Hi Danny,
I perform your "Alien Invasion" almost every weekend , and needless to say it always gets a GREAT response. Would you care to share your creative thought process in developing your effects. Alien Invasion is entertaining, as well as having meaning and a reason for the mechanics of the effect. Grandpa's Deck is another effect that plays very well all of your effects........(Eye Exam too)

Hey Dave,

Alien Invasion started as a trick called Look A Likes (sp? … done with regular playing cards) ... I used to demo this at Phila. Magic and my patter story evolved into a story about Aliens …

After I had custom printed Eye Exam, I thought that Alien Invasion would be a good follow up … the trick is not one of my best sellers but I have many magicians that use it regularly and by replacements all the time …

It demands a quieter performing environment but presented properly it packs a wallop …

I use a small hand help “space noise maker” that adds a lot to the atmosphere of the trick …
