Hello- Im wondering if any of you guys work with gaffed cards in a routine- whether Red bicycle gaffs, Ghost gaffs or ultra gaffs, im wondering How do you incorporate them midway in a routine?
i was thinking, I'd let the spectators shuffle the deck first (and let them inspect the cards one by one) and leave the gaff cards in my pocket then i'd do a derren-brown-esque mind reading thing and put the deck back in my pocket.
i'll patter for a bit, pull the deck back out (with hopefully the gaffs either on top or bottom) and place them wherever i need to. (e.g. on top or bottom, etc)
Obviously this resolves a lot of things, such as if im using a ghost deck and i wanted to do some gaffs (with including the box as part of the routine) i'd let everyone examine/shuffle the cards as much as they want before the trick starts just to show that i am perfectly Fair. It also gives them familiarity with the pip colours etc etc.
i was just wondering if you guys have a similar idea on how to accomplish this, i dont tend to rely on palming by the way, im not confident with palming. =/
