theory11 — Magic Tricks & the World's Finest Playing Cards
This is not to be mean, but you are really showing your ignorance now. You're comparing a simple sleight that is easily learned in a beginners magic book, to a seriously kick ass routine that has been tried and tested for years!
Good day gents...
I just wanted to take a couple of moments to comment on what i've been reading about some of my work. To those who seem to like this effect, thank you. It's a workhorse routine directly from my walk-around repertiore. It's actually a part of a much longer routine, inspired by both Curtis Kam's Sandwich Mov-A-Thon and Joe Rindfleish's Tossed Up Sandwich. What you see in this video is only one of several applications for the production of a selection from between two other cards. Many more variations yet to be discussed...
To those of you who saw the video, and weren't impressed, I'm sorry it doesn't look as good on camera as it would if we were face to face. As stated elsewhere on this site, this routine is quick, visual, modular, practical and most of all magical. If this isn't your cup of tea, I'm sure I have other ideas coming through this amazing site that may suit your tastes. If not, thanks for taking the time to watch the video and post your thoughts. Your comments, both good and adverse, stimulate my thought process.
Please keep the CONSTRUCTIVE critiques coming, and thank you all for making me feel at home here @ Theory11.
