Thanks! Yes, probably it was Eddie Feilds trick... that I saw on the TV.
That is why I said in my opening sentence (of my above post):- Quote:

Hi Rich,
Sure! I too look forward meeting you. I'll certainly let you know when I am in the US. Incidentally, I live 6 months in India & 6 months in the States (AZ - from July to Dec). It’s a small world! Best regards, Narendra

I am amazed the way professional magicians think. From the current ongoing threads I would like to mention three effects/ props that have really caught my attention: -
(a) The Chosen by Tony Chris - Great presentation idea(s) on an old classic. (b) Capture by Justin Miller - The only CIB where the Cap is made to penetrate the bottle while it is held in the spectator’s hand. (c) Coinvexed-2 by David Penn - Please see my latest post on the Coinvexed-2 thread. I consider them (ofcourse besides others ) to be Great Minds in Magic. Just my personal opinion.

I have used an id to accomplish the effect with the dice (received good reactions). However, as Tony stated (since I do not know yet), the chosen deck allows for a more free handling; I didn't know we can allow the spectators to handle the deck, that's crazy! Plus the concept of putting any design on the back is a nice touch, I think it will work out really nice with the pool trick I described.

Thanks to Ustaad, Rich and everyone else for sharing their wonderful presentations and ideas. It is very cool to see this sharing amongst fellow practitionares of our art on the Café forum.
I cant wait to hear from others who will certainly adapt the Chosen to fit their presentations and offerings. It is like a blank canvass just waiting to be filled up with your art work of magic one brush stroke at a time. Tony
As magicians we create what onlookers call magic. If they truly believe in what we have created for them to witness then magic is real!!!

As a ELCA Pastor, the implications of the cross marked on the back of the card, being "chosen" or marked in Baptism, has some great presentational ideas.
Will have to think about this when I receive it. RevJohn |

Cool John,
I bet you will have a whole lotta neat presentations revolving around the the cross. Brother you could definitley even incorporate some very interesting gospel magic here too. Well done, Tony

When did these ship for those who pre-ordered?
Thanks. John |

Hi Rev, John and EDH.
I shipped the first orders out on Monday, then again yesterday, and again tommorrow and then next Monday again. Then the effect should be in retail stores within a week and the regular price of around $35.00 and up will kick in but I will keep all shipping globally at the flat fee of $5.00. EDH, Very clever routine! I think if I read and understood your variation correctly, then yes indeed it will work with I believe either of the two methods that I teach on my DVD. Toodles for now,

As did mine. Imagine my surprise. I pre-ordered something and it showed up. No delays, no excuses.
I'm very impressed with Tony Chris. I wish others would follow his example. I won't be able to watch the DVD until this evening - curses - but I have no doubt that it will be great. |

Mine came in as well. A lot sooner than I expected I might add. I'm just waiting for things to settle down around the house so I can watch it undisturbed.
