What the name of the Haunted Deck?
I call mine Casper because I use white ghosts
Its ok brother , I already did some research and know how its done .
If you didn't come across the name of Al Baker, you didn't do enough research. Also, looking at tutorial videos on Youtube isn't really research. If you really want to do research, check
THIS out.
But this guy impressed me...
I'll grant you the shadow is somewhat creative, but the rest of the performance is what is horrible about today's magic. Despite his objection, he was doing TRICKS with say-do-see patter. It was "look what I can do" three times in a row.
Even the use of the shadow lacks any significance. Nobody believes his shadow did anything. I see this as a lost opportunity. Shadows have such innate power in our minds that goes back to our childhood. Why not draw on that rather than simply use it as a visual gimmick?
Oh, and don't get me started on the "perfectly normal deck" and "every card is different" -- why the heck can't magicians SHOW that without SAYING it. All that saying those words does is make the spectator suspect that THERE IS A METHOD but it just doesn't involve a deck where all the cards are the same.
Let's do the math - saying what you are doing + focusing the audience on the fact that there is a method + having no meaning greater than look what I can do = THE SAME TIRED OLD TRICKS. Magic is something completely different.
