I got it in Jay's "Different Side of Me" download package. You get about six different downloads for about $30.00. He has another download package...

Cansposed by Carl Leek: Search results for: 'Cansposed' http://www.penguinmagic.com/product.php?ID=S12158 Effect: This is the classic milk can illusion performed with a can of soda. Standard presentation, a spectator thinks of a drink and the performer brags that he predicted the drink...

I think you are right. I think the only way to know for sure is if the prices start to rise sharply. I know the Steamboats are selling fo $10.00 a deck or are out of stock at most places. Good indicator that they are gone for good. Kardwell still sells Arrcos for the same price they always have...

It's actually the rumors of the impending doom of the Tally Ho which prompted my thinking on this. My guess tells me that some guy, lets call him Magic Bob, calls up the factory and asks shift manager Joe Jabip if they are still printing Tally Hos, Joe looks out onto the factory floor and says...

Actually, while those effects may seem "Bizarre" they are not technically "Bizarre Magic." They would probably be classed as "Shock Magic." In terms of generally accepted magic definitions Bizarre Magic is magic that focusses its presentation around story telling. Tony Addruzzi (another Wyoming...

Thanks. I don't want to confuse anyone. What I am using is not a TKO. The device is very similar but from what I've read on this and other forums the TKO can't handle a full size pool ball. From what I hear the you can vanish an object with the TKO and have it produced from a pocket. The device...

@JB(or anyone else who can shed some light on this) Somewhat off topic here but you may have more insight into this than I. Arrco recently stopped being printed and there has been a lot of buzz about this. I have yet to get concerned about this because A: there is a heavy supply right now...

That makes a lot of sense. I think I'm trying to get "clean" too early and that's making the movement less smooth. Are you saying you are using a reverse pitch on the cellphone vanish? I'll have to try that. I'd be afraid of the antenna snagging on my shirt with such a dynamic move. On a...

Thanks for the trained eye. Like I say, in live performance these have done well with lay audiences but when I watch it on video it all looks painfully obvious...of course I know how its done. Actually, in live performance I do take the heat off the "green chip" and I resort to a more classic...

Here are a few vanishes I have been playing around with. Any constructive criticism is welcome. They have served me well in live performances though cameras are a bit less forgiving. http://www.vimeo.com/12820900

Okay thanks for that info.

So would you say a pool ball is pushing it?

What's the largest item that could be toppited?

Sorry...I only had about 10 minutes to type it up. I'll try harder next time.;)

Close Cover Before Striking: Wipe Your Ace: This is a ace production from the deck. It is a sort of flashy “cut to aces” routine. The magician shuffles, cuts, and turns the top card over on the deck. It’s an Ace. He makes another cut and suddenly there is a face up ace on each packet. He...
