Greetings.
I was looking at this effect, and have a question. Do the chips move "free form" or is there a guide persay? If you are familar with an effect called Die-Na-Mite, which is like most of these types of effects, except the spots are on a track so to speak. Thanks for any help! John |

John, the Cookie works on the same principle as "What's Next". No tracks; the chips move freely. I use this effect and get better reactions with it than I ever did with "What's Next".

Ok... one other question... do the chips end up in the same place each time, or do you have to pay attention to where they are placed? I think that makes sense.

This is an advantage over "What's Next?" I suppose. Nobody expects chocolate chips to be evenly spaced. But people DO expect printed dots on a card to be symetrical. So the cookie should be easier ... it requires less precision!

No, but neither should you fail to consider the details just because it's an easy-to-do trick. I've seen magicians do it pretty sloppily, and I think it rather gives away the effect ... or at the very least points the audience in the right direction. With "What's Next" and "Dinamo," the more precisely you can position the dots, the better the effect is.
With a cookie, however, the pattern is random and non-symetrical, so you can handle it more casually and work a little more freely. |

I agree that some magicians take this trick very lightly and that you need symmetry with your dots but how complicated is that?...I have a very nice routine which I've added nostalgic music and rhyming patter to which tells about me learning/buying my first trick...I'm now planning to add the Snow Leopard Vest because it strikes me as just a wonderful kicker to the ending of the Dinamo/What's Next effect...the cookie is a nice variation and would probably play very well with a look don't see and what's going on here kind of way.

But not us! Update on the Snow Leopard Vest...did more research and found that this won't work in regular lighting...oh well.

So make lemonade from that lemon ... get yourself a real snow leopard!

Is that what they make the vests out of? I wonder if these are out work animals from the Sigfried and Roy show?
