I'll have to totally agree with what Vraagaard posted. I don't think gumbystock was asking for the Modus operandi of the trick but merely awaiting for the forthcoming reviews as I am (and others are) and I'm sure they will. I saw nothing in his post where he in any way shape or form alluded to Richard Sanders as being a "jerk" and accusing him of such a thing was somewhat uncalled for.
Richard gives out quality effects/DVD's but I've not yet purchased it. As said, I'll wait for the reviews and I'm not expecting any detailed revelations as to how it works. After all.....that's what reviews are for! Simply to see what others think and the difficulties (or not) of a new effect are. Lighten up! ~gaffed~

There's a difference between 'no switch' and 'no ditch'....think about it

It looks to me as if after the name appears on the signed card, you hand it back to him/her without switching the card. This is also possible with the other routine that this one is based on. I don't understand what the expectation is...

I don't understand what the expectation is... I would assume after reading the post here, the expectation is a mechanical card that actually moves lines on the back of the card to form a persons name, and then somehow magically does this while still being examinable and able to be given away. Perhaps invisible monkeys who can move ink with their minds would be helpful for this method.... It looks pretty obvious what is going on from the demo, which pretty honestly shows what the effect looks like imho(heck the ditch is on camera). What are people really bickering about? You ask for demos, here is a demo that shows you how to perform this effect on your own without even buying the DVD(could say he gave away too much on this) and yet still people are claiming that it is somehow misleading? |

I guess Rich had best re-shoot this video all over again seeing that he gave the whole thing away in the demo! What was he thinking? Hmmm....maybe I need a new monitor and or better glasses. ~gaffed~

Actually, I don't think he gives away too much on the video. If you are familiar with "Named" you might know a bit about what's going on. But there is a lot more stuff on the dvd including the new routine which we don't really see on the demo.

I humbly stand corrected. I think I might have an idea how this works but I still think it's a great bit of close up theater so I'me looking forward to getting my hands on one when the orders ship in a couple of weeks.

Richard is a very clever guy - I put my pre-order in awhile ago and am patiently waiting for what is sure to be a great investment.

Rich's stuff is great, I'm sure it'll be well worth the price.

If we could get the name of a perfect stranger without asking him/her it would be a great trick!
It seems like an interesting trick. I would like to know if it is effective on acquaintances/friends/family/people we know the name of beforehand. Also, does it work with names in any script (Cyrillic, Greek, Japanese, Hieroglyphics, you name it) or only in a Latin script with no accents? |

I hope there are accents because were I live and perform for most people, they have accents.

Possibly call it a knee jerk reaction as it where and maybe a tad harsh (referring to my post and not Steve’s). I can see from NabsS profile that he is new to magic and I certainly would not wish to turn someone off to magic. I remember being new to magic and more than naïve with most of the effects. However, you’ll have to admit that common sense dictates that a signature is well….a signature and most obviously has nothing to do with ones language and or accents! In defense of Steve’s comment and mine (although mine was not brought up) that no matter how you twist, turn or tumble it over it was an outlandish and very funny question when one thinks about it even if one has nothing to do with or, knows nothing about magic! With that said I will however apologize if NabsS took any offense or was offended in any way by my post. In retrospect I’m quite sure that there were some occasions years ago that when I walked out of Magic Inc. here in Chicago that the people behind the counter simply lowered and shook their respective heads in dismay with some of my questions! ~gaffed~

I still remember the first time I saw IT and it blew me away till I found out how it was done.

I've recently seen the richard sanders shows and one of the effects there is a part where a stickman on the back of the card jumps from the top of the deck and appears in the middle of deck. I watched the method and was a little bit I wouldn't say scared but not comfortable performing the p**s to accomplish that feat. I hope some of you guys understood.
