I am doing some research into magical gestures used in card magic.
What do you prefer to do in order to bring about an effect - click your fingers over the card or blow on the card? Or something else? Vote now.

I like to snap my fingers and twitch the hand that is holding the cards.
Then I slowly do the reveal. I think it's a nice ensamble put together, as the snap and twitch are fast, but the revelation is slow.

I like to fart over the cards. It just adds a certain element of surprise to the effect. I love the looks on their faces...Priceless.

Projectile vomitting is nice, but only at a ladies tea. Otherwise, I just usually clutch my chest, fall to the ground, and soil myself. Sorry, it works for me.
Life is a test. It is only a test. If this had been a real life, you would have been given further instructions on where to go, and what to do.

Ah yes, sorry for not crediting, but the infamous gas pass was invented by Frank (and Beans) Starsini.

Cutting a small artery, and spraying everything with blood is truly magical. And like vomit, no one asks to inspect your props afterward. If you work in restaurants, check with management before doing this. Some managers get really anal about things like that.

Not for me. I open with cigarette up the nose, but haven't learned the sleight of hand method yet.

I just show them the tops of the cards. Even the slightest shadow over the cards seem to tell some anal people that I messed with the cards.
