    Dangerous or Surfaced? Help please.

    I have both. I like both; but, while I can perform tricks from Dangerous easily now, I think it will be months before I can reliably perform a clip-shift... How dexterous are you? -Allen M.

    Surfaced by Chad Nelson

    Any pm on establishing/practicing the clip portion of this would be appreciated. I have noticed videos of some folks doing the clip shift bending the pack excessively, and I do realize some benefit by doing this; but just getting the first 2 steps down right is tough- I just don't want to get...

    Coin Bend Help!

    There's a Joe Porper effect called folding money that results in a bent coin... You can see it here It's a pricey gimmick though... No experience with it, either... HTH, -adm

    I'd say the packaging qualifies as fancy- Includes color booklet as well. I don't see any real reason to excessively bend or crimp the pack...

    Ok, acronym-challenged old man at work here... What's an ACR? To try to answer your question it will be VERY useful in other effects... An example is outlined on the DVD using the clip shift to control a dribble-selected card to the top of the pack...

    clean hook is certainly a flashy, Dan and Dave-esque effect; but, most are a little less "MTV"... The sleight itself will be used for ALL KINDS of effects... HTH...

    I have NOT reviewed the full performance of all the included effects; but, here is a synopsis... Free Fall A protruding chosen card visibly falls though the deck, ending up in the hand of the spectator... And then returns to the top of the deck. fourplay Chosen card turns face-up in...

    As I am just returning to magic after a long absence, I am probably not the best judge of difficulty; but, here goes... It will be a little tough for me to master; but, I think it is easier than many of the effects on Trilogy. Many Dan and Dave effects are beyond what I would consider...

    Surfaced - First Impressions

    Arrived in yesterday's mail- came in a USPS flat-rate Priority Mail envelope. One additional note- Some of the instruction is performed with a clear plexiglas block in lieu of the deck of cards- a nice touch allowing great visibility of all fingers in the video. -adm

    Surfaced - First Impressions

    OK, I do not claim to be the finest card magician on this forum- In fact, I am just returning to magic after a 25 year hiatus. By my observations, my fingers are ancient compared to most users on this site; but, Dan and Dave surprised me by how fast the disk arrived and it is indeed signed by...
