Another oldie from Tamariz you guys might not have seen. If you don't like packet tricks with cartoon characters give this a miss. If mythological characters are your thing worth a look.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0JRDO4zdG6w Not the best performance by yours truly but adequate enough to post. I left out a few lines. The effect was originally produced by a company in Madrid. Maybe Spanish members of the forum will be able to confirm if the effect is still on the market. Paul. |

Nice...
The facts/information/knowledge gain is one good aspect about the illustrated effects. In this effect it is about Mythological characters. This effect is there in the DVD by Juan Tamariz 'Lessons in Magic Video series' Vol-3. swamy |

I think I have seen this effect before I've always liked it. It's like a different approach to anything a spectator has ever seen.

Very nice presentation Paul.
Where did you get the cards from? Are they hand made? Craig

Beautiful job Paul. I've always loved this as it's a card trick, but it won't be remembered as one. I made my own cards years ago when I worked for a printer. They came out OK, but I've been thinking about having them redone. Do you ever produce the real seahorse?

But now you mention that, it reminds me Daniel Cross used to market a floating seahorse did he not, in the eighties, early nineties? Or maybe I'm just imagining that. The Tamariz effect, production of the seahorse, which then comes alive and seems to swim in the air sounds neat. With ocean wave sounds in the background of course... |

The only version I've seen is on Juan's DVD and he produced a small seahorse from the fan of cards and gave it to a young lady.

You can get them artificially made by me in old style, I am planning to release this effect together with Juan Tamariz again, he was very interested, but it will take some times as there will also be a new DVD with it. Juan developed his version even further and still performs it!
The prototypes are already ready and can be ordered from me directly. If you like I can post a few of the images. And Paul: great performance!! Christian

Pepka, I've not seen Juan's DVD but that does sound like a great finish. Christian says above Juan continued to work on the routine over the years, the version I came across was obniosly the earliest version.
Re: " And Paul: great performance!! " You're kind Christian, in reality it was an adequate performance, I trip over my words occasionally, missed out a gag line and something else could have been better. But it served it's purpose, to bring it to people's attention. Since there was no exposure I was too lazy to reshoot it. And I've never seen Juan perform it, but I can imagine it is exceptional in his hands. So many good old packet tricks are unknown to some of todays magicians. Dan, thanks for adding that link to prove my memory is not as bad as I thought, and my apologies for spelling "Cros" with a double S. Paul. |

First of all, here is the original performance of Juan Tamariz that is available in Youtube, it is hard to find if you search for the Centaurs, I found it looking for Juan Tamariz videos:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5juunpU_TQU Paul, I am a German guy and happy to understand all you said. But as I do a lot of misspelling or use bad expressions I did not see any mistakes in your video  ...
Images come in a second, I print them on my old Heirloom card stock so I have to "simulate" this effect with Photoshop to show them to you correctly. They are available in two version, one for the world and one censored one for the USA (with bra on) !!!
BTW, the switch of the card is much more clever now, I did not see it even I knew that he was prepared doing it.

Thanks for the link, Christian. There are some nice subtleties in the performance and it was nice to see Juan doing the routine.

So here come the images of the cards for this effect, hope I do not destruct the layout here. If yes, I will make it smaller and will update it.
The second version with the mermaid shows the censored version.

I also have Juans DVD and was very charmed by his routine. Is always nice to see good story routines.
I'm looking forward to seeing Juans new DVD. The cards look great.

What do you think about the following? I would like to produce souvenir seahorses that you can hand out after showing the routine to a spectator. That would make it possible to keep a memorable moment of a strong magic effect. I heard so often that people kept playing cards or other produced "magic" items in their wallet.
At the moment I am searching for a most beautiful yet payable solution. Any ideas?
