Let us say I wanted to just work on skills. And to keep things varied I decided to do "rep's" of all the basic essential skills.
What would be your skills workout if you were a beginner. I know I should work on routine and presentation but I have one more month of sleepless nights where my mind has to be on my job mostly. Here is Balducci's list. Sleights: Vanishing a coin or other small object. (Retention vanish, French drop, etc.) Switching a coin or other small object. (Bobo switch, etc.) Producing a coin or other small object. (Many methods) Double lift. (Probably the most useful of all card sleights.) Palming a card. (But you may spend a long time on this, only to find there are many other ways of doing the effect.) Forcing a card. (Many ways of doing this -- slip force, cross-cut, Hindu shuffle, etc.) Controlling a card. (In-jog, pass, etc.) Tricks: Two in the hand, one in the pocket. (Can be done anywhere, with just about anything.) Cups and balls (Most consider this essential; I spent months learning a routine only to discard it -- I NEVER do the cups and balls.) Cut and restored rope. (Classic method, Sandsational method, etc.) |

Did you mean to say this is Peter Marucci's list? This appears to have been taken word-for-word from one of his posts on another thread.

Yes Yes ! it is Peter Marucci's list word for word. No wonder you are grammar host.
Are you game to add or modify the list? I think I have an addition that isn't a sleight. "Taking the heat off a dirty hand" It is amazing to watch the different muscles doing a job I don't want them to. I hope I am making sense. I swore I wasn't going to post till the season died down. I hope everyone is working and happy holidays. |
