Hello MC,
Just thought I'd inform you about a new effect soon to be released. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eQyfQbESU_M S.C-A.R-E.D stands for "Self.Cutting-Always.Ready-Everyday.Deck" I'm a huge fan of the classic Haunted Deck Effect as I ashume most of you are to. However, through the years the impracticality of the origional has become aparent. A while ago, while on holiday (Very odd place to start I know) I met a couple who owned a British Bar. Each night I went into the bar a showed them a few different effects. However, I obviously didn't pack an aweful lot of effects. Up intill S.C-A.R-E.D was created, I had used a version of the Haunted deck called Spirit, Which is sold on http://www.Alakazam.co.uk. I have sworn by this version of the effect for a while now. However, I had not packed by Spirit gimmick. So, throuhout the last week of my holiday, I sepnt a few hours creating and perfecting a new version of the Haunted deck which could be done nearly anywhere and still look and feel the same as the previous Haunted Decks effects I had used. Then S.C-A.R-E.D was born. I have tried to take into consideration all elements of the real world performer and have attempted to adresse any problems that as magicians we may have come across with this effect. The advantages of S.C-A.R-E.D are: Any deck can be used 5 second set up No glue, or scissors are used in the origional methods No strings, wires or magnets No crimps or bending of the cards The advanced setup and handling allows you to spring the card from hand to hand and even shuffle the cards AFTER you have placed there card into the deck. There are different idea's on how to set the trick up during the routine. I feel as though this could possibly be one of the strongest methods for the Haunted Deck around. A release date is not yet set but as soon as it is set, I will of course forward you some more information. JamieD

There are indeed a few similar looking versions, It does look like Really Haunted. Really Haunted is a variation of Spirit. S.C-A.R-E.D uses a VERY different and more practicle method to creat the saem effect!

Two fingers must be on the ends of the right side of the deck, but you are barely touching them. The spectator can watch your fingers and see no movement. It's a truly great effect. Jamie forgot to mention that the Advanced Handling can be done completely surrounded. I can't wait for the release.

I love spirit!!!
and am a true beliver in the saying 'if it aint broke then don't fix it!' this has some interesting improvements so may give it a wirl depending on the price etc, Spirit is one of the greatest close up effects that a perform every week and all that for £12 Good luck with the release though! Ash |

Heya, Yes you do have to make contact with the deck however I am including a number or variations in which it will seem as though your meirly resting the deck on your hand and yet, it will still cut. The touching of the deck also allows a fantastic story to be added to the classic story. I have ofcourse covered this also.

Heya, I also love spirit and I think it's fantastic. I'm Sure you have realised (depending how often you perform) that the gimmick does wear down, I have spoken to a few magicians who have found this but still love the trick. My aim was to create a version in which you always had the special something on you all the time. Because there is no speical something. I'm also sure (Although I carried mine in my deck the majority of the time) that you don't always have "Spirit" on you. But now you don't have to. Because all you need is your deck. I still love spirit and without it S.C-A.R-E.D wouldn't have been created.
Hey Ustaad Glad you like the name. I have to credit the name to Angelo Carbone who very cleverly thought of it. JamieD

Heya, Yes what I mean by this is I wanted to make a version where nothing was added or taken from the deck. You don't need anything else other then a deck of cards.

I think "Really Haunted" was released before "Spirit" back in 2000. So "Spirit" just seems like a more expensive version of the exact same trick. Did Alakazam Magic rip off Doug Edwards?

Heya, I don't think it was a rip of. They both use a different version of the same gimmick. There is another version which unfortuanly I cant remember the name of which uses another version of the same gimmick yet. So I do not think its a rip of, Just a newere and more updated version

Hmmm So it is basically just Spirit or Really Haunted without the gimmick card?
I came up with a way to do that where you can gimmick a card in a few seconds. I think it is probably the same method. |
