i liked that its the best variation i seen
That trick sucks, I don't mean your version, I just mean that that trick sucks even when Dan and Dave Buck do it. It doesn't look magical. On the positive side you showed some good creativity and originality, I would suggest focusing that on a more deserving trick, or just creating a trick from scratch. A magic trick shouldn't be about "look what I can do," it should just be amazing. If you had just forced a card and built up the moment saying "watch this!" etc., then did that last vanish of just that one card, and then you paused and slowly turned around and had a duplicate sticking out of your back pocket, that would be a thousand times more magical. To sum it up, everybody stop doing this trick, there's no point in polishing a terd.
Wait, are you referring that just because a excellent magician publishes, you automatically suggest that its perfect, whereas your opinion will instantly be inferior? That depends on your experience as a magician and the artistic choices your making.And we are all MUCH more creative and talented than the originator of this effect, not to mention the fact that we have a much greater understanding of magic in general.
Bill Goodwin- Pfft.

Magic is as we all know an art form, this means whats good for you might be bad for another. 2 extremely good magicians will think differently about effects, example? I know guy who thinks that Open Travelers STINK, though he's one today's top cardmen, and knew Larry Jennings, personally, quite well.
Cheers, I'm getting ready to be flamed.
Its not about the vanishes, this is not the point here.I have performed this several times, some find the vanishes magical while some don't. Try to convince everyone, and you will surely fail.
Actually, not at all, since the effect is presented as if the cards ACTUALLY GO to the deck, rather than disappearing in mid air. That makes all the difference.Based on your perception, going into a collectors effect is plain ridiculous as well. So, any ideas?
I love you man, you crack me up! You're so protective of these guys. I am too, it's awesome that they feel comfortable posting their own version of tricks for feedback. I know he wouldn't have posted the video unless he thought it was awesome. I'm not out to put people down, but so many kids want to be Dave and Dan Buck, and that's understandable, they're cool, but I really think someone like Wayne Houchin is a much better role model for them. His tricks are within their technical ability, not to mention they're better tricks. Not that I'm into pulling string out of my eye, but a trick like Indecent is so powerful. You do a trick like that and people will think you're awesome, that's magic. Here's a challenge for you guys, try making this trick as magical as possible without using any of the vanishes taught by Dan and Dave. Just see what you can come up with. We can have a little competition and see how other people approach creating a magic trick. I'll be in on this too, I'll post a video and you can see my approach to magic. I'd love to see what you guys can come up with. Would you guys be interested in something like that? Whoever wants to do it just let us know. Seeing how different people approach magic is important, so I hope a lot of people try this. If you want in on this just post that your in and try to have your trick ready by the end of December. I bet you some of these Theory11 guys would even put up prizes. Maybe we don't want prises, this should be as nonthreatening as possible. Whatever you feel comfortable with. The important thing is this could be a really good learning experience. This is not like school where someone's going to laugh at you if you mess up, everyone here just wants everyone else to be the best they can be. Besides you'd have to post a video, so you can do it until you get it right if you have to. What do you guys think? Do you want to try this little experiment?
