Shadow Aces

Like others have said, I like the PREMISE of the effect. That's actually pretty creative and refreshing... The overall routine needs work though. Everything from handling to scripting. It was all really... unnatural. No one talks like that. And you always handled your doubles differently than singles. And your vanishes were unconvincing. And the reproductions were blatant. I recommend you look into Paul Harris' books to learn how the basic effect is supposed to be performed, and check out Wayne Houchin's videos to see how it's supposed to look. I hope that's constructive enough...

Brilliant idea! I may use some of this in my routines, under different premises. I do agree about the reveal though.

I really do like this idea. I think there are so many scripting opportunities with it such as "Placing it in the shadows makes it very hard to see, but maybe you can see it.... here let me make it easier..." The reveal of the cards i think made it blatantly obvious where the card was. I'd really consider changing the reveals for the cards. Other than that- really creative storyline!
