Been a while since I posted about this on here (probably many pages back) but have been working on this and have come up with the best working and handling for this effect yet...and there's been ALOT of different gimmicks constructed and experimented with over the years.
I never did release this but I see people putting out "2.0" versions of things so I decided just to skip from the first version straight to the "2.0" one!!!! As I mentioned before, this used a "seven card gimmick" but I found a better and much easier handing that uses a ONE card gimmick. Easy to handle and Pretty much invisible in the deck. I say it's a "signed folded card to sealed sugar packet" but the gimmick/handling allows the folded card to be secretly loaded into anything sugar packet size. It can be two mini playing cars taped together (on all 4 sides) a sealed "mini wallet", two taped mini business cars (actually your magic info could on or in any of these), etc. The spectator can tear the sugar pack open...but on the other types (mini card or wallet) I have a small (1/8") slit on one end and found it's easier if I tear it open and let them remove the folded card and keep everything. They see both sides of this and the card really is sealed in there! The gimmick(s) are simple to make...I'd include one but it's really simple 'n easy to make your own (any kind of playing cars as long as it's poker size) as needed...but a gimmick will last a long time. The handing I'm using involves the deck changing color and while they think that's the effect...it ends with their card in the packet. Easier to do if they think you're doing on kind of trick while setting up the other. And it sets up and works easy. Of course you can taylor the handling and routine to fit your style and ability. With my hands I have to keep it really simple! Have some "ideas" of how this will be offered...written and photo instructions and maybe with the video "work" explained on YouTube but in a way that only those that have it will understand...in other words, a lot of double talk and lies!! Just an idea anyway. I worry about the quality and cost of making DVDs (heard some bad results stories). Will post more as I get this together!! |

Nonvpro...thanks for the PMs! I checked the PMs yesterday before posting on here and realized it'd been weeks (and weeks) since I'd been on here to check 'em. I figured that last post about the effect was long buried back in the pages. I will keep up with everythings now that I have this ready to go. Thanks to the new PMs today and the offers to have this reviewed when ready.
Next thing is to make a video demo of this and post it on here. At least just a "me and the camera" kind but maybe a live performance also. Should mention that when I have this ready (gimmicks made and video explanations ready) I'm going to include three other effects that I came up with and have used in real world work over the past 10-15 years or so. All you pay is extra shipping, handling and processing...(just kidding there!! You know those TV ads where that ends up being another $15-$20 or so!!?) No..I'm thinking the whole package will be in the $30 range and that'd include shipping. I'll see after it's reviewed and the video demos seen. |

Tom didn't take pre-order money and then vanish. Sounds like he was working on bringing it together and that was only back in December.
Still VERY interested here!! |

Yep! Found two (count 'em) updates of posts I've made on here about the stuff I'm working on and like I updated on the other one...I'm working on getting all this together now!
Does take some time to get everything(s) together and get the instructions and DVD together with performances and how-to's, etc. Sure not trying to "work the crowd" or want to ever take any pre-order money. Let's just let this go until I have stuff really ready (NO posts by me either!) and can have some videos of the performances and more info to share!! |
