Hi magicians, I'm reading the "Strong Magic", and I have a question to share with you.
in 3/4 across effect by Greg Wilson, I was wondering to put some progression in the presentation, and the way I think to do that is to weak the first part by doing some suspicious moves like put my two hand togheter for a while. then it will increase more in second part, and still more in the last part for the climax. you think that weaking the first part in this suspicious way gonna work? Darwin talk about weaking the first part of the trick, but he don't talk about doing suspicious moves... wainting for comments... thanks! |

Surely it would be better to make the later moves suspicious, in order to incorporate a sucker element? eg pretend to do a false transfer, get "burned", show that the coin is still there, and under cover of "so you don't trust me", get them to hold your wrist, doing a steal as you demonstrate it.

Keep trying different ideas. One day, something will stick and you'll know that it's the best way for you to do it.
The most important thing is that you're studying. That's better than most do. After studying, decide on what you'd like to do. And have a reason for the way you do it. Later you might change the way you do it for another reason entirely. Just keep thinking. Even about the simple effects.

Yep, you're defenitely on the right track.
Keep in minfd that IF you decide to "touch hands" in a phase, make certain that you do it slow and crystal clear. You want to give them a false solution that they themselve have to rule out in the end.

The reason I personally dislike 3/4 across and Mr Clean Coin Across is this, it doesn't have much drama inbuilt into the routine. No build, no climax, nothing. It seems to bland for me. If you want to use those across, keep the thing that made it special, clean, quick, direct, impossible.

That's a strong effect. I would not discount it.
In fact, for impromptu, it's probably better not having a story to go with it. That would make it seem too contrived, in my opinion.
