No J. Bayme video is complete without a Danny Garcia reference. "Magical Cards by Danial Garcia" On the floor laughing so hard, hot chocolate shot out my nose. Great effect, although the handling was a little sketchy, to be honest. If you don't know this effect, your not a card magician. Hehe. Buy it and Smile. -Mitch

After winning their trust with the biddle trick, you should do gator boots trick.

Mr.Bayme, you are quite an entertaining character. i was nearly in tears when i actually saw the nunchuckas. i thought they were just patterns on the close up mat- but when youa ctually pointed out that you have nunchuckas, i went "WTF?" and started laughing. Nice take on the biddle! will purchase it.

First the Classic Color Change, now the Biddle Trick, what's next for your 1 on 1, the quarter behind your ear trick or the pulling your thumb off your hand trick, or wait, how about the pull my finger trick!

Yes, and you're probably one of the people he addresses in the one on one when he says they do it very badly.

Sorry Sinful, free or not, I didn't download it. I already know how to do it Mr. moderator!

The Classic Color Change 1 on 1 was free.... Your going to complain about that? -Doug

I think Oz Pearlman's handling is way, way better because he gives a reason for the card to travel from the five cards to the deck, besides people actually "see" their card in the five cards AFTER they have the whole deck in their hands and that makes the effect much stronger. So, great idea from JB to teach the trick, but my suggestion is to look into Oz Pearlman's version, the only additional sleight you need to know is the tent (or Venezuela) vanish. 4/5

Serious question: JB, is there anyway that maybe we could work the nunchucks into the routine? I would really like to incorporate it, even if that means hitting the spectator with it after the trick is over, I just want confirmation that it recommended by yourself or other Theory11 staff/artists. -Tim

There is such a trick in which you can use nunchucks! The trick is called "Hitman". One of my favorite tricks...although using your hand to hit the cards from the spectators hand is a little more practicle. But, adding the chucks is a great idea. I'll have to see if one of my buddies is up to it.

i love watch Jonathan on presentation, it's freaken awseome ! This is one of my favorites tricks to do, but now, i wished never laerned (just because is JB) i got to say, i don't figure out the control at the first time, but is a great idea use the bluf pass ! J

JamesAV30517 years ago

yeah i would say that the presentation was pretty boring...

Dima17 years ago

What presentation? There was no excitement or build-up. Just counting the cards...

RXillusionist17 years ago

Awesomeness. I love the trick. Do it most everydays!

conjure_pitch17 years ago

I love seeing JB do 1 on 1's. more of these!

Jakeh17 years ago

LOL I thought he made the four cards like, vanish but after watching it again he just threw them.. hahaha

Ramo D.17 years ago

i just figured it out

Eddie17 years ago

Hahahaha. Hey guess what? You just saved $5 (apparently). Go use that saved money on a foot-long in Subway!

JamesAV30517 years ago

I love this trick! it kills and its so simple. Its the kind of trick that you can do at anytime with out worry that you will mess up or flash and is 100% impromptu. I like Oz Pearlman's handling much better, so if you buy this trick, i suggest that you look watch his presentation and see if that suits you better. I think it adds more suspense and is a lot more impressive that way. Victor Cruz

Two thumbs up! One of my favorite effects in magic.
