England 1328 Posts Posted: Jul 21, 2006 7:11am       Hi Danny, A number of your effects have been mentioned but not my favourite... Grandpa's Deck. It's a great take on the 'Phil' deck idea where someone chooses the name and that the name on the back of their freely chosen card. I like the idea of Grandpa using the deck as an aid to memorizing his grandchildren which is why the cards have all got names on them. Is this still available and how did the routine come about? Jon Watch the brilliant new effect, Rule of Three: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9CytuXsCbL0 and order it from www.onlinemagicshop.co.uk Order the bar-raising DVD set 'Connection' at www.onlinemagicshop.co.uk Flexion: the new key bending routine that takes this effect to a whole new level! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JBsa8sQdqzQ jdbach Regular user Southeast 172 Posts Posted: Jul 22, 2006 8:37pm       I agree this is a fine trick and would like to hear about the development too!\ Regards, Joe Danny Archer V.I.P.

This is an effect that I purchased the rights to from another magician (who I shall not name) because after I paid him cash for the effect and began to market it, I discovered that what I had bought was a Stephen Tucker creation ... he had sold me a trick that was not his to sell ... I contacted Mr. Tucker (a very clever inventor!) and then paid him as well for the rights ... Grandpa's Deck is by the far the cleanest and most magicial of all the deck/name tricks because the spectator freely names a card and then picks the man's name ...
