The Amazing

"You do know there's no cards, right?" - Haha, this made me laugh. :) Great reactions to such a great effect. My advice is the same as everyone else: work on your presentation, and you will have a true gem in your repertoire.

great reactions but have a persantation style of your own it seemed really bland to me the wow i found your card you got great reactions but there could have been so much more to this trick its a great effect

the reactions made me laugh. well done sir.

Thank you all for your support and advice especially for the long essay Dave wrote. The comments are very helpful. This is not me performing by the way, my name is Anthony. I will definately get Luke to read these wonderful comments. P.S. I LOVE black people as well. I love performing to them. =] Anthony Nguyen

Great reactions from the crowd. Nice trick! 5/5

I love black people, their reactions to magic are always great. Is that a degrading comment?

nice trick, great reactions i bet u made their day i like the guy's imaginary shuffling technique, hahah

I'm sorry, it posted twice

Nice reaction- the 'sillyness' of picking an invisible card of of an invisible deck and then the contrasting reality of a card being turned over in a separate deck most definitely caught them off guard. If I may, having your deck (the one we can all see) sleeved and showing that "things are not as they seem" or "and you thought I was just messing around" then showing that you "materialized" the deck has yet to fail me. I've also used the bit as an 'intro trick' to an ambitious card and saying "Well since not everyone saw that," 'materializing' the deck and saying "here, look, one card is turned over". Then the deck switch and we use the same card for the ambitious routine. I used this presentation for a group of local kids who were incredibly involved in their church (not that there's anything wrong with that) only the patter was quite different. I pulled out a quote from Corinthians II, which happened to be the topic of a Western Religion class lecture that I was actually awake for: "We see with our faith, not with our eyes." Well when that deck was there all of a sudden, between my hands, I could have knocked anyone over with a feather. I did like that you were comfortable enough to let the spectator turn over the card atop the deck as it does lend people to remember having touched the real deck. I must admit, I typically turn the card over or cull it from the deck and then let them turn it over. Your handling was so that there was contact for the spectator yet a deathgrip on the deck itself as to avoid them going through it. I'm going to try that next time I'm in the lounge. Dave

Thats wassup. Just an idea though..When i perform this effect, when i tell them to give me the deck back I have the real deck palmed in my hand so when i reach over it "appears". Just try and do it as smooth as possible. It makes the reactions better in my opinion but overall great performance.

nicely done

haha great trick love it:P great reactions to good stuff man

That was pretty good, but nothing special. 3/5 from me. Where were you performing, it looks familiar to me.

invisible decks kill!! awesomely done man. dont really see why you needed to turn around though lol :P

Great reactions, man, lol on my head, lol. 5/5 from me.

Wow, great reactions!

"on my head...?"

i thought you messed up there. put the patter and everything seemed pretty book-based.. got good reactions though. well done

Awesome reactions,man.5/5
