    This trick is definitely not an impromptu trick, but I still think it's great. As soon as I finish with the gimmick, it's on! I agree that it is not entirely practical. I call tricks like this, an "opportune" effect. You simply just have to use your head a little to improve the set-up of the...

    Show us your business card!

    My business card is simple, elegant, and professional. It is printed on the most expensive card stock I could find. It's a soft eggshell white. It's got my name, my phone number, and my e-mail. It says underneath my name, Sleight-of-Hand Expert. It also has a watermark. That is it, but it...

    I'll tell you what, I do not regret buying the trick at all. It's a unique concept by a very obscure and creative artist. However, I personally have never performed this simply because I cannot make the gimmick well. I've tried at least 10 times to make it to no avail, before I ran out of the...

    One Way Forcing Deck - UK Help

    Oh nice, I didn't realize you had such a choice of different types of one way force decks. While we are on the subject of specialized gaffs, does anybody know where you can get a specific or custom double-faced card?

    Digital Dissolve - Problems and Suggestions

    I own DD myself, now I am not sure if my gaffs are defective. Without exposing much, lets just say that I have only performed this trick standing, with the spectators looking straight down at the coins with amazing results. The only time I ever had a problem with this effect was when I tried...

    Pinned

    Interesting, I have always been a fan of time itself being associated in a plot.

    Glass by Adam Grace

    Most of the effects on the DVD require a quick setup, and I mean a very quick setup. I'm talking like maybe a minute tops. A few like Stained Glass and Dots Be Gone require no setup.

    Glass by Adam Grace

    Great questions! There is nothing gaffed about the dry erase marker or the glass. The two pieces of glass that come with the Glass Accessory Pack are perfect squares approximately 2 and 3/4 inches in length and width. The two pieces are very professionally sanded down at the edges for safe...

    Glass by Adam Grace

    Before there was Frozen and Ringtone, there was Glass. I'm sure that most of you on these forums are familiar with just how creative Adam Grace is. However I was genuinely shocked when I searched these forums and I did not find a review for Glass. I decided to take on the task of writing a...

    The best rising card deck?

    The particular rising card that David Blaine does, I believe, is nothing more than a standard rising card deck that you can get at any magic retail shop. However to make it as effective as Blaine does you need to do two simple things. (Don't worry guys, I am not going to expose the workings...

    A Logical Lesson by J.C. Wagner and Syd Segal

    Yeah, good point. I have thought about the structure of this trick a bit. In a way, it would be good if they did see something a bit out of the ordinary. You could easily recover with a simple remark like, "Good, you're paying attention! Let me ask you, what would 7 plus 3 equal?" So in a...

    A Logical Lesson by J.C. Wagner and Syd Segal

    Hey guys, I just began playing with this trick today, and it seems like it would be very strong for laymen. The only thing that worries me is the display for the packet of threes and sevens at the beginning. I have never been a fan of that particular count. Every time in the past when I tried...

    Paul Harris' Bizarre Twist Variation

    That was bad ass! I think I will start practicing that, if you don't mind. That is a nice sequence and a great way to use that particular color change. Great job!
