excellent! And you are exactly right

I totally disagree with your post! As a matter of fact, I have more people wanting to see coin magic than card magic. I must admit, I do more card magic, routines that is. But watching David Roth, are u kidding me? Like being at a theatre and hoping this movie will never end. To watch coins melt...

mistasocka's I here you, do you perform hofzinger plot? if so, which do you like the best?

Arnaud Chevrier's take on the Hofzinser Plot. Interesting handling although I like the Buck twins version a little better. What about you guys? thoughts? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HcOzeMre0Ns

Thanks guys for the remarks, thats all I wanted this to be was for people who wanted to converse and help each other out. aceofhearts, you can find jack carpenter's routine which is his handling of reset off of his 2 volume set called the ' The Magic of Jack Carpenter", and yes the ending...

John, excellent idea! A guy by the name of Gary Plants who is one of the top Card men around has a similar handling. I am not sure if you have heard of him, but he is outstanding with a deck of cards. He now lives in Texas, and makes Gaff Cards on the side. He is a science teacher at a high...

Sigh....what point are you trying to prove? Just someone who gets on here and bad mouth's others? Sigh... I prove my point! You will love next week's clip Just for you eddie, just for you!

eddie, so we are seeing who gets the most posts? Is that what this is about? And what is this , good luck with your clip of the week, I am not selling it, I thought those who would like to talk about could. It is for those who want to respond, not lets see how many replies you get from it each...

thanks slevin

Well excuse me eddie, which is also my first name. First of all that was not me performing, secondly, if you dont like it then dont watch because I will continue to put up classic effects, and guess what, this happens to be laymens that I perform for favorite trick. We are all not superstars...

this weeks Card Magic clip of the week includes probably my favorite plot in Card magic. RESET! This effect in the clip is a version of the wonderful French Magician Babel. I perform Reset about 5 different ways on a regular basis. How about you guys, what is your favorite method for this...

I am pretty sure that it is in the Ascanio Series, I will check to make sure

This effect also goes by the name "La dama inquieta", SORRY ABOUT THAT!

webtech , I have to agree with you on this one! cERTAIN EFFECTS ARE VERY HARD TO UNDERSTAND IF WE DON'T HAVE THE PATTER. NOW, I DO SEVERAL EFFECTS SILENTLY, AND I HAVE EXPLAINED THAT IN ANOTHER POST, BUT THIS ROUTINE REQUIRES PATTER FOR SURE. I USE TO DO THIS EFFECT ALLOF THE TIME. I ACTUALLY...

regular bikes!

Samuel, good question, I have always performed this with no patter. Thats just me. I think if you could develop a presentation then yes it could even be that much more stronger. You have to remember when laymen see this it is not the type of routine they are used to seeing. I always tell them...

Aron, nice job man! I really enjoyed it

Guys, and Gals, I thought I would put up a clip of the week of some Card Magic found on the net. Every friday a new clip. We could discuss the routine as far as its history, the performer, whether we do this particular effect, whatever. The first one here is "The Restless Lady" perdormed by...

I like this routine for some reason, dont ask me why. lol! Does anyone know the name for the switch at the end? It looks like a mexican turnover kind of. And can anyone help with the technique or where to find the move. here it is http://youtube.com/watch?v=UibvXLFwo2Y

I was going through some old tapes that I have in my Magic Library all last week and came upon Doc Eason's 3 volume set. There is some great commercial Card magic on those tapes. Routines I used to do when I was working behind the bar. If you guys get a chance, and if you have those tapes, go...
