Thunderbird Twist

"One of the few routines I've been working on the past few months. Combining Lee Asher's 'Thunderbird Ace Prodcution' and Wayne Houchin's handling of Dai Vernon's classic 'Twisting The Aces'. Music by Roland Lim"

I understand your analogy, but for me it has worked during a live performance so I see no reason to change the twisting mechanism. Everyone has a different way of presenting an effect

I understand wanting to try something new... but it would be like a basketball player trying to do a pirouette before taking a three point shot and then saying, "I wanted to try something new." You need to be able to discern if what you are changing is changing it for the good, or for the bad.

Thanx for the interesting comments. I may have presented the effect in a slow pace (which I generally don't in a live performance) but I believe it gives a chance for the audience to be absorbed into the effect with a story behind it rather than just music in the background and no patter at all which most magic vids are done. My point was to put patter into performing a magic effect rather than just be lazy not give it patter. I am continuing to improve it as I go. As for the too many movements of the card, I didnt think it was too much plus I wanted to try something different than the usual "snap" and magically turns over.

I agree with tokyoUW, it was quite boring, and whatsup with all the cound when moving the cards... doing it one or twice is ok, but 10000 times?? it was very slow, i swear i yawned 3 times..the handling was ok but the whole routine was boring

To be honest... I fell asleep half-way through. In my humble opinion, you draw the effect out way too long. Twisting the aces has a better impact when done at regular speed, not super fast, not super slow. Yours was super slow.
