Something occurred to me while driving home today. I've come up with a method to combine "The Biddle Trick" and "Red Hot Momma" and I was wondering if it was just an overkill effect. Basically you perform the biddle trick as usual, but when the face up card appears in the spread, you turn it over to show a red back; the only red back in the deck. Set the red card face down on the table, then have another card selected and returned to the deck. You spread to find neither a face up card nor a red backed card. Turn over the tabled red card and it is the second selection. Is this too much? Or anti-climactic? I haven't performed it yet because my solution involves a simple yet invisible gaff.

Hi,
Interesting. . .both are great effects. What you describe seems to take the best of both effects and combine them. Seems like it would be a cool. . .could you post a video in the near future?
Never underestimate your ability to touch the lives around you in so many ways!

I think to do that whole thing as one effect is too much. Just to end the Biddle trick with the different colored back would be okay in my opinion. Once you then are having another card selected (after doing a whole sequence with the first card) it is definitely a separate effect. whereas when you just do Reh Hot Mama it's much quicker: card is selected, turns red, then that card is tabled and you move onto the next card. It is accepted that it is still the same trick.
I think you can do both of these together if it is part of a whole close up routine you are doing. Yehuda |

Well, to clarify a bit more, after the Biddle Trick and showing the selection face up in the spread then having a red back, you casually set it aside. You move on to Red Hot mamma as if it were a completely seperate trick. "Lose" the selection and do a little bit of "Magician in trouble" and as an after thought, go back to the red card on the table to reveal it as the second selection. Then at the end the two seperate effects will have a unified feel to the spectator.
