Hi everyone,

Just a note to say that I have released a brand new effect of mine entitled CTW which, as you have gathered by now, stands for Card Thru Window.

For further details of this new effect and to see a video demo please visit here

Thanks,

Dave Forrest.

That looks pretty nice.

Would you mind to elaborate on the length/difficulty or the setup? Do you end clean? How practical is it?

I'm seriously condsidering purchasing this effect.

Hi Matt,

Thanks for taking an interest.

Regards the length of the effect, it varies. The length will depend on presentation, and I include two different presentations with the PDF. One is more 'organic' than the other but both produce the same effect, the card travels through the window. It'll play for as long as you play it.

Difficulty: With practice the actual activation of the gimmick is easy as pie, but I think that the difficult part is how you present it. If we're talking sleights, there is nothing too outlandish. Basically, the gimmick does the 'through the glass' part, the rest is up to you. It is by no means difficult in execution though.

The set up is, as with all 'card thru window' effects, (I assume) pretty substantial. It is by no means an 'impromptu' effect. There is a version included with the PDF which means, in my experience, it can be performed more often, but either way, you will have to set it up ahead of time.

The effect ends clean as far as the spectators are concerned. They can retrieve the card from the other side of the glass and the corner, that they have held from the beginning, still matches.

As far as practicality goes, it is very practical. If you want to make it appear that a card just jumped through a window then it is very practical and very visual.

Yours,

Dave.
