Hiya Guys,
Now, before I start, here are a few things that need to be said:
1) If you bought this, or is you know how the effect is done, do NOT reveal it.
2) This post will be talking about impressions that were received from the TRAILER, not the effect DVD itself.
3) Of course, if you do know how it's done, feel free to mention any applications that become available due to learning this.
Alright. EDGE. If you haven't seen it yet, this is what it looks like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EDUkQvJSAJE
Pretty awesome, right?
So, having seen that, the first thing that came to mind isn't in fact using that trick to hide text, or change it, or do anything that was the main focus of the trailer. What interested me most, is that it looked like he had accomplished a sort of anti-faro, with the bare wave of the hand.
Now what this means is quite significant.
There are ways to mix up cards in a hidden manner. With a table faro (or regular faro), you could mix cards perfectly, to create a mathematical stack, and know the precise number of shuffles you need to do to get the hand you need. That was quite a revolution. Then there was the anti-faro, which allowed you to reverse the process.
And now, it appears that you can do that with a mere wave of the hand.
I don't want to go too much into detail into how I believe it's done (because I'm fairly certain I've figured it out, and if I haven't, what I've figured out is a variation of the move), since I really hope this post inspires you, and gives you more reasons to purchase the effect, which I will do as well, just in the hopes of learning something more which I may have missed.
And now, finally, here are the applications:
1) You can perform The Dead Cut with having the cards be put together and show that no breaks are in the cards.
2) You can chain table faro's and this move to create an illusion of a dead being shuffled.
3) Make giant fans quickly! (sorry, I love giant fans).
4) And far more, as experimenting with this move will show you.
So what are you waiting for?
Get EDGE, learn an awesome trick, and an awesome (anti)shuffle!
